It's been a while since I've reviewed a LEGO CITY set. If you've read some of my past posts, I have mentioned before that I am a CITY and TRAIN fan at heart. It's been a while since I've had the space and time to build a large setup with trains going around a city, but that's where my LEGO passion lies. Someday I plan to have a large space where I can build a big display. In the meantime, I will pick up sets here and there to expand my scene-to-be.

The CITY theme is geared towards kids. The boxes say for ages 5 to 12 so clearly I am not the appropriate audience, but #60150 - Pizza Van is a set outside of the ordinary. Typically CITY goes through sub-themes to include Police, Fire Fighters, Airport, and a few others that change out every now and then. #60150 was released on 27 November 2016 at a retail price of $19.99 from LEGO (in the USA). It contains 249 pieces so that makes it $0.08 per piece. I picked the set up at 20% off for $15.99 at Amazon.com so $0.064 per piece (WOOHOO!).

Here is the box. Nothing special or out of the ordinary here.

Here are the contents. It contains 2 bags of parts, 2 instruction booklets, and a sticker sheet (that were shoved into the box).

Bag 1 contains the minifigures. It has a male figure who is the chef and a female figure who could be a customer or the delivery driver or a customer who stores the pizza on their scooter. The female figure has hair and then a helmet for riding the scooter.

Bag one comes with a table and umbrella for figs to stand and eat in the shade, the scooter with a pizza box, and the pizza. There is one full pizza and then 2 pieces of pizza. I'm not sure if this is the first set with the pizza pieces, but I think it's a great addition to LEGO's stash of bricks. I remember growing up as a kid and having almost no options for food. LEGO has come a long way with the various food options. Pizza was one of the first that I can recall and now we have individual slices besides the entire pie.

Onto the build. Nothing extraordinary here. It's a simple build of a vehicle without a ton of intricate parts. The instructions are obviously not meant for AFOLs, but for kids as it goes one piece at a time. I had it assembled quickly.

Bag 2 finishes up the set.

Should you get the set? If you're a CITY and TRAIN nerd like me, then it is definitely a different piece to add to your display. With some of the recent park themed sets, it could be good to have a food truck at your park. In my opinion it's not a bad set to give to kids either. A lot of play options with the set alone between the scooter, truck, and food serving options. As always with some of the simple CITY sets, they left a lot of options for making changes to include swapping pieces to adjust the color scheme or maybe changing up the front of the truck which to me isn't that impressive.

What do you think?

Happy building!
