Growing up, Pizza Day was my favorite lunch at school. All that stretchy, cheesey goodness, piled on a chewy crust with random pieces of dry pepperoni on top. Why wouldn't I love it?

Tutta's has a large menu including traditional cheese, pepperoni or Italian sausage pizza, all in 8-inch, personal serving size. I have not yet tried the traditional flavors because I have consistently been drawn to their specialty, smoked meat pizzas.
The Smokey Pig has smoked pulled pork, Tutta's own barbecue sauce and a five cheese blend. I love this pizza! The crust is light but holds the pizza well. The meat had a nice, smokey flavor that is not too over-powering but still tastes like pork that came right off the smoker. The barbecue sauce blends right in, without being messy.
The Hot Chick is made with smoked chicken, bacon, chopped serrano peppers, cheese and Tutta's pizza sauce. This is also a great pizza. The chicken has full of flavor and the pizza sauce is spicy and flavorful but not too overpowering for the pizza. The biggest surprise is the "hot" taste. Every few bites you hit a serrano pepper piece and it becomes clear why this pizza is called the "hot" chick. It wasn't so frequent that it seemed like you were eating salsa but it was often enough to let you know that there are hot peppers in this pizza.
Tutta's has a full menu of pizza, both made smoked meat but others that are meatless like a Mediterranean pizza made with sun-dried tomatoes, artichokes and feta and the Gorgy Pear pizza with pears, pecans and truffle oil.
Tutta's also offers a dessert pie, apple pie stromboli. The stromboli comes out hot and is packed with apples, brown sugar, caramel and cinnamon. The crust is light and the filling is heavy, its the perfect dessert for a cold day!
I am so glad that Tutta's has brought their truck to the streets of DFW, especially since they are near my office several times a month. My only word of warning is to remember that this is custom made pizza, so it does take a few minutes longer to prepare than food from some of the other trucks. On my first visit, I had about an 8 minute wait, the second visit had a longer wait time, slightly over 15 minutes, which I was warned about before I ordered. The pizza was absolutely worth the wait and I appreciated being told in advance, but for those who frequent the trucks that prep the majority of their menu in advance, this one is a little different.
You can follow Tutta's on Facebook and Twitter and find out when they are bringing their grown-up gourmet pizza to your area. I think it will make pizza day your favorite day too!
