12 Best Caterers in New Haven

“Tonight we celebrated the engagement of my son and his fiancée. Sixty friends and family gathered to laugh, share stories, tell jokes, and of course—eat like royalty. Seeing as it was St. Patrick’s Day weekend, what better way to celebrate than with something green… Big Green Truck Pizza, to be exact. Irish meets Italian—just like the happy couple we toasted. They rolled up in their vintage green International Harvester, custom-fitted with a wood-fired brick oven. Within an hour, they were cranking out perfectly charred, New Haven-style pizzas like a well-oiled machine. They started simple with a plain mootz. Then came pepperoni. Next up: sausage and broccoli rabe. And then the creativity kicked in—meatball and ricotta, artichoke hearts and goat cheese, buffalo chicken—you name it, they made it. Shrimp Fra Diavolo? Yup. That happened. Each pie was carefully crafted by Josh and masterfully handled by Bryan, the oven whisperer. He knew exactly where each pie was in the oven, when to rotate it, when to raise it up to char the top—like a parent watching their kids at the beach. He knew when it was time to pull ’em out and move on. Josh handled the dough like a pro—perfect shape, just the right amount of sauce, cheese distributed with precision. The ingredients were fresh and flavorful. The sauce? Bright and seasoned just right to let the tomatoes shine. The cheese? Grande mozzarella—velvety, melty, and pull-worthy. No one left hungry. I, however, may have overindulged. I felt like Mr. Creosote from Monty Python’s The Meaning of Life (IYKYK). Thankfully, there were no wafer-thin mints in sight. The night ended with espresso and gelato—the perfect finish to a perfect evening. If you’re looking for a killer pizza truck for your next party, I highly recommend Big Green Truck Pizza. Just make sure you bring your appetite… and stretchy pants.“

“The best pizza truck around! Our entire experience from the office booking the truck to the crew making and serving pizza was a pleasure. Rick is a rockstar. Amazing communication. He was professional and on point. He timed everything out perfectly. Donnie was a master on the oven and professional as well. The servers Lily and Tyler were also fantastic and very friendly. Thank you very much for having a part in making this a special day for us!“

“Great experience Not one complaint!!“

“This is my most favorite spot to grab breakfast and lunch. The entire staff, especially Jess is awesome. They treat you like family. Would recommend to everyone.“

“had our daughters baptism here this past Saturday. Everyone was happy with the food and desserts. The bartender was very professional. only thing I would change is the wines that they had out on the tables. Everyone that I had asked said they didn't like them. Had to bring our centerpieces right before the reception started, which made it difficult since we had to do it ourselves. They wouldn't allow us to drop it off and have their staff set it up which took time away from pictures. I used Amy Cakes from, their preferred vender list and the cake was amazing and beautiful. We used King Vincent for photos, which I'm still waiting to see pictures from. Hopefully we love them, but will update. I would definitely come back here again.“

“We just used Est Pizza for my daughters graduation party. They did a fantastic job. All the workers were very pleasant, the pizza was delicious. Great amount of variety! The frozen yogurt was the best frozen I ever had. I highly recommend using Est Pizza for you next event.“

“An absolutely fantastic spot in the heart of the East Rock area. This gem offers a diverse array of freshly prepared dishes, including chicken, crab cakes, soups, beans, vegetable quesadillas, coffee, bakery items, and more. The indoor seating area has a charming setup, creating a cozy atmosphere. Most of the food is made in-house, ensuring quality and freshness. The staff are incredibly friendly and welcoming, adding to the overall positive experience. It's perfect for morning breakfast, a quick lunch, or an early dinner, and they also serve beer and wine. Prices are reasonable, making it a great value for the quality offered. Highly recommended!“

“Finally, a coffee shop where the baristas are as excellent as their coffee. Great spot.“

“Delicious ice cream and milkshakes!“

“Hit the spot! Large portions“

“Tried this place the other day for the first time and had to go back. The pastry was 10/10 super delicious, fresh, handmade flavorful, and far from dried out like most places. ? Hard to find empanadas with cheese, and this place had them, and they were great! Super crunchy good amount of filling. Pork pincho had awesome flavor as well! Definitely recommend stopping by. Id love to eat at the outdoor patio someday. PS the best part, THIER PRICES!!! Can't beat em for the quality of food and friendly staff.“

“The food is amazing“
