Hot, Customizable Meals for Every Charlottesville Studio Set
Whether you’re shooting a commercial on the Downtown Mall, filming a documentary near Monticello, or running a late-night set on the University of Virginia campus, Best Food Trucks delivers the most reliable food truck catering Charlottesville studios can find. Our local team will:
- Create rotating daily menus that keep cast and crew excited.
- Scout and secure the perfect service spot—be it a farm on Route 29 or a soundstage off I-64.
- Streamline online ordering and socially-distant pickup so you stay on schedule.
- Vet every vendor for Charlottesville health permits, insurance, and fire-safety requirements.
- Provide a detailed cost analysis that keeps your production on budget.
By choosing food truck catering for your studio in Charlottesville, you reduce food and packaging waste while giving the crew fresh, made-to-order meals. That’s one less logistic headache and a greener footprint in our beautiful Blue Ridge backyard.
Some local favorites ready to park on set include:
- Ricebowls Express – Mediterranean-inspired bowls piled high with fresh veggies and proteins, perfect for gluten-free and vegan crew members.
- Blue Ridge Pizza Co – Wood-fired pies that keep everyone happy, from early call time breakfast pizzas to late-night margheritas.
- Royal Creamery & Icery – House-made ice cream and Italian ices that make scorching summer shoot days instantly cooler.
- Fantabulous Chef Service LLC – Elevated American comfort food, ideal for those twelve-hour days when only mac-n-cheese and pulled pork will do.
- Curbside Creations – Burgers, sliders, and hand-cut fries that satisfy every carnivore and flexitarian on set.

Fueling Charlottesville’s Small Businesses
Choosing food truck catering for studios in Charlottesville does more than satisfy your cast and crew—it keeps money circulating right here in the 434. Most of the trucks we dispatch are owned by solo entrepreneurs and family outfits you’ve spotted at the City Market, IX Art Park, or tailgating on Rugby Road. Each taco, rice bowl, or wood-fired pizza you order helps a local business pay staff, source produce from Nelson County farms, and invest back into our vibrant downtown economy.
Food trucks are also a smart, eco-friendly swap for traditional craft-service buffets. Because meals are cooked to order in self-contained kitchens, you cut down on food waste, disposable chafing fuel, and the power drain of rolling in warming ovens. Many Charlottesville vendors compost through the McIntire Recycling Center and use plant-based service ware made right here in Virginia, giving your production a smaller carbon footprint in the shadow of the Blue Ridge Mountains.
So the next time you’re Googling “low-budget film catering Charlottesville” or “studio craft services near Monticello,” let Best Food Trucks roll up with a sustainable, locally owned solution that tastes as good as it feels.

We tried the sandwiches with bacon jam for the first time. The burger and chicken sandwiches were delicious!!! We tend to order the grilled cheese burger and the chicken bacon club. Now I won't know which sandwich to order next time!😁

I ordered the Cuban sandwich without mustard but it came loaded with mustard. The sandwich was cooked perfectly and the pork was delicious but had way to much mustard. Otherwise I would’ve given 5 stars in lieu of 4. 😊 The pulled pork sandwich was delicious.

Tacos El Poblanito did an excellent job catering my client’s picnic. They kept in constant communication throughout the day, which made everything run smoothly. My client said the food was delicious, and the guests all enjoyed it. I would definitely recommend them!

Pizza was still warm when I picked it up and had so much flavor. First time trying the veggie, it's a new fav.

Way too much sauce in the esquite that made it resemble more of a soup. I dumped out half the sauce so I could enjoy the corn more, but everything had good flavor.

The food, service, and support were incredible. They were so good that we wanted to add another day of rental for the next day at our production, but they were already booked. Will definitely work with them again.

I had the pork arepas and they were delicious! I also heard good reviews from our guests about the Cuban sandwich, empanadas, and mango street tacos too. It was very easy working with the owners and they did a great job of feeding our guests in a timely/orderly manner! I would definitely recommend their food truck to others.

Placed order at 520 for 530 opening. At 535 received a text saying order confirmed, ready in 20 min. At 555 (20 min later) received another text that it would be another 15 min. Too long to wait for a preorder. I also paid $1 extra for sauerkraut and did t get any. I also selected 2 different flavors of pierogis and only got 1. The food was good but the wait and incorrect order was frustrating
