When to Book

Recommended lead time
15–30 days before your event

The further ahead you book, the more trucks you'll have to choose from. Planning ahead is the best way to secure your top pick.

That said, shorter timelines work too—we book events just days out all the time. You'll just have fewer options to choose from.

Busy seasons: Spring and Fall are our most popular times in Phoenix, so booking early gives you the best selection.

Venue & Setup Requirements

Usually self-contained
Most trucks bring their own power and water. Confirm any hookups with Gelu Italian Ice when you book.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can't find the answer you're looking for? Reach out to our team.

What does Gelu Italian Ice serve?
Gelu Italian Ice serves Dessert.Most servings run about $10 before tax. The full menu with current prices is above.
Is there a minimum order or guest count?
Yes, Gelu Italian Ice has a minimum order of $625, which works out to roughly 63 servings at this menu's prices. This minimum covers essential costs including food preparation, staffing, travel to your Phoenix location, and setup time. For smaller gatherings, consider the attendee-pay option where guests purchase their own meals.
What is included in the catering price?
Your quote from Gelu Italian Ice includes food preparation, serving supplies (plates, utensils, napkins), the truck's staff, setup and breakdown, and travel within the Phoenix service area. The per-serving prices on this page already include Food Truck Club's service fee; sales tax is added and the complete total is shown before you confirm.
How far in advance should I book Gelu Italian Ice?
Fifteen to thirty days gives you the best shot at your first-choice date, and shorter timelines work too. Food trucks in Phoenix book up fastest in spring and fall, and events with 100+ guests benefit from a little extra notice for menu planning and staffing.
What types of events does Gelu Italian Ice cater?
Recent bookings through Food Truck Club include a 200-guest apartment community event in Phoenix (May 2026). Corporate lunches, employee appreciation days, community festivals, school and university events, and private celebrations around Phoenix are all bookable from this page.
Where does Gelu Italian Ice serve?
Gelu Italian Ice is based in Phoenix, AZ and takes bookings across Maricopa and Pinal Counties. Travel inside that area is part of the quote; for a venue outside it, submit the request and the truck will confirm whether it can make the trip.
Do you offer vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, or allergy-conscious options?
Gelu Italian Ice lists vegan options, gluten-free options, vegetarian options, dairy-free options and halal options on its profile. Include a count for each in your booking request so the truck preps enough, and flag any allergies at the same time.
Do I need to provide any utilities (power or water)?
Usually not. Most food trucks arrive with their own generator, water tank, and cooking equipment, so a flat, accessible parking spot of roughly 12 by 25 feet is all they need. Some trailers and dessert carts do run on an outlet, so mention what your venue offers and Gelu Italian Ice will confirm any hookups before the event.
What happens in case of bad weather or cancellation?
Rescheduling is the usual answer when weather turns, and we work with you and the truck to find a date. If the event has to be cancelled, the refund follows the cancellation policy above.
