Sweet Tomatoes Food Truck Hits the Streets of Boston

Have pizza, will travel. 

Starting this week, Newton's Sweet Tomatoes Pizza has hit the streets of Boston in its new food truck. 

According to a post on the Sweet Tomatoes Pizza Truck Facebook page, Tuesday, March 12 was the truck's first day out on the street. The pizza truck spent its opening day at the Boston Public Library and the intersection of Trinity Place and Stuart Street.

Sweet Tomatoes opened its first brick-and-mortar location in Newton Centre in 1998, according to its website, and since then has opened three other locations in West Newton, Needham and the Northeastern Student Center.

An Eater Boston article posted earlier this year hinted that a Sweet Tomatoes truck would be up and running soon, as a Craigslist job posting indicated the local pizza joint was looking to go mobile. 

Similar to other food trucks, the Sweet Tomatoes truck has a Twitter feed set up (@SwtTomatoTruck) with updates on where it will be stationed for lunch and dinner hours.

The truck's website also lists its schedule for the week, with locations including Claredon Street in the Back Bay, the intersection of Milk Street and Kilby Street in the Financial District and Commonwealth Avenue at Boston University East.

Now that a popular Newton restaurant is mobile, it begs us to ask the question once again: What do you think about the possibility of food trucks in Newton? Tell us in the comments section below.

After several discussions on the mobile food truck industry, the Newton Board of Aldermen's Programs & Services Committee agreed in January to form a subcommittee or task force to look at the possibility of food trucks in the city.
