Office Lunch Catering Pittsburgh: What to Know

How Office Lunch Catering Works

Office lunch catering means a restaurant prepares a lunch for your team and brings it to the office, or lets you pick it up. You choose the menu, the number of people, and the time, and the food arrives ready to serve. Pita My Shawarma is a Lebanese and Mediterranean restaurant in Lawrenceville, and we cater lunches and meetings for teams in Allegheny County. We offer halal and vegetarian options. Full-service catering with servers is available if your office needs staff on site.

Pick a Format That Fits Your Office

Most office lunches work well when guests can build a plate or wrap without waiting. Rice bowls over Lebanese rice are easy to portion and easy to eat at a desk or a conference table. Pita wraps are a familiar lunch option, but they contain gluten, so label them clearly. Our falafel wrap comes with tarator (sesame) sauce, and our garlic (toum) sauce adds a bold flavor for guests who like it. Lebanese salad and fresh vegetables give lighter options. See the full list on our menu page.

Cover Every Diet in the Room

Office lunches often include people with different diets, religious needs, and food preferences. Our chicken shawarma is listed as halal on our menu. Our falafel is gluten-free and vegan, and vegetarian guests can also choose house-made hummus, baba ganoush, and fresh vegetables. Ask the person placing the order to collect dietary needs ahead of time, then share the final list with us. Please confirm your own requirements before ordering, because every team has its own standards.

Plan the Timing Around Your Meeting Schedule

For large orders we ask for at least 24 to 48 hours notice, so schedule your lunch as soon as the meeting is on the calendar. Choose a time that gives your team enough room to eat before the next session. Share the headcount a day or two in advance if it may change. Keep food at safe temperatures until it is served, and do not leave perishable items out for long periods. A common food-safety guideline is to refrigerate or discard perishable food that has been out for more than two hours. If your team meets in a conference room, ask whether the food can be set up in a separate area so people can eat without interrupting the meeting.

Pickup is always free. For small teams or quick lunches, you can collect the order from 3716 Butler St in Lawrenceville. Delivery is available within a 10-mile radius on orders over $200. Our service area includes Allegheny County, such as Downtown Pittsburgh, the Strip District, North Shore, Oakland, and South Side. Our locations page has more details on where we are.

Pickup works well for small teams, since one person can collect the order and bring it back to the office. For a larger group, ask whether delivery fits your building and when the team will be ready to eat.

Questions to Ask Before You Order

• Do you have options for halal, vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free guests?
• How much notice do you need for our date and headcount?
• Is pickup or delivery better suited to our office?
• Are plates, utensils, and napkins included?
• Can you label dishes so guests can choose quickly?
• What is your process if the headcount changes on the day?
