Pizza catering in Sint-Truiden
At a glance
Parties with the seasons
A spring party under white blossom or a late-summer evening among heavy boughs: we adapt the flow to the light and the temperature of the moment.
Long tables in the grass
Pizza by the slice travels hand to hand along a long table between the fruit trees. Guests stay seated and the platters come to them.
Dolci under the trees
With the Full experience the party closes on tiramisu and cannoli, with a limoncello for anyone keen to linger and chat under the trees.
The year of the fruit region
Sint-Truiden is the capital of fruit growing in Haspengouw. In April the landscape turns white and pink with blossom, drawing walkers and cyclists from all over the country every spring. Anyone organising a party in those weeks has a backdrop no decorator can match. A wood-fired oven at the edge of the orchard completes the picture.
In summer the cherries hang on the trees and the evenings grow long. That is the season for garden parties, communions and weddings at a farm. Later, when apples and pears are picked, it shifts to harvest parties and anniversaries in a barn with the doors wide open, while the oven burns outside in the yard.
Each season does call for its own timing. In spring it cools quickly after sunset, so we start the aperitivo earlier and let the pizzas arrive while it is still light. In summer the party can run on past ten, with the dolci in the dark and the glow of the oven as the only lighting.
An evening in the orchard
We open with antipasti, bruschetta and focaccia hot from the oven, as guests wander among the trees holding an Aperol or some Italian wine. Then everyone settles at long tables. The pizzaiolo bakes six to ten varieties, cut into slices, and the staff carry them round until nobody wants another piece.
The service takes roughly two hours, perhaps a bit longer. If you want to schedule a speech, a dance or a surprise, we agree beforehand on a moment when the oven turns down a little. The team lit the fire an hour and a half before the start, so your guests never notice that preparation.
Practicalities on a Haspengouw farm
Many parties around Sint-Truiden take place on a square farmstead, with farmhouse, stables and barns around a closed courtyard. That courtyard is usually paved or cobbled, which makes it an ideal spot for a four-by-four metre tent. The grass between the fruit trees works too, as long as the loam hasn’t gone too soft after rain.
Beneath every pizza lies a Neapolitan sourdough with a two-to-three-day rise, and what goes on top comes from Italy. We always bake vegetarian pizzas, and vegan and gluten-free ones on request in a separate zone. You receive an allergen list in advance, so guests with an allergy can join the table without worry.
