The food originated in Naples around 1,000 years ago. In 1830, the world\u2019s first pizzeria, Port\u2019 Alba, was opened. They cook pizzas using the lava of Mount Vesuvius.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Pizza is considered a poor man\u2019s meal in the 1800s. In 1889, the owner of Pizzeria di Pietro e Basta Cosi, Raffaele Esposito was commissioned by the Italian king and queen to bake some Italian treats for the royal family. That&#8217;s how Raffaele invented the Margherita pizza in honor of Queen Margherita. Such an event also marked the popularity of pizza as a fashionable Italian meal.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In 1905, Gennaro Lombardi opened the first pizzeria in America. It immediately crept across the mainland with Italian immigrants opening up other pizzerias on the east coast. After World War II, it became popular on the west coast. Pizza became mainstream among Americans in the 1950s. In 1984, Gerry Durnell founded the first pizza expo in Las Vegas, Nevada. It became the world\u2019s largest pizza trade show held annually. In 2008, food trucks became popular in the key cities of America. This paved the way for pizza food trucks.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Let\u2019s take a look at the 5 best pizza food trucks in America.<\/span><br \/>\n<b><\/b><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"best\"><b>5 Best Pizza Food Trucks in America<\/b><\/h2>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"basickneads\">Basic Kneads Pizza (Denver, CO)<\/h3>\n<p><b><\/b><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Eric, Joel, and Reid Bakken grew up with monthly pizza nights.
