Today we will find out which truck has won the honour. It's also the time when new cars are unveiled and new flavours are discovered. Every year there are also special innovations, as there are this year. On 6 June, the first Pizza Making Championship took place, where young talents showed off their skills.

And on Sunday, the Pancs Piac, the small farmers' market will move to the venue, where you can find handcrafted products and unique ingredients.

Sustainability is also an important consideration
Environmental awareness is also important for the Hungarian Street Food Association and its partners. As an important guideline, all trolleys use vegetable fibre for the food they serve. Plastic-free packaging and waste management was a high priority at the event. In this way, both the organisers and the participants wanted to set an example for the future of environmental protection.

Pizza making competition
The first ever Piaggio Pizza Making Championship, held for the first time this year, was met with great interest. It's no wonder, since pizza is a dish that almost everyone loves. More and more people in our country are turning to it professionally, and we can already boast several teams who recently took part in the World Pizza Championship. It is also no coincidence that the show was hosted by Chef Lázár, who himself has achieved great international success with P7 el (Pizza Napoletana by Lázár Chef). The jury had a hard time deciding, as there were better and better pizzas on the table.

Food Trucks and ingredients
The rolling „restaurants” are all based on a single theme. Their food has two basic principles, one is quality and the other is that it should be prepared relatively quickly. It is clear that the starting point is the quality of the ingredients and professional service. A MATUSZ -Vad is also proud of its partners who participated in the show.

They cook their meats in their own smoker, and sometimes even prepare these unique meats in front of their guests at festivals. Their headquarters are located on Szentendrei Road in Budapest and they also have a restaurant, so if you didn't get a chance to try their food at the festival, you can always visit them. Most of the meat - from the scapula, go to, a tarja, the neck and brisket of the beef are also obtained from MATUS - Vadt.

Basically we make sandwiches and bowls with classic American side dishes like coleslaw salad, mustard salad. They also have bbq dressings and sauces that complement the smokiness of the meats very well.”
