Pi on the Spot, the meals-on-wheels version of Pi Pizzeria, is parking its food trucks. Today, the restaurant posted on its website and via social media that regular operations for both its St. Louis and Washington, D.C. food trucks will come to a close on Tuesday, July 31.
“We’ve enjoyed bringing our Pi to guests who couldn’t otherwise enjoy Pi in our full-service restaurants during their lunch hour, but now we want to re-focus on the Pi experience in our brick-and-mortar operations,” read the letter to Pi patrons. “Especially with the recent heat this summer, we have realized there are too many factors in mobile operations that can compromise our guest experience and the comfort of our team members.”
The St. Louis truck, which rolled out two years ago and marked the launch of the local mobile eatery scene, will be used for Pi’s catering, special events and non-profit functions, according to the restaurant’s post. Pi on the Spot was named favorite food truck in this year’s Sauce Readers’ Choice Poll.
