Friends of Pizzeataly raised $11,398 to help finance a new truck outfitted with a special brick oven. The theft following a coronavirus shutdown had nearly sunk the business.

TAMPA â Maybe 2021 will be better after all.
Dora Botero and her boyfriend Mirco Falcone had to shut down the pizza truck they had sunk their life savings into because of the coronavirus. It nearly ruined them, but after three months they reopened in July and started building back business. Then in November, someone in a pickup hitched up âPizzeatalyâ and drove off with it.
