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.

Best Times to Book in Chicago

Plan around Chicago's seasons for the best experience

Wood-fired pizza trucks shine at outdoor events—the aromatic smoke and visible flames create memorable experiences. Perfect for backyard parties, corporate picnics, and lakefront weddings. Book 6-8 weeks ahead.

Ideal weather for pizza trucks as cooler temps make standing near hot ovens comfortable. Great for school events, fall festivals, and Bears tailgates. The heat from wood-fired ovens feels welcoming.

How far in advance should I book a pizza truck in Chicago?

For peak season (May-October), book 4-6 weeks ahead. Wedding season and summer festivals fill up quickly—book 6-8 weeks out for weekend dates. Winter events have more availability with 2-3 weeks notice typically sufficient. Popular trucks like Billy Bricks may need longer lead times.

What's the minimum guest count for pizza truck catering?

Most pizza trucks require 50-100 guests minimum for on-site service, with dollar minimums typically $800-2,500. Deep dish service may have higher minimums due to longer cooking times. For smaller gatherings, some trucks offer delivery or pickup options at lower minimums.
