How we pick these caterers

This list is alphabetical, not ranked, and no caterer paid to be on it. We look for Pittsburgh restaurants and catering companies that publish a real catering menu, handle drop-off or delivery for groups, and come up again and again when local offices talk about who they order from.

Pricing, minimums, lead times and delivery areas come from each caterer's own website and were last checked in October 2026. Of the 15 listed, 4 publish pricing and 5 state a lead time. If a detail is missing, the caterer doesn't publish it. Confirm before you order. Spot something wrong or missing? Email us.

Office catering in Pittsburgh: what to expect

Pittsburgh's office demand has thinned out but it hasn't gone away. Metro vacancy was 17.4% in the third quarter of 2026, and Downtown averaged 39,299 daily employees at the end of 2024, down from about 70,000 before the pandemic. PNC calling remote staff back five days a week to its Downtown headquarters should help. The big buyers are still health care and universities: UPMC has 53,000 local workers and Pitt has 13,643. For Downtown and the North Shore, Giovanni's sits in the Cultural District and The Fluted Mushroom delivers from the South Side. All India is on Craig Street in North Oakland, Common Plea runs workplace dining out of Lawrenceville, and Waterfall delivers weekday office meals from Robinson Township and Coraopolis.

Only four of these caterers post real prices. Cooked Goose charges $12.95 per person for boxed lunches, Giovanni's packages run $14 to $18.49 with drinks included and a 10 person minimum, Remo's bento boxes are $18.75 to $19.50 with a 15 guest minimum, and Dos Reyes prices half pans that feed 20 to 25 at $80 to $200. Cooked Goose's minimum is unclear, since its lunch page says 30 guests and its FAQ says 10. Lead times range from 15 hours at All India to 48 hours at Jaden's and 48 to 72 at Cooked Goose. If you want to order online, use Giovanni's, Cooked Goose, Bistro To Go or Elegant Edge, or Atria's through ezCater. Common Plea, Waterfall, Pittsburgh Fresh and Dos Reyes start with a form.

A few local details change the final bill. Allegheny County sales tax is 7%, and both Remo's and Giovanni's add it to the total. Remo's also adds a 17% service fee on delivery orders, which need a $400 minimum, and 22% for full service. Cooked Goose adds 15% plus labor for full service, and Jaden's adds an 18% gratuity when servers come along. Giovanni's delivers free within 20 miles, while Waterfall only delivers weekdays from 7am to 2pm. Tamarind is full service only, with on-site dosa and chaat stations. Dos Reyes wants a 50% deposit.
