For a thin crust pizza it wasn't bad. The pepperoni was a bit greasy. All in all we were decently satisfied.

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?
