Listen to Liane Varipapa Page, owner of Big Green Truck Pizza in Connecticut, on The Hot Slice Podcast with Pizza Today.

Big Green Truck Pizza made history this month by serving more than 4,500 people at the 10th annual Apizza Feast in New Haven. The company’s lead dough maker prepared 750 dough balls ahead of the event, which served 10,000 slices and was recognized by Guinness World Records for the largest pizza party. 

Achieving the feat required lots of planning. Big Green Pizza brought six of its trucks, two trailers and 30 staff members and friends to cook pies onsite. If anyone is up to such a challenge, it’s a mobile pizza operator that regularly staffs multiple events simultaneously, has contingency plans in case of a car trouble and rounds out its eye-catching fleet with International Harvesters from the 1940s.  

Find out how Liane Varipapa Page went from operations manager to owner of Big Green Pizza Truck and how she is adding to the fleet so she can “say yes” to booking requests for years to come.
