To do it right you gotta do it yourself.
“After shady pricing, long timelines, and poor communication, I realized no one could build the vision I had for my vintage mini food truck. So I decided to build it myself”
The one year solo-build
Thousands of decisions, hundreds of bolts, one goal: To build a unique Tiny food truck
It took me four months of design and planning before embarking on an eight-month journey of risky and expensive trial and error, where patience and dedication finally paid off, and I eventually built a unique custom Piaggio Ape food truck.
Quality materials & craftsmanship
A modular frame using American aluminum poles
Most small food truck builders rely on heavy steel permanent frames, and you never know where those materials come from. My modular Piaggio Ape pizza truck is framed with American-made aluminum poles.
The oven on top
Patent pending Piaggio Ape food truck design
By moving the oven to the top of the cabin, my patent-pending Piaggio Ape pizza truck design keeps the working space cooler, frees interior space, and creates a striking centerpiece. The first of its kind, turning design and function into a performance advantage.
Low-profile exterior awning
Lightweight custom awning with perfect gas strut control
Most food truck awnings are bulky or imported. My low-profile awning system was engineered specifically for micro food truck builds, lightweight, balanced, and durable with precision gas struts for long-term reliability.
Modular, turnkey-ready, and backed with training.
Every nut, bolt, sign, and finish of your Piaggio Ape is fully modular, keeping the vehicle’s original charm and value intact.
100% modularity
Fully wired, plumbed, and tested — each mini food truck leaves ready for a quick start without the headache.
Turnkey-ready
These Piaggio Ape mini food trucks can serve gelato, coffee, or Mediterranean street food with minimal changes.
