Catering Lawrenceville Pittsburgh: Planning Your Event Order

Why early planning matters

Catering runs smoothly when the details are settled early. Large orders need at least 24 to 48 hours of notice, and weddings, rehearsal dinners, and corporate lunches often need more time to plan. Our catering covers lunches and meetings, weddings and rehearsal dinners, and private parties and birthdays, with halal and vegetarian options available. Start with the catering page to see what fits your event, then contact us with your date and headcount. Early notice also gives you room to adjust the headcount after RSVPs come in, which is a common reason orders change in the final week.

Choosing pickup or delivery

Pickup is always free. Our Lawrenceville location is at 3716 Butler St, Pittsburgh PA 15201, so you can plan a pickup around your office or home schedule. Delivery is available within a 10-mile radius for orders over $200. If you want full service with servers, contact us to discuss your needs. For a smaller office lunch, pickup usually keeps things simple. For a larger event across town, delivery can save your team time on the day of the event. If you are picking up, assign one person to collect the order and check it against your list before guests arrive.

Planning the event in Lawrenceville

Lawrenceville is a dense neighborhood, and parking and building access can take extra time on a busy day. Confirm the address, the entrance the caterer should use, and the name of the person receiving the order. If the event is in a shared building, check whether a building manager needs to approve a delivery window. Our service area covers Allegheny County, including Lawrenceville, Downtown Pittsburgh, Oakland, Shadyside, Squirrel Hill, the Strip District, Bloomfield, East Liberty, North Shore, and South Side, so the same planning steps apply across these neighborhoods. Share your location details when you request a quote so the plan starts right. If guests will serve themselves, decide early whether you need chafing dishes, serving spoons, and a table with enough space for the food.

Coordinating the order and the day

A clear order sheet prevents most day-of problems. Send us these details:

• Event date, start time, and the time food should be ready
• A headcount estimate, plus how many guests are vegetarian, vegan, or gluten-free
• Serving style, such as buffet, boxed lunches, or a shared platter setup
• Setup and cleanup needs, and whether you need serving utensils
• Your contact name and phone number for the day

As a common starting point, many planners allow about 6 to 8 ounces of cooked food per guest for a full meal, then adjust for sides and appetite. Our menu includes gluten-free vegan falafel, pita wraps that contain gluten, garlic (toum) sauce, a Lebanese salad, and baklava for dessert. Review the menu together so your guests have clear choices. Confirm the arrival window with your venue, label dietary options so guests can find them quickly, and call (412) 251-1279 with any questions about your Lawrenceville event.
