Hot, Customizable Meals for Every Charlottesville Studio!
Whether you’re filming an indie on the Downtown Mall, shooting B-roll along the Rivanna River, or wrapping a commercial near the University of Virginia, Best Food Trucks has Charlottesville’s studio catering covered. Our crew has fed productions big and small all over Central Virginia, so we know how to keep cast and crew happy—and on schedule.
We create rotating daily menus that feature local favorites like Blue Ridge Pizza Co’s wood-fired pies, the crave-worthy shawarma bowls from Ricebowls Express, and over-the-top comfort plates from Fantabulous Chef Service LLC and Curbside Creations. Need a sweet wrap-party treat? Royal Creamery & Icery scoops house-made ice cream that rivals any dessert on the Downtown Mall.
From scouting the best parking spot with a Blue Ridge Mountain backdrop to streamlining online ordering and pickup windows, our team handles every detail. We verify permits, insurance, and health-code compliance for each truck so your production stays focused on getting the perfect shot, not the paperwork.
Food truck catering is also a green choice for Charlottesville film sets—reusable serviceware and precise portioning mean less food and packaging waste heading to McIntire Recycling Center. Plus, our detailed cost summaries keep your budget as tight as your shooting schedule.
Let Best Food Trucks take the guesswork (and the hunger pangs) out of mealtime on your Charlottesville studio set. Hot, customizable meals will be ready when you call “Lunch break!” so you can get back to rolling cameras in no time.
Supporting Charlottesville’s Small Businesses — On and Off the Set
Choosing Charlottesville food truck catering for your studio shoot isn’t just a tasty decision—it’s an investment in the local community. Nearly every truck we book is a family-run operation based right here in Central Virginia, from vendors who cut their culinary teeth at the Saturday City Market to chefs who source peaches straight off Carter Mountain Orchard. When your production hires a food truck, those catering dollars stay in Charlottesville, paying local employees and fueling other homegrown suppliers. It’s a delicious way to keep the town’s creative and culinary scenes thriving while you capture the next great scene on camera.
Food trucks are also a green win for any Charlottesville film set. Mobile kitchens draw less power than massive on-site commissaries, portion precisely to curb food waste, and serve with compostable or reusable ware that’s welcome at McIntire Recycling Center. So when you search “low-budget film catering near me,” remember that a food truck is both eco-friendly and budget-friendly. Hit us up, and we’ll roll in a socially responsible, flavor-packed solution that keeps cast and crew happy without blowing your production budget.

Food was amazing. Chef Yarwood clearly knows what he is doing. The steak tips with mushrooms and onions as well as the Mac and cheese were truly delicious. I will definitely be ordering again in the future.

Good pizza! I love the crust and the garlic is over the top! Suggestion: allow me to add sausage and extra basil to the base white pizza without adding red sauce.😉

I found the cheese pizza to be salty and the margherita pizza needed more tomato sauce. The cauliflower crust was good as was the balsamic vinaigrette.

I was home and didn’t plan on going back out. I got a pop up that the Melt Machine was a few minutes away. I placed an order and left my house for a grilled cheese and tots! LOVE the Melt Machine!!!!
