Sometimes, food just tastes better when served from a truck. Maybe it's the novelty of it, maybe it's the appetite you build up while standing in a long line, or maybe it's just all that fresh air around you. Whatever it is, we can't deny that St. Louis has many food trucks worth seeking out. From Food Truck Friday to CityGarden and every food truck hot spot in between, here are 20 local trucks you should stalk to get a meal on wheels.

Pi is at your service -- and not just at its brick and mortar locations. In fact, Pi on the Spot was the first food truck to grace St. Louis. Photo by Elizabeth Semko.

Of course, you can indulge in Pi's salads and signature deep dish, but the food truck recently started serving Pi's excellent thin-crust pizza as well. Photo by Laura Ann Miller.

Lulu's Local Eatery

Guess what: healthy, organic food can taste amazing. (Gasp!) Husband and wife team Robert Tucker and Lauren Loomis were inspired to create Lulu's Local Eatery while working on organic farms in New Zealand and Australia. Photo courtesy of Yelp / Adria Nicole W.

The pair bought their adorable food truck, and two years later found a permanent residence at their South Grand storefront. But you can still enjoy items from the food truck -- and know you're consuming local, fresh and sustainable ingredients. Just get a load of those vegan nachos! Photo courtesy of Yelp / Marcia P.

Angie Burger

This food truck was the newbie on the block last spring. According to Sauce, owner Angie Saville bought the truck from former Chop Shop STL owner Elliot Harris in December 2015. Photo by Elizabeth Semko.

Saville won Anheuser-Busch's first-ever Bud & Burgers event in July 2015. She used her prize money to buy the truck -- and judging from the line at events like Food Truck Friday, it got off to a great start. Photo courtesy of Instagram / tlbogow.

Cha Cha Chow

Tacos are the focus for this food truck -- but they're anything but typical. You can find items such as a lobster taco, beef short rib taco and chicken verde taco. Photo by Elizabeth Semko.

And if that doesn't have you convinced, did we mention that Cha Cha Chow has been RFT's winner for best food truck before? Photo by Jennifer Silverberg.

Craving a taste of New Orleans? Completely Sauced is the place to go. The menu features several po'boys, traditional dishes such as jambalaya, and occasional seasonal offerings like the shrimp and crawfish étouffée. Photo by Elizabeth Semko.

You can get a taste of the Hill neighborhood on wheels with Slice of the Hill, a Tuscan-inspired food truck featuring ingredients from St. Louis' Italian neighborhood. Photo by Elizabeth Semko.

Choose from delicious pizzas, including the St. Louis style (think: marinara, volpi Pepperoni, bacon, a blend of Italian and parmesan cheese and thin crust), pizza carbonara and the classic pepperoni and sausage. Oh yeah, and there are salads, too. You know, if you're the kind of person who tries to eat healthy when ordering from a food truck. Photo courtesy of Instagram/ deeksfreak.

My Big Fat Greek Truck
@GreekTruckSTL

First, how can you not love that name? Second of all, there's no way you won't love this fresh, authentic Greek food. My Big Fat Greek Truck isn't open during the winter months, but it's definitely worth seeking out when spring rolls around. Photo courtesy of Instagram / ishtastic_3.

Since its launch as a truck in 2012, My Big Fat Greek Truck has expanded into a Fenton storefront under the name The Little Greek Corner. So whether you want to sit down with a gyro in the store or grab some baklava at the food truck while on the go, you'll have great Greek cuisine at your fingertips.

Mission Taco Truck
@MTJ_Mobile

Your favorite Mexi-Cali joint has a food truck, too. From fajita burritos to a barbecue duck taco, you never know what you'll find at Mission Taco Truck. Again, it's not open for the winter -- but that's an excuse to go to one of Mission Taco's restaurants. Photo by Elizabeth Semko.

Mission Taco Truck even makes something as simple as corn look amazing. No wonder it's so popular. Photo by Steve Truesdell.

Gioia's Deli
@HotSalamiTruck

You know a place is good when it's been in business since 1918. This staple on the Hill joined the food truck bandwagon in 2014, and even opened an additional location downtown in January 2016. Photo by Elizabeth Semko.

"We make our sandwiches your way," Gioia's menu declares -- which means you get to pick your sandwich in addition to the type of bread, cheese, garnishes and condiments. No matter which combo you choose, it's bound to be delicious. Photo by Mindee Zervas.
