From the River Market down to the Country Club Plaza, Kansas Citians know great food when they taste it. Best Food Trucks brings that same passion to deli classics on wheels. Imagine biting into a stacked pastrami on rye or an Italian sub loaded with thin-sliced meats, crisp lettuce, and a splash of zesty dressing—without ever leaving your block in Kansas City.
Our curated fleet of deli food trucks is ready to roll up to Arrowhead for a Chiefs tailgate, park outside your Crossroads Arts District office for a lunchtime pop-up, or feed the crowd at your Westport backyard party. We pile on premium cold cuts, garden-fresh toppings, and house-made spreads, then round out the spread with chips, fries, or creamy KC-style slaw. Your guests will swear they’ve stepped into the neighborhood deli they grew up with—but instead, it’s arriving curbside!
Looking to add a melty twist to your deli lineup? Invite local favorite Cheesy Street to the party. Their grilled-to-order sandwiches ooze with artisan cheeses and pair perfectly with pickles and tomato soup shooters.

Tasty sandwich and soup. I pre ordered and received an email they would try to accommodate my scheduled pickup and was expecting a text when the order was ready but didn’t receive one. Upon going to the truck my order was handed to me immediately however.

Chicken had such great seasoning and flavor! Also the tortilla is cook not heated which is a big difference on how the flavor changes.

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.❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
