  • Interactive Experience: Watch pizzas slide into a 900-degree oven or see pasta twirled to order—entertainment and dinner in one.

And if some of your guests crave a different flavor profile, our marketplace makes it simple to book additional local favorites like Bawking Chicken, Churro Bureau Inc., The Churro Truck, Camarones Picositos El Chucky, or the fusion-forward Fuego Me Up! right alongside your Italian option.

The food was AMAZING! I hosted a pre-wedding get together for out of town family and friends and hired Savage Tacos to provide food. Everyone had nothing but great things to say about the food and the crew was so friendly and accommodating when people went back for seconds or even thirds. Awesome experience and will definitely be using them again when I need another food truck!

Kind and warm personality. Seemed like sandwich needed something like lettuce or vegetables and light seasoning. Very skinny sandwich but overall great. 4.5 is outstanding rating! Salad was superb.

Everything was great, but the cannolis were empty in the middle. They were tasty though, just wish they were filled more.
