Del Popolo Mobile Pizzeria Brings the Pizza Oven to You

Are you tired of getting your pizza delivered or going to pick it up? You should let your pizza come to you. Well, if you have a mobile pizzeria in your neighborhood anyway. Del Popolo is a mobile pizzeria that is housed in a twenty-foot transatlantic shipping container that’s been modified into a kitchen.

You can see its interior from a wall of glass doors as if it were any other shop. Inside there’s an entire pizzeria on wheels, complete with traditional italian-made wood-fired oven. This awesome mobile eatery was created by owner Jon Darsky who worked with four designers and spent 180,000 dollars putting this container on a heavy-duty delivery truck.

The oven can reach temperatures of up to 800 degrees and takes up almost 1/3 of the space inside. The up side is that it only takes about 1 minute to cook each of the pizzas. The Del Popolo pizza truck makes the rounds of the San Francisco Bay Area, and you can check its current status here. Man, I wish I had a pizza oven truck where I live.

Ninja Cake Pops: Are You Quick Enough to Pop Them in Your Mouth?

I have a thing for cake pops. There’s just something so delicious about the idea of a piece of cake you can eat anytime, anywhere – like a lollipop. Whoever invented the cake pop should win a Nobel prize as far as I’m concerned. My favorite cake pops of the day have to be these ones, shaped like little ninjas.

They’re made by SoSweetPops, and come in an assortment of hooded red and black ninja heads, filled with your choice of chocolate, red velvet, vanilla, yellow, carrot, birthday, or strawberry cake. Yum. Strawberry shinobi! My only concern about these cake pops is that ninjas have been known to pull off some serious defensive maneuvers – so they might try and punch their way out of your mouth when you go to eat one. Or they might not even let you get that far.
