Feeding Groups Without the Kitchen Stress

Catering Services in Randolph, New Jersey

When you're responsible for feeding a group, catering removes the unpredictability of timing, portioning, and keeping food warm while people arrive. In Randolph, catering orders go out for office meetings, family gatherings, birthday parties, and celebrations where the host wants to focus on guests rather than managing the kitchen.

Big Bites Deli and Pizza offers catering that includes pizzas, trays of pasta, salads, appetizers, and sides, all prepared in portions sized for groups. The menu is flexible enough to accommodate different tastes and dietary preferences, and everything is packed to travel without losing heat or structure. Whether you're feeding ten people or fifty, the food arrives ready to serve.

If you're planning an event and need to lock in timing and quantities, contact us to walk through the menu and confirm availability for your date in Randolph.

How Catering Orders Are Prepared and Delivered

You start by selecting the items and quantities you need, then we prepare everything in aluminum trays, pizza boxes, or containers depending on the dish. In Randolph, most catering orders are scheduled at least a day in advance so we can coordinate prep time, especially for larger groups or custom requests. We deliver to homes, offices, and event spaces, or you can arrange pickup if you prefer.

After the food leaves the kitchen, it stays warm for about 30 to 45 minutes depending on the item and packaging. Trays with lids hold heat longer, and we pack everything to prevent spills or shifting during transport. You can set the food out as soon as it arrives, or hold it briefly if your event timing shifts.

We include serving utensils, napkins, and plates if requested, and we can adjust portion sizes based on your headcount. If you need the food to arrive at a specific time, let us know when placing the order so we can schedule preparation and delivery accordingly. Catering orders do not include setup or staffing, but everything is ready to serve when it arrives.

Planning Ahead Helps Avoid Last-Minute Gaps

Before finalizing a catering order, people typically want to know how much food to order, what travels best, and how to handle timing for events with flexible start times.

How much food should I order for a group of twenty?
A general guideline is two to three slices of pizza per person, or one full tray of pasta for every eight to ten people if you're serving sides. Ordering slightly more ensures everyone gets enough without running out.
What items hold up best for catering?
Baked pasta, pizza, and trays of salad or appetizers travel well and maintain their texture. Fried items are best if eaten soon after delivery, so timing matters for those.
Can I schedule delivery for a specific time?
Yes, you provide the time when placing your order, and we prepare the food to arrive within that window. Giving us a few hours' notice helps us manage multiple orders without delays.
What happens if my guest count changes?
If your numbers shift, call us as soon as possible so we can adjust the order. Changes are easier to accommodate at least a few hours before your scheduled delivery or pickup time in Randolph.
Do you provide catering for events outside of Randolph?
We deliver to nearby communities depending on distance and timing. When placing your order, confirm your location so we can verify delivery availability.
