Papa Perrone Saves Eddie’s Pizza From the Cops… Today
An interesting thing happened on 55th street today that other food truck vendors would be wise to pay attention to. Because of all the UN madness on the east side, Eddie’s Pizza Truck was forced to find a new spot this morning for their Thursday service. Where did they choose? 55th btw. Park+Mad… right next to the Papa Perrone truck, who also sells pizza. Naturally, Papa Perrone wasn’t too happy about it, not just because they both sell pizza but because he’s worked hard over the past few years to cultivate a relationship with the building on that block- who in turn have agreed not to complain to the cops, provided that the block doesn’t turn into a food truck parking lot. So when Eddie’s showed up this morning, Jon Paul (aka “Papa Perrone”) explained the situation, hoping that they would find an alternate spot. Obviously nobody wants to see a repeat of what happened on 48th Street a few weeks ago.
Eddie’s response? Kill them with kindness…
