Swampy Vale Farm Pizza (Alexandria, NJ)

MARGHERITA (fresh mozzarella, tomato sauce, w. basil, EVOO) ∙ PEPPERONI (fresh mozzarella, tomato sauce, pepperoni, garlic)

Beneduce Vineyards has such a cool vibe. Obviously wineries are really pretty, but Beneduce also features a stage with live music. What’s better than musical acts performing while you imbibe on fine crushed grapes? Now, add pizza into the equation. Not a pizza truck, but an oven sitting on a trailer hitch. Isn’t that awesome? The winery opens at 5. Around 7:30 (what I thought was early) I walked over to order a couple of pies. The kind lady laughed and said “you showed up just in time, we have 4 doughs left!” They arrived to the winery with 200. Talk about popular pies.

Margherita & Diavola

I’ll admit, I had my fair share of crushed grapes before eating. I don’t have the best recollection of the pizza highlights. But hey, the pizza was pretty and hit the spot!! A cool concept, riding around with a brick oven on a trailer hitch. The people who worked there were so friendly – they entertained me when I said I was going to write about them. Love me some Swampy Vale!


Taste of Napoli (Lebanon, NJ)

MARGHERITA (san marzano tomato, fior di latte mozzarella, parmigiano reggiano, basil, evoo)

While visiting friends in NJ, we met the Taste of Napoli truck at a food truck festival in Lebanon, NJ. Big flavor driving around in this small town. We started with lobster rolls from Cousin’s Maine Lobster. We should have just continued to scarf down those delicious $20 lobster rolls. That said, you know we had to try out the pizza when we saw the truck. I’m really glad we did.

Margherita

It’s my first time ordering from a truck with a huge brick oven in the back of their prep station on wheels. They didn’t cook it too much, I thought it could’ve stayed in a few more seconds and turned once more. I think they were using shredded cheese as it covered the pie as opposed to drops. The sauce wasn’t much of an impact, but they provided enough! Stay saucy, my friends. This NJ Neapolitan pizza truck definitely pleased!
