Is a birthday with only fifteen guests possible?

Yes, there is no minimum. For a small group we often choose a calmer baking rhythm and more variety per round, so everyone can try everything. A smaller party also needs less space, although the oven is always an outdoor setup.

Can you start late in the evening?

The baking lasts a good two hours, two and a half at most, and you decide when that begins: early evening for a family party, or later when friends only arrive after work. That start time is fixed beforehand in the proposal.

Do you also provide drinks?

We offer Italian drinks: Aperol, limoncello and a choice of wines from Italy. Beer, soft drinks or a bar of your own you arrange yourself. The proposal shows exactly what we bring and what you provide, so nothing is missing on the night.

How do you keep a surprise party secret?

Tell us when the birthday guest is definitely out. We plan our arrival and setup around that moment and communicate only with you. The oven does need its warm-up time, so we are there well before the guests arrive.

Pizza catering for your birthday party

Whether you are turning eighteen, forty or sixty: a birthday is best celebrated without fuss, with good food and people who stick around. Pizza catering with a wood-fired oven in the garden or out front creates exactly that atmosphere.

Relaxed atmosphere

No seating plan, no courses: everyone takes a slice, carries on chatting and comes back when the next round leaves the oven.

Different for every age

An eighteenth runs on volume and pace, a sixtieth on aperitif and a good glass of wine. We adapt the option and the rhythm to the company.

Surprise possible

A surprise party? We only coordinate with you on when we arrive and set up, so the birthday guest notices nothing until the oven is already burning.

Eighteen, forty, sixty: every party has its own tempo

An eighteenth birthday is an evening full of young people with big appetites. Pizza à volonté is the logical choice: rounds of different varieties following each other quickly, in pieces you eat standing up between dances. Only above roughly a hundred and fifty guests is a second oven needed, so even a large circle of friends is served smoothly.

Around thirty and forty the emphasis shifts. Children run about, a baby monitor sits in the kitchen, and the evening starts earlier. An Aperitivo of focaccia and antipasti sets the tone while the youngest already get a margherita. Then come the pizzas for the adults, with an Aperol spritz or a red wine from Italy in hand.

At a fiftieth or sixtieth, guests ask for more calm and quality. The Full experience, with tiramisu and cannoli to finish, turns it into a proper dinner without anyone having to stand in the kitchen. If you like, end with a limoncello and a toast to the guest of honour while the oven is still glowing.

The birthday host as a guest at their own party

Anyone who cooks for forty people sees little of their own birthday. With a baking crew on site you are not tied to the stove and need not count whether there is still enough. The crew keeps baking for as long as the service runs, about two hours or a little more, and adjusts the rhythm when a speech or a gift is up next.

Fancy a personal touch? A pizza with the birthday guest’s favourite ingredients, an Italian dessert that recalls a trip, or limoncello for the toast: we are happy to put such details in the proposal. Vegetarian pizzas are on the menu anyway, and for guests with allergies we work in a separate zone.

At home, in a small hall or in a workshop

Birthdays are celebrated in all kinds of places: in the garden, on a shared courtyard, in a friend’s workshop or in a rented hall. For the oven it matters little, as long as it can stand outside or under an open shelter. A flat piece of ground where a party tent of about three metres square fits is enough.

If the party is planned in a hall, check whether an outdoor space comes with it and whether outside catering is allowed. With a photo and the address we can judge whether the approach road is straightforward. After the service we leave our corner empty and clean, waste included, so the hall looks tidy for the next hirer.

Uitstekende service en superlekkere authentieke Italiaanse pizza's. Voor ons bedrijfsfeest hebben we Presitigio ingehuurd en zij hebben ons volledig ontzorgt. Chapeau! Ga zo door en tot een volgende keer!
