Italian Food Truck Catering in Portland
Searching Portland’s vibrant streets—from the food-cart pods on SE Hawthorne to the summer concerts in Washington Park—for the perfect caterer for your wedding, corporate lunch, or Trail Blazers watch-party? Best Food Trucks has you covered. We specialize in tracking down the very best Italian food truck catering Portland has to offer and bringing it straight to your event.
Portlanders know good food when they taste it. The city’s love affair with handmade pasta, wood-fired pizza, and farm-fresh ingredients pairs perfectly with a mobile kitchen. Imagine a classic Margherita pie topped with Willamette Valley mozzarella, or a plate of creamy pesto gnocchi enjoyed beneath the twinkle lights of a Pearl District courtyard—this is Italian food truck catering done the PDX way.
Our local network includes favorites like ASH Woodfired, whose Neapolitan-meets-New-York sourdough pizzas are regularly spotted outside Base Camp Brewing and have become a staple at Portland block parties. Planning a multi-cuisine lineup? We can also roll in Portland legends such as Koi Fusion, Hummus Hummus, Tamale Boy, and Fatsos Cheketos to keep every guest happy.
Whether your guest list tops 20 or 2,000, our Portland catering team handles all the logistics—permits, parking plans, power hookups, and service flow—so you can focus on raising a glass of Oregon pinot. From Rose Festival celebrations along the Willamette River to company picnics at Mt. Tabor, we make Italian food truck catering simple, fun, and unmistakably Portland.

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