The company I work for likes to show their employees appreciation by hiring a catered food truck every month. We always appreciate the free meal, but it's sort of sacred to us as well. So when we started seeing poor reviews of Yummy Pizza Food Truck in advance we were a bit unenthusiastic about this pick. Naturally small portions, burnt sandwich bread, long wait times, and bad customer service became inter office jokes for weeks leading to our event.
Well, I can say that those complaints are half-true, but if you don't order the sandwiches and go into Yummy Pizza with some knowledge you can end up with a very tasty pizza for your patience.
First, I agree that the pizza is small for the price and I'd suggest that if you're going for quantity for your dollar I'd definitely get the stuffers instead.
Everyone complained about the burnt bread on their sandwiches, but they really liked the part that wasn't burnt (to the point that some went back for seconds). Plus those fries were a big hit in our office.
The sign on the truck promised a genuine New York style pizza, and I guess it wouldn't be the same without an aggressive New York style attitude from the cashier because that's what we got.
Abrupt "SPEAK UP", "WE DON'T HAVE THAT", and "WHATDOYA' WANT" statements from our cashier were surprising, but gave us loads of entertainment during our wait (including Seinfeld Soup Nazi quotes). Honestly, nothing was funnier watching someone going to order with no idea of what they were walking into. 😂 In the end, the same aggressive guy was a delight to talk to when they were not busy, but "Look Out" when they are.
And speaking of that wait..., yeah these guys seem to like to focus on one thing at a time. Nobody's wait was under 15 minutes and it looked like they just worked on getting all the orders in first before any food came out. But when the food starting coming out it was rapid fire.
Anyhow, if you can deal with what I described above and you have a flexible lunch hour then I'd say that you should give Yummy Pizza a go. I personally liked the Deluxe pizza I got, but knowing what I know, I would have gotten it...
Read moreThey came to my work. Since they can only take cash, I had to pay through my work. I went with my receipt and showed them that I got fries, pizza, and sprite. They food truck guy game me my sprite and told me to wait a few minutes while they made the fries and pizza. I was the only one there then 10 minutes later a couple of more people showed up and gave him their receipt. The food truck guy came out with a pizza and asked who got a pizza I raised my hand and walked to the front. He gave it to me and then I asked him what about the fries, he then said I didn’t order fries. I told him I did, then he went and got very little fries because he didn’t believe I paid for the fries, I tried to show him that he had given me my sprite, but he didn’t care. He still insisted that I didn’t pay. He had the receipt so I couldn’t show him anything. I went and told my job what happened, they stated they would give the food truck guy a feedback. The fries were cold. The pizza was extremely oily to the point where it was dripping down. I ate two pieces barely finished and then I trashed everything. It was a waste of my money. Wouldn’t...
Read moreWith the expectation that food trucks at parks are subpar or at least gas station quality, you are pleasantly surprised when you taste the food and realize the quality can easily rival those genuine “whole in the wall” spots. After spending some time chasing the kids around in the park or the dog tired you out from a walk, this is some awesome comfort food. Pizza is a solid 8/10. Perfect balance of thin crust, tomato sauce and cheese, like a NY pizza should be. Pepperoni pizza perhaps could’ve had one or two pepperonis, but didn’t take away from how good it is. Cheese pizza was cheesy, really cheesy. Wings were very crispy and off the bone, with plenty of wing sauce and ranch. Without hesitation I could probably have given 5 stars if it didn’t feel just a tad bit expensive. Will probably eat from this place again if I’m in...
