JALOPY PIZZA
Jalopy Pizza serves handmade pizza from our wood fired oven, and when we say handmade, that’s what we mean. Our dough is made in our own pizza kitchen (not frozen dough balls delivered from a factory). Our tomato sauce is handmade in small batches to our own recipe, using Italian tomatoes (not pizza sauce out of a tin), and each pizza is hand rolled to order, not pushed through an electric rolling machine. We think that food made by humans tastes better.
One of the benefits of making everything by hand is that we require no electricity on board and make our on site pizzas entirely off grid. No noisy generators required. We are completely energy self-sufficient and can take our vans to places where others fear to tread.
Pizza as a street food has a long and illustrious history. Until about 1830 pizza was always sold from open-air stands, and it is a tradition that is still practiced in Italy today. Jalopy Pizza aim to continue that tradition here in the UK.
We love our French vintage Peugeot J7 vans, hauled over the channel and given a new lease of life. The custom of serving mobile pizzas is strong in France, particularly in the South. We take our van on a weekly route to different venues each evening, just like they do there. We are truly mobile and our many fans look forward to their weekly pizza fix.
Jalopy Pizza is a family business aiming to produce the best possible pizza at a sensible price for as many people as we can. We trade on unloved and forgotten corners of towns and villages and have been instrumental in regenerating at least one of these into a thriving commercial quarter
We view sustainability as a matter of course and pride ourselves on having a low environmental impact. Our ingredients are authentically Italian, and where possible, our fresh produce is sourced locally. We don’t claim to be food heroes, but strive to produce individual pizzas to order that taste nothing less than great.
Jalopy Pizza-
we think you can taste the difference.
