Comments from Inspira Senior VP: The staff loved it. The vendor even made sandwiches & waffles brought them to OR staff that couldn’t get to the truck. They came from Morris County in north jersey. Very pleasant & accommodating. Please let them know of the great service

Pizza was very good. Not too much cheese or sauce. Good crust. Dough wasnt soft and chewy or hard and crispy, but right in the middle. Gentlemen working the food truck were nice and professional. Service was faster than expected. Exactly what I look for from any food truck. Will be returning and will be recommending people to try out this food truck.

District Small Bites staff was on time, professional and personable. The food was a hit for our End of Summer Employee Appreciation Event. Everyone that tasted the food had nothing but good things to say. Our valued team members enjoyed the food. We hope to find the opportunity to do another event in the future.
