Short presentation

Hi to all

My name is Jean-Luc, I own a pizza truck here in France. I’m member of the Fédération des Pizzaïolos Français, a new French federation whose the aim is to promote quality pizza in France.

I hope to share with you all what makes a pizza good in both our countries and learn a bit more about pizza in the USA.

Greetings

JL

Welcome!!

Pizza truck? Is this a mobile kitchen, where everything is self-contained (i.e. prep tables, sinks, oven, etc.) Just curious. Thanks and welcome.

That’s it. Pizza trucks are common in France. There are at least 9 trucks in my town working every evening. If you’re interested, I will post pics of my truck.

Nice looking trucks! A lot like a “pizza trailer” but a lot more mobile.
Anybody have a ny pics of the interior set-up?
How do you operate these? Receive a phone order and then prepare the pizza as you drive to the delivery address? What kind/type of dough do you use? (Make your own or use a prepared dough) How about ovens, I didn’t see any gas tanks, so I’ll assume they are electric. Boy! I’m just full of questions…always wanting to learn more about the way some body else makes their pizzas.
Welcome!

I will try to post pics of the interior this weekend.

I work somewhat like a take out shop, always at the same place every evening. I make my own dough, a mix of different high W flours.

There was a man that had a fleet of that type of truck running under the name of Super Fast Pizza here is an article on his opperation. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/7726695/

That truck is just beggin’ to be wrapped!

Wonder if that guy is still in business. I could not see how he would make it work with the capitalization required to outfit an entire truck ending up like being a one-driver store.

A quick google search makes me think that the guy in WI who was operating as Super Fast Pizza is no longer in business. The website just loads into a buy this domain thing. He got a TON of press from the idea too, so it really is surprising that it didn’t work out for him.
