Not so much liquid for the sausage sandwiches. The roll gets soggy and you can't pick it up without it falling apart everything had great taste!

My order was ready and the chicken melt flavor was great! The cheese could have been more melty, but it was great

The best food I've had from a food truck. One of the few to actually get the seasoning ON the chicken.

Absolutely delicious. I grew up with a pizza place on every corner in New Jersey. I prefer slightly more red sauce on my pizza. Overall the pizza was refreshing compared to the local options and this is probably just a personal preference. The crust, cheese and crisp on the edge of the pepperoni is just perfect! Come back soon!

We've ordered from this food truck before. The portion size is great for the price and is great! I don't believe I've had better pizza in the Wesley Chapel area. We're always excited when this truck comes to Avalon!
