Simple process

How Pasta Catering Works

Fast, simple and reliable. We have been delivering catering across San Diego since 2001.

Placing a catering order online on a laptop
01
Call, Text or Request a Quote

Call or text our catering line at (858) 353-5528 or send the quote form. Tell us your date, time, address, guest count and which pasta, sauce and add-ons you want. Standard orders need 24 hours' notice; if you need it sooner, call or text and we will tell you if we can make it work.

02
We Cook It Fresh

Pasta is cooked the day of your event and sauced just before it leaves the kitchen so it arrives hot. Lasagna and ziti trays come out of the oven for your delivery window, and salads travel chilled.

Delivered & Set Up

We deliver within a 15-minute window and set everything out in serving order: salad, pasta, proteins, garlic bread, dessert. Plates, napkins, cups and serving utensils are included. Metal chafing dishes are available on request for an additional charge.


Why San Diego chooses us

San Diego's Budget-Friendly Hot Lunch

The lunch that feeds an all-hands without blowing the budget, from a kitchen that has been doing this since 2001.

Under $8 a Head, Hot

The pasta bar starts at $7.95 per person, the lowest-priced hot lunch on our catering menu. Feeding 40, 80 or 100 people for a town hall or training day is a real budget line, and this is the option that keeps it reasonable.

Everyone Eats

Marinara, tomato basil and alfredo are all vegetarian, proteins are added on the side, and the lasagna and ziti trays come in a vegetable version. Kids love it, which makes the trays a favorite for family dinners too.

On Time, Every Time

We deliver within a 15-minute window. Pasta that shows up late shows up cold, so we do not let that happen.

Family Style or Buffet

Order the pasta bar for a big group with choices, or a lasagna or baked ziti tray for a family dinner, a shiva, a team of 12 or a Sunday gathering. For larger events the trays and the bar work well together.

Italian Pasta Catering FAQ

How much does Italian pasta catering cost in San Diego?

Our pasta bar starts at $7.95 per person with a 10-guest minimum. Grilled chicken, meatballs or sausage add $2.95 per person, a Caesar or garden salad adds $3.25 and garlic bread adds $1.00, so a full setup with all three comes to $15.15 per person. Lasagna and baked ziti trays are $78 for 12 or $142.80 for 24, garlic bread included. Delivery and setup are included; a delivery fee may apply based on distance.

What is included in the pasta bar?

Your choice of rotini, penne or linguine with marinara, tomato basil or alfredo sauce and grated parmesan, plus white plastic plates, napkins, cups and serving utensils. Proteins, salad and garlic bread are added per person so you only pay for what you want.

How far in advance do I need to order?

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.

Do you have vegetarian pasta options?

Yes. Marinara, tomato basil and alfredo sauces are all vegetarian, and the lasagna and baked ziti trays come in a vegetable version. Let us know about any other dietary needs when you order and we will talk it through.

Which is better for my group, the pasta bar or a lasagna tray?

The pasta bar is best for 10 to 100 or more guests who want choices and a hot buffet line. Lasagna and baked ziti trays are best for family dinners, shivas and groups of 12 to 24 who want one hearty dish set out and ready. For larger events the two work well together.

Do you deliver pasta catering to homes as well as offices?

Yes. We deliver to homes, offices and event spaces throughout San Diego County, from Oceanside and Carlsbad in the north to Chula Vista in the south, and inland to El Cajon and Santee. A delivery fee may apply based on distance. Call or text (858) 353-5528 to confirm your address.
