No city on earth takes sandwiches more seriously than Philadelphia.

We connect you with the best sandwich trucks across the region for corporate events in Center City, celebrations in the suburbs, and gatherings that demand real Philly flavor.
Philadelphia's Legendary Sandwich Styles for Your Event
Philly invented some of the most famous sandwiches in American food history. These are the styles that define the city.
Classic Cheesesteaks
The sandwich that put Philadelphia on the culinary map. Thinly shaved ribeye griddled to perfection on a seeded Amoroso roll with your choice of Whiz, provolone, or American. Our cheesesteak trucks bring the authentic South Philly experience to events across the region—no trip to Passyunk Avenue required.
Italian Hoagies
The Philadelphia hoagie is a masterpiece of cured meats, sharp provolone, shredded lettuce, tomato, onion, and oil on a fresh Italian roll. It's the sandwich that fuels lunchtime across the Delaware Valley. Our trucks serve hoagies built the Philly way—generous, properly dressed, and never called a 'sub.'
Roast Pork Italian
Philadelphia's best-kept secret and the sandwich that locals argue rivals the cheesesteak. Slow-roasted pork piled high with broccoli rabe and sharp provolone on a crusty Italian roll. This is the sandwich food writers fly to Philadelphia to eat, and our trucks bring it straight to your event.
Chicken Cutlet Sandwiches
Breaded and fried chicken cutlets stacked on fresh rolls with roasted peppers, sharp provolone, and long hots—a Philly lunch counter staple that translates perfectly to food truck service. Guests love the crunch and bold flavors that make these a neighborhood favorite from Fishtown to Manayunk.
Gourmet & Specialty Sandwiches
Philadelphia's creative sandwich scene goes far beyond the classics. Short rib melts, Korean BBQ cheesesteaks, truffle mushroom hoagies, and smoked brisket sandwiches bring chef-driven innovation to the food truck format. Perfect for events that want Philly roots with a modern twist.
Vegetarian & Plant-Based Sandwiches
Philly's sandwich trucks have embraced plant-based options with seitan cheesesteaks, roasted vegetable hoagies, and crispy eggplant parm subs that satisfy even devoted meat eaters. With the city's deep Italian-American roots, meatless sandwich options here are anything but an afterthought.
Why Event Planners Choose Food Trucks
The catering choice that delivers on taste and experience
Authentic Philly Sandwich Heritage
Philadelphia's sandwich culture is unmatched anywhere in the country. When you book a Philly sandwich truck, your guests get the real thing—cheesesteaks with proper technique, hoagies built on fresh rolls, and roast pork that's been slow-cooked for hours. That authenticity turns catering into an experience.
Crowd-Pleasing Guaranteed
Sandwiches are the ultimate universally loved food, and Philly does them better than anyone. From the executive who grew up eating hoagies on Passyunk to the out-of-town guest trying their first real cheesesteak, sandwich trucks deliver satisfaction rates that other cuisines simply cannot match.
Fast, Efficient Service
Sandwich trucks are built for volume. Skilled grill cooks and prep teams can serve hundreds of guests efficiently without sacrificing quality. Whether you're feeding a corporate lunch crowd in King of Prussia or a wedding reception in Old City, the line moves fast and the food stays hot.
Hassle-Free Event Catering
Share your event details and we handle the rest—matching you with available sandwich trucks, confirming menus, and coordinating logistics. Trucks arrive fully self-contained with flat-top grills, prep stations, and everything needed to serve. Your team stays focused on the event.
