Ciao! We are Tommy and Mattia. We come from the region around Lake Garda and Lake Como in northern Italy.
After separately travelling around Aotearoa we met here in Queenstown back in 2017. As our friendship grew so did our love for this amazing part of the world. Growing up near the lakes, the appeal of Queenstown was undeniable. We wanted to stay. We wanted to work and live here. And, as importantly, we wanted to share our culture and our food with our newfound home.
Our passion for Italian food, our expertise in baking and cooking, and our love for travelling was the perfect cocktail for a food truck. We were inspired to start and share our Italian Way.
After over a year of careful planning (and with the extraordinary help and support of our partners, Veronica and Esther) our first food truck hit the road late in 2019.
Since then our mission has remained unwavering. We provide the highest quality of pizza by combining fresh local produce and the finest Italian imported ingredients.
Everything starts at the base. Our pizza dough is fermented for 24 hours and is made with real Caputo flour. We’d much rather deliver quality over quantity.
This base is then topped with the finest quality tomato sauce flavoured with salt, extra virgin olive oil, fresh basil and Fior di Latte mozzarella cheese. With fresh, seasonal vegetables and top quality meat and dairy products from local producers, everything bonds together to deliver a pizza experience that’s second to none.
Truck #1
827 Frankton Road, Frankton, Queenstown 9300
If, like us, you believe the best beer deserves the perfect pizza you’ll see why the Italian Way and Altitude Brewing partnership is a match made in heaven. With a beautiful backdrop of the marina and Lake Wakatipu, the location is equally loved by locals and visitors alike for good reason. Award-winning beer, life-changing pizza – how can you go wrong?
Truck #2
This is the truck that many of you may already have met – be it close to home in a suburban stop, or out and about at one of our many event appearances. A popular destination for local families, our truck is always travelling around Queenstown and the Central Otago region delivering the best in Italian pizza. Follow us on social media to find out where our food truck might be next.

Sometimes something so good just needs to be shared further. With our customers regularly asking for more Italian Way at more places we started researching how to deliver pizza to Queenstown in a new way. We are currently developing a ‘mini-Way’ – a new way of catering to our region’s growing appetite. Watch this space!
