Del Popolo Pizza Truck | San Francisco (USA)

San Francisco based Del Popolo have used their limited space wisely and bring Neapolitan-inspired pizza to the neighbourhood from a 5,000lb Stefano Ferrara wood fired brick oven enclosed in a deconstructed, modified transatlantic shipping container mounted to a Freightliner M2 truck. The glass enclosed exhibition kitchen is one-of-a-kind although the end result is much the same as a restaurant kitchen, except this one can move.

Del Popolo meaning ‘of the people’ is the creation of Jonathan Darsky who believes in the simple yet egalitarian nature of pizza and its ability to bring people together. As you would expect, all pizzas are prepared using a on-board dough mixer and a considered combination of organic ingredients sourced from small, domestic and Italian producers.

Darsky’s innovative mobile kitchen took 18 months to design and build yet the results were worth the graft; the quality is equal to those of a bricks and mortar restaurant.
