The Best Deli Food Truck Catering in Philadelphia
In Philly, we don’t do “subs” or “grinders”—we do hoagies. Best Food Trucks partners with the tastiest deli food trucks in Philadelphia to build the kind of stacked hoagie that makes you forget about the line at Dalessandro’s. Piled-high cold cuts, sharp provolone, good Italian dressing, and a sprinkle of oregano—every bite screams South Philly sidewalk in July. If you need deli food truck catering in Philadelphia for a block party, Mummers prep, or an Eagles tailgate down at the Linc, we’ll roll up with everything from chips and fries to that creamy coleslaw your Aunt Dee swears by.
Booking with us is easy as grabbing a soft pretzel from a street cart on Broad Street. Tell us where the party is, and our Philadelphia deli food truck pros will pop the hatch, fire up the slicer, and start crankin’ out hoagies faster than the El can get from Frankford to 69th Street. Guests walk right up, order their jawn, and head back with a fresh-made sandwich that blows any grab-and-go platter out of the water.
Want to add a little variety to your deli spread? Philly has legendary mobile kitchens ready to park next to your hoagie truck:
- the JEET? Mobile serves American comfort classics that pair perfectly with deli sides.
- Pitruco Pizza slings blistered-crust Neapolitan pies from a red-hot oven.
- Urban's wood fired pizza brings another spin on Italian favorites for guests craving more carbs.
- PHILADELPHIA EATS offers a menu full of local staples to round out any catering lineup.
- Red's Rolling Restaurant dishes gourmet seafood rolls and platters straight from the Jersey Shore.
From Center City corporate lunches to Main Line mitzvahs, our Philadelphia deli food truck catering keeps the crowd happy, full, and bragging on social media. Hit us up today and let Best Food Trucks turn your next event into a true Philly feast!
Skip the Line and Keep the Philly Party Rolling!
Nothing kills the vibe of a South Philly block party faster than a long food line. Best Food Trucks fixes that problem with our slick online ordering system, built for hungry Philadelphians who’d rather be dancing to The Roots than staring at a menu board. Guests pull out their phones—whether they’re on the Parkway for Made in America or tailgating outside the Linc—tap in their hoagie order, and get a text the second it’s ready. No more hovering around the deli food truck asking, “Yo, you got my Italian yet?”
Planning ahead? Shoot out a pre-order link with the invite and let everyone pick a specific pickup time. Your cousin in Fishtown can snag a prosciutto-and-provolone at 6:15 while your aunt from Ardmore schedules her turkey hoagie for 7, all before the party even starts. It’s like having Wawa touchscreen convenience—but on wheels and way tastier.
Food truck catering with online ordering keeps the focus on what matters: celebrating, not queueing. Hosts stay stress-free, guests stay happy, and every sandwich leaves the window fresh enough to make any Philly deli proud. If you’re Googling “deli food trucks near me” in Philadelphia, stop the search—Best Food Trucks brings professional service, legendary hoagies, and zero hassle to every event from Center City rooftops to Main Line mitzvahs.

The truck arrived 30 mins late, which caused quite a disturbance. The food was cooked and served quickly. Some things were overcooked and dried out, a bit. However, Mike was very courteous and professional and accommodating.

Well, my husband and I ordered the Italian beef sandwich and it was phenomenal. The crunch on that bread was amazing. Probably the best sandwich I've ever had on Italian beef as a matter of fact, it was the best sandwich ever.❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

It was good but so spicy! I wasn’t expecting it to be spicy. It may be too spicy for the average person lol.
