Italian Food Truck Catering in New Orleans
Planning a wedding under the oaks in City Park, a corporate mixer on Poydras Street, or a tailgate outside the Superdome? Best Food Trucks makes Italian food truck catering in New Orleans easy, delicious, and unforgettable. Our local team lives and breathes the Crescent City food scene, so we know exactly which rolling kitchens can turn your event into a true “la dolce vita” on wheels.
New Orleans may be famous for gumbo and po-boys, but locals also crave crisp-edged margherita pizza, creamy shrimp & pancetta Alfredo, and beignets dusted with espresso sugar. Bringing an Italian food truck to your party lets guests savor those flavors street-festival-style—think Jazz Fest vibes with a dash of Little Italy. From the French Quarter to the Bywater, a mobile wood-fired oven or fresh-pasta rig creates mouthwatering aromas that drift through the crowd like a brass-band second line.
Best Food Trucks maintains the largest network of New Orleans Italian food trucks and pop-up vendors. Whether you’re feeding 30 coworkers in the CBD or 3,000 revelers on Mardi Gras Day, we’ll match you with the perfect truck, handle permits, coordinate service windows, and keep the line moving faster than a St. Charles streetcar.
Why book Italian catering with a truck? It’s interactive, Instagram-worthy, and totally turnkey—no rental kitchens or chafing dishes required. Guests watch chefs toss dough, shave parmesan, and twirl pasta right in front of them. You get hot, restaurant-quality plates served at peak freshness while you relax and laissez les bon temps rouler.
Looking to mix things up with additional local flavor? We can also roll in beloved NOLA favorites like Creole Tomateaux, Kenny's Cajun & Creole Cuisine on the Geaux, the iconic Diva Dawg Food Truck, smoke-house specialist NeauxLA RolLA, or Latin standout La Cocinita NOLA to build a multi-cuisine lineup that keeps every guest happy.
When you need top-notch Italian food truck catering in New Orleans, choose the pros who know the streets from Tchoupitoulas to Tremé. Contact Best Food Trucks today and let us match you with the city’s best Italian wheels—because in New Orleans, the party (and the pasta) never stops.
Skip the line—laissez les bon temps rouler!
At any New Orleans celebration, the music is loud, the laughs are louder, and nobody wants to waste a beat standing in a food line. Best Food Trucks’ online ordering system lets your guests dive straight into the party while their favorite Italian dishes are fired up curb-side. With a couple of taps on their phone, they can order a piping-hot slice of wood-fired margherita or a bowl of shrimp & pancetta Alfredo, then stroll back to the brass-band second line. A text alerts them when their food is ready—no more hovering by the truck or shouting over trombones.
Hosting a wedding in City Park, a Saints watch party in Mid-City, or a corporate soirée in the Warehouse District? Send a pre-order link so attendees can choose a precise pickup time before, during, or after the event. Our seamless system keeps the flow smooth, the courtyard clear, and the focus on fun.
Online ordering paired with Italian food truck catering in New Orleans means you get restaurant-quality plates, zero hassle, and a presentation as polished as the beads on St. Charles Avenue. The city’s top event planners trust Best Food Trucks to make their gatherings look effortless—now you can too. From first toast to last cannoli, we keep the party (and the pasta) rolling.

There were plenty of olives (the add-on) this time, as a higher concentration of meat, which led to a stronger flavor throughout. Thanks!

Everything was great but no one knew they could get a cookie, the sign for the type of pizza's and the cookie was not very visible. The team did a great job, food was hot and delicious (salad very good). We had some happy campers.

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.
