Riverside's Favorite Pizza Styles for Your Event
The Inland Empire pizza truck scene offers authentic styles from around the world, all made fresh at your event.
Wood-Fired Neapolitan
Authentic Italian pizza with leopard-spotted crusts, baked in portable wood-fired ovens reaching 900°F. San Marzano tomatoes, fresh mozzarella, and basil create the classic Margherita—cooked in 90 seconds and served bubbling hot.
New York Style
Large, foldable slices with that perfect crispy-chewy crust. Classic pepperoni, cheese, and creative topping combinations that New Yorkers (and Riverside residents) crave. Perfect for events where guests want quick, satisfying slices.
California Gourmet
Creative pies featuring local and seasonal ingredients—think fig and prosciutto, roasted vegetable medleys, or truffle and mushroom. These elevated options impress at upscale events throughout the Inland Empire.
Detroit & Sicilian
Thick, rectangular pies with crispy, cheesy edges baked in blue steel pans. The focaccia-like crust and generous toppings satisfy guests who want something heartier than thin-crust options.
Custom Build-Your-Own
Interactive pizza experiences where guests choose their toppings and watch their personal pie get fired. Perfect for events where customization and engagement matter.
Specialty & Dessert Pizzas
Beyond savory—Nutella and strawberry, cinnamon sugar, or s'mores pizzas provide sweet finishes. Some trucks offer unique specialties like breakfast pizza or BBQ chicken that set your event apart.

Common Questions About Pizza Truck Catering in Riverside
What you need to know before booking.
What's included with Riverside pizza truck catering?
Most pizza trucks include a selection of signature pies (typically 3-5 varieties), plus the option for guests to customize. Some include salads and beverages. We'll confirm exactly what's included when you request quotes.
What's the typical cost to book a pizza truck in Riverside?
Most Riverside pizza trucks charge $15-25 per person, with minimums typically ranging from $1,000 to $2,000. Wood-fired trucks with authentic ovens tend toward the higher end. We'll provide quotes from multiple trucks for comparison.
How many guests can a pizza truck serve per hour?
Wood-fired pizza trucks can typically serve 50-75 guests per hour. For larger events, we can coordinate multiple trucks or supplement with pre-sliced options to keep wait times minimal.
Can pizza trucks accommodate dietary restrictions?
Yes. Most pizza trucks offer vegetarian and vegan options. Many can provide gluten-free crusts with advance notice. Let us know your requirements when requesting quotes and we'll match you with appropriate vendors.
Do wood-fired pizza trucks need special accommodations?
Wood-fired ovens produce significant heat, so outdoor locations or well-ventilated spaces work best. Trucks are self-contained but may need clearance from overhead structures. We'll confirm all requirements before your event.
What Inland Empire areas do pizza trucks cover?
Our pizza truck network serves the entire Inland Empire—Riverside, Corona, Ontario, Rancho Cucamonga, Fontana, San Bernardino, Moreno Valley, Temecula, and beyond. Most trucks are happy to travel throughout Riverside and San Bernardino counties. We'll include any travel fees in your quote.
Can pizza trucks serve at indoor Riverside venues?
Wood-fired pizza trucks require outdoor or very well-ventilated spaces due to heat and smoke. For indoor events at venues like the Riverside Convention Center, some trucks offer alternative oven setups or pre-fired service. We'll match you with the right solution for your venue.
What's the minimum order for pizza truck catering?
Most pizza trucks have minimums of $1,000-2,000, which typically covers 50-100+ guests. Premium wood-fired trucks with authentic ovens may have higher minimums. We'll find options that work for your guest count and Riverside event location.
How do pizza trucks handle large corporate events or weddings?
For events with 200+ guests at venues throughout the Inland Empire, we coordinate multiple pizza trucks or pair pizza with complementary food trucks. Wood-fired trucks cook quickly—90 seconds per pie—so even single trucks handle volume well with proper timing.
Can we request specific pizza styles or toppings for our event?
Most Riverside pizza trucks offer menu customization—special toppings, signature pies for your event, or themed pizzas. Some can accommodate dietary needs like vegan cheese or specific ingredient exclusions. Share your preferences when requesting quotes.
