New pizza truck opens this weekend, giving away 500 free slices in Tampa

TAMPA, Fla. - A new mobile pizza joint is coming to Tampa. Cipriano Zonin is bringing generations of family recipes into a new concept that keeps the tradition alive and offers authentic Italian on the go.

The business is named after Co-Founder Ashley Salmon’s great-grandfather Cipriano Zonin, a native of Italy. The family had an Italian sausage company and signature recipes, which were passed down.

Zonin uses ingredients like imported Italian plum tomatoes, Luganiga sausage, Italian double-zero flour, house-made Sicilian cream sauce, and more. Their four specialty pizzas are made in a stone oven and served by the slice.

The grand opening will be held at Tiny Tap Tavern at 2105 W. Morrison Ave. in South Tampa from 5 to 8 p.m. on the 19th. Three hundred slices will be given away there, one per person.

Cipriano Zonin will also be at Water Street Tampa’s Pawty in the Plaza event on Saturday, May 20, giving away another 200 free slices from 3 to 6 pm.
