Italian Food Truck Catering in Charleston
Planning a wedding on Folly Beach, a corporate retreat on Daniel Island, or a backyard soirée in West Ashley? Best Food Trucks makes booking Italian food truck catering in Charleston as easy as a stroll down King Street. We connect you with the Holy City’s most talked-about mobile kitchens, bringing brick-oven pizzas, hand-rolled pastas, and Lowcountry charm straight to your event.
For an authentic slice of Italy on wheels, check out Mastro's Fire. Their wood-fired rig turns out bubbling Margheritas, fennel-sausage pies, and roasted-garlic specialties that locals swear are the best this side of the Ravenel Bridge. Everything—from the San Marzano tomato sauce to the imported cheeses—is crafted fresh, giving your guests a true Neapolitan experience.
Craving more artisanal eats? Chow Bella dishes up rustic pastas, creamy risottos, and seasonal antipasti that pair perfectly with a sunset over the Ashley River. It’s comfort food, Tuscan-style, without ever leaving the Palmetto State.
Of course, our roster doesn’t stop at red-sauce classics. If you’d like to mix things up, Best Food Trucks can also roll in the party vibe of Papá Grande Comfort, the island flavors of Roe Roe's, or the espresso-and-cannoli delights from LowCountry Cannoli & Coffee. Whatever your vision, we’ll curate a lineup that keeps every Charlestonian smiling.
From intimate gatherings in the French Quarter to large festivals in North Charleston, our team handles menus, permits, and parking so you can focus on enjoying the party. The result? Hot pizza, twirl-worthy pasta, and that unmistakable Charleston hospitality—all served fresh from a food truck window.

It was the best gluten-free pizza I've had since New York City and the chocolate Dubai dessert was amazing. I hope they come to Starkey ranch again soon!!

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

I ordered the Lemonade cupcake. I loved the balance between the sweet of the icing and the sour of the lemon! It was so delicious!!!

Pizza was perfectly cooked with high quality ingredients and you could tell they make their own crust and sauce, would definitely order from them again. Pickup went smoothly and order was ready at the requested time.
