Wanderers Kneaded: The street food van serving up some of Edinburgh's best pizzas


Founder Francesco Bani, who is originally from a small town near Bergamo in Italy, launched the business last year after becoming disillusioned working for bigger companies in the city.
“Originally the idea was born from wanting to serve food in the most honest way possible," Francesco explained.
"We wanted to cook just what we believe in, no excuses, and served to the community that we love.”
Wanderers Kneaded – a pizzeria on wheels serving sourdough pizzas cooked in a woodfired oven - was the result.


"I've always been fascinated by the side of street food that see vendors as part of a larger community and of the city itself. I guess when I started WK I just really wanted to be out there, to get back in touch with my passion and see if I can pass it on to people."
The pizza specialist explained that he wanted to create high quality pizzas with 'edgier' ingredients, something that would stand out in a stagnant market filled with global giants like Dominos and Papa Johns and local experts like La Favorita.
