Pizza Vita

Something seems very dangerous about a wood-​fired pizza oven in a food truck, but their risk was my reward. These guys were sitting out front of Pier 13 in Hoboken when I was in the mood for some food. Among the 5 or so trucks lined up in front of the pier, they were the last ones open. This also meant they were only offering one option: plain cheese. Take it or leave it. I’ll take it. It might have been a 10 inch pie at best, but for $ 1/​inch, it was worth every bite. Very fresh. Left me wanting to try more of the menu and inspired to go check out their brick and mortar location in Summit.

tried the tony pepperoni was delicious and quick. the dough has a great texture just enough chew but quickly bites through. sopresata gave the right amount salt and sauce had the fresh sweetness of plum tomatoes. talk about a quick lunch, the pizza was made on the spot and done in 2 min. perfect when you are working through lunch, you get a bit of exercise and fresh air on your way to the truck and back at your desk before anyone misses you.

Awesome pizza!
I will get their pizza if I ever see the truck for next time for sure!

I live in Hoboken and love going to the pier for the pizza vita truck. Pizza is high quality and always on point. I have used them for my moms 60^th birthday party and they did an amazing job.

Good crust, nice sweet sauce, and friendly staff. I got the Plain Jane and enjoyed it, but it didn’t blow me away as the best pizza ever. Having a brick oven in a truck is an awesome concept, and the pizza is ready quickly (they say 90 seconds). My only suggestion would be to make the crust a little bit crispier, even if it means leaving the pizza in a little bit longer. Aside from that, the pizza was good and if the truck is in the area I’d get it again.

Excellent pizza. Crust is crispy yet chewy made in their wood burning oven. Breakfast pizza is by far my favorite.

I don’t get what people love about this pizza so much. I’ve had it 3 times on the pier in Hoboken and I was disappointed every time. (Disclaimer: the only reason I got it more than once is because I forgot that I had had it before.)
The wait is long, the pizza is soggy, the toppings usually just fall off. The crust is fine but nothing to write home about. As far as pizza goes, there are plenty of other much better options in NJ.

We had their pizza from the truck yesterday at a street fair. Talk about quick, tasty, fresh, and a perfect crust! I also had tacos from another truck that was dry & shall remain nameles. The tacos made me wish I had just ordered two pizzas.
I’ll have to make the drive to Summit when I’m in the mood for a pie when the truck is not around.

The pizza truck shows up to the Chatham and Summit farmers market (sat & sun mornings). Place your order and 90s later you have fresh hot goodness to enjoy.
We’ve tried only getting one pie (for breakfast) and ALWAYS go back for seconds.
It’s our (mine) favorite part of the farmers markets.

Pizza was pretty good! Im a pizza blogger in hoboken and I noticed he citied they are the only wood fired pizza in hoboken. I know grimaldis is coal, but if I’m not mistaken Dozzino on 6^th and Adams was the first wood fired there. Doesn’t make sense

Best. Pizza. Ever. I don’t know what else to say. It’s absolutely scrumptious. You hand over a $ 10 bill and in less than 2 minutes you’re handed the freshest, most delicious, mouth watering, cooked to perfection and not a second more, personal pizza that will make the long drive and hard to park area worth every second of driving around the block ad nauseum before finally going to a parking garage for twice the cost of the pizza. *breathe* It’s that good. (I got the Fun Guy).

Yummy and quick. They’re not lying when they say the pizza is ready in 90 seconds. Good selection of toppings. The dough is slightly rubbery, which is what’s preventing me from giving five stars, but the toppings and sauce are very good. I definitely recommend them. They can be found at the Chatham Farmers Market on Saturday’s and Summit Farmers Messenger on Sundays (New Jersey).

Can a pizzeria housed in a small, mobile truck really serve up better pizza than most brick and mortar locations? If that truck is Pizza Vita, the answer is yes.
Like most trucks, Pizza Vita’s menu is compact: maybe 6 — 8 different Neapolitan-​style pies, all personal-​size (12″), with a variety of toppings. The crust is chewy and good, and the sauce is plentiful, with a fresh (not cooked /​canned) taste. As you can see from others’ photos, the pies are topped with dollops of fresh mozzarella, and the toppings are high quality and really good. I’d be happy to eat one of these at a sit-​down place, and the fact that they can turn one out in just a few minutes from a truck is remarkable.
Some of the other Pier 13 trucks seem to levy an unspoken ‘location tax’: you get either smaller portions, or higher prices, or both, than you’d expect. Not Pizza Vita: for $ 10 – 12, you get a 12″ pie that’s plenty filling for one, and maybe even enough for two.
One of the best trucks and best deals on the pier, IMO.

Did you know that a pizza can go from a concept to a real, physical thing ready to go into your mouth in about 3 minutes? Well it can! These guys (whom I found at Pier 13 in Hoboken) make your pizza to order in just a few minutes. Dough + sauce + fresh cheese [+ optional additional toppings] + about 90 seconds in the wood-​fired oven = piping hot deliciousness! In about as much time as it would take you to get a boring bready sandwich at Subway or Jimmy Johns.
And yes, this all comes from a truck parked on a pier.
Minus half a star for only having one size (12″ – which I devoured by myself for lunch, but I was really hungry) and not having drinks, as far as I could tell, but I’m rounding up for a rare 5-​star-​er. (FYI, cash only.)

My whole family used to look forward to their personal pizza vita truck on a Sunday at the heights farmers market. Hopefully they will be at Hamilton park on weds! These guys have the best ingredients and Ernesto is a sweetie pie! Don’t let the tattoos fool you. Great product! Great service! We will forever be loyal to this awesome local business!

Excellent pizza, friendly service and served in just 90 SECONDS! Seeing the wood fire on a truck — not a trailer — is pretty cool.
We tried their Tony Pepperoni, which confusingly enough has no pepperoni but instead is topped with thin slices of excellent sopressata ($ 10). It’s a personal-​size pie, nice char on the bottom of the crust, perfect thickness and doughiness for me (this is not a cracker-​thin crust), just the right amount of sauce, altho ours was a little light on the mozzarella cheese.
These are extremely good pies, $ 10 is cheap compared to some markets, but twelve bucks for the breakfast pizza seemed unnecessarily spendy.
This Saturday morning the truck was at the Chatham farmer’s market. Wish they had an option to serve their pies on something like plates, instead of wasting a box for something I’m gonna eat on the park bench 10 feet away :)

A unique and perfect experience. We had the pizza truck at our home for my daughter’s Communion. over 80 guests were not only impressed but delighted by the quality and taste of the pizza’s. Ernesto and team scouted the location, were early, professional, and were the hit of the party. The best part? The pizza was delicious. Family and friends all took home pizzas and there were plenty for late night snacks.
Anyone can have a party at a restaurant or catered but a pizza truck in your driveway is the way to go.

When you take something so magical and have the ability to transport it, it becomes something even JC would say, «Me, this stuff is off the hook». So when I heard the best pizza ever was now mobile I thought, «Stop bsing me!».
Seriously folks this is the sh*t. When I was at the Summit Farmers Market there is was, the orange beacon of deliciousness.
After talking with the owner he basically disassembled a truck, mounted a brick oven that was shipped from Naples Italy (he isn’t playing games here people) and then put it back together. Pure brilliance!
Recommended: Breakfast pizza which is their ridiculous pizza topped with fresh mozzarella, Italian ham and an egg…
This is a must try… ENJOY!
*the truck is also going to be at Rutgers home games… something to make going to a Rutgers game worth while!*

Was in new jersey… visiting my family came here and try there pizza it was good and the guy was friendly…

Big fans of these guys in their Summit location. But, in my opinion, the truck is even better. The pizza cooks perfectly crisp from the truck. Smaller slightly different oven and for my taste, cooks a little better. They are in Jersey City famers markets, Hoboken near Sinatra park, and now have even moved into NYC. I have had them many times at their hometown Summit famers market. BREAKFAST PIZZA is to die for. Breakfast for champs on Sunday mornings… Margherita with sunny side egg and crisp soppresata… OMG
The truck is a genius invention and one of a kind. Who would think to put a 3500lb wood fired oven in a truck? Can’t believe nobody has posted about them… Happy to be the first!
