More and more businesses are making their way to Trussville. What’s new on the radar? Read on to find out!

1. Taco Mama

We are just days away from the grand opening of Taco Mama, so get ready for delicious tacos and hand-shaken margaritas. I know I’m not the only one who’s excited!

The restaurant can be found in the Highway 11 shopping center that houses Metro Diner and Chicken Salad Chick. In fact, if you drive by when the sun begins to drop, you will already see festive lights and decor lit up inside.

The taqueria’s menu will feature all the yums, including:

• And more!

Bonus perks of Taco Mama: big garage doors and a great patio space.

2. Laster’s Iron Stone Pizzeria

I know what you’re thinking—didn’t an IronStone Pizza already come and leave Trussville several months ago? Yes, that’s exactly what happened. So here’s the skinny.

Laster’s Iron Stone Pizzeria will take over the former location of IronStone Pizza in the Homestead Village shopping center. While the location is the same, it’s an entirely new eatery. 

Behind the eatery are Teddy Zane and Jennifer Miller, owners of Laster Sundries On Main in Springville, which serves New York style pizza and ice cream. 

“When the shopping center was first built, I tried putting a bid on a space for a pizzeria, but they already had the IronStone bid so I couldn’t move forward. When IronStone shut down, I saw my opening to finally get in. I moved immediate to get the space.”

Teddy Zane, Owner, Iron Stone Pizzeria

The restaurant will feature traditional New York-style pizza sold by the slice or pie. 

Insider’s secret: three of the restaurants cheeses come directly from Italy. Celebrazione!

Estimated opening date: 1st-2nd week of December 2019

Find Laster’s Iron Stone Pizzeria at 5445 Patrick Way, Suite 101, Birmingham, AL 35235.
