1889 Pizza Napoletana

A converted military Humvee carrying a real wood-fired pizza oven is not something guests expect to see rolling into an event, and that is exactly part of the magic behind 1889 Pizza Napoletana. Founded by husband-and-wife team Jason and Kelli Kolich, this Kansas City, KS food truck brings authentic Neapolitan pizza traditions directly to weddings, corporate gatherings, private parties, and community events. After training under world pizza champion Tony Gemignani, the founders built their business around traditional techniques, carefully sourced ingredients, and the unmistakable flavor of wood-fired pizza inspired by Naples, Italy.

Every pizza is crafted in the Neapolitan style and baked in roughly 90 seconds, creating an interactive experience where guests can watch the process unfold from dough to finished pie. Favorites include the Signature Margherita with San Marzano tomatoes and fresh mozzarella, the truffle-kissed 1889, and the Piccante topped with salami piccante and Calabrian chilies. The menu is complemented by fresh salads, bruschetta, house-made meatballs, and wood-fired stuffed peppadew peppers, offering plenty of options for groups and special events.

Named after the year Queen Margherita's famous visit to Naples inspired one of Italy's most iconic pizzas, 1889 Pizza Napoletana combines old-world craftsmanship with memorable hospitality. Recognized by Food & Wine as the best pizza in Kansas, the team continues to bring families, coworkers, and friends together through exceptional food and genuine service. From backyard celebrations to workplace lunches, this food truck delivers a slice of Naples with every event.
