Blending bold Mediterranean flavors with Latin American influences, Byz. Empire is shaking up the Philadelphia food truck scene. This isn’t your average street fare—the menu is stacked with creative eats that pack serious flavor and keep foodies coming back for more. From hearty sandwiches and sliders to fresh salads and shareable appetizers, every bite is crafted with care and a unique twist you won’t find anywhere else.

Highlights include the Da Uni, a grilled chicken sandwich layered with melty mozzarella, roasted red peppers, and a chipotle aioli drizzle, and the Empire Chicken Platter, featuring oven-roasted chicken smothered in gravy with a side of seasoned roasted potatoes. If you’re looking to snack, go for loaded fries or crispy empanadas. But whatever you do, don’t miss the So Truc*ing Guda—a sweet-and-savory masterpiece of smoked gouda, bacon, and green apple on fresh rye. Whether you catch the truck on the streets of Philly or book it to cater your next event, Byz. Empire food truck catering delivers an experience worth seeking out.
