DETAILED DESCRIPTION Briefly stated, the present invention is a compact pizza preparation and delivery vehicle.
The vehicle is a self-powered vehicle having a driver's compartment with a driver's seat and a cargo compartment behind the driver's compartment The vehicle also includes a refrigerated case for storing pizza shells and pizza toppings in the driver's compartment which case is within access of the driver in the driver's seat.
An assembly table is located on top of the refrigerated case for supporting an uncooked pizza shell while applying the pizza toppings.
The vehicle further includes a pizza oven in the cargo compartment which oven is adapted and positioned so that, while sitting in the driver's seat, a driver can insert an unbaked assembled pizza into the oven and remove a baked pizza from the oven.
In accordance with a preferred embodiment, the pizza preparation and delivery vehicle is made from a small pickup truck.
In this embodiment, the cargo bed of the truck is covered with a topper.
Also, the passenger seat is removed from the driver's compartment and the refrigerated case is put in its place.
This preferred vehicle also includes a supplemental refrigerated case in the cargo compartment for storing extra pizza shells.
The preferred oven includes a turntable on which the pizza is rotated during baking.
The turntable is preferably attached to the oven door which is hinged on one side.
In this way, the turntable is brought out of the baking chamber when the door is opened and is thus more accessible to the driver.
In addition, the pizza is prevented from becoming over-cooked.
Also in the preferred embodiment, all of the electrical power needs are met by the generator for the engine.
That is, there is no need for a separate generator on the preferred vehicle The vehicle of the present invention provides significant advantages.
For one thing, the development of the preferred embodiment which fits within the typical mini-pickup truck has reduced the overall purchase price of the vehicle
