The Rolling Pizza Oven is the mobile caterer you need for a slice of authentic Italian pizza. Their Valentino, for example, is a taste bash with salami, ham, bacon, fresh tomato, and mozzarella.
And, of course, their classic pepperoni is as legit as it gets. The cured pork and beef crowning this pizza offer gently savory flavors, while the kalamata olives and thinly sliced onions add fruity, smoky, and peppery notes.
For the salads, the insalata verde with cucumber, parmesan, and avocado is a green dream. Our vegetarians, however, prefer the Pomodoro, offering the tangy undertones of balsamic-dressed tomatoes with a stellar lineup of basil and olives.

What the Croque is a cool and chic mobile coffee van making waves in the catering and truck food scene with its French-inspired grub and bevvies.
Their breakfast menu has the “eggs your way” deal, where you can design your brekkie as you like it. For our team, it’s bacon, chipotle beans, and braised mushrooms for the win.
The standout is certainly the French toasty, or as they say, “croques.” Their beef ragu croque is the true MVP here—a warm, melty bite best paired with their wicked variety of drinks like tea, hot chocolate, chai, and milkshakes.
