Pizza catering in Tervuren
At a glance
Guests from every corner
A garden party in Tervuren often sounds like three or four languages at once. We talk to your guests in Dutch, French or English and happily explain every pizza.
Children join the table
Small guests watch the fire, fascinated, and share in the rounds. A simple margherita is always ready for anyone who is not feeling adventurous.
Calm and discreet
Behind the hedges of a villa, a party should be understated. Our team works unobtrusively and lets the host set the tone.
A summer afternoon on the green edge
Tervuren feels different from the rest of the Brussels periphery. The avenues of the park, the ponds behind the AfricaMuseum and the trees of the Sonian Forest give the municipality an almost rural calm, even though the capital is just around the corner. Many families came here for a job at an international organisation or for one of the nearby schools, and like to celebrate at home, in a garden they maintain with care.
At such a party, colleagues, neighbours and family who have flown in specially all come together. So the menu has to appeal widely, the service stay light and the mood relaxed. A wood-fired oven does exactly that: it gives guests something to gather around, sparks curiosity in children and delivers a meal that feels unfamiliar to nobody.
How your party goes, round after round
We begin with an aperitivo that guests discover for themselves: lukewarm focaccia with olive oil, bruschetta with tomato and basil, sliced salumi and cheeses. Anyone holding an Aperol drifts over to the oven to watch the edges of the dough puff up and blister. The children are usually already in the front row.
After about half an hour the first pizza follows. We bake one kind at a time, divide it into slices and carry it round on boards. That way everyone tastes a piece of six to ten different flavours, from a classic marinara to a white pizza with seasonal vegetables. If a toast is planned, for a birthday or a farewell, we hold the next round until the glasses have been raised.
Finish with the Full experience and you close on tiramisu, cannoli and a limoncello. The whole evening takes between 120 and 150 minutes, just long enough to watch the sun sink behind the trees. Anyone who wants a stroll along the park’s ponds afterwards still has plenty of daylight on a June evening.
Setting up between hedges and tall trees
Villa gardens in Tervuren are often spacious, but also planted with old trees and hedges. For the oven we choose an open spot, so the smoke does not linger among low-hanging branches. On the lawn or terrace a three-by-three tent is enough, or four by four for larger groups, as long as the ground is level and we can reach it along a path about two and a half metres wide.
Long before your first guests ring the bell, the wood is already crackling. After dessert we pack up; our waste leaves with us, and the Tervuren garden looks the next morning as if nothing happened. A parking space for our vehicle close to the drive, preferably not in the middle of the avenue, makes unloading in Tervuren much calmer for the neighbours.
Super lekkere pizza’s! Feestje helemaal geslaagd dankzij Prestigio. :)
