- Have you ever wanted to own a food truck? We got a behind the scenes look on PizzaMi which started just a month ago. They mentioned for their very first event they were thinking about canceling but they powered through to a $20,000 sales month. Great lessons, great people and most importantly great pizza!

I really liked this interview. These two deserve EVERY win they get out of this, checking off all boxes, no excuses, determined, putting the work in. The best part?
"We had help from others to get to this point...and we appreciate it"
I don't hear that a lot from small biz entrepreneurs these days.
They wake up daily with a rinkydink hustle like they're Tony Montana kingpins, saying ridiculous phrases like "I got it out the mud 🤡"...and wonder why those that did lend a hand are offended to the point of cutting them off and blackball whispering later.
I started out as one over 25yrs ago and the one thing that kept me in the network to the point where I can now be a pillar to others coming in is RESPECT for those who aided and assisted where they really didn't have to bother. Next step is reciprocation as the level goes up and I have no doubt they've already put some if not all of the equity back.
One of the best vids I've seen so far in 2023.
Do they have to pay for conducting business at the location where they park? Are they required by law to pay the landowner or event organizer? Or, because it's just a car, do they not have to share their profits with big event organizers, parks, government, companies, or private landowners, or seek permission to park in a particular location?
NO NO NO, don't open a Brick/Mortar store.. Put a 2nd truck on the road. You dont wanna deal w leases, rents, crime, landlords, ect.....
A 2nd, 3rd Truck will blow you up. Gives you options. Id add a money maker on the truck that is premade, ready, ect.. Id have to think on it..
BUT NO BRICK/MORTAR A home made IceT/Lemonade/Half;Half premade to pour.
Great idea and love the truck...
Totally agree !
EXACTLY.... I had a little cafe and I would do a Food Truck again... not a Brick/Mortar.
Hi, late to the party here. I just wanted to drop in and say these folks are the real deal. I'm a local and I absolutely love their work. If you're somehow still stumbling across this and in the area, it is absolutely worth searching them out. Hope for a brick and mortar in their future!
Wishing them luck 🍀. Thanks for the channel. Love the topic.
Great interview guys, love the truck and pizza looks great. One thing I would like to see, my fireman hat on, is to move the fire extinguisher closer to the exit of the truck. Right now it's near the most likely fire source which means it would be risky to reach for it in the event of a fire.

Hello from Wayne county! Good luck with your pizza truck! My friend and I are starting one in Milano Italy this coming January
Add pictures of pizzas on the truck! Great visual advertising.
Simply Beautiful!
Huge fan of Artisan style pizza of locally sourced ingredients.
I love this , definitely a dream that i am walkign towards achieving. One side note though, ive been workin with pizza for a very long time and i noticed almost every pie in this video was undercooked.. it seems like you are using a high hidration dough for Napolitan style pizza. Try leaving it in for 2 more minutes or lower the hidration % and check dough temps to prevent from over poofing.. You have a kick ass oven , the dough shouldn't be coming out under cooked. Ultimately if you're positive that it is fully cooked and its still colourless you can add diastatic malt powder to brown the dough , which is what most bakeries use.
Looking forward to seeing these guys succeed like mad.
Just roll the dice! your hard work will pay off!!!
Sell $5 cheese and pepperoni (no other topping by the slice) pizza by the slice like in NYC, they sell like crazy. That turns your $15 pizza into a $20 pizza (4 slices x $5 = $20)
You need to double your cold storage for dough. No joke. Dough is cheap and high profit margin, don't run out at events.

Usually events will charge an up front fee to rent out the space for the food truck
Great insights, thanks for putting it together!
this lifts my spirits....Good job!!!!
If pizzami sees this theres also a very lucrative way to make money regarding your business and Ive mentioned this to other food trucks but theyd rather grind selling food. I'll give you a quick hint, if you document every part of your business you can actually package and sell "how to start your own pizza truck for $25k". Ive sold $300k in digital education for start ups and its very fun to sell something you recorded once 1000 times for $100.
Lucrative, but at what cost.
How does one get into it, where do you sell?
You have the mind of a scammer only worried about how you can make money from something. These people are completely new to pizza making and food truck business and you think they should be selling a how-to guide.
Wish you all the best incredible video love it !
6 days a week selling 75 pizzas out of that oven and that refrigeration? I’m calling this baloney. I own two food trucks. There’s no way that that little truck is selling 70 pizzas a shift with that oven.
Totally agree with you..to sell 40 pizzas in a hour they baked for 1.5 minutes, that’s not right.
I love that Pizza Master yall have on bored pizzas look amazing!
I learned so much from this! Loved this format.
your pizzas are GORGEOUS!
very happy for you . stay small . now we all wanted to know , electric oven, great but .
what is the consumption per hour for your diesel generator in general ??????? cost per day ???? thanks
I sold radio advertising for years in GR. The local radio stations have so many remotes and events year round. You should reach out to them. We would do things like "Jock in a Box" where DJ's would live in a storage container while collecting for a food drive in celebration cinema or meijer parking lot. You guys could set up, provide food for the DJ's in trade for mentions during the event. Just a thought. Good job though guys!

I love your truck! What a great idea 💚 just a word of encouragement.... Teagan needs to act like she's enjoying herself. Standing there looking like she's pissed off during this interview doesn't make me want to purchase their products. But overall a great execution of your food truck.
I didn't put it together at first.....the sixth street bridge......the mention of Michigan heat.....and I was like....sounds like they're in GR!.....looked up the website.......yup!! Good to see young folk from my hometown getting after it and succeeding!! Next time I'm back up there for a visit with family and friends, I will most definitely look you guys up!!
They relocated to Compton.
Fantastic! The name of the truck is clumsy though. From far away, it doesn't look like a food truck, let alone a open for business pizza truck(which would boost sales).
It looks great, but perhaps if they added something red into the logo or a pizza, for the subconscious mind.
Excellent interview!
You need more oil in the pesto, and if you add a little more sugar to the dough it will have a better color.
would have been nice for the van price. not sure what the big secret is, but for each is own
Would it be possible to have some wet woodchips in a dish on the bottom of the oven to mimic the wood fired oven taste?
I'm trying to imagine standing in front of a pizza oven in a van in August.
EXACTLY....
Here in New Mexico (US) today will be 105*
I usually SEE the Pizza Oven off the BACK outside... built into the WALL but the actual Oven is outside so the heat is Outside the Food Truck.

Amazing story, good for you! Can you share a bit where you found the truck, I would like one. Thank you .
Pizza's look so good! That crust
Your video was very helpful. What was that funding you was saying again called.
without knowing you are already applying some lean management principles e.g. reducing waste items like movements of steps/hand-movements/material movements by adapting the layout and placement of items - continue this path step by step and improvements will reduce your KPI time/pizza "exponentially"
Great vid ! What is the name of the company that outdfitted your your van in Jacksonville?
Amazing video and great people
Pizza needs better crust color/browning. It could be one or a few things things...But from the video it seems the bake time is too short. If anyone else is attempting something similar, an Ooni or a Gozney oven will be much less expensive and you can use multiple ovens at a fraction of the cost.
It’s not the his oven that’s the issue. It’s the user. They have a Pizza Master which is way better than Ooni or Gozney
Sometimes, if the dough sits too long, the yeast can eat up all the sugar in the dough and it won’t brown. Maybe thats the issue.
@@BboyRacingnot the issue with the style they are making it’s the time in oven it’s too little
@@LODVM an authentic pizza should cook in 1-2 minutes, they just need to up the temp to 800+
@@injecthd5252 correct for Neapolitan pizza but the guy was talking about sugars which don’t go into Neapolitan doughs
Hello friends, thanks for sharing one thing for sure, after watching your video I have to order pizza, am in ND thanks again am going to enjoy my pizza 🍕 take care best regards!
Remember… how many pizza you can produce during peak meal times determines how much revenue you will generate. Figure out how much revenue you need to be successful then you will know how many pizzas you have to make during dinner rush….hope you have enough oven space
Nice, good luck!🎉
What I heard was, they're figuring it out as they go 🤣
And that's the reality for most businesses
As a person who came verrrrry close to getting my own food trailer, I applaud these 2 and wish them the best! That being said...I have done extensive research and I am still studying about the mobile food industry but I have to say that I see A LOT of red flags here!
1st and as others have mentioned, those pies need to be cooked more. 2nd. No offense intended but that logo (which likely had a lot of thought put into it) is just terrible and disadvantageous to selling pizza. Think about putting a graphic or image of your best pizza ALL over the van or there are also wraps you can design yourself for the whole van.
idk I like the logo a lot
I agree with the logo. It resembles a gardening company. Your suggestion is constructive and correct. Hire a good designer to create an image that, together with the aroma of the pizzas, makes it impossible not to want to eat one of their pizzas.
Cool pizza cool vid, truck people, cool 😎 Try a big slice on the roof you can remove to drive. Then get another oven and crank the heat up a couple of degrees 😋 Beautiful Ingredients!
Also just a thought, get some windows and/or skylights in that puppy.
Just constructive. Love your work keep slinging pizza 🫨🤸☺️😋😎

You can tell she's the Master Pizza Chef, and between them both is Perfection. Well done Guys
I would move that fire extinguisher away from where a fire would happen to be so you have access to it and not have to go through a fire area to grab it.
can you talk about the real problems you came across ie: taxes, permits and stuff like that? Thanks and good luck!
Keep it up guys🍕🍕
Cook the pizza with the screen. You will see a big difference, keep it up 🎉🎉🎉
Thank you to PizzaMi for doing the interview! Their pizza is amazing!

Hi I'm here in the Detroit area, I was wondering where you got your truck from?
Very inspiring as I’m trying to open my own place at the end of the month 💀

yes , add pictures of your pizzas on your truck , that way customers know what the pizza looks like, of that kind.

He talks the whole way through and finally she gets to talk at 16:50...
Are you equal owners of this Food Truck... ???
Or is this Food Truck just His and she works for you?
Please correct me if I'm wrong...
AND...
PLEASE Put a Picture of PIZZA on ALL Sides of the Food Truck...
Green Leaves doesn't tell me this is a Pizza Food Truck.
People LOOK at Pictures not words
I Think you both have a great concept and are doing GREAT...
Show don't Tell...
Show us a or many kinds of PIZZAs on your Food Truck.... not GREEN Leaves
At first I thought you were selling TEA...
EXCELLENT VIDEO
Thank you for sharing.
Weird
U sound like a karen
Blaze on kids! Good Job!
Anyway you look at this, sales (gross vs net) , initial capital expenses, costs of foods & operating, etc etc. It's not anything easy, some weeks you don't even pay yourself for working 6 days.....
Time, creativity and most importantly, capital. The reason so many ppl fail to ever start their own business is because of startup costs. With better public investment,this hindrance could be reduced and more people could open their own small businesses.
Food truck regulations also need to be severely scaled back. It's ridiculous.
They should combine their bussiness with internet delivery. Their sells will be bigger. Should conteplate electric cargo bicycle (or simple trailer) as a platform for another "foodtruck". BTW, when you have the ingredience source(s) secured, you should offer franchising.
you have no idea what you're talking about
This is tight.
I will need to hit them up when in GR next time
Great interview! Questions-
What model van do they have?
What type of pizza oven?
Their van looks like a Ford Transit 250 high roof. Same van a lot of Amazon delivery drivers use.
I'm not certain on the oven, but it looks like a PizzaMaster PM401ED-1.

Where can I get a truck like that?
How about a picture of pizza instead of a leaf on the truck 😅
Need to add color and pizza slice picture on the brand
And if there’s colleges in your town I’d get a permit to go sit there as well cause you’d make a ton of pizza at colleges universities not just bars and other liquor-based places.. I’d put flyers at universities and colleges because kids want affordable food and your food looks great so you’d win every which way I check out University Inn colleges and go sit there as well not just in one specific spot
If I see ya around, I'll try you out...😊
What are the five best pizza flours and which one of them do you use ?? I hope you use the best . The first letter begins with the letter C !!! OK make me proud !!
They’re doing it Right just a real Italian Made Pizza Forno and it’s game over it’s would give their pies the edge the Pizza needs
how much kostet this food truck?
Heads up 14:30 is raw pizza dough may want to cook longer 😅
Every pizza I saw served in this video looked undercooked
Cooking pizza is something of an art. I don't know how it's done in an electric oven but I use a gas-fired oven. Gets done - perfect leopard-spotting, crisp buttom - in 90 to 120 seconds. But you have be very attentive to it. Do not be distracted.
@@ollieox9181 Yep, they need to get more heat into them for the spotting... maybe they were simulating Rocky, they could punch the dough down with boxing gloves to flatted them out, and call it eye of the tiger instead.
I cook my pizza in 7 minutes, because I want my dough to get crusty. Love thin and crispy.❤
What's ovens are you using if you don't mind me asking
Whats the model of the pizza oven they are using? Looks like a countertop
They mentioned it in the video like 30 times.
@@williamboyle8918 the actual model number?
Do you guys have a home kitchen
If only they could fit a Mallagutti oven in that van. It could be Naples on wheels. They should invest in a trailer 😂
why pay almost 20k for an oven when my family builds them for half the price.
@@user-jg3xl6mh7o more like 40 - 60k lol.
Restaurants have to use approved sources that are licensed/certified and have to jump thru lots of hoops of inspections and paperwork.
Soooo my friend calls me and says, "Yo, Beachside Baker Bobby, You want to buy my pizza trailer". Next day, I bought a Triple Decker Conveyour oven pizza trailer. He sold his, Stoners Pizza Joint franchise and had the trailer left over! I am in Daytona Beach, and we are calling ourselves , Stoner Zone Munchies... Yep... 420 Hibbie Vibe... PeAcE
how much was your oven and how wide is it inside ? ty great lookin van bro
He says the price in the video.
7000 . I would have used a wood fired Grozny . I would have riigged it so it slided outside of the truck
@@FredMas-gt2uh I would have used the Grozny 9910-C134.564-001. Best model available.
Which model # of pizza master thx 👍🏻
It’s a PM 451-1
Need pics on your food truck. Not just on yelp or google etc. My wife’s family owns Thai food carts. You would be surprised how many customers will pass up a food cart with out food pics posted.
try incorporating chopped hot peppers into the dough. great job, and I'm sure you'll both be successful, together! buona fortuna. I hate the noisy generators some food trucks run, so if you can avoid that??? Like some add-on sound panels! Why not use a cool-lookin' small trailer, too, for extra stuff & generator? How's the overnight secure parking situation for the vehicle & equipment? No problems?? yeah...buona fortuna ! :-) Calzone is my favorite.
Lol... Notice how they want everything in the vehicle to be electric so that they appear environmentally friendly... Except that generator which powers all that electricity is a diesel engine.... Lmao
Did they say how much the truck was?
They avoided mentioning the price.
What size are the pizzas? 10? 12 inch?
35ft
Churches have events too
Exactly! they should do communion pizza too, and the size of a dollar coin...
i couldnt help but keep thinking he had a cheetos thumb
You need to bake a little more your pizzas … tip of a chef
Is that Cheryl Hines daughter? 😂
Why the leafs….basil?
👍👍
What is the pizza maker oven
Pizza master. They are 10k+ even for the small ones
PizzaMaster 80 different models
👍👍❤❤❤
What state are you located
Michigan
Urban gardening- lease peoples back yards
He gotta toss the dough without gloves
Michigan Heat lol ok bud
has segment titled "how much the van costs'.... have almost no information regarding the cost of the van.
*eyeroll*
We try to get as much info as possible. Some businesses share certain things and some don't.
Ouch. $17 for a tiny pizza, I would need 4 to fill me up. $68 meal 😵
Ozempic for you 😂
They have to charge $17 to make any money. I don't believe they are making $20,000 a month. They only have one oven, one warmer, and 7 pizza racks. At max, they can make 6 pizzas an hour or 60 for 10 hour day. Most likely they are only selling half of that or 30 pizza and making $410 a day on a good day. If they sold for less, it wouldn't be worth the time.
However, at $17 for a small pizza, you are going to have a hard time finding customers. You will be out driving all the high end office buildings where most of this type of customer will be found. With a low customer base and all the driving, they probably sell only 20 pizzas a day. So $340/day x 20 days = $6800/month
The supplies are likely $1000/month. The van depreciation is $1000/month and Equipment about $500/month and taxes another $800/month. They are probably bringing in around $3000/month or $360000/year. Which is like $45,000 gross for a normal job. And that is between 2 people working that full time.
@@kevinerose Yeah this whole story doesn't pass the sniff test.
Why do you need to eat FOUR pizza’s…you sound super greedy.
4 of those pizzas ... How BIG are you?
Those are not little pizza...
I would not brag that you can eat 4 of them...
Great interview. Sadly the pizza it self looks lack luster. Dough looks underfermented and kinda bland. But i love the idea.
14:30 that pizza needed at least another minute in the oven. Your electric oven can reach 800 degrees, no excuses.
Where is your location?
