Catering platters being prepared fresh in the kitchen

We Build It Fresh

Every platter is built fresh in our kitchen the day of your event — meats sliced to order, bread fresh from the oven, salads made that morning. Everything is kept properly chilled until delivery.

Delivered & Set Up

We deliver and set up your full spread, and we call ahead if traffic changes anything. White plastic plates, napkins, cups, utensils and condiments are included at no charge. Just uncover and serve.

Why San Diego chooses us

San Diego's Most Trusted Deli Platter Caterer

Over 25 years of building sandwich and deli platters for San Diego offices, corporate events and family gatherings — and we have never lowered our standards.

Authentic New York Deli

Our meats, lox, whitefish, and cream cheese come from the same kitchen we've been running since 2001. This is genuine New York-style deli — not catering-grade shortcuts. Your guests will notice the difference the moment the platter hits the table.

Planned Around Your Schedule

Hundreds of San Diego corporate clients trust us for their weekly team lunches and critical meetings. We plan each delivery around your schedule and call ahead if traffic changes anything.

Plates & Utensils Included

White plastic plates, napkins, cups, forks, knives, serving utensils and condiments are included free with every platter, so you can just uncover and serve. Delivery is priced by drive time ($19.95 to $74.95).

Vegetarian Choices

Vegetarian choices are on every menu, including veggie sandwiches and wraps. We can't make substitutions or allergy accommodations: onion and garlic are in most dishes and everything is prepared in shared pans. Our deli menu is kosher-style, but we are not a kosher kitchen and can't guarantee meat and dairy separation.

Common questions

Sandwich & Deli Platter FAQ

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.

What is the minimum order?

Our starting minimum is 10 guests for most platters. Smaller groups are absolutely welcome — just give us a call or text and we will work something out. We never want to turn away a good client over a minimum order size.

What's the difference between the Deli Sandwich Tray and the Overstuffed?

The Overstuffed Deli Sandwich Tray ($11.95) includes more premium meats like corned beef and turkey pastrami, chicken salad, and a side salad (potato, pasta or coleslaw) is included in the price. The Classic Deli Sandwich Tray ($9.95) is a lighter option with the side salad available as a +$1.75 add-on.

Can you do kosher-style platters?

Yes. Our deli menu is kosher-style, with traditional favorites like lox, whitefish, corned beef, pastrami and chopped liver. We are not a kosher kitchen and can't guarantee meat and dairy separation, and the menu also includes ham and other non-kosher items.

Do you deliver across all of San Diego?

Yes. We deliver throughout San Diego County — from Oceanside and Carlsbad in the north all the way to Chula Vista and Imperial Beach, and from the coast to El Cajon and Santee. Delivery is priced by drive time ($19.95 to $74.95), and online orders carry a 3% service fee. Call or text us at (858) 353-5528 to confirm your location.

What's the best platter for a corporate office lunch?

Our Overstuffed Deli Sandwich Tray at $11.95 per person is the most popular for office lunches — lots of variety, premium meats, and a side salad included. For bigger events or family gatherings, the Meat, Cheese & Salad Platter at $13.95 gives you the full NY deli experience. Call or text and we'll help you pick the right platter.
