EAT THIS IMMEDIATELY: Breads from Pitruco Pizza
Pretty much everything the Pitruco Pizza truck serves is ETI material, but there's something not on their regular menu that deserves your special attention. You don't need a password and a secret handshake to get your paws on the fresh-baked bread made by pizzamonger Nathan Winkler-Rhoades; just send the Pitruco guys a friendly email inquiring about the secret yeastables.
They've got focaccia and baguette in production at the moment, and your best bet is ordering ahead of time, as they stock bread on the truck only sporadically and it usually sells out fast. That's because said carb bombs are good — real good. The endearingly wonky focaccia comes blistered and golden, a chewy, buttery disc dressed with olive oil and sea salt. Their traditional baguette is slender, baked dark and crispy, with a malty touch and a little woody smoke flavor Pitruco-fying it.
"The focaccia is better," says Winkler-Rhoades, but for me, picking a favorite is Sophie's Choice tough. The best part is the price: Pitruco will charge you just $3 for one of each. Pay up and eat both immediately.
