I think the most impressive thing about Crankees is that these looney people decided to build a real pizza oven inside a food truck. By real oven I mean one that gets to like 900 degrees. How they both aren't roasting themselves alive inside it is beyond me. My shock quickly turned to awe when I ordered their special of the day and the pizza came out in like 90 seconds. That's how it's done folks! I liked their crust first of all, it was excellent and came out perfectly cooked. This particular pie had anchovies, olives and other salty things on it, which to be quite honest may have been too salty if I were not in a salt cravin' mood. I really enjoyed the pizza. Their pies are made on the spot, and because it's so quick to cook most of the wait time was due to the assembly. I think it literally was 5-7 minutes from ordering to receiving, although there were only 3 people before me. If these guys continue to park on this corner every Thursday I might be bringing these pies home quite frequently. read more

Crankees Pizza. Really good wood fired pizza driving up to you at lunch. The crust was PERFECT. I had the Margareta which had basil and mozzarella. Could have had more more basil, but I love basil. There is also Marinara ~ tomato sauce, oregano, garlic, basil Pepperoni ~ tomato sauce, fresh mozzarella, sopressata, basil Yankee ~ tomato sauce, fresh mozz, sopressata, house made fennel sausage, arugula Meatball ~ tomato sauce, meatballs, fresh mozz, red onion, pecorino The Supreme ~ fresh mozz, sopressata, red onion, roasted mushrooms, pecorino, pesto The "Funguy" ~ ricotta, fresh mozz, pecorino, roasted mushrooms I did not see the Meatball, or Supreme or the Funguy when they came. So not sure if they rotate. It is the real deal with the 900 degree Pizza oven in the truck. Gotta love imagination! I think they also serve drinks, but only pizza, no sides or salads whatsoever. Great on the move pizza! read more

When you're 12 weeks pregnant, have a snackey husband on your hands and pass a Food truck, what happens? You're eating Crankee's Pizza 10 minutes later. We ordered the Pepperoni pizza and the 10 inch pie was a perfect "snack" for us. The sauce was delicious and in my opinion made the pizza. The Pepperoni was different but in the best since possible! So fresh and tasty. We inhaled this pizza with lighting speed and talked about it while we drove away. My only draw back was that the toppings(sauce, cheese and pepperoni ) kept sliding off, you had to pick up the pizza just right to keep it all on, wish it was a bit firmer, but hey with the amazing flavor that Crankee's delivers, who's complaining???? read more

I am a huge pizza critic. I know what's good and what's not. This pizza was just.. okay.. The ingredients were great and fresh but the thig that killed my appetite was the burnt bottom. To be clear, they did not burn the pizza, but it is cooked fresh in what I would assume to be a stone oven and there were bits that were burnt. Every single bite, I was tasting char. I tried to put it off in my mind, but I could not get it right. The bad taste was too overhwleming for me to enjoy what seemed to be a well-made pizza. The experience was very saddening to me, as I was lookig forward to becoming a Crankees fan. Perhaps I'll try again some time, but first impact is huge for me. I would suggest to offer pizza slices as I'd rather pay $2 a slice than $10 for a 10" pizza.. Crayz concept, but it's all about convenience. I think you'd get a lot more business. And if that char taste is a consistent flavor in your pizzas (I hope it's not) then find a solution to that. Perhaps oil or butter on the crust bottom to prevent easy burning. Again, Okay.. I would suggest Music City Pizza, Luigi's, Mellow Mushroom, or Jets. Shoot, even Domino's leaves a better taste in my mouth. read more

Sometimes, the pizza is awesome--charred, bubbly crust, just the right amount of cheese. Other times, it is a soggy mess, even when I eat immediately. Today, it was a small, soggy mess with a hole in the center of one of the slices that allowed all of the cheese to slip right through. No char on the crust, which was doughy. Not sure if they have someone new cooking pizzas, but I was pretty disappointed. It also looks like the size shrank. Maybe I'll give them another shot. read more

How to enjoy Crankees: 1. Order a pizza that can be delivered to your door. 2. When the delivery man arrives, punt that pizza into the street. 3. Find out where Crankees is. 4. Go order anything off their menu. It's delicious. 5. Tell them you punted another pizza into the street for lacking the flavors that Crankees offers. Got this pizza yesterday at Porter Flea and it was wonderful. It'll make you want to punt Domino's into the street and scare a delivery person. Will definitely eat there again. read more

Had it before and it was good. Today, a soggy mess with all the toppings on one side of the pizza. Then you have to carry a hot pizza between two thin paper plates. The wood fired oven gives a nice char. Costs too much for what you get. Not again. read more

Good crust. I really enjoyed the first slice I had but by the 2nd slice I was over it. Just not my style of pizza. Wood stove in truck is super cool. read more
