Happy Camper Pizza

Happy Camper Pizza is a beloved Melbourne-based food truck business, renowned for its authentic woodfired pizzas served from a fleet of vintage vehicles. Founded in 2013 by husband-and-wife duo Remi Pham and Sonia Lear, the venture was born out of a desire to combine their passions for travel, family, and delicious food.

A Slice of Their Story

The journey began when Remi, a mechanical engineer, and Sonia, a former ABC journalist, decided to leave their corporate careers behind. Inspired by their travels and a shared love for pizza, they purchased a 1965 Airstream and transformed it into a mobile pizzeria. Their mission was simple: bring joy to people through mouthwatering pizzas made with love and quality ingredients.

Over the years, Happy Camper Pizza has grown its fleet to include several uniquely named vintage vehicles:

• Allegra Airstream: A stunning 1965 Airstream, Italian for “Happy.”
• Farrah Bedford: A 1965 Bedford Truck, Arabic for “Joyful.”

• Joie Teardrop: A 1940s-style Teardrop Trailer, French for “Happy.”
• Gwyneth Teardrop: Another 1940s-style Teardrop Trailer, Welsh for “Happiness.”
• Merri The Chevy: A 1962 Chevy Truck, Irish for “Happy.”

Each vehicle is equipped with a woodfired oven, ensuring pizzas are cooked to perfection on-site.

Catering with a Personal Touch

Happy Camper Pizza offers a diverse menu that caters to various dietary needs, including gluten-free and vegan options. Their offerings extend beyond pizzas to include grazing boards, salads, and handmade gelato. Whether it’s a wedding, corporate event, or private party, their team ensures a memorable dining experience.

Notably, they were recognized as the Best Wedding Caterer in 2024, a testament to their commitment to excellence and customer satisfaction.

Community & Resilience

In December 2021, a fire at their Braybrook warehouse posed significant challenges, damaging their food trucks and equipment. However, the local community rallied around them, raising funds and offering support, enabling Happy Camper Pizza to rebuild and continue serving their beloved pizzas.

For those seeking a unique and delicious catering experience, Happy Camper Pizza delivers not just food, but a story of passion, resilience, and community spirit.
