Hot, Customizable Meals for Every Charlottesville Studio!
Whether you’re shooting a commercial off the Downtown Mall, filming a documentary near Monticello, or producing the next indie hit on the UVA Grounds, Best Food Trucks delivers the most reliable food truck catering for studio crews in Charlottesville. Our local team understands the tight turnarounds and early call-times that come with life on set. We’ll design rotating daily menus, identify the easiest pull-up spots— from Belmont to the foot of the Blue Ridge— and organize contact-free ordering so cast and crew spend less time in line and more time on camera.
Every vendor we bring on lot is vetted for Virginia health permits, insurance, and fire-safety requirements, and we back it all up with a clear cost analysis that protects your budget. Plus, food truck catering keeps Charlottesville green by reducing buffet overage and excess packaging. From sunrise shoots to late-night wrap parties, let Best Food Trucks take the guesswork out of mealtime for your studio— it’s one less thing for you to worry about.
Craving local flavor? Treat the team to Mediterranean rice bowls from Ricebowls Express, wood-fired slices courtesy of Blue Ridge Pizza Co, or classic American comfort favorites from Fantabulous Chef Service LLC and Curbside Creations. Don’t forget a sweet wrap-day reward— hand-churned scoops from Royal Creamery & Icery are always a crowd-pleaser.
Fueling Local Dreams—And Your Set
Booking food truck catering for your Charlottesville studio shoot does more than feed a hungry crew—it keeps the city’s small-business scene thriving. Most of the trucks that roll up to sets from North Downtown to Crozet are owned by UVA grads, longtime City Market vendors, or families who’ve served late-night bites on the Corner for years. Every taco, smash burger, or vegan grain bowl you order puts money back into our community and helps local entrepreneurs chase their own creative projects.
Food trucks are also a smart, eco-friendly alternative to traditional craft-services tables. Because meals are cooked to order right on the truck, there’s far less food waste and no need for mountains of disposable chafing pans. Modern rigs run on high-efficiency generators or shore power, shrinking the carbon footprint of your production—something we can all appreciate when we’re filming along the Rivanna or out by Carter Mountain’s orchards.
So the next time you Google “low-budget film catering Charlottesville” or “studio food truck near me,” skip the boxed lunches and call Best Food Trucks instead. We’ll deliver fresh, hyper-local flavor to set while you focus on capturing the perfect shot.

I like both pizzas, especially the one with mushroom, cheese, carm onion, and arugula with truffle oil. Also being able to pre-order ahead, service was fast. Thank you!

The Ahi Tuna Roll was quite delicious and surprisingly substantial without being too heavy. I recommend picking a fork with it. Wraps never survive in one piece.

Everything. Only recommendation would be to have regular tartar sauce for catfish along with the sauce it comes with.

The Italian sausage sandwich was great with the peppers, and it was nice to have a cooked vegetable option with the green beans. It was made just like how I'd cook it up in my own kitchen.

The chicken tacos were great, with awesome flavor, along with the fries that were nice and fresh with the added extra seasoning! I enjoyed my lunch today for sure! 🤗

The sauce was just the right amount of sweet, the combination of the crispy crust and warm melted cheese was perfect and the pepperoni added a nice spice to round it out. 😋yum
