Chicago's Favorite Pizza Styles for Your Next Event
Chicago's pizza culture is legendary—and our trucks represent every style the city is known for. These are the pies that define Chicago.
Deep Dish & Chicago-Style
Chicago invented deep dish, and our pizza trucks bring that thick, buttery crust with layers of cheese and chunky tomato sauce to your event. Best Food Trucks' Chicago options roll up with ovens that crank out deep-dish in minutes. It's the pizza style that put Chicago on the culinary map.
Tavern-Style Thin Crust
True Chicagoans know tavern-style—crispy, cracker-thin crust cut into squares (party cut), not slices. This is the everyday pizza of Chicago, served at neighborhood joints for decades. Pizza trucks deliver this authentic local style that visitors often overlook.
Wood-Fired Neapolitan
Billy Bricks on Wheels brings mobile wood-fired pizza to Illinois events. Da Pizza Dude delivers authentic slices. For guests who prefer lighter, charred-crust pies, Chicago's wood-fired trucks offer the Neapolitan experience alongside local styles.
Chicago Signature Creations
Kissed By Fire's Chicago Gangsta Pizza tops smoked pork shoulder, bacon, sausage, roasted garlic, red onion, and giardiniera on their pies—a uniquely Chicago combination. Local trucks create signature pies that reflect the city's bold food culture.
Italian Beef Pizza
Only in Chicago—Italian beef and giardiniera as pizza toppings. Best Food Trucks partners with local favorites who create Chi-Town-inspired combinations. These creative pies honor Chicago's broader Italian-American food traditions.
Classic Crowd-Pleasers
From cheese and pepperoni to sausage and mushroom, Chicago trucks deliver familiar favorites done right. Five Squared Pizza and others serve classic pies with quality ingredients. Every event needs options that everyone recognizes and loves.
