Food Truck February!

“Food Truck February”

By K. Ross

How’s February treating you? Are you over winter yet?  With the snow this week, I am definitely counting down the days to spring.  I saw a post the other day that said “only 5 more Monday’s till Spring!” I can’t wait!  While we were waiting for spring, I have couple more that food trucks that will for sure warm you up.

This week I’ll start with River City Wood Fire Pizza. (Warmth is in its name!)  This truck has been around Richmond for quite some time.  I’m sure you have seen them around town, especially at all the local breweries.  What I love about this truck besides its pizza, is that they are soooo good and soooo popular that they opened their first store front about a year ago.  This is every food trucker’s dream! Now back to the food.  The “Little Italy,” this pizza is a classic margherita.  This pizza puts the “class” is classic.  From the sauce, to the tomatoes, to the cheese…simply perfection.  And take it from a full-blooded Italian, this pizza is super yummy…just close your eyes and you’ll think you’re in Italy!  My next “must try” is the “Angry Zinski.”  This is your not so traditional pepperoni pizza.  This pizza has all our favorites from the “Little Italy,” but with an enormous amount of char pepperoni, topped with their “El Machete.”  “El Machete” is their house-made hot honey.  If this pizza “joint” makes their own honey, you can’t deny how amazing they are!  (Who makes their own honey, right?!). But please keep in mind, it’s a bit spicy…just like them!

Next on the list is Waffles on Wheels RVA.  Can you guess what they serve?!  You guessed right…Waffles!  It’s time to satisfy those sweet cravings.  This truck shows that waffles are not just for breakfast.  My favorite is their “Roubaix Waffle.”  This waffle comes with marshmallow spread, graham cracker crumbles, and topped with a drizzle of chocolate syrup.  Are you grabbing your snow boots and running out the door? I am!  If this waffle doesn’t tickle your fancy…don’t worry, they have a “build your own” waffle. That’s right, you can add all of your favorite toppings to your waffle, or if you want to keep simple, you can get a waffle with some whipped cream. Either way, it’s yummy!  And if want a little extra warming up, they have hot cocoa and COFFEE…that’s right, COFFEE!  This truck brings the spirit of Belgium to Richmond, VA!
