Delight Your Guests With New Jersey’s Best Deli Food Truck Catering

From Hoboken to Cape May, nobody does sandwiches quite like the Garden State. Whether you grew up calling it a sub, hero, or the classic Jersey “hoagie,” our New Jersey deli food truck catering brings that boardwalk-level flavor straight to your curb. Think Boar’s Head cold cuts piled high, sharp provolone, shredded lettuce, tangy long-hots, and a drizzle of the vinegar-oil mix every Jersey kid knows by heart. Pair those epic sammies with crispy boardwalk fries, crunchy pickle spears, and a side of creamy slaw and you’ve got a spread worthy of any tailgate outside MetLife.

Booking with Best Food Trucks means you get more than great eats—you get true Jersey attitude, punctual service, and trucks that can navigate everything from the Turnpike to the tiny streets of Montclair. Hosting a summer bash down the Shore? We’ll park right off Ocean Ave. Throwing a corporate lunch in Newark or a family reunion in Cherry Hill? We’ve got the permits, the rolls, and the deli slicer ready to go. Just tell us how many hungry guests you’re feeding, and we’ll have subs flying out faster than the trains at Secaucus Junction.

Looking to mix things up? Add some of New Jersey’s favorite food trucks to your lineup:

  • Jersey Johnny's Grill – a true Garden State icon famous for deep-fried hot dogs, hand-pressed burgers, and that legendary chili sauce.
  • The Little Sicilian – six styles of arancini plus personal pizzas that taste like they just landed from Palermo to Port Newark.
  • Hold My Knots – garlic-knot sliders stuffed with meatballs, chicken parm, or shrimp parm for the ultimate carb-load before hitting the Parkway.
  • Your Sister's Balls – mother-and-daughter team rolling out legendary Neapolitan-Sicilian meatballs that would make Nonna proud.
  • the JEET? Mobile – serving classic Jersey comfort food that answers the state’s favorite question: “Jeet yet?”

So go ahead—trade the corner deli line for a rolling deli on wheels. Best Food Trucks will bring New Jersey’s finest sandwich artistry right to your driveway, office lot, or boardwalk wedding. Hit that “Book Now” button and let’s feed your crowd the way Jersey intended: fresh, loud, and bigger than the Turnpike at rush hour!

Skip the Line and Actually Enjoy Your Jersey Gathering

We all know New Jersey parties move fast—just try keeping up with a Sunday tailgate in East Rutherford or a Sweet 16 in Edison. With Best Food Trucks’ cutting-edge online ordering system, your guests spend zero time idling in front of the truck and 100 percent of their time enjoying the event. Instead of shouting an order over Springsteen blasting from the speakers, they simply pull out their phone, tap the New Jersey deli food truck menu, and get a text the moment their sub is sliced and wrapped. No lines, no stress—just pure Garden State good vibes.

Hosting a boardwalk wedding in Point Pleasant or a corporate lunch right off the Turnpike? Drop everyone a pre-order link so they can lock in a specific pick-up time before, during, or after the festivities. Grandma can schedule her turkey-and-Swiss for 12:05, the intern can grab a roast-beef hoagie at 12:17, and nobody misses a toast, a speech, or that perfect photo with Lucy the Elephant.

Food truck catering in New Jersey has never been this hassle-free. Our system keeps the focus on your party while still delivering the kind of over-stuffed sandwiches only a true Jersey deli can craft. From Newark to Cape May, event planners rely on Best Food Trucks to make their gatherings look sharp and run smoother than a jughandle turn. So if you’re Googling “deli food trucks near me,” stop the search—Best Food Trucks is your first and last call for New Jersey deli food truck catering. We’ll handle the orders; you handle the fun.

Food truck catering is when you hire a food truck to provide freshly made meals from a full service mobile kitchen for your event. Instead of using large containers filled with food made hours earlier, food is made fresh and onsite.
How does food truck catering work with Best Food Trucks?
With Best Food Trucks, you choose the budget for your event and provide details like, time, date, how many diners and what type of party you're throwing. Best Food Trucks will send out your request to regional food trucks who will submit a proposal based on your budget.
How do we choose the budget for our food truck event?
You choose the budget (within our parameters) and we'll find proposals that match that budget. Every proposal we send you will be for your submitted budget. For example if you submit a budget for $2000 for 80 people, we'll send you menus from vendors based on that budget. You'll see various menus, but they'll all be for your $2000 request.
Are there different budgets for each food truck proposal?
No. Each proposal will be for the budget you've chosen. If you have a budget of $2000, we'll only send you proposals for your budget of $2000.
What are the menu choices for my food truck event budget?
Once you choose a budget, we'll confirm the details and send out a request for proposals to the regions best food trucks! We'll submit a link for you to view food truck menus. You'll be able to select the food truck of your choice directly from the review link we send you.

Most food trucks can serve around 50-70 orders per hours. For bigger events, we suggest having multiple food trucks to ensure wait times don't get out of hand.
Can we do online orders or pre-orders to reduce lines at the food truck for our event?
Best Food Trucks has the best in class technology platform to allow your guests to skip the line and order directly from their phone. This ensures that your customers can enjoy your event and avoid waiting in line. When their order is ready, they'll get a text message to come pick up their order.

Food trucks that can serve fast and serve a cuisine that can easily be eaten while standing without having to use utensils, typically work for a party atmosphere.
