Mostro Pizza team up with Isuzu Jiffy Banquet to create the perfect pizza to order, fresh and hot from the oven, directly outside residential homes.

Speaking to Hospitality and Catering News, Mostro Pizza MD Lee Punter explained the thinking behind this concept:

“The concept of preparing and cooking customer’s pizza orders for them actually on their driveway came about as a result of the first lockdown 12 months ago as we looked for ways to expand our business activities under the restrictions placed by government.

The initial prototype vehicle worked really well and as a result of the customer reaction we are now looking to expand through a nationwide franchise operation. The business will be based on the Isuzu Jiffy Banquet 3.5 tonne truck as it ideally meets the challenging operating requirements for such a home delivery business.”

We worked closely with the team at Jiffy and Isuzu to create a bespoke unit that we believe is the first takeaway vehicle that actually allows fresh food to be cooked on a driveway. Fitting everything into a compact 3.5 tonne truck was a challenge which collectively has successfully been met.

We now have a truck which has a refrigerated storage area, a frozen section, a proving area and a gas-powered stone baked oven operating at very high temperatures that will cook three pizzas in 90 seconds,” said Lee Putner.
