The food is cooked to order with quality ingredients. The menu changes with the seasons. I saw this food truck at Gastro Park in West Hartford. I decided to order a kielbasa hot dog ($12) which had sauerkraut, black garlic whole grain mustard, on a brioche bun. This was a superb! It tasted very fresh, I love the mustard, it added a nice flavor and texture when combined with the sauerkraut. I wanted to try out their pierogies, it sounded delicious but I wanted to get something else at another food truck. The portion was a little small for the price, that is the only constructive criticism. Overall, a great food truck with delicious food and friendly people.

On our recent trip to Connecticut, me and my significant other decided to take a quick trip to…read moreTonn's Marketplace. It seems like they were having a festival of sorts going on, one of the trucks there was Smetana's. I've had pierogis before but none as good as this, this was one of if not the best pierogis I've ever tried they gave us an apple butter and sour cream and I personally couldn't imagine a better pairing. Everyone was super friendly and kind too, I honest could not recommend enough!

Absolutely Fabulous! I just had the pleasure of hosting my wife's 50th birthday party and used The…read moreFamily Pizza truck for catering. As a Yelper I find it challenging to want to hire a business that I can't find reviews of online but that was the case with this company. I'm so glad I "took a chance" on them because they were the hit of the party. Angela and Kevin arrived with the brick oven already pumping out a woody smoky essence. Within an hour to 45 minutes the pizzas started flying out of the oven onto a huge table provided by the truck! It comes with salad as well. We were able to specifically pick out 5 pizzas from their list and they created several others on the fly that they knew would be big hits with the crowd. In addition to those that we picked and those made on the fly they also had the standard cheese and pepperoni slices for the "kids." One of the favorites of the crowd was definitely the loaded potato pizza (that was my favorite for sure). This was a seriously smart and budget friendly way to cater a party for about 50 people. In the week leading up to the party my wife and squabbled over what other food we should buy and provide for the party. I kept saying "less is more" and "that's why we hired the food truck". We did end up putting out a fruit plate, veggie tray and some dips but I've got to say, we had leftovers. We also had at least 8 full pizzas left over (very nice). I would hire these guys again in a heartbeat. It was worth it. Oh and to give you a sense of the cost it was about $950 for 3 hours delicious pizza (no fork or knife needed!) for 50 folks.

These guys are truly awesome. From the first phone contact with Angela to happily secure the date…read moreof the party to the arrival of their amazing pizza truck and trailer rig everything went smoothly. Kevin was a brilliant truck and trailer driver who backed his rig in alongside our high top tent behind the carriage barn. Then he and his associate began producing their delicious pizzas within the first hour. Our guests were all delighted and the trailer also helped block the cool winds that followed the all day rain! The only hiccup was that a late arriving guest had blocked the driveway exit when the truck went to leave, but the hard working folks took it all in stride until we let them get away after one of the best and most epic barn birthday bashes ever. Everyone commented on how delicious the pizzas were and how fast the chefs were at getting them to Angela's serving tables much to their delight. Paired with local brews from John Auclair's nearby Norbrook Farm Brewery, the evening was a culinary delight for all. Bravo Kevin and Angela of The Family Pizza Truck!

The owner, Mike, is clearly battling some personal demons that are getting in the way of how we operate a business.

There is no insurance, business registration, or health department records. If I had a Delorean, I would go back before dealing with him to ensure I save myself the headache.

They were helpful, responsive, and everything was clear and upfront. There were no surprise charges, or "gotchas". In fact they did several things beyond the scope of the contract without additional charges. More importantly, on the wedding day everything went perfectly. They gave us great advice on the set up of the tables, chairs, bar etc. They listened carefully to everything that was asked of them, made a couple of outstanding suggestions and dealt with the problems caused by strong gusts of wind at an outdoor venue with calm assurance. All of the food was incredible. The hor's d'ourves were fantastic, especially the brie and artichoke tarts, mini lobster rolls and tuna tacos. The mac and cheese in mini ramekins were also a huge hit. The dinners were equally delicious. I had the half chicken, which was served with a delicious polenta. It was absolutely amazing. Perfectly cooked, moist with a crispy skin. Other sides were served family style and were all fantastic. The dessert was also superb. Each guest received a trio of mini desserts, each of which was delightful. We had several guests with food restrictions (vegetarian, gluten free, dairy free). The servers made sure the restrictions were observed, and they made it a point to bring appropriate appetizers to those guests, which was a very nice touch. All of the guests raved about the food. The service was also first class. There were so many servers handling the passed hor's d'ourves that every guest had multiple chances to try each of the offerings. Service of the dinner was equally impressive. The venue is outdoors, and it is a bit of a hike from the kitchen tent to the dining area. Despite that, the guests were served quickly, and the food came to the table still hot. Finally, their prices are quite reasonable, especially given the outstanding quality of the food and service. A very good value.
