PORT ST. LUCIE, FLORIDA — New Haven Pizza Truck is preparing to open within the next few weeks, bringing Connecticut-style pizza to events and private bookings across Florida.
Owner Mustafa Telawi and business partner Tariq Hamza told Business Debut the mobile operation will serve customers throughout a wide service territory spanning from Miami to Orlando, FL.
What to Expect
The concept is inspired by the pizza culture of New Haven, Connecticut, where Telawi spent nearly two decades working in established pizzerias. The food truck is built around a traditional wood-fired pizza oven imported directly from Italy and installed inside the trailer to replicate the cooking method used in New Haven.
New Haven Pizza Truck will operate at community events, farmers markets, and private gatherings, while also offering on-site catering for weddings, birthdays, graduations, and corporate events.
Menu and Vision
The menu emphasizes quality ingredients and classic preparation. Telawi said the team sources premium mozzarella, flour, and other components from top suppliers and focuses on consistency rather than cutting corners.
Specialty pizzas highlighted for the Florida market include a pepperoni pizza finished with hot honey, a popular option in New Haven, and a mashed potato pizza that Telawi said is a longtime regional favorite. The full menu is expected to feature more than 40 pizza varieties.
“We wanted to make sure we give people the perfect taste,” Telawi told Business Debut. “Everything starts with the oven and the ingredients.” He said the truck uses a wood-fired oven imported from Italy, along with premium mozzarella, high-quality flour, and carefully sourced toppings. Telawi said the team prioritizes consistency and ingredient quality, with a focus on delivering a traditional, wood-fired pizza without shortcuts.
Catering and Events
For private bookings, the truck offers three-hour service windows that include an open pizza buffet and salad service, followed by dessert. Dessert includes a complimentary Nutella pizza, along with soft-serve ice cream and espresso, with cleanup and packaging of leftover pizzas included at the end of the event.
Opening Timeline
The team is targeting an opening within the next three weeks, pending final permitting approvals.
Hours
The truck plans to operate seven days a week from 10 a.m. to 9 p.m., with availability based on event schedules, private bookings, and public appearances. Customers interested in booking the truck for events or viewing upcoming locations are encouraged to visit the website for additional details.
