Mr. Arancini here!
WELCOME and thanks for dropping by...feel free to browse, give feedback or contact us for an order.
>>What are Arancini - you ask?<< They are Sicilian Riceballs...literally, balls of rice with several types of fillings (see "Balls" Menu). They are then breaded and deep-fried...and NOBODY does them like Mr. Arancini!!!
Our Story:
People have been enjoying our "BALLS" for over 15 years, and we have decided to officially make it a business. We wanted to do it differently, in a way that would make people remember us, we want to be distinct...so two years ago, (2012), we purchased a old Chip Truck. We spent all summer working to convert and remodel it, until we created our Mr. Arancini Food Truck!!! We found a place in Pickering to situate it, and we began our small business! We definitely sparked the interests of passerby's, the media and the general public...we are unique--as you can see...

Our slogan served its purpose, it attracted an ENORMOUS number of loyal customers...then we thought to tone it down--a little.
As the cold weather approached, we closed for a few months. We decided that every Spring we would open with something new and original!!! This is the first time EVER that arancini with toppings came about. We were very excited about this, and so were our customers...this is the way we announced it:
We are re-opening this Spring with something "new", after a Winter of cooking and sampling.....WE ARE VERY EXCITED and pleased to say MISSION ACCOMPLISHED!!! Now you can customize your BALLS and make them your own!!! SAUCE 'em, SPICE 'em, even TOP 'em...that's right......
TOP YOUR BALLS!!!

Who said you can only put toppings on a sanGwich? At Mr. Arancini we make our own rules and you won't be able to resist the flavours of fresh Provolone cheese melting over the split Arancini...then topped with sautéed mushrooms, fried green peppers and onions, fried jalapeños...and of course our zesty homemade tomato sauce, and freshly grated parmegiano cheese just TOPS it all off! LITERALLY out of this world!!! But you MUST bring your appetite for this one, it's definitely an entire meal!
This new addition to our menu was very successful. We changed the way Arancini are eaten, and that was a huge accomplishment!!!
As October was coming to an end, we closed the trailer for the winter and began to brainstorm for our next menu addition.
After all of the requests for expansion of our menu, we made a decision that we would not only expand our menu but also our business! We closed the trailer indefinitely and began planning the opening of Canada’s FIRST Riceball Shop in the Spring of 2014!
So that is basically the story of our journey as Mr. Arancini...
