A new late-night food truck has opened in Moscow, outside the Corner Club on Main Street.
The Boise-based company Coned Pizza had its first day of business in Moscow on Jan. 16, is doing a trial run until early spring, co-owner Marina Blake said.
“We were incredibly drawn to the idea of pizza in cone, so we figured out how to do everything and brought the concept to Boise. We loved the potential of building something new and exciting in Idaho,” Blake said.
The manager of the Moscow truck is a University of Idaho alumni Blake said.
“Our manager wanted to bring a truck to a place she loved, and since we tend to scale back on food truck events in winter, we figured it was worth a try! We will have a food truck allocated in Moscow, until early Spring,” Blake said.
Blake and her husband got the idea for pizza in a cone when they were traveling through Italy.
“My husband and I were traveling around Italy several years ago and originally saw the idea out there. We were incredibly drawn to the idea of pizza in cone,” Blake said.
It took them a little while after returning to Idaho to get the idea fully fleshed out, but they opened their first truck in 2016.
“We started Coned in the winter of 2016,” Blake said. “We began in a small food cart and have since worked our way up to a store, two food trucks, a cart, and two stands inside the Boise State stadium for football games,” Blake said.
Blake said while this truck is temporary, there is potential to open others based on how this one goes.
Blake said each of the cones are equivalent to two slices of pizza. Coned serves basic cones, premium cones and salads.
Coned is open Thursday through Saturday starting at 11 p.m. each day.
