Some sad local news for any Cornell grad or Ithaca native. Bob Petrillose, founder of the Hot Truck and infamous PMP (Poor Man’s Pizza) passed away last night after a battle with Parkinson’s disease. As a freshman at Cornell, I spent many nights waiting in line for french bread pizza. And Petrillose’s Truck is a landmark in Ithaca as well known as Cornell’s clock tower or Ithaca’s gorges. For more information check out the slice pizza blog.
His french bread pizza will live on through sales at the downtown Shortstop Deli.

This is truly a sad day for Cornell as well as an end to an era in late night munchies…the scooby and shaggy clogged my arteries for weeks on end but definitely made passing out at the end of the night much more enjoyable…your poor man’s pizza was many a Cornellian’s late night treasure…you will be missed.
