Really loved this truck! Went to event with them and everything was soo good. Great quality slices and so much variety.. pretty much any pizza you can think of. Service was great as they were able to explain all of it. My fav slices were the eggplant, Brussels sprouts, bacon, and more. The truck additionally had cappuccino and espresso. Can't recommend this truck enough- absolutely delicious read more

Old World Pizza Truck is a wood-fired pizza truck that opened in New Haven, Connecticut in 2007. It was founded by husband and wife Jack & Janet Flagge. No strangers to the culinary world, the Flagges have been involved in the catering business since 1980. When they founded their pizza truck business in 2007, the Flagges joined just a handful of other pizza trucks in Connecticut. They chose the name "Old World" to reflect a way of life and cooking: a celebration where food is more than just nourishment. Today the Flagges have a fleet of multiple pizza trucks and a staff of 25+ employees. The trucks travel around Connecticut to craft delicious wood-fired pizza pies at wineries, breweries, festivals, and private functions. When the trucks aren't running, they are parked behind One 6 Three: a brick & mortar wood-fired pizzeria that was founded by the Flagge's daughter Alexa and her boyfriend Andrew Holmes. Many of the menu items between Old World and One 6 Three are the same. My family and I recently sampled some pizzas from Old World while we were attending a friend's birthday party. Old World was hired to cater the party. I had previously sampled pizza from their sister business: One 6 Three. While some of the pizza varieties were the same, others were exclusive to the pizza truck menu. Throughout the party, some of the pizzas prepared included Pepperoni, Margherita, Fresh Sliced Tomato, Mashed Potato & Bacon, White Clam, Eggplant, Sausage, Asparagus, Spinach, Mushroom, Broccoli Rabe, Shrimp, Caramelized Onions, Roasted Red Peppers, Pan-Seared Zucchini, Filet Mignon, and Peanut Butter & Jelly. They were all delicious!! Afterwards, the friendly staff served French-style ice cream, espresso, cappuccino, and affogatos for dessert. I was really impressed with the pizza from Old World and I hope to run into one of their trucks again! read more

Our guests were absolutely amazed by the truck and blown away by both the generous quantity and the high-end quality of the pizza. It was truly an unforgettable experience, and I'm so grateful for the outstanding service OWPT provided. The crew sent was absolutely fantastic--friendly, professional, and incredibly attentive to every guest. I honestly couldn't have found a better catering solution. We even had some out-of-state guests, and thanks to you, they now understand why Connecticut and New Haven are home to the country's best pizza! Thanks again! read more

Old World Pizza Truck - The Gallo wedding after party was a hit! - Caterers Near Me - New Haven, Connecticut

Hiring Old World Pizza Truck was the best decision I made for a party! From the very first detailed email from Janet ( she, along with her husband, Jack are the owners) to the date of the party, was a seamless transaction! The crew sent out were Fantastic! Jim and Matt arrived as expected (earlier) and got the truck ready for the start time of the party. Everything was seamlessly done and the rest of the friendly and helpful crew arrived and served up some gorgeous salads and amazing and delish pizza! There were so many to choose from and within minutes more was being fired up and served and many more delicious combinations of toppings! Soon, everyone was comparing their favorites! They crew also accommodates GF pizza eaters- also delicious! The dessert pizzas and hand scooped French Ice cream were a hit as well as the cappucino and espresso coffees. The clean up was timely and after filling everyone up with their delicious ness, they said goodbye with boxed up leftovers and a bottle of their wine for us to enjoy later on. Guests are still raving about it- as of a week later, still getting texts and phone calls how great the pizza was!!! You know that the food is the entire party and the pizza was absolutely delicious! Their motto is We Cook with Love and there is definitely a lot of love in their food! They also have a restaurant at 163 Foster St. In New Haven. OWPT, Janet & Jack have this operation nailed down and dialed in and it shows! You won't be anything but impressed with them from beginning to end! read more

This was simply the best experience we could have imagined. They were super easy to deal with to set our event up. On the day of our event the staff arrived and literally took care of everything. The pizza was outstanding and everyone couldn't stop talking about how delicious it was. The staff was top notch, super friendly and made sure everyone was enjoying the pizza. They also cleaned up everything before they left. A 10/10 experience. Will definitely use them again in the future. read more

It's the absolute best. I have recommended it to all of my friends!! Fresh, prompt, friendly, efficient service

I hired old world pizza truck for my sons 8th birthday. From the initial conversation until the clean up at the party they were professional and accommodating. The party was on a Saturday at noon and the pizza truck arrived some time before that to set up and get the oven hot. They were kind enough to make us a "breakfast pizza" to give us and idea of what we would be getting at the party. The guys were all so pleasant and had great personalities which they used to play up to the party guests. We had 50 people. 20+ children and their parents. The set up was clean and organized. They gave us a tour of the truck and where all the supplies and food items were stored. They asked us what type of music we liked and had decent speakers which added to the enjoyment. And then the pizzas started coming out....... The party was June 1st and I'm still hearing parents talk about the pizza. There were so many unbelievable pies. My favorite was the potato pie with bacon. I saw pies with shrimp, pies with chicken, it seemed endless the possibilities. I tired the peanut butter and jelly pie. Wow. Who knew. The pies kept coming and the staff would patiently explain them to what seemed like every guest. They're so attentive. There were cute little nuances in between too such as photo opportunities and having my son ring the bell on the truck. When it was time for dessert, the gelato was fantastic. Everyone, I mean everyone tried it. And they made cappuccino and espresso. Even that was amazing, so much so that my 90 year old Italian nana enjoyed it. They cleaned up without any inconvenience to us. We left with big hugs. After the hours they spent at the party they felt like family. Would absolutely love to have them cater our parties again. Hands down worth every dollar. Thanks again guys. read more

Jack and his team catered our Company Picnic last Saturday. With approx. 250 people they seamlessly fed us all in a timely manner and with a smile. Their repertoire of Gourmet Pizza's was extensive, Artichoke, Shrimp Scampi, Asparagus, Fig, BBQ Chicken with Blue Berries ( my personal favorite ) , Eggplant Rollatini and many more. They all taste great. Great tasting Salad, Ice Cream, Expresso and Cappucino as well. Highly recommend them for any occasion. I will also recommend their restaurant ONE 6 THREE in New Haven as well. read more

I can not say enough about how fabulous this truck was! We had a recent party with Jack and team and everything was outstanding! I had chosen Old World three months again after reading reviews and studying other websites. What separates them from others are the gourmet nature of their food. This is not your typical pizza! Your foodie friends and relatives will be amazed at their offerings from Brussel sprouts, bacon and honey pizza to filet mignon and for dessert, peanut butter and jelly! The salad had cranberries and goat cheese and the ice cream and cappuccino and espresso were excellent! They even had decaf. We had people with allergies and they were willing to accommodate or even make a special pizza for someone. Their servers Allison and Hope were wonderful as they explained each pizza to the guests. Due to Covid, we wanted everything outside and we had added space between the servers and our guests. What I particularly liked was the size of the slices. They purposely cut them small so each guest could try one of perhaps twelve different kinds of pizza at a given time. They also boxed up the extra pieces and we have been enjoying them since! I was in touch with Janet before the party and she answered all of my questions promptly. Unfortunately the day of our party it rained ALL during the party. But Jack was able to set up the pizza table in one of our garage bays and there was an awning outside of the truck and with a few pop up tents that our bartender brought, the party went on without a hitch! They also presented us with a parting gift, a bottle of their own wine! I highly recommend and because they are booked way in advance, I would reserve ASAP. read more

Every year the place I work arranges for them to come and make us lunch. It's always a fun time, albeit a bit of a clusterf--- given that we have 200+ employees...although that should give you a sample of the breadth of their skill. Given the circumstances they have to work with, they do a great job! I LOVE LOVE LOVE their mashed potato pizza, and whatever they make with clams is also very good. I was disappointed though this year, I don't know if the old truck broke down, or now they have 2, but instead of the old fashioned antique truck, this year the truck had a modern International cab. read more

When my husband and I thought about what type of food we wanted at our wedding, we knew that pizza had to be one of the options. Living in New Haven means that you have a pizza preference, and when we found out that our favorite pizza place, 163, had a sister pizza truck, Old World Pizza Truck, we were immediately interested. From the beginning, Janet was responsive and helpful to our questions. On the day of the wedding, the truck arrived early and fired up their brick oven. Within minutes our guests could smell the fire and knew something delicious was coming our way. The guys on the truck created SO MANY amazing pizzas, and whenever one was empty, there was another immediately in its place. They made sure my husband had his favorite (the A & A special) done gluten free, and kept the favorites coming. When the night wound down, they boxed up all our leftovers, and when the wedding was over, we sat with our family eating cold pizza and still loving it. Many of our guests remarked that this was some of the best pizza (and most creative) that they had ever eaten; but we already knew this! Still, thanks Old World for living up to our expectations and giving us a fabulous meal. read more

Food truck brought great pizza to a party I went to, hard to give a fair review as I didn't have to pay anything. Our friend had to pay per person, and its hard to know how many people will really show up to any party. So I can't say much about the overall value. Pizza truck had a brick oven and cooked all the pizzas on site in the wood burning stove. Pizza variety was unreal, everything from the normal standards all good, to the specials like BBQ chicken & bacon, to the unusual like clam pizza, to the very rare filet mignon and potato pizza (my fav) and spagetti & bacon & meatball pizza, to the very bizarre peanut butter, jelly & bacon. Something for everyone I guarantee. Deserts were good, fresh homemade gelato 4 flavors and cappuccinos & espresso. They also played music. Best of all they clean up and leave you with nothing but leftover pizza. A real value to any big outdoor party. read more

Old World Pizza Truck delivered a fantastic party...from start to finish. The entire staff is super friendly. The pizza was delicious and plentiful...all our guests were full and pleased.

These guys are AWESOME! Great pies (and I'm a pizza snob). The truck is stylin' and the crust is thin. Tasty sauce, fresh ingredients. We had the Old World Pizza Truck at our private beach party and people were going back for thirds. Thank you, OWPT! Great job. read more

Old World Pizza Truck catered a party that we attended this part Saturday in Southbury, CT. They pulled the truck right into the driveway of the host, and served up dinner for about 30 people. The truck has a wood-fired oven inside of it, and the pizzas (New Haven-style pizza, thin but with a bready outer crust) were all made on-site. The pizzas offered ranged from traditional (cheese, pepperoni) to fancy (shrimp scampi, cauliflower cream) to whimsical (peanut butter, mashed potato) and were universally delicious. Special orders were offered for those with unusual food needs (like gluten-free). They also served gelato for dessert. The only downside to the night is the pizzas were not hot when served, for the most part, because they could only make 2 to 3 pizza at a time, and had to leave them out in the cool air while cooking more. But this is a minor thing, as the pizza was good warm or lukewarm and they would reheat any pieces if asked. I can't speak to cost, as I was a guest and not a host. Overall, highly recommended! read more

Old World Pizza Truck catered my sister's bridal shower. The staff was incredible. They were so friendly and accommodating. The pizza was DELICIOUS!

I am truly ecstatic about how everything turned out and would highly recommend them! read more

Old World Pizza catered our rehearsal dinner. Everyone was very pleased with the many options for pizzas as well as the tasty dessert and espresso/cappuccinos.

After the party multiple people asked for the pizza trucks contact information. We look forward to using Old World Pizza for our own future events. Also to note, they were very easy to book and super responsive. Thank you! read more

One week ago we had the pizza truck at out Graduation/Birthday with 74 Guests, The pizza was very good and the staff was pleasant. That being said the espresso machine was not working, one of the staff offered us a credit of $50, after paying just over $2300 with tax and tip I felt insulted and did not accept that. My guests and I were unhappy after I had told them there will be espresso and cappuccino. I sent the owners of the Old World Pizza Truck an email on Monday following the party stating the food and service was good but I was VERY UPSET! with the espresso situation and the insulting $50 off! THEY NEVER RESPONDED TO THE EMAIL!! I guess once they are paid they no longer care of the customer. read more

I had the chance to eat their pizza at the Run the Gauntlet obstacle course race. They gave 3 slices of pizza to each runner, which I thought was generous. The guys were awesome, just in general laughing and talking and having a good time while making all the pizza. It's refreshing to see people enjoy their jobs so much. Also the trucks were cool with the wood oven built in and the pizza was delish! read more

three words: supradeliciousness, tastefulnessness, and flavorocity. all of them are words I made up specifically to describe the otherworldly experience that was gorging myself on the pizza from the truck. the people that staff the Old World truck go out of their way to make your experience otherworldly. I can't emphasize enough how stellar of an experience this was. in summation, as I sit here, dining on this wondrous gelato dessert, basking in my slice of pastoral Americana. I harken back to those there words, taste, awesome, fun. the words that describe the taste of success. and the Old World Pizza Truck. read more

Our rehearsal dinner for our son's wedding at Boothe Park in Stratford - fantastic location - was a huge success and fun evening for our 65 guests thanks to the Old World Pizza Truck. Jack, Joe, and the servers not only made terrific pizzas and salad - and gelato and cappuccino - but they were so enjoyable in how they interacted with our family and friends. To talk about the pizzas: In a word, WOW! The combinations were both traditional and creative - and the way they served them in slices that were sized so you could try MANY made them even better. Loved how they worked with guests who had food allergies, too. We had heard from some friends who had other "pizza trucks" for their parties that they were disappointed because the process was slow and so few pizzas were out at a time. NOT the case with the Old World Pizza Truck! Our guests, 10 days later, are still raving about the party and the truck. So many have said that they wish the Old World Pizza Truck had a storefront /restaurant somewhere so they could have more of the pizzas! To Jack, Janet, and the Team: thank you for making a special event and weekend for our family even more special! Hope we get to do it again. read more

Old World Pizza Truck was so incredible! So delicious, and the staff was super friendly, accommodating and friendly! So many amazing toppings and our graduation party was a success thanks to Old World Pizza!! Thank you read more

Just had the pizza truck at my parent's house for my husband's 30th birthday party and I highly recommend them! Booking the pizza truck with Janet was extremely easy and she was always available to answer my questions. The day of the party everything was FANTASTIC! The pizza's were incredible. There were so many unique combinations, it kept my guests and I wanting to try more and more pizza. Jim and Jaime were an absolute blast to hang out with while they were making pizzas. Angela was a great server and having so much patience explaining all the pizzas to the guests. The crew took care of everything and made the party easy. Gelato and coffee were a great end to the pizza as well. I highly recommend Old World Pizza truck because it will make your life easier planning a party and guests will love it! read more
