Big Green Truck Pizza 

5.0

New Haven, CT
  • Starts at $1,300

Welcome to Big Green Truck Pizza! For more than 20 years, we have delighted customers all over Connecticut with delicious pizza served in an attractive, fun atmosphere. Our specially outfitted trucks are genuine antiques equipped with wood-fired brick ovens, tables, and all the ingredients needed to bring a buffet of New Haven pizza to your backyard. We pride ourselves on the quality, variety, and convenience of our pizza, and specialize in bringing a fun, professional atmosphere to every occasion.

We had a great time working with the folks at Big Green Truck Pizza for our June 2025 wedding! We had about 90 guests with a variety of dietary needs, and the BGT team was very accommodating and helpful. It was very hot that day, but the team was so kind and understanding. Pizza was delicious, salad was fresh, and the gelato was such a treat (I particularly loved the blood orange one). Sad that Next Door (their brick & mortar restaurant) is closed, but so happy that people can still enjoy their lovely food. Thank you, BGT! Photo credit: Ken Yotsukura

Old World Pizza Truck 

5.0

New Haven, CT
  • Starts at $2,000

We started Old World Pizza Truck with our beloved old '42 Chevy, built and designed with a passion for entertaining and food in mind. Our fleet consists of four international diesel trucks, ready to serve both local and long range parties all across Connecticut, parts of New York, and Massachusetts. All trucks have basically the same equipment including powerful sound systems for those of you that like music at your affairs. They all are self sufficient with onboard generators, coolers, freezers and running water. No matter which truck is sent, the total experience is the same- great food, great music, lots of fun and unsurpassed service!

The amount of compliments I have received on the food at my wedding is too many to count! My only complaint is that I didn’t get to try more pizzas! We booked Old World Pizza Truck for dinner service and cocktail hour charcuterie and boy did they deliver. Even the skeptics (“pizza at your wedding?!”) came back to tell us what a phenomenal and unique meal it was. To quote one of my guests, “That pizza truck was genius. Did I tell you that the dessert pizza with peanut butter, jelly and bacon made my list of best things I’ve ever eaten that sounds completely disgusting?” Would book 10x over. Better than a 150 mediocre plated dinner by a mile.

Chef Ellen & her staff were amazing. My sisters & I were planning an 80th birthday dinner for 20-30 people at an AirBNB rental property we had never been to before and was 500 miles from our home. Chef Ellen's expertise and thoughtful consideration of numerous planning items we had not yet considered, helped us to plan a fantastic event. Working with Chef Ellen to develop our menu was a fun collaborative process and she was able to accomodate several allergy restrictions. Chef Ellen's food was delicious. We have some finicky eaters in our bunch and she did a wonderful job navigating several precise requests about food & meat preparations on the spot from the birthday guest. All our guests remarked on how wonderful the food was, but our greatest delight was how Chef Ellen and her staff incorporated the eager curiosity of our 4 kids age 5 -12. On the spot, Chef Ellen focused and incorporated their eager energy into circulating appetizers - teaching them precisely how to carefully carry each kind of tray and each type of appetizer. It was her willingness to incorporate the kids (we had not discussed or even imagined this until the kids invaded the kitchen!) in such a productive, educational, and thoughtful manner that had us & all our guests delighted. Our kids will carry this happy memory for a lifetime. We expected good food and we got it, but Chef Ellen also brought a kind spirit to our gathering that I believe is a truly rare find in this business. We could not recommend her food and her service more highly.

We had On the Border cater for our wedding, and I highly recommend them!! The servers arrived early to deliver, set up, serve, and tear down the food. Our guests loved the steak & chicken fajitas, queso, chips & salsa, rice, beans, drinks, and sopapillas. We had 100 guests, and the pricing for On the Border was reasonable for the delicious food. Lisa Wood was our catering sales associate, and she was extremely helpful! The entire wedding planning process is stressful, but she was always available to answer questions, and made numerous changes to our order/contract based on my requests. The servers were professional, and we thought it was kind of them to pack up the leftovers for us to take home. I would absolutely book On the Border for future events!

Awarded Best of Zola
Okay, so let me start by saying I never write reviews. This is probably the first one I’ve ever written, but I just had to because Italiana Foods honestly deserves it. I got married on August 30th in Southampton with about 250 guests. I was born and raised in Queens, and my husband’s family is from Italy , half from the North and half from the South so you can imagine the pressure I felt finding a catering that would impress everyone, especially my new Italian family! One of my coworkers told me about Italiana Foods after she tried their food at another wedding, saying it was “something totally different from anything you’ll find around here.” So I reached out about 8 months before our date, and from the very first call, Lucia was so sweet, friendly, and professional. She explained everything clearly and helped me build the perfect menu that balanced both families’ tastes. We did tastings with 5 different caterers in the area, and honestly… once we tried Italiana Foods, we knew. My coworker was right the food was on another level. Fast forward to the wedding day  I was a nervous wreck, literally having a mini meltdown because I wanted everything perfect. Lucia called me the day before and gently told me to just enjoy my day and stop worrying because she’d be there personally to make sure everything went smoothly. And she was 100% right. The day was pure magic. The food was incredible fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. Both my family and my husband’s family were blown away (especially his relatives from Italy, which says a lot!). Everywhere I looked, people were smiling, eating, and truly enjoying themselves. To the whole Italiana Foods team the 10 amazing waiters, the bartenders, and lucia herself thank you from the bottom of my heart for making our wedding day unforgettable. I’ll absolutely be calling you again for any future events. From my family to yours grazie!

As a designer & curator of beautiful things, On Board was created with the premise that simple foods can look like an edible work of art. Our stunning charcuterie grazing tables aren’t just pretty…they’re something that everyone will be talking about. As a small business owner & mother of two children getting married, I understand the stressors that can go along with wedding planning. I pride myself on the excellent communication & customer service you will receive, as this is a partnership. Not only will you be completely satisfied with the outcome, you will feel confident about your choice to GET ON BOARD WITH US every step of the way.

From the very beginning, working with On Board CT was a true pleasure. The communication style of the owner, Jackie, was professional, warm, and thorough - she listened intently to our needs and wishes for my niece's engagement party and delivered exceptional service. The quality of their work and value was truly top-notch; no stone was left unturned in ensuring the event was a huge success. Jackie was amazingly detailed, articulate, and genuinely cared about making our special day perfect. The custom charcuterie boards she created were beautiful and perfectly suited our event. I would highly recommend On Board CT to any couple or family looking for a caterer that will go above and beyond to make your wedding or event unforgettable.

The Crafted Cook 

5.0

  • Starts at $1,000
  • Serves New Haven, CT

I’ve gained passion for crafting up a sharp cheese board and catching some sunshine! I grew up in a family where food was plentiful, the focal point of any gathering or celebration and knowing you would never leave hungry. My passion for food and the culture behind it began when I was 6, working in my family’s deli, and that’s when I learned why food was a necessity to a gathering, celebration or corporate event (no matter the guest count). Customers faces gleamed when they knew eggplant parm was a special, or could walk in and smell a fresh pot of sauce was being made. It's now my passion for my clients to be gleaming too.

The Crafted Cook was amazing! From start to finish, the communication to the food display was so great! We hired them for our private back yard wedding and can’t wait for future parties! We had a graze for 50 guests and there was absolutely nothing left! Months later, our guests still talk about our cocktail hour and how that was the star of the show! Run, don’t walk, to book them for any of your future parties or events! Thank you for making our day so special!
