Hot, Customizable Meals for Your Des Moines Studio Crew
Whether you’re shooting a commercial along the scenic banks of the Des Moines River or filming a feature near the Pappajohn Sculpture Park, Best Food Trucks makes studio food truck catering in Des Moines simple and delicious. We’ve spent years keeping film crews on schedule, and we know how fast-paced production days on Grand Avenue or in the East Village can be. Our team designs rotating daily menus that keep cast and crew excited for every break, while our streamlined online ordering system ensures meals are hot and ready the moment the director yells “Cut!”
From scouting the perfect parking spot outside your soundstage to vetting every vendor for permits and insurance, we handle the logistics so you can focus on the shot list. Craving authentic Mexican flavors? Bring in local favorites like Tacos Degollado, Tacos La Barca D.C., Ninas Tacos, or Taqueria La Esperanza. Need plant-based power for that late-night scene in Valley Junction? Veggie Thumper has you covered. We’ll provide a detailed cost analysis that fits your budget and reduces waste—because fewer discarded clamshells mean greener sets for everyone in Polk County.
Put Des Moines’ best food trucks to work for your production and see why local producers trust Best Food Trucks for reliable, mouth-watering studio catering. One call and mealtime becomes the easiest part of your shooting schedule.
Supporting Des Moines’ Small Businesses—One Food Truck at a Time
Booking studio food truck catering in Des Moines does more than fill your crew’s stomachs—it keeps the Heartland’s entrepreneurial spirit alive. Nearly every truck we roll onto a set in Sherman Hill, Beaverdale, or the Market District is owned by a local family or a first-time restaurateur who got their start at the Downtown Farmers’ Market. Your order helps those neighbors pay staff, source produce from Iowa farms, and reinvest right back into the Greater Des Moines economy.
Food trucks are also a smart, eco-friendly alternative to traditional craft-services tables. Because they cook to order, trucks use less electricity and water, and the Metro Waste Authority’s composting guidelines make it easy to keep single-use items out of the landfill. Fewer chafing dishes, more fresh meals—exactly what a green set on Fleur Drive or in the East Village calls for.
So the next time you Google “low-budget film catering near me” or “studio food truck catering Des Moines,” remember that Best Food Trucks delivers flavor, speed, and social responsibility in one package. Drop us a line and turn your lunch break into a boost for local business and the environment.

We ordered the Chili Chicken Pizza, Pepperoni Pizza, and an order of wings. Everything was delicious

The Buffalo Chicken Pizza was perfect and the Pepperoni with Bell Pepper was good. I personally had a problem with my veggie pizza, but it is really my fault because I guess the veggie pizza comes with Truffle Oil on it and either I didn't see that or I don't like Truffle Oil. So really the truck gets a 5.

It was fresh and delicious and phenomenal value at $15. I'll definitely eat there again next time they're at Peabody.

The pizza taste great but the picture made them look bigger than the pie was and I didn't know I would have order a few more because they were small.

Nashville bourbon cheesesteak.. delicious only suggestion to put queso sauce in a separate container so the bread won't get soggy.

. The boneless wings and fries were really good but the kids burger barely had a meat patty on it. It was almost eating just bread. I know it's a kids burger but it still costs like 9 dollars.
