Midtown Lunch

Our good friend John Paul (aka “Papa Perrone”) checked in the other day with an update on his truck (which has only been showing up sporadically on 55th btw. Mad+Park for the past few months.) Apparently they’ve been having problem after problem with the truck (including oven issues), but it’s all fixed. [...]

Fans of the pizza, crazy sandwiches, and Uncle Louie G’s ice from the Papa Perrone Truck (which has been on vacation for a week and a half) will be happy to hear this news via twitter: they’re back tomorrow (Tuesday) on 55th btw. Mad+Park.

Even though the Papa Perrone truck (on 55th btw. Mad+Park) is no longer doing the Rutgers Grease Truck sandwich, they wanted everyone to know they’re still serving the pick 2 meatball/eggplant parm/ziti combo sandwiches on garlic bread on Wednesdays and Fridays only.

Got a little bit of sad news from the Papa Perrone Pizza Truck (on 55th btw. Mad+Park) this morning.  He’s retiring their official entry into the Midtown Lunch Sandwich Challenge.  The mozzarella stick/french fry/chicken finger homage to the Rutgers’ Grease Trucks may come back in September, for now you’ll have to make due with his [...]

If you missed out last week, don’t forget that Papa Perrone’s Truck (on 55th btw. Mad+Park) will be serving up his version of the Rutgers grease truck sandwiches again today. For those who don’t know, that’s chicken fingers + french fries + mozzarella sticks on a roll, covered in sauce. Definitely will make for a [...]

Gee, do you think Midtown Lunch’ers would be interested in a truck that sells sandwiches modeled after the Rutgers grease trucks?  Uh… I’d say so.  Papa Perrone (on 55th btw. Mad+Park) answered the call of the Midtown Lunch Sandwich Challenge yesterday by serving up a chicken fingers, mozzarella sticks, and french fries sandwich with marinara- [...]

I’ve been begging for it ever since the Midtown Lunch Sandwich Challenge began, and word is the Papa Perrone Truck (on 55th btw. Mad+Park) is stepping up to the plate today. Chicken fingers. Mozzarella sticks. French Fries. Sauce. Roll.  If you’ve ever been to the Rutgers grease trucks you know exactly what I’m talking about.  [...]

If seeing families fight is your thing, you’ll want to check out the comments section of the Papa Perrone video post on the VendrTV website. Apparently a cousin is very angry that her mom wasn’t given credit for the truck’s rice ball and pizza rustica recipe.

College Humor stars Jake & Amir visited Papa Perrone’s Truck the other day, and VendrTV was there to catch the action. Why Papa Perrone’s? Because apparently pizza is “college food”. Kind of a stretch if you ask me (since I’m pretty sure no college students come to Midtown for pizza) but you know what [...]

You had to know this was coming: following the success of Papa Perrone’s entry in the Midtown Lunch Sandwich Challenge, now you can get any sandwich from the truck (on 55th btw. Mad+Park) on garlic bread.  We’re also hearing rumors that the special sandwich (meatballs and eggplant parm on garlic bread) has morphed into a [...]
