A lot has been happening in the food truck world here in Tucson. Whether it is the continued swirl of legality issues surrounding The Pit’s presence, or the new food truck setup going up in early February around the Tanque Verde Swap Meet, food trucks have been more in the news now than they have, well, probably ever in Tucson. And now, a new food truck is entering the foray. However, this one is coming from a local brand that’s already known in the area.  

Mama Louisa’s Italian Restaurant serves up family-friendly Italian food here in town. With fresh pasta produced daily, it offers up a taste of freshness that’s not easily replicated. Plus, as it’s been in business since 1956, the restaurant knows a thing or two about pleasing customers. Thanks to its success, a chef and co-owner of the Italian restaurant has decided to open up his own new food truck, to help bring food to different areas of the city.
