Cammareri Bros Prosciutto Rolls Available on Midtown Pizza Truck
Papa Perrone’s, the pizza truck that popped up on 55th btw. Mad+Park last year as an alternative to Jiannetto’s, is starting to pick up a little steam. They distinguished themselves nicely with their delicious artichoke pie, and now in addition to grandma slices, Sicilian rice balls, and their eggplant/meatball/chicken parm subs, they are offering prosciutto rolls from Cammareri Bros- the famous Brooklyn bread bakery (that was in the movie Moonstruck.)
Check it out after the jump…
It’s not a great photo, but you kind of get the idea. Deliciously oily bread, studded with cheese and chunks of prosciutto. What could be bad about that? And for only $1.50 it makes a great snack (or ‘fat guy’ add on appetizer to a couple of slices or a sandwich.)
Another new offering kind of sums up what this truck is all about; the Pablo slice: a regular grandma slice, topped with fresh mozzarella and one of their homemade meatballs (named after a customer who constantly requested the combo.) The guy who runs Papa Perrone’s is super friendly, and will pretty much do whatever you ask.
Also available sporadically as a special: prosciutto rice balls… and we hear they are working on a sandwich for the Midtown Lunch Sandwich Challenge that may or may not include garlic bread as a vehicle. I think I speak for everyone when I say… nice.

Hmmmmm papa Perrone’s says they now carry some fancy chocolate chip cookies from a bakery called “Delicious Endings” Anyone tried them? At $1.25 the price is right.

Is that about fist sized or smaller? $1.50 is an awesome price… prosciutto!
-
Speaking for myself…NICE.
-
There are many better choices in that neighborhood, and I am being polite.

delicous endings…sounds…sexy!

These Rice Balls are gourmet. I grew up on these sicilian treats. the rice was perfect w a tasty meat center. these “Rice Balls ” were out of this world. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

This truck is a standby as they park in front of my office. Not a fan of the artichoke slice but the rice balls and eggplant parm sandwich are excellent

fully enjoyed the specials today. Chatted about sandwich challenge — expect lasagna and EP on a roll. nice.

I went for the first time today and my verdicts are:
Rice Ball – Great!
Artichoke Pie – Pretty Good
Prosciutto Roll – Just so-so -
