As we told you towards the end of last year, Eddie’s Pizza Truck has expanded their menu to include several types of sandwiches.  We enjoyed their buffalo chicken sandwich the week after Thanksgiving, so today we decided to go back and try their porchetta sandwich.

We originally tried Eddie’s porchetta at the 2011 Vendy Awards, where they were a Rookie of the Year finalist.  At the Vendy’s, in addition to pizza, Eddie’s prepared a couple of new dishes, porchetta and sweet potato gnocchi.

Today’s Lunch is a porchetta sandwich ($9.50) from Eddie’s Pizza Truck.

We got word from Derek of Eddie’s Pizza Truck telling us they are doing a FREE lunch promotion tomorrow (Thursday) with LevelUp.  You can get a free lunch of up to $10 in value.  All you have to do is to sign up for a free account with LevelUp.  The promotion is also being used to debut Eddie’s Pizza’s new loyalty program.

We first ran across Valducci’s Original Pizza a couple of days after they opened last May.  At the time, they were still working out the kinks in the oven, and didn’t have any toppings on the pizza.

What a difference six months make.  For Today’s Lunch, I got a slice of meatball & ricotta pizza and a slice of sausage, peppers & onions pizza ($5 each) from Valducci’s.

NYSF readers know that I’m a sucker for blue cheese in any guise.  The quickest way to get me down to your truck or cart  is to tweet a daily special with something in the buffalo chicken or blue cheese family.  The combination of blue cheese, breaded chicken and spicy sauce is something I just can’t resist.

I’ve had a blue cheese burger from Frites ‘N’ Meats, a buffalo chicken rice ball from Papa Perrone’s, and a black and blue burger from The Frying Dutchmen…but I”m not crazy about buffalo chicken wings because there’s never enough meat.

Today’s Lunch is a Makers Mark buffalo chicken sandwich ($9) from Eddie’s Pizza Truck.

I generally try to avoid Times Square, but had to be there today.  In case you haven’t heard, there are a couple of new kiosks in Times Square selling decent food that don’t seem like the usual tourist traps or chains.

Snack Box is on the western side of the Times Square pedestrian plaza near 46th St and Salume is on the eastern side of the plaza between 45th & 46th, across from the Disney Store.

Salume is owned by the same people who own Salume on West Broadway in Soho.  The menu is what they call Italian panini with good quality ingredients, although I call it a hero.

It was tough deciding which sandwich to get because they all looked pretty good.  You can see the menu here and here.

Since I love blue cheese, I decided to go with the Cernobbio ($6) for my First Look.
