Sean from Feed Your Hole tipped us off to a new type of pizza truck that a buddy of his is coming out with.  It’s called Pizza Luca, and is actually a brick-oven on top of a 1952 Chevy flatbed truck.

Click through to find out where they will be making their debut this weekend, and see what the pies look like. (Hint: Amazing!)

One of the newer trucks on the scene is Our Heros.  We trucked down to the Financial District to try them when they first arrived, but it’s tough for us to get down there for lunch.

That’s why it was great news when Our Heros told us they would be coming up to midtown for lunch a couple of days a week.  We caught up with them on 51st St just west of Park Ave, and were immediately confronted with a dilemma – what to order for lunch.

Since we got a cold roast beef hero last time, we wanted to try a hot hero this time.  An eggplant parmigiana hero for $8 sounded just about right.

Yesterday we told you about a new food truck in NYC called Marky Ramone’s Cruisin’ Kitchen.  They serve 4 different types of meatballs, and we had a chance to stop by yesterday on 24th St & 5th Ave during their first day of operation in the city.

For our first visit to the truck, we had to try the Italian meatballs because Marky Ramone has his own marinara sauce available online and at 10 different stores in the tri-state area.  They also sell it at the truck for $7 a jar.

You can get any of the 4 types of meatballs on a roll or “in a boat” for $7.  We decided to get the Italian meatballs on a ciabatta roll.

Last year we told you about a new food truck with a punk rock pedigree called Marky Ramone’s Cruisin’ Kitchen.  They did events on Long Island & New Jersey, but were in the city outside Marky’s gig at the Gramercy Theater in October.  Thanks again to our eagle-eyed reader @CarlyFrankel for telling us about them.

We made contact with Keith Album, the truck’s chief, cook and bottle washer (that’s actually what is says on his business card), and have been following them on twitter.

Keith told me they now have a NYC mobile vending permit, and will be in the city permanently starting today.

Click through to see what they serve and where to find them.  A hint: Do you like big balls?

In May 2011, we ran across a new food truck called Valducci’s Original Pizza.  The people behind Valducci’s had a pizzeria in Staten Island for 22 years, but the truck had only been around for a few days at that point.

Now Valducci’s has been around for almost a year, and we recently stopped by one of their regular spots on the west side of Park Ave at 52nd St. They also hit a couple of other neighborhoods, and some of the new food truck lots.

Valducci’s serves Sicilian-style pizza with various toppings.  We went for a slice with fresh ricotta cheese and a slice with fried eggplant on top.  Each cost $4 and was about 8″ long.
