Marco’s Street Food
You may have seen our stall at local events, serving our spuntino (snack style) dishes. We can also provide our street food experience at your private event.
Pizzette
Pizzette is a converted 1975 Citroen HY van with a wood fired pizza oven in the back. She was sourced from France and imported to the UK for conversion.
Pizzette by definition is ‘small pizza’ and this is exactly what we serve. The sourdough is left to prove for 20 hours to ensure superior taste and texture and is then hand stretched in front of you, topped, and thrown in the oven.
Pizzette is made to order within 2 minutes with the oven reaching temperatures of around 450-500 degrees C.
You can find Pizzette at food festivals, music festivals and street food markets. She has become very popular for weddings and corporate events too. She can be booked for any private event; do keep her in mind.
Please ask a member of staff for more details or visit www.pizzette.co.uk to find out more.
