    I find it a bit weird they just buy random toppings etc from various places through their vendor. I feel you would never truly get the same pizza every time. Basically just lacking quality control of product. Granted this isn’t a pizza truck that is about the heart and soul of pizza, more or less the money that can be made from it

    I’m thinking about opening a pizza food truck as well. There’s not that many choices in our small town/city of 30,000 ppl. There’s only 2-3 local pizza shops here which gives me an opportunity to not only succeed but compete with the mega pizza chains by offering something different.

      Been in food vending all my adult life. Pizza prints money. 700,000 divided into 3 trailers. I bet he's low balling those numbers. The pizza business I work for makes millions at music festivals and Nascar or PGA events or bike rallies. I've seen a pizza company make over a million dollars in a 4 day event with 5 locations. 10 bucks a slice 60 for a whole pie, you do the math

      One of our trucks has a Honda generator that cost $7,000 the other truck has an Onan generator that cost $8,000. The newest truck has a $2,500 predator generator because it comes with a two-year warranty so at that two-year Mark you can exchange it for a brand new one no questions asked. So yes it's an extremely intelligent decision to go with The predator. Any food truck owner should do that because of the warranty included.
