Hot, Customizable Meals for Every Charlottesville Studio Set
Whether your cameras are rolling on the Downtown Mall, out at UVA, or catching Blue Ridge Mountain magic at the edge of Albemarle County, Best Food Trucks delivers stress-free, studio-approved catering that keeps cast and crew happy and on schedule. We tap into Charlottesville’s favorite mobile kitchens—like the Mediterranean bowls from Ricebowls Express, wood-fired pies from Blue Ridge Pizza Co, sweet treats from Royal Creamery & Icery, and hearty comfort fare from Fantabulous Chef Service LLC and Curbside Creations.
Our Charlottesville studio food truck catering team designs rotating daily menus, scouts the best on-lot or on-location parking spots, streamlines ordering with our online platform, and vets every vendor for permits, insurance, and Health Department compliance. You’ll receive clear cost summaries that respect your production budget while our trucks serve fresh food with minimal packaging waste—good for your wallet, your crew, and the Shenandoah Valley environment. Let Best Food Trucks handle the mealtime logistics for your next shoot so you can focus on getting the perfect take.
Fueling Charlottesville’s Creative Scene—and Its Small Businesses
Every time a production books Charlottesville studio food truck catering through Best Food Trucks, the craft services table turns into a love letter to local entrepreneurship. Nearly all of the rolling kitchens we partner with are family-run outfits based right here in Central Virginia—think Belmont-born taco trailers, Gordonsville BBQ smokers, and Crozet crêpe carts. Your catering dollars stay on the Charlottesville Downtown Mall instead of disappearing to a national conglomerate, and that money recirculates through our community—from farmers at the City Market to gear shops on Preston Avenue.
Food trucks also fit perfectly with the eco-minded spirit of C’ville’s film community. Compared with traditional buffet lines, trucks burn less energy, idle for shorter periods, and rely on recyclable or compostable serviceware that keeps waste out of the Rivanna River watershed. The result: lighter footprints for shoots on the UVA Lawn, at Morven Farm, or against those iconic Blue Ridge backdrops.
So the next time the call sheet demands “low-budget film catering near me,” lock in a socially responsible solution that delights your cast and crew while uplifting Charlottesville’s small businesses. Book your studio food truck catering with Best Food Trucks and taste the difference local makes.

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!!!!

The sandwich and salad combination is a good value: whole sandwich and large salad. It was also very tasty.
