    Pepe

    Perfect grab on the way home dinner or meet with friends. The pizza is really good. The crust is thin so the pizzas feel light. Each pizza is good enough for 2 people to share. I ordered online and picked it up but you can also order delivery. They have shaded tables setup and music playing. Good amount of parking. I ordered 2 pizzas and can't decide which one I liked more.

    Sausage pizza

    This place is awesome! I met one of the owners, and Chris is outstanding. I love people that love their business, and I could tell this guy loves people and loves his business. I went on a Friday night, right when they opened, and, of course, no one was there. This is a food truck, so I really wasn't expecting much by way of ambiance or aesthetics, but they literally had tables and chairs and canopies set up. Super inviting and really chill! Had I not been in a rush, I would have totally eaten there. I had the sausage pizza, and it was absolutely incredible! I love the melted fontina in there, and the crust had a really nice, chewy bite to it. The cook was perfect: the cheese was perfectly melted, the sausage had great flavor, and the pizza as a whole was really enjoyable. I'll say, if there was one complaint I had, it was that the pizza itself was a little greasy, so I think they were probably a little heavy-handed on the chili olive oil. Other than that, it was really good! This is one of those places that's just a really good product from a very talented food truck person. If you haven't tried this pizza yet, please do because I absolutely love it and will totally be back!

    Top-Pepperoni Bottom-Honey & Burrata
    Lannce C.

    Pizza was delicious. Ordered the honey & burrata and the pepperoni. Texture was soft and gooey crust. Sauce was very flavorful and cheese was stretchy. Service was nice and fast. Ambiance is outdoors, but nice chairs/tables to sit. Decor was nice and more of an upscale food truck seating area.

    Dog-friendly!!!

    Nuovo Pizza is one of those places that makes you wonder why more restaurants don't do things this way. Tucked into an outdoor food truck patio at Shepherd and Willow, it's visible from the street with an easy entrance across from The Row. Best part? They're dog-friendly - something shockingly rare in this part of town - so when we DM'd to ask if our pup could join, the enthusiastic yes already set the tone. They operate like a true outdoor restaurant, not just a pop-up with tables. Even in winter, the space is enclosed and warmed with heaters that actually work. You can grab pizza to go or settle in at one of the tables, which are perfect for groups of up to six. Pizzas come out fast, and the whole setup feels relaxed without feeling thrown together. What really stood out was the service. All 3 people working outside checked in - asking how the pizza was, stopping to chat, even saying hello to our dog. It felt genuine and personal in a way you rarely get at bigger brick-and-mortar spots. I hope they never lose that part of the experience. We ordered the Queen's Margherita, which was fresh, balanced, and everything you want from a classic - especially with burrata involved. Mmmmm burrata... But the real star was the Pepe (ordered no arugula, though it still made an appearance). Even so, the flavor was unreal. Between the pepperoni, aged cheese, and fresh balsamic, it's easily the best gourmet pizza I've had in Fresno - and we've tried them all. Sorry to the hot honey fans, but the Pepe is in a league of its own. At $20-$23 per pizza, Nuovo is a must-try for anyone who appreciates scratch-made pizza, quality ingredients, a chill atmosphere, and a place where your dog is just as welcome as you are. We'll absolutely be back.

    Hot Honey Burrata
    Andrew K.

    I never would have thought my finest pizza experience in town would come courtesy of a food truck. The odds shot up considerably when I learned that their pizzas are made in a wood-fired oven. This is because the high heat of the oven makes the crust chewy and uniquely crispy. The rapid cooking process helps the toppings retain their freshness and flavor, while also imparting extra crispness. The burning wood imparts a smoky flavor to the pizza, which enhances its overall taste. Their signature Hot Honey Burrata rises to the top of the list of the best pizzas I have tried in the Central Valley. It is a delicious combination of pepperoni and margherita, with a drizzle of Mike's hot honey and Enzo's Fresno chili oil. The Neopolitan-style crust had an exceptional texture: crispy on the outside with a nice char, soft and chewy on the inside. They use high-quality flour for an artisanal crust and fresh San Marzano tomatoes for a bright, fresh flavor. The toppings were fresh, crisp, and vibrant. The sauce was fresh, tangy, and balanced, really complementing the cheese and toppings. The seasonings, drizzle of hot honey, and chili oil added an extra dimension of flavor. The wood smoke infuses the crust and toppings with a delicious, authentic smoky flavor. The pizza successfully connects traditional with modern elements, tastefully creating a fresh perspective on classic pizzas. The La Spetza is altogether a unique pizza experience. Created with creamy fontina and sharp gorgonzola cheeses, fennel sausage, fresh basil, Calabrian chilis for some heat, and finishes with a drizzle of Enzo's Fresno chili oil. It promises to be their fieriest, richest, and most complex pizza yet, and they deliver exceedingly. The wood-fired pizzas create exceptional texture, crispy toppings, smoky flavor, and fast cooking time that cannot be replicated with conventional ovens, resulting in a more flavorful and rustic pizza experience. Service was prompt, helpful, and friendly.

    Sweet, spicy and cheesy thin pizza just the way we like it !

    Outdoor seating with shade, perfect for this weather ! Service with a smile loving the thin crust

    Excellent pizza, bills itself as being the best in town, but I am not sure it quite passes that litmus. Annex reigns supreme, but I would say this place is tied for second with Annesso. We had the pepe and hot honey burrata, both were very good. (I wasn't a fan of the arugula after all on the pepe, but thats a me thing, there was nothing wrong with it.) Service is good, you order at a little kiosk when you walk in, food is brought to your table. They do have a heater inside the seating area, but just one, not sure how warm it is on really cold days, or if they have any mitigations for summer. Will definitely come back.

    This pizza spot never disappoints! I crave the hot honey burrata all the time. The vibe is soooo chill and they have coffee too! Nothing like a delicious pizza and coffee while eating outside.

    Christina M.

    I have found my pizza place! When I crave pizza, I'm looking for a specific flavor and texture in the crust and Nuovo is it! Just the right amount of chew to the crust, the toppings all complement each other and the sauce isn't overpowering. I'm so glad I found this place. You won't be disappointed!

    Buratta and honey

    Amazing fresh made wood fire pizzas at prompt service, friendly staff. The pizzas are delicious.

    Nuovo makes a killer wood fired pizza for a food truck. A lot of trucks will toss pizzas out of Oonis or other deliberately portable ovens but these guys actually smashed a full sized wood fired oven into their truck. Prices are fair, quality is fantastic, and the menu is simple. I really enjoyed the Hot Honey Ricotta and would strongly recommend it. Definitely worth a visit!

    Margherita and pepe
    Sunitha G.

    I'm so happy I got to try Nuovo! Me and my husband normally have to go out of town to get some good wood fired pizza, but now we have one that we like here in town! The taste and texture of the pizza was perfect. The person who took our order was very nice and our pizza's came out at a timely manner. There is seating here, but it is limited. We were more than happy to eat outside of our car and watch the sunset, super chill if you're into that lol I highly recommend trying this place if you haven't!

    Hot Honey Burrata

    Amazing, flavorful, the Best in town! I'm a foodie and a pizza lover... hands down 12/10! I recommend everyone try this place, you will not be disappointed! Friendly and welcoming staff. I can't wait to go back! Come early cause they do sell out.

Well she is amazing and just talking to her in this short time that I was there you can definitely hear her love for food and our community. Her and her husband put a lot of time into this restaurant to make sure the quality is perfect at every bite in everything they cook. What helps this pizza taste great is the style of their brick oven. It's the only way to have a really good pizza cooked. I hear they just opened up another location off of Fowler and Ashlan and the atmosphere, music and customers are really good. I had ordered or made my own style of pizza, and let me tell you right out of the gate that crust omg was so crispy, cooked perfectly and tasted just perfect. Their pizza sauce is home made and let me say hands down one of the best sauces I've had in a long time. I will be back to try more off the menu but I'm sure it will hit a home run for our community. Thank you so much Catarina for the hospitality, the visit and your time. It is a pleasure to have met you and gained a new friend I'll be Back soon

They check your ID to make sure you're legit when you pay with a credit card. The pizza dough is DELICIOUS. I usually just make my own personal/small pizza and they just charge a flat fee regardless of how many toppings I'm adding to it. There have been a couple times when they've been a little stingy with the toppings, but it's still so delicious, so I can't deduct a star for that. In my opinion, it almost falls under a Detroit-style pizza...not too thin or thick, but the dough has just enough pillow to it. *Bonus - during Christmas time, they go all out with some kooky decorations in their tiny space and it brings a smile.

I had to go to Urgent Care twice and had X-rays to ensure I would not require surgery. They never called me back, not a care in the world to offer to pay for my medical bills. Story below ... I would never order from here again. I ate 3 slices then bit into something hard. I removed a small piece of metal with one end that looked like a sharp fish hook or something. I panicked and realized that I may have eaten other objects from the other slices I had already eaten. I went to urgent care right away to see if anything showed up on the xray and to my absolute horror it did. In my upper intestine there was a xray of the same sharp hook like object. The doctor told me the risks of intestinal bleeding if it got caught on the lining of my intestines and that it may require surgery to get it out, and if that was required it would be very difficult to find it, risk of infection, it was a nightmare. So for 3 days I had to wait and have this on my conscious. I went back to get a xray and thank God nothing showed up, so it must have passed through me. The doctor told me he was surprised it passed without getting stuck because of the fish hook appearance of the metal object. So I called BC's and spoke with the manager they said it was a family operated business and they would call me. They never did. I never tried to sue them or anything, I just wanted an apology and the owners didn't even have the decency to apologize and get to the bottom of why this was in my pizza. I was scared that this could have been in others' pizza too and not just mine. What if a little kid ate the pizza? How reckless and cruel to not even give the customer a phone call. I ended up filing a report with the county health department and they did an inspection and found multiple violations, which included not keeping the prep area clean and free of debris and no food safety manager on duty. I still have a picture of what was in my pizza. If you saw it you would never eat at a place like this ever again.

First of all just know that a calm sit down atmosphere isn't this place, it is absolutely a take out, take home restaurant. That being said the gal who took my order was very helpful and suggested the best pizza's for what I described I wanted. The service was spot on and yes, she was correct. Now for the pizzas!! I got an all meat Chicago, Detroit combo and a Hawaiian. The Chicago stole the show with plenty of meat, a heavy cheese and the topping of sauce was perfect. The sauce wasn't too sweet and seemed like fresh tomatoes, not the fake sugary sauce that you might buy in bulk. I love a good sauce but I am not a tomato lover so this was surprising. The other pizzas were just as good but we need to talk about the dough. The dough was almost perfect with a crisp bite, but not dry or rubbery. Again, not too sweet either but seemed to carry the weight of the toppings well and didn't cave in. Overall I would put Hot Rod Willy's Pizza at about a solid 8 for the entire experience. The cost was reasonable and I would definitely travel from Merced to Fresno again to snag a few pizzas. I would encourage the owner to take a look at Merced if he chooses to expand!
