Pizza to go at The Pizza Wagon (literally)

The Pizza Wagon (Hurricane) is a hidden gem sure to intrigue even the most seasoned foodie.

It tows only the pizza-making necessities: ingredients and an oven. What it lacks in looks is made up for by its signature wood-fired pizzas. They attract eager crowds as consistently as Zion National Park (which would be a lovely spot to enjoy a pizza picnic.)
