Denver has been celebrated for its various riches since its foundation in 1858, when settlers on the quest for gold discovered this gorgeous land near the foot of the Rocky Mountains. Lush with natural beauty, surrounded by bountiful farmlands, and abuzz with culture, sports mania and nightlife, it’s no surprise that the Mile High City of today also boasts an unparalleled food truck scene.

Best Food Trucks in Denver

This Wild West town is home to an impressive number of breweries, as well as America’s most fit and active citizens. Since beer is basically street food’s best friend and since you’ve really gotta sustain yourself when you’re burning all those calories, the demand here is high for fresh, hearty and healthy gourmet eats made with local ingredients. Well, guess what’s on the menu at many of Denver’s best food trucks.

Farm to Truck exclusively uses sustainable, locally grown and raised vegetables and meats, including chicken from Boulder Natural Meats and Ralston Valley Beef, to craft their selection of comfort food specialties like BLTs with thick-cut Tender Belly bacon, pesto, arugula, Colorado tomatoes and garlic aioli, Lamb Burgers with Long’s Peak lamb, fried onions, goat cheese and mint aioli, Evergreen Hempseed Burgers, and several other mouthwatering cravings that pair perfectly with any cold brew.

Many outdoorsy Denverites appreciate a switch-up in the routine, which makes J Street Food Truck such a favorite.

All the while, you’ll be grateful that your feet are planted by this this Queen City classic.

If you could go for something light and delectable, Yatai Food Cart is worth a visit for its customizable selection of sushi hand rolls with fresh seafood and premium ingredients.

Pizza Trucks

This classic Italian dish is a beloved prize everywhere you go. In Denver, where toppings are often sourced from the finest local farms and purveyors, the passion for pizza is especially robust.

They offer limitless possibilities for customization, with a vast variety of crusts, cheeses, meats, and sauces to choose from. Keeping with the theme of infinite potential and overall goodness, every iPie sold helps to fund scholarships and charitable donations to better serve the local community.

Stokd Pizza is a unique food truck in that it manages to contain a massive Italian-style wood fired oven. The crust’s open flame-taste transports you to a peaceful evening beside a crackling bonfire in the scenic Colorado outdoors. The gourmet toppings range from classic to creative, with options like prosciutto and fig, giving you an all the more unforgettable meal.

The blazing Wheels on Fire truck also specializes in that perfect bubbling cheese and flame-kissed Neapolitan-style pizza. To ensure that everyone gets fed the best, they offer plenty of gluten-free, dairy-free, and vegetarian options. Yet another reason that when it comes to pizza in Denver, the bar has been raised so Rocky Mountain-high.
