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.
