"HOME OF THE WORLD FAMOUS ITALIAN GRINDER"

Mema's Italian Grinders

HOW IT ALL STARTED

Mema’s is the first food truck in the United States to specialize in gourmet Italian grinders, meatball subs and many other classic Italian favorites. Inspired by the time spent working in his grandmother Helen’s (Mema’s) pizzeria in Newton, Iowa, owner Chad Cline has brought many of Mema’s original recipes out of long-term storage and is proud to offer some of Iowa’s most delicious Italian cuisine based on 60+ year old family recipes and all from the convenience of a food truck.

BRICK AND MORTAR

Mema’s food truck is a custom built 8.5’ x 30’ concessions trailer equipped with a licensed full commercial kitchen and specifically designed to serve large groups (100+) with gourmet Italian sandwiches which are prepared quickly and served by friendly staff. The Mema’s food truck is available for special events (weddings, graduations, corporate events, parties, etc.) and can also be found out on the streets from time to time serving the general public.
