San Diego Catering
by Elijah's Deli

Standard orders need 24 hours' notice. Need it sooner? Call or text (858) 353-5528 and we'll tell you if we can make it work. For large events like Thanksgiving, holiday parties, or Bar Mitzvahs, we recommend booking 2–4 weeks in advance. The sooner the better — especially around the holidays when we fill up fast.
