Pizza catering in La Cambre & Louise
At a glance
Standing reception
At a presentation or private view, guests circulate. Small slices of pizza and bites from the oven fit in one hand, next to a glass.
A courtyard that comes alive
The wood-fired oven turns a quiet courtyard behind a townhouse or gallery into a warm Italian piazza.
Timing around the programme
A fashion show, a speech or an unveiling gets all the attention. The rounds follow the programme, never the other way round.
Fashion, offices and stately townhouses
Avenue Louise is the smartest axis in Brussels: fashion houses, jewellers and offices in stately buildings, with side streets full of townhouses behind. At the end of the avenue the Bois de la Cambre opens up, with its lake and its paths, and a little further on lies La Cambre Abbey with its terraced gardens. It is the part of Ixelles where business and elegance go hand in hand.
Parties here are often occasions with a purpose: presenting a new collection, thanking clients, reopening a gallery, celebrating a fiftieth birthday in a townhouse. Guests are used to polished receptions. That is exactly why a wood-fired oven stands out. It brings movement and aroma into a setting that might otherwise feel a little measured.
A reception built around a presentation
At a fashion presentation or client reception, everything revolves around the moment when the collection, the product or the speaker takes centre stage. So we begin with an aperitivo guests can hold in one hand: slim strips of focaccia, bruschetta and small antipasti, with a spritz or a glass of Italian bubbles. That keeps attention on the collection.
During the show or the speech the fire is turned down for a moment, so no smell of fresh pizza distracts and the team stays quiet. Afterwards the rounds start, cut smaller than at a garden party. Six to ten kinds pass by at a brisk pace, always with a vegetarian choice. Vegan or gluten-free slices we make separately on request.
With the Full experience we finish with tiramisu and cannoli, handy to hold during a last conversation. In a gallery or townhouse around Avenue Louise, guests often linger by the oven in the courtyard, where the fire glows softly and talk about the collection carries on a while longer.
Parking permit, quick unloading and the courtyard
Working around Avenue Louise takes planning. Parking at the door is rarely free and often calls for a short-term parking permit or an agreed loading bay. We unload as fast as possible and then move the vehicle further away. The set-up happens in the garden or on the courtyard, where the oven can stand outdoors with the smoke rising freely to the sky.
The Brussels low-emission zone applies around Louise too, something we handle in our journey planning. We are on site 90 minutes before the doors open, so the oven is hot when the first invitees step in. After a good two hours of service we clear the courtyard completely. That way the client notices nothing the next morning.
De kwaliteit van de pizza’s was uitstekend: vers, smaakvol en voor elk wat wils. Het team was zeer professioneel, vriendelijk en zorgde met een glimlach dat al onze 60 feestvierders vlot bediend werden. De mobiele pizzaovens gaven extra…
