I decided to check out the fireworks at Globalfest’s 10th Anniversary Celebration in Elliston Park this year. It was a beautiful evening! There were
a lot of people out to support the multicultural festival. Tents from all parts
of the world came together to showcase “One world”. Kids of all ages had come
out to see the show. Mayor Nenshi even had a little speech prepared for the occasion.
Apparently, he grew up in that part of the city, and he is proud to see this annual
event as such a success. Love that mayor!
With such a great event in progress, I knew that food trucks
would also be there, so I scoured the grounds. I came across a silver food
truck with quite a crowd. I saw that it was a pizzeria! Perfect. That’s exactly
what I had been craving that evening. The chefs inside the truck were laughing,
and joking. They looked like they really enjoy what they do. I ordered the 3
Cheese Basil Pesto Pizza. It was so delicious. The crust was nice and thin to
make way for the big flavour of fresh basil pesto, tomato and cheese. One of
the best pizzas I have ever tasted! It had no meat on it, and it really didn’t
need it. This came as quite a big surprise to me and my companion, as we are
both meatatarians. What an accomplishment to have such basic ingredients taste
so amazing! We finished off the meal with some delicious mini donuts. You know
those addicting donuts they have at the fair, doused in sugar and cinnamon?
Yeah. Those ones, except Italian.
Theme/Truck Design – The simple silver truck leaves a bit to
be desired in the way of creativity. Maybe there was something I missed on the other side of the truck?
Food – Such great Italian pizza makes you want to hide the
frozen pizzas in your freezer in shame.
Service – Fun loving Italian jokesters with a dash of charm.
Price - $10 for a personal-sized pizza, $4 for a bag of a
dozen mini donuts. Is it just me or are food trucks in general just more
expensive?
Wildcard – Pimento’s is run by an expert pizzaiolo, Chef
Mario. That means he uses only the finest Italian ingredients in his pizzas,
including organic tomatoes, fresh basil, and premium meats. Each pizza is hand
tossed, and freshly prepared. Like their website says “Pimento’s pizzeria is
all about an Italian guy having fun making great Italian pizza.”
