We partner with the top mobile kitchens in the Twin Cities, bringing wood-fired pizzas, silky pastas, and crowd-pleasing cannoli straight to your block party, wedding, or corporate lunch outside Target Field.

Italian cuisine’s trademark of simple, high-quality ingredients shines even brighter when it rolls up curbside, and Minneapolis knows good curbside eats.

Our local lineup features fan favorites like The Cave Cafe, dishing out rich red-sauce classics and scratch-made gnocchi, and PIZZA KARMA, whose tandoor-fired crust adds a global spin to traditional Margherita and Chicken Tikka pies. Craving variety? Sandy’s Grill and Italian Ice can round out the menu with Midwest comfort staples and a frosty scoop of Italian ice for dessert. Sweet tooth still not satisfied? Invite Youniversewaffles for premium waffle creations or cool things down with Kurbside Food Co. and their shaved-ice treats.

Pizza was very good. Not too much cheese or sauce. Good crust. Dough wasnt soft and chewy or hard and crispy, but right in the middle. Gentlemen working the food truck were nice and professional. Service was faster than expected. Exactly what I look for from any food truck. Will be returning and will be recommending people to try out this food truck.

District Small Bites staff was on time, professional and personable. The food was a hit for our End of Summer Employee Appreciation Event. Everyone that tasted the food had nothing but good things to say. Our valued team members enjoyed the food. We hope to find the opportunity to do another event in the future.
