Hot, Customizable Meals for Charlottesville Studios—Ready When You Are!
Whether you’re shooting an indie documentary on the Downtown Mall, a commercial along the Rivanna River, or a feature film out by the Blue Ridge Mountains, Best Food Trucks delivers the most reliable food truck catering for studios in Charlottesville. Our team has years of experience feeding crews of every size—from small UVA student productions to multi-day network shoots at Boar’s Head Resort—and we know how to keep cast and crew happy, on time, and on budget.
We’ll collaborate with your production office to build rotating daily menus, select the best parking and service spots (yes, even those tight alleys off Market Street), streamline online ordering and pickup, and confirm that every vendor carries Charlottesville-approved health permits and insurance. You’ll receive a detailed cost analysis before the first call sheet goes out, so there are no surprises when the final credits roll.
Best of all, our Charlottesville food truck catering options are as diverse as your talent roster. Craving Mediterranean? Book Ricebowls Express for hearty grain bowls that fuel long shoot days. Need wood-fired pies for a late-night rewrite session? Blue Ridge Pizza Co brings a portable oven that turns any back lot into an Italian pizzeria. Cool the crew down after a humid Central Virginia afternoon with handcrafted scoops from Royal Creamery & Icery. For classic American comfort, call in Fantabulous Chef Service LLC or the ever-popular Curbside Creations.
Food truck catering also keeps Charlottesville green—less packaging, minimal food waste, and fewer delivery miles mean a smaller footprint at Carter Mountain or wherever you’re filming next. Let Best Food Trucks handle every meal break so you can focus on getting the perfect shot. When it comes to studio catering in Charlottesville, we’ve got you covered from “rolling” to “that’s a wrap!”
Fueling Your Shoot While Fueling Charlottesville’s Small Businesses
Every time you book studio food truck catering in Charlottesville, you’re keeping the city’s creative engine—and its small businesses—running. Most of the trucks we work with are owned by Charlottesville families who live in neighborhoods like Belmont, Fifeville, and Crozet. Instead of wiring profits to a corporate headquarters, they spend their earnings at local spots such as the City Market, Reid’s Super Save, and the Friday After Five concerts on the Downtown Mall. Your craft-services budget becomes grocery money, music-lesson money, and mortgage money for your neighbors. That’s a wrap everyone can celebrate.
Hiring a food truck is also the greenest way to feed a set tucked between the Blue Ridge Mountains and the Rivanna River. One self-contained kitchen means lower power use than a fleet of chafing dishes, fewer single-use containers, and drastically reduced delivery mileage. Many of our partner trucks compost with Black Bear Composting and source produce from Albemarle farms like Bellair and Morven, so your catering footprint stays as light as a drone shot over Carter Mountain.
So the next time you type “low-budget film catering in Charlottesville” or “studio food trucks near me” into your phone, let Best Food Trucks connect you with a menu that feeds your crew, supports the local economy, and protects the environment—all without blowing the production budget.

Hello, I missed my pickup because I got held up at work. That’s my fault. Would it be ok to get my order next time Magic Hibachi are at the PCT buildings? I’d be fine with that if they are.

I love everything about the balsamic strawberry salad; all the right ingredients and the right portions. I appreciate that I can easily get my mouth around the grilled sandwiches and they are not too greasy when picking up. If course they taste great too!
