Meet Pizza Luca
With a long operating history, Pizza Luca is the largest pizza food truck company in the tri-state area. Pizza Luca was born from our strong love of Italian cooking and tradition. Since the company’s beginning in 2010, we’ve become a loyal friend to new and longtime customers.
Our premier pizza trucks are available for private engagements throughout the five New York City boroughs and New Jersey, Connecticut, Westchester, and Long Island. They’re celebrated for offering full-scale, wood-oven classics for private and corporate events. From pizzas to passed appetizers, inviting platters and boards, Chef Dean always delivers on his authentic Italian promise. Our capabilities are available throughout the tri-state area, so you can indulge in the unique Pizza Luca experience wherever you are, whenever you please.
Authentic Neapolitan Pizza Made By Hand
We follow all the guidelines for creating true, authentic Neapolitan pizza set by the Associazione Vera Pizza Napoletana (the association of true Neapolitan pizza) to ensure that every pie we make meets strict quality and authenticity requirements. This includes traditional techniques and equipment, and specialty ingredients.
As part of our commitment to excellence, we use efficient, aromatic hardwoods in our pizza truck-mounted Napoletan-style ovens to impart a unique, delicate flavor. Each pizza is made to order by hand, then cooked for 90 seconds in our 900-degree oven to create the perfect raised-edge crust, thin center, and authentic texture and taste other cooking methods can’t replicate.
The Pizza Luca Difference
Our premier pizza trucks are available for private catering engagements throughout the five New York City boroughs and Westchester County, Connecticut, New Jersey and Long Island.
Our specialized menu consists of traditional Neapolitan pizzas, and to supplement that, we can also create a custom-crafted menu of beverages, antipasti, and dessert. Visit our catering page to learn how you can give your guests a unique Italian pizza experience at your next event.
Dean Medico
Dean Medico, the pizzaiolo, learned the art of French and Italian cooking at The French Culinary Institute and the Italian Culinary Academy. In 2011 — inspired by Naples, D.O.P. San Marzano tomatoes, Caputo 00 flour, and buffala milk mozzarella — Dean took pizza Napoletana on the road from the wheels of a 1952 Chevy flatbed truck.
Dean’s goal has always been to re-educate people on pizza. Pizza Luca is not the local commercial pizzeria on every corner; pizza has an origin in Italy, and it’s an art. Dean takes his craft seriously, which is why Pizza Luca is named after his first born son. If that’s not love, we don’t know what is.
