When the chef behind the most buzz-worthy restaurant opening of 2016 steps inside one of the city’s top food trucks, you just know the result is gonna be good. Phil Scarfone of Nightingale (the latest venture from David Hawksworth) will be manning the brick oven inside Via Tevere Express for one night only on September 13. Unlike the brick-and-mortar Via Tevere pizzeria on Victoria Drive, this food truck specializes in wood-fired paninis stuffed with Italian meats, melted cheese and fresh veggies all served on a blistered, crunchy bun reminiscent of fresh-baked pizza dough.
With lineups around the block to snag a table at their Victoria Drive restaurant, you can bet the food at this Neapolitan-style pizzeria is something to write home about. Luckily they have a food truck, too, so your wait, while still a reality, won’t be nearly as long and will end in instant satisfaction. At the truck, which you can find in Railtown, on Burrard and Pender and occasionally outside Brassneck or 33 Acres, they’re serving up saltimbocca, a wood-fired sandwich.
