We know we know, back to the party idea. But this time with the classic – a pizza party! Tenderoni’s is doing this classic with the volume turned way up to DISCO. Yes, disco. Boston chef and restauranteur, Tiffani Faison, has recently opened a standalone location of her spot that made it’s debut in High Street Place just under a year ago but this one has a discotech theme. The menu offers scratch-made pastas, huge salads, and “Italian-American-ish” delights, but the pizza is the real star. It’s baked in long, rectangular trays so that every piece has crispy crust. No one has to fight over the best piece because all of the pieces are the best pieces! This is no typical office pizza party.

They offer party platters and packages of your favorite Jewish deli staples making this a spread everyone will be excited to be at work for. This is definitely an order one of everything situation since it’s too hard to narrow it down.

Bring Taco Tuesday into the office for lunch and get it catered from El Centro in the South End. Walking into El Centro is like walking into your grandmother’s kitchen, that is, if your grandmother’s kitchen is in Hermosillo, Mexico. Chef/co-owner Allan Rodriguez has brought his version of Mexico to Boston, complete with real family recipes, house-made tortillas, spiced sangrias and authentic micheladas. While you may not be partaking in the alcohol in the office, you can taste all the love packed into the food anywhere you eat it. And hey, maybe it will inspire some after work margs!

Korean-Mexican Fusion from Coreanos

If you like your tacos with a side of kimchi (yes, you read that correctly) then Coreanos is a great place to order catering for your next office lunch. It’s also a great option if you are not sure if you like that and want to try something new! This family-owned spot started in the summer of 2016 with a simple mission: to offer quality Korean food to Boston. They have also added a layer of fusion by offering mashups between Korean and Mexican dishes such as their kimchi & tofu taco and their bulgogi beef quesadilla. Order a lunch from them to bring a fun twist to the typical sandwich and salad spread.

Italian Feast from MIDA

If you want to bring the warm and cozy to office lunch via some Italian favorites then get your next office lunch catered by MIDA. Located in Boston’s South End, they are an inspired Italian neighborhood restaurant that believes in being generous and thoughtful in the way they prepare their food and engage with their community. MIDA means “he gives me,” and every meal they create is meant to be a gift just for you. If you’re not sold, or possibly shedding a tear, then may we entice you with trays of short rib lasagne and eggplant Parmesan. We figured that would do the trick.
