Hot Truck

From CUWiki

The Hot Truck is a food truck on West Campus that was started in 1960. The name came from owner Bob Petrillose's desire to differentiate himself from the Louie's Lunch, another food truck, which is now located on North Campus. Unlike Louie's which serves a wide variety of edibles, The Hot Truck sells just one item: pizza subs. The pizzas are served on French bread, and are called PMPs (or "Poor Man's Pizzas") Over the years, the variety of pizzas has expanded with complete dictionary of combinations (of varying peculiarity) created by students, such as the "North Baker", which has garlic, mozzarella, pizza sauce, mustard, lettuce, and sour cream & onion potato chips. The Hot Truck is now owned by Shortstop Deli, which also serves its subs.

The Hot Truck has achieved a certain degree of fame and notoriety and has even been featured in Gourmet Magazine.

Current hours are Thursday through Saturday nights, 9pm to about 3am.
