Dine with us.
Two of South Austin's most-loved food trucks live at Ants Beer Cave in The Yard. Grab a hand-stretched pizza from The Pizza Den or an East Coast deli sammie from Knuckle Sandwich, order a bottle off the 250+ wall, and settle in on the patio or courtside.
Food truck sell-outs are rare, but they happen. Follow the trucks on Instagram for same-day updates.

FAQ.
Can I bring outside food into Ants Beer Cave?+
No need. Knuckle Sandwich and The Pizza Den are both on-site, and outside food isn't permitted due to health code.
Do you have vegetarian options?+
Yep. Knuckle's Caprese Sammie is fully vegetarian, and The Pizza Den's Cheese, White Pie, and Elote are all meat-free.
What are the food truck hours?+
Knuckle Sandwich runs lunch Sun/Tue-Thu (11am-3pm) and stays open later Fri-Sat until 8pm. The Pizza Den is dinner-focused: 4pm-9pm Mon-Wed, later Thu-Sat, and Sunday 12-8pm.
How do I know if they've sold out?+
It happens occasionally. Both trucks post same-day sell-out updates on Instagram: @knucklesandwich_atx and @thepizzaden.atx. When in doubt, check their stories.
Can I order takeout or pickup?+
Both trucks take orders through their Square sites. The Pizza Den is also on DoorDash and Uber Eats. There is no phone for either truck, so order online or at the window.
Are the trucks kid friendly?+
The trucks are, and the patio at Ants is a good hang for families in the afternoon. The bar itself is 21+ after certain hours, so plan an earlier visit if you're bringing kids.
