Imagine your guests savoring wood-fired Margherita pizza while watching the sunset turn the Santa Ritas pink, or twirling forkfuls of al dente fettuccine between salsa lessons at Hotel Congress. With a food truck kitchen parked on-site, those Old World aromas turn any Tucson venue into Little Italy on wheels.

Best Food Trucks maintains the largest network of Italian food trucks in Southern Arizona. From intimate backyard gatherings of 30 in Oro Valley to 2,000-person festivals downtown, we’ll match you with the right truck, handle permitting with the City of Tucson, and schedule service times so everything flows smoother than extra-virgin olive oil.

And because a true Italian feast isn’t complete without something sweet, you can easily add a local dessert truck to the lineup. Treat your guests to organic açaí bowls from Purple Tree Organic Acai Blends, over-the-top pastries from Pin-Up Pastries Street Kitchen & Desserts, or authentic, family-made gelato from Bella's Gelato Shoppe.

One of the pizza's was perfect but the cheese pizza was burned in the bottom which made the pizza taste bad . We follow the truck and have never had this happen.

Definitely the best Weiner I've had in my mouth while being sober. 😜 Fries were on point as well. This is def one of the best trucks in your arsenal!!!

Burgers are always delicious, lettuce and tomato always fresh and fries never greasy. We also love the toasted buns. It especially helps with the gluten-free buns. Without toasting, they tend to fall apart.

The jerk chicken taco and vegan carnitas taco were both so good and fresh. The service at the truck was very friendly and quick.

I ordered the wings, which were good. I ordered a double batch to share with coworkers. Each one was short, a wing which the owner apologized for. Only one box had dipping sauce. He did supplement with cheesy breadsticks, which were delicious.

Crepes were good even though we waited 1.5 hours and got 2 desserts and one savory. I had to eat the dessert crepe as my main meal and would have preferred the savory one that I ordered. Truck was overwhelmed with orders and needs a better system. The lady in the window was nice and did her best to help everyone.
