Neapolitan-style pizza will soon go mobile in Philly
Pitruco is the name of the mobile pizza operation friends and Philly natives Nathan Winkler-Rhoades, Jonah Fligelman and Eric Hilkowitz hope to roll out onto our streets by late September.
Neapolitan-style pizza will soon go mobile in Philly
Pitruco is the name of the mobile pizza operation friends and Philly natives Nathan Winkler-Rhoades, Jonah Fligelman and Eric Hilkowitz hope to roll out onto our streets by late September.
Hilkowitz, who currently works for The Food Trust, says they're aiming for sidewalk space at 35th and Market and potentially at LOVE Park for their business, a pickup truck-led pizza trailer outfitted with a fully functional wood-fired oven (picture it taking up the righthand portion of the framework above). Winkler-Rhoades, who's currently working on a PhD at Harvard, is the pizza guy; he's earned some press up in Mass for building backyard pizza ovens out of clay.
For a better idea of Pitruco's style, browse the photos from a recent test bake — Winkler-Rhoades floats proposed varieties like the standard Neapolitan marinara and margherita, plus pies with sausage (Fiorella's, mushroom, caramelized onion, pecorino bechamel), roasted eggplant (hot and sweet peppers, ricotta) and braised radicchio (garlic, mozz, parm, mushrooms, balsamic).
