Abstract:
A compact pizza preparation and delivery vehicle is described. The vehicle is a self-propelled vehicle, such as a mini-pickup truck, having a driver's compartment with a driver's seat and a cargo compartment, preferably enclosed by a topper, behind the driver's compartment. The vehicle also includes a refrigerated case for storing pizza shells and pizza toppings in the driver's compartment which case is within access of the driver in the driver's seat. An assembly table is located on top of the refrigerated case for supporting an uncooked pizza shell while applying the pizza toppings. The vehicle further includes a pizza oven in the cargo compartment which oven is adapted and positioned so that, while sitting in the driver's seat, a driver can insert an unbaked assembled pizza into the oven and remove a baked pizza from the oven.
