After a long, tedious and frustrating process getting the Roosevelt Island Operating Corp (RIOC) to allow mobile food trucks to serve the Roosevelt Island community, like food trucks do for many other NYC neighborhoods, the time has finally come. Last Friday, La Bella Torte Food Truck began serving Canollis and other Italian pastries and tonight comes Eddie's Pizza Food Truck which will be serving at the West Promenade Road near the Starbucks between 4 and 8 PM tonight. Eddie's Pizza Tweets:

Eddie's Pizza Food Truck will be on Roosevelt Island for dinner at 4-8 PM Monday - Thursday.

Midtown Lunch tried out Eddie's Pizza Truck recently:

... To keep it under our sacred $10 limit, you can either order a 10-inch personal pie either from their speciality menu ranging from margherita at $8.50 to white or WTS (a white pizza with ricotta, tomato, spinach, and mozzarella) at $9.50, or you can build your own specialty pizza. Speciality pizzas start at $7.50 and you can add a vegetable for $1.00 and a meat for $2.00....

and:

... I was in an olive mood, so I ordered a margherita with olives. I wouldn’t call it perfect, but it was damn good. As other ML bloggers have noted, the pizza crust is ultra-thin. Thinner than any pizza I’ve ever tried. The sauce was tangy and tomato-ey, but used very sparingly. The cheese was great and they used lots of it, the sliced tomatoes were flavorful, and the basil added a nice, fresh touch. I was hoping the olives wouldn’t be the canned kind, but they were. I guess you can’t have it all.

But my main gripe here is that the while the paper-thin crust is sooooo good, I devoured it in about a minute and I was still hungry after I ate the pie. I really missed that heavy, dough-ball feeling in my stomach that pizza often provides. In fact, I’m sure I could easily eat a large Eddie’s pizza by myself....

Looking forward to trying Eddie's Pizza as well as other Food Trucks which will hopefully be making their way to Roosevelt Island. Imagine coming home from work in the evening and having the option of stopping at one of the tasty food trucks. Maybe take the food home with you, bring it to the waterfront or just sit and eat it on one of the benches in Southtown, Blackwell Park or at Good Shepherd Plaza.

Choice is coming to Roosevelt Island and that is a good thing. Not only can you eat at one of our existing restaurants, but you can also choose from a variety of Mobile Food Trucks.

However, just received this disturbing comment from a reader of the La Bella Torte Cannoli Food Truck post:

It looks like they won't be here for long the free month on roosevelt island is only 2 weeks, and they want 345 a month for every sector the trucks go to, so if a truck wants to go from sector 1 to sector 2 its another permit they have to apply for. I think they just did this to shut people up, so they can say we gave the trucks a chance and they didn't want to be on the island. Its really sad, because there are a lot of trucks that would have come tothe island and i'm sure a lot of residents who want the trucks there, but unfortunately the powers that be don't want it

I really hope RIOC does not try to screw up Food Trucks coming to Roosevelt Island any further!!!!!
