Little Italy Pizza Truck is a wood-fired pizza truck that opened in East Haven, Connecticut in…read moreAugust 2021. It was founded by pizzaiolo Luigi Bernardo Jr. The Bernardo Family plays a large role in Greater New Haven's rich pizza history. Family patriarch Luigi "Gigi" Bernardo immigrated to New Haven from Naples, Italy in the 1960s. In 1974, Gigi opened his own business "Gigi's Bakery" on Chapel Street where he made baked goods and pizza. The family moved the business to Grand Avenue in 1982 and they continued to operate it until Gigi's retirement in 2001. He passed away in 2009. Gigi passed down his culinary talents to his seven children (including sons Luigi Jr, Frank, and Arsenio who all became pizzaioli). Frank runs the New Haven Pizza Truck while Arsenio runs the New Haven Pizza Place. Luigi Jr continued his late father's legacy when he started his own pizza truck business dubbed "Little Italy". The truck travels around Southern Connecticut to craft delicious wood-fired pizza pies at wineries, breweries and festivals. My family and I recently tried some of Little Italy's delicious pies when we visited Rosabianca Vineyards in Northford. The winery frequently hosts pizza trucks and other food trucks on the weekends. My wife and I had previously eaten Bernardo Family-created pizzas from the New Haven Pizza Truck and New Haven Pizza Place. We were excited to try Little Italy's offerings. After looking over their menu, we decided to order and share the "Margherita" (white fresh tomato, basil and garlic) and the "Mashed Potato Bacon" (with caramelized onion). The Margherita was more of an American-style Margherita versus a Traditional Neapolitan-style Margherita, but still very good. The real star for us was the Mashed Potato Pie! The mashed potatoes had a perfect texture and the bacon and onions were so flavorful. It was perfect! Both pies had excellent crust and they paired well with our wine. We really enjoyed our experience with Little Italy and we hope to see them again!

Jackie's Pizza The Pie is an artisanal wood-fired pizza truck based in Durham, Connecticut that has…read morebeen running since March 2021. It was founded by Jaclyn Roche. Jackie had originally been part of the team that ran 'Big Green Truck Pizza': a New Haven-based fleet of green mobile wood-fired pizza trucks that was founded by Doug Coffin in 2003. After a number of successful years, Jackie left the operation and decided to start her own pizza truck business. Her new ride is a custom-built 1948 International Harvester Pickup that's been fitted with a Mugnaini wood-burning brick oven. Operating between April and November, Jackie and her truck can be spotted slinging New Haven-style pizza pies all throughout Connecticut, Massachusetts and New York. The truck can be spotted at a number of local wineries and breweries as well as private events such as birthday parties and religious celebrations. My family and I recently tried some delicious pizza from Jackie's Pizza The Pie. We were visiting Brignole Vineyards in East Granby for the first time and Jackie's truck was the scheduled food truck that day. Although we were excited to try Brignole's wines, we were even more excited to sample Jackie's pizza. We've had the truck on our radar for a while and knew that they visit Brignole Vineyards often. I even messaged Jackie ahead of time just to make sure that the truck would definitely be there on the day of our visit. I chatted with Jackie and her staff for a few minutes and they were all very friendly. After looking over the menu, my family and I decided to order a "Half Cheese/Half Fresh Tomato Basil" and a "Half Pepperoni/Half Buffalo Chicken". We enjoyed every pizza combo that we tried and they paired well with our wine flights. The crust was chewy with a nice amount of char around the edges, the sauce was excellent, and the toppings tasted very fresh. We really enjoyed our experience with Jackie's Pizza The Pie and we hope to run into the truck again in the future!

After finally stopping in, I can say it definitely delivers on classic pizza shop comfort food. The menu has all the staples (pizza, pasta, garlic knots, grinders), and the standout for me was the fried mozzarella. The cheese pull was impressive! Everything was made fresh and quick, making it a great spot for a grab and go lunch and dinner (especially with their pizza slices ready to go).

1.13.26 Had a recommendation from earlier in the day so I…read moredecided to stop by last night. I was told they were inexpensive but they really weren't. I spoke to the owner who was making/cooking the pizzas. He said they opened 5 weeks ago. I wished him the best of luck. He was so nice. Pretty loud on the phone and in person. Large personality. Not a bad thing. The place is on the smaller side. Handful of tables. They seem to be big on take out. They were busy for 9:00 on a Monday night. It's your basic pizza spot vibe with a large screen TV on the wall. A small cheese pizza, meatball parm grinder and a 20 Oz. soda was $32.00 They are currently running a special with 2 large one topping pizzas & a 2 liter soda for $30.00. Now that is a good deal, but what am I going to do with two large pizzas? Well, if you visit, we'll find out. The pizza cheese and sauce were very good but the jury is out on the dough. Their dough definitely needs some work. Kind of plain/bland in my opinion. I'm sure he doesn't want to hear that, so I won't share it with him when I go back because I will definitely be back. Almost stopped back in tonight for their awesome meatball parm grinder. It was so wet, saucy & cheesy. The bread toast was magnificent. Please check my pic. You'll see. It was close to divine. So good. The meatball parm was very large and half was more than enough for me. Again, it was very saucy, wet & very cheesy and the bread held up very well. They didn't skimp there. Time will tell, but I'm feeling that they will do well here. The service was fairly fast. They had my items ready pretty quick after I called in my order. I only waited a couple minutes for the grinder. They just finished making it. Hot fresh and very good meatballs. Plenty of parking in the lot. Small to mid size lot and some spots right out the front door. They have specials and Catering also he told me about and gave me a flyer. I'll post when I find the pic.

I've never had anything catered from here, but based on my…read morelunch experiences, I'm willing to go out on a limb and say that whatever you get catered would be very good, too. Cusano Catering does your traditional Italian favorites, and at lunch they have a variety of sandwiches and salads to choose from, plus a few specials. The specials are written on a whiteboard, and samples of each dish are also neatly and adorably displayed in a glass case on the counter. (The baked chicken special yesterday looked really good.) I've only gotten lunch to go, but there's a cute counter to sit at and a few small tables in the dining area. There appears to be a lot of regulars at lunchtime, which makes sense because the staff is very warm and welcoming, and it feels like the food is made and served with love. In terms of sandwiches, everything I've had has been very good. The eggplant parm and meatball subs are quality, and cold cuts are sliced fresh when you order. I'm a big fan of the Italian combo. The salads at the counter all look great, and one day I might treat myself to a dessert (they have a number of baked goods and also different flavors of gelato). I got a fruit salad yesterday to go with my sub, and it was very fresh and delicious. This place is cash only, and parking is a little tight - just a few spaces in back. I work within a reasonable walking distance, so when it's nice out, and I have cash on me, I'm willing to make the walk over.
