A couple with Pittsburgh-area roots is bringing Steel City dishes to Fayetteville with a new food truck.
Gina Buracchio, 41, and her husband, Josh Buracchio, 42, opened Yinzers food truck in mid-July.
The couple serve sandwiches, pizza, fries and pierogi true to their tri-city origins, often with their children, Gino, 17, Ryan, 15, and Natalia, 5, in tow.
Josh Buracchio’s occupational therapy career brought the family to Fayetteville about a decade ago. Gina Buracchio has worked as a cook at Napkins restaurant since it opened in 2019.
The pair quit their day jobs, however, to bring Yinzer fare to “North Carolinyinz.”
“We were like, why don’t we just make all the stuff we love so much from home?” Gina Buracchio said on Wednesday at Dirtbag Ales in Hope Mills, while her husband prepared for dinner service.
If the food truck’s propensity to sell out wherever it goes is any indication, Fayetteville has a taste for Yinzers food, and the truck has introduced locals to several storied Pittsburgh eats.
