What Pittsburgh says about us
Three decades of weddings, office holiday parties, graduations, funerals, and family celebrations — in the words of the people we’ve fed.
As a wedding planner I have worked with this company many times and I refer them to ALL my clients. This team is wonderful, and they never disappoint. The food is amazing and always piping hot, which is a huge plus at weddings especially. Alexis and her team was so understanding of my needs and made sure my baby’s caretakers were fed!
We hired the Cooked Goose Catering Company for our Sunday wedding based off a highly trusted recommendation. Not only was Alexis in constant communication with me, but the food exceeded our expectations. I could taste the love in each dish. Every single person we approached after the meal raved about the food, especially the roast beef.
We ordered food for an express food tasting. The food was delicious! We plan to go with The Cooked Goose for our daughter’s wedding reception in August. Mandie has been very helpful with answering all my questions.
Had amazing food and great service for my wedding! Everything was perfect!
Very happy with Cooked Goose and the last minute of the wedding and service. Food was delicious and well presented. Thank you for your best service at an affordable price. God bless you.
Mandie was a pleasure to work with coordinating the food for my wedding and I would definitely choose the cooked goose for any of my future events!
Cooked Goose fried chicken is the best! Everyone at my wedding loved it!
The food and service were outstanding! I would recommend your catering service to others.
Mandie was very helpful in planning our event! I will definitely use cooked goose again!
Debbie and Mandie have been wonderful to work with. The food was DELICIOUS. The roast beef, mac and cheese, and sweet potatoes are my top picks. We can’t wait for our guests to try everything!
Your company was recommended by J&D Cellars Winery as well as being listed in the top five of places we had researched to cater the breakfast the morning after our son’s wedding. You truly did not disappoint! The breakfast was wonderful and the service was excellent! Thank you!
It was my wedding and I was about 30 drinks deep, and was lucky I knew my own name. She was incredibly friendly, smiled the whole time, and gave me details on what she brought, what needed done. Everyone at my wedding ranted and raved about how good the food was. I would most assuredly recommend your company!
Used them for my wedding and they were great. Arrived on time, food was great, packaged leftovers in containers. Then to my surprise, my employer now uses them to cater. Roast beef was out of this world and OMG that ranch dressing. Please just bottle it!
We used The Cooked Goose for our wedding. They are great to work with and the price is extremely reasonable. All of our guests commented on how good the food was!
I used them for my wedding Oct 28 2017. The food was delicious, the service was awesome and the price was very reasonable. I couldn’t have asked for anything better!
They were so easy to work with, answered all my questions with patience and kindness. The ladies that were helping at my reception were amazing as well. They have so many different packages to choose from. We came in way under budget! I would highly recommend!
Their rigatoni was so good! I was a mess, trying to plan my wedding with my family and bridal party in another state. Debbie was so helpful, any questions I had she was always ready to answer. The portions are huge — we had enough for the wedding, leftovers, and even took a large container to my husband’s firehall. Debbie was awesome in calming down this panicky bride!
You catered my daughter’s wedding on Saturday (Hill / Gubish wedding). The food was delivered hot, on time, packaged nicely and most of all delicious! Thank you so much!
My wife Barb and I used CG for a picnic/wedding reception this weekend at North Park for our son and daughter-in-law. What was supposed to be hot was hot and what was supposed to be cold was cold. And the food was delicious! Roast beef — my brother-in-law said it was better than mine. I don’t have an argument. It was an exceptional experience with exceptional food!
You did the food and hors d’oeuvres for my daughter’s wedding and people raved about it for months. Food was fantastic — the Bruschetta was the best I ever had!
I was coming from out of town for my daughter’s wedding. I saw the great reviews and thought I would keep my fingers crossed — Cooked Goose Catering did not disappoint! All the dishes from the roast beef to the carrots were amazing! The portions were VERY generous and the customer service was wonderful too. You can’t go wrong with this great company!
The Cooked Goose went above and beyond our expectations to make our wedding a success. It was a joy working with them from the time of placing our order to the night of our event. The food received many compliments throughout the night and there was more than enough for everyone. I highly recommend the Cooked Goose!
We had a wedding reception on a Sunday for what was supposed to be around 85 people. Even if all 85 had shown up I believe we would have had more than enough food. The staff was awesome and the food was great. We had the roast beef and the lemon chicken and both were prepared perfectly. I definitely recommend the Cooked Goose Catering Company!
Our wedding was catered by the Cooked Goose Catering Company and the staff showed up professional and prepared! We got so many compliments on the food! There was plenty of food for seconds and leftovers too. You have to try the roast beef!
My guests raved — the food was awesome! Some said the best event/wedding food they had ever had! I will be calling again for my next event & recommending to friends/anyone who asks!
Just wanted to thank you for everything. The food was delicious. I got so many compliments on how good the food was. The wedding was beautiful, April was beautiful. Take care & God bless.
Thank you for the EXCELLENT SERVICE on our wedding day. The food was FABO-DELICIOUS. Everyone at the wedding was RAVING about the food! GREAT JOB!
Could you please pass this great big THANK YOU to everyone that prepared, delivered, and served food at the Tohey/Winnowski wedding. Your staff was very professional and conscious of everyone’s needs. They even made sure my bartenders had a plate of food! The food was excellent and we had more than enough!
We had a small wedding (about 50 people) and ordered from Cooked Goose Catering. Not only was the food absolutely delicious, but the young man who delivered was so helpful and efficient. We had Vodka Ravioli, lemon chicken, eggplant parm, au gratin potatoes (so cheesy!), and broccoli. All of the guests raved about the food. If you’re having an event and need a caterer, I highly recommend The Cooked Goose!
Had them cater the engagement party for our daughter and future son-in-law. Food was amazing. Everyone there commented on the food and wanted to know where we got it. We will be using The Cooked Goose again and again. Thank you for everything!
The Cooked Goose has been nothing but AMAZING to work with. They have gone above and beyond my expectations and I look forward to them being a part of our day!
Absolutely delicious! Definitely one of the caterers in the running for the wedding.
Thompson/Porterfield Rehearsal Dinner — Mandie was SO amazing throughout this whole process. She was extremely accommodating and communicative. Made the experience easy and pain free!
Just used this company for our office Christmas party and everyone raved about them. They were wonderful! We will definitely use them next year. Thank you to all the staff who made our party exceptional!
We just used them last night for a large company Christmas party. They were so easy to work with from start to finish. Friendly, professional, and the food was amazing! We will definitely recommend them and will use them again for future events!
Can’t say enough good things about this company! This will be our 3rd year coming up that we’ve had them cater our company Christmas party. We won’t even think about using anyone else. The food is delicious and plentiful!
I’m glad to report everyone at our event loved your food. As for me, I have eaten plenty of food from the Cooked Goose over the years — graduations, weddings, as well as your Express location — and I love it. You consistently strive to make the best quality food. We will be ordering again in the future. Thank you all!
We are always looking for new caterers. I work for the top execs of the company and on-time delivery and taste are essential. Cooked Goose exceeded my expectations! The person that took my order could not have been more friendly! The delivery person kept me updated on arrival time and was very friendly as well. The team LOVED the food. You made ME look good!
Debbie Sgro is absolutely WONDERFUL to work with! I have worked with her for years and would highly recommend dealing with her!
Debbie worked with me to create a customized sushi/sashimi platter for a very high-level guest — our owner — who was here from Germany. It was BEAUTIFUL and he RAVED about the quality and taste of the food. The Cooked Goose continues to deliver far beyond my expectations!
You guys ROCK!
The food was delicious! This was our first time using your company and it was a total success!
We have used your company for the past 2 years and both times the food has been amazing.
The food was delicious as usual. My guys were very happy with their meal and their desserts!
The team members here at Target absolutely loved the food both times I ordered. I plan on having close connections with the Cooked Goose Company for further events.
3rd year in a row using Cooked Goose for our holiday party. I predict 2020 will be the 4th!
We use you for every event here at work. We love the service and the food!
We’ve used your catering service 4 or 5 times now and it is always excellent. Keep up the good work! We appreciate it!
We will definitely continue using The Cooked Goose Catering Company in the future!
Food was delicious. Megan had a professional demeanor about her and was very helpful in delivering, setting up, and explaining everything.
Everything was perfect and we will certainly use you in the future. We had you cater for us in the past. All was great!
Great food and great communication leading up to the event. Super professional and tons of compliments on the food. Thank you!
Everything was wonderful and many wanted information on The Cooked Goose, which I have passed on. I expect you to receive more business from our neighborhood in the near future.
On behalf of our company, we want to thank you so much for all the wonderful food and service! Everything was so delicious and everyone kept complimenting the food! Your caterers Anthony and Stacey did an amazing job! They were very professional and they even helped clean up after our guests.
I just wanted to say Thank You for the INCREDIBLE food you and your team provided for our Christmas lunch! You made every step of the process such a breeze! This is the first time that I ordered food and I did not have 1 person complain! They all agreed that I should throw out every other catering card that I have and only order from you guys from now on!
Thank you so very much for the most delicious food supplied for our event luncheon. We had so many compliments from everyone. We all thoroughly enjoyed the lunch! Thank you again.
Everyone raved about the boxed lunches. The sandwiches were great and the potato salad was delicious! Perfect food choice during the Covid period and beyond! Debbie was great to work with too!
Always amazing working with the Cooked Goose. EVERYONE loved the food and we will order again for sure!
I love working with the Cooked Goose! Mandie is always so helpful!
Exceptional service from Elise, Debbie and Lisa and anyone in between. Communication prior was excellent. Delivery was on time. The food was great and the service fantastic! 5 STARS all the way! Thank you so much and Merry Christmas!
I forget the name of our drivers for the split event but both were very friendly and amazing to work with. The food was amazing as usual. Everyone was asking where the food was from and we let them know.
Thanks for a great product from start to finish. Everyone was very pleased with the boxes!
I am blanking on the names of the two who catered and served our event! They were wonderful. The attention to detail and the hyper awareness of all Covid precautions was impressive. It’s a scary time to be in this business and they handled everything with an ease and a fluidity that left our guests totally comfortable.
Everyone at the firehouse enjoyed the food and said it was very good.
Wonderful food, exceptional service by everyone we spoke with, especially Debbie! Thank you. It was a woman delivery driver & she was terrific!
This was a success from the initial call and ordering process through the delivery. The food quality, taste and quantities were perfect. Our members were all very pleased. We look forward to the next time we have a need to use your services.
We have used them three times for company events and have been very impressed with the cost, food, presentation, and customer service. We will use them again and again. The roast beef is amazing.
Everyone LOVED the box lunch and I was so happy that I used your company.
Thank you for working with me around the rescheduled dates for my son’s graduation party. The food was top notch and Amanda was great helping me with the menu! I will definitely be contacting you again next year when my next son graduates!
The food provided by Cooked Goose for my daughter’s graduation party was a huge hit. So many told me how much they enjoyed the food. I also really appreciated the delivery driver and setup — he was very helpful and professional.
So much going on the day — but the driver was FANTASTIC. The food was excellent! Thank you so much for making my son’s graduation party possible. I truly appreciate you all!
Delicious food and excellent service, as always!
Thank you so much for the planning, delivery and food! Debbie was so sweet and flexible. I had to make many changes due to Covid and her patience was appreciated! Our delivery person was professional, efficient, helpful and pleasant. The food spoke for itself!
We had an overall great experience with The Cooked Goose — from planning and ordering with Debbie, invoicing by Elise, and delivery by Scott was prompt, efficient, and courteous. Most important, the food was fresh and delicious. Thank you!
Debi was also great! Very nice and helpful. The food was wonderful. A group of us bought this luncheon for a co-worker who’s father died. The luncheon was for her family and it was such a great way for them to get together without worrying about all of the planning themselves. It was a great success and your company made it happen. Thank you!
Thank you for making a stressful time just a little less so. The food was delicious and enjoyed by all.
The family and guests arrived after a funeral for the luncheon. The set up was perfect. We had roast beef, stuffed chicken, red skin potatoes, tossed salad. There was plenty of food for everyone and enough for the family to take home to enjoy for a couple more meals. Thank you!
I ordered for my grams’ wake for our family and it was amazing! Everyone loved everything we ordered. He was very nice and professional and early for the drop off! Everyone that I have talked to there is very friendly and helpful! I will always use you for my parties/events!
I can’t remember the delivery person’s name but he was very courteous, respectful of the occasion and quietly went about doing his job. Can’t thank Cooked Goose enough. Elise made this such an easy experience in such a difficult time for me and my family. Forever grateful for that.
I am sorry that I don’t know who our delivery person was. We did not get to meet him/her, but everything was set up beautifully and ready for us when the service was over. The food was incredible as always. Those who never had your food before were so impressed. You really helped what can be a horrible day so much easier!
We used them yesterday for my Mom’s Wake. Everyone loved the food, especially the roast beef, so tender and tasty. Debbie was wonderful to work with. Crystal was very nice and helpful. She delivered the food on time and set up everything very quickly. Having leftovers today. I would not hesitate to hire Cooked Goose again for any future catering needs.
Everything was exceptional starting with the first email up to the delivery and quality of the food. I believe Terry was the driver’s name and he was very professional and friendly.
Best Roast Beef we ever had!
We just got chicken tenders for our birthday picnic. They were absolutely amazing! Everyone asked where they were from. They were just beyond delicious. I can’t thank you enough!
Had my dad’s 60th birthday party catered. The food was perfect. Everyone complimented on how good it was. Tastes like a home-cooked meal but for an army of people!
Your food was delicious and I received so many questions on where we ordered the food from! My parents said the people during pick up were so friendly. Thank you so much for making my husband’s 40th birthday party so special.
I just wanted to say thank you thank you thank you! The food for my mom’s 80th Birthday yesterday was AWESOME in every way. There was not a single person who had anything negative to say. Everyone had their fill and we had leftovers that were just as good today as yesterday.
The Cooked Goose Catering Company catered my grandmother’s Retirement/Birthday party a couple weeks ago. I could not have picked a better caterer for the event! All of the roast beef reviews had me a believer so I went with them. Everything smelled absolutely delicious! The ham so nice and flavorful, the macaroni and cheese was to die for!
The food is always delicious! Actually, delicious is an understatement! We have used this caterer for Thanksgiving for the last 2 years and we just used them for my son’s first birthday! Wow you guys never cease to amaze us!
The box lunches were a hit at our baby shower and the food was delicious!
I can’t remember delivery man’s name but he did introduce himself. Love your company. Thank you!
The Cooked Goose catered our baby shower. The service was wonderful, the price was great and all our guests commented on how awesome the food was! Thank you so much for helping us celebrate the coming of our little man!
Cooked Goose just catered our daughter’s baby shower in Pittsburgh on Saturday. The food was fresh, delicious, and expertly prepared. We live in Philadelphia, asked a ton of people for recommendations, and The Cooked Goose came up repeatedly. What an excellent choice! Everyone mentioned the quality of the food and desserts.
They catered my son’s baptism and everything was amazing! Food was delicious! Very friendly and easy to work with. My husband and I plan to use them again!
Cooked Goose catered our daughter’s First Holy Communion party. From the first inquiring phone call, I was convinced we made the right choice! Debbie was so sweet & helpful! Scott delivered the food piping hot and exactly on time! We had 50 guests and I swear, the amount of food they delivered could have easily fed 75! Every single guest raved over the food (beef, chicken tenders, red potatoes, rolls/butter) but ESPECIALLY the roast beef!
The girls that ran my shower were awesome! They set up everything so nicely and dismissed everyone for brunch and cleaned up. They constantly asked if we needed anything. Couldn’t have been happier with the experience.
Elise was so helpful and kind. The roast beef was delicious both times I ordered. My family really enjoyed all of the food ordered with the 50th anniversary party!
We wanted to thank you for making my in-laws 50th Anniversary party so special. Every person in attendance said the food was spectacular and asked where it came from and you can’t beat the price! It was a win-win! Thanks again.
Food was delicious and made my Christmas family dinner easier for me.
As always the food was FABULOUS! This was a Christmas gathering of my cousins, there were 8 in total, and we all had doggie bags to take home. More than enough food for us all. Keep up the excellent service. Merry Christmas and a Happy, Safe, and Healthy New Year to you and all of your employees.
I will never cook a turkey or entree for a holiday again. The food was delicious. I did not have to cook and clean up the kitchen in advance. I got to spend more time with my guests. Overall, it was a very relaxed holiday compared to past events.
Awesome dinner. I wanted to take credit, but everyone loved it so much that I had to tell them I got it from the Cooked Goose! Thank you and Happy New Year!
We had a small family gathering (15). The food was absolutely delicious and we will be thrilled to have you cater our gathering next time. I would recommend The Cooked Goose to anyone requiring catering needs. Thank you for making my experience so awesome.
We used them for Mother’s Day and my daughter’s dedication. The food was really good! I highly recommend the roast beef and green beans.
Hayden was the delivery/set up person for the first night, and the second night was Jack. Both young men were friendly, courteous, and professional. The guests at our events were so happy with the taste of the food for both nights. Debbie set the tone for a wonderful experience — awesome to work with!
The name of the driver completely escapes me, but she was FABULOUS! Even made sure to fix me a plate to eat which I was very grateful for. Regardless, the entire experience from booking on through the set up and clean up was perfect, not to mention the food was top notch! Thank you, thank you and thank you!
Thank You! The great service started when I got a text that they were 10 minutes out — that was very helpful! The food was delicious. We had many people compliment us about the food. The guys who served were great and very polite. It was so nice to not have to worry about the food and enjoy my party.
Unfortunately I don’t remember the name of our driver (he attends the University of South Carolina) but he was wonderful. Very friendly, attentive and hard working. My guests are still talking about your food. Delicious beyond words. I will definitely turn to The Cooked Goose for future events.
Everyone loved the food. The desserts were also outstanding! Excellent quality and portion size. Perfect.
Everything tasted great. The hit was definitely the roast beef. Everyone kept asking where we got the food catered from. So delicious! The pricing per person was also great!
This is an amazing caterer! From the initial phone call to the delivery and help setting up. So helpful and courteous. And the food — OMG, SO GOOD! Amazing stuffed chicken breast and Lasagna! The desserts were so good. Little things like giving you to-go boxes add a special touch. I cannot recommend them enough.
Alexis B was so cheerful and helpful. She set up the buffet beautifully and helped with desserts, clearing tables, trash disposal, etc. It was a pleasure having her as our server!
It was a crazy day and I am sorry I did not catch the driver’s name. Extremely friendly, polite and helpful. Everyone loved the food and quite a few asked for the company name. Great idea having the cards in the napkin pack. Thanks for helping to make our day more enjoyable!
The guest really enjoyed all the food — the beef and potatoes were everyone’s favorite!
Everyone raved about the food. We were so happy with all of the food!
Surpassed my expectations!
Delicious food!
Our guests really loved the food!

The roast beef was excellent!
I was supposed to pick up the order, but wasn’t ready. They offered to deliver to my house. When I got home I called them to add a few things and they were VERY accommodating. Everything was delivered to my home and it was great!
Always delicious! Terrific staff from the phone call to pick up!

All of the guests really enjoyed the food. I am so happy I ordered from here.
We always love everything. It was the 1st time ordering a cake and I wanted to pass along that the icing was very gritty. But the food was delicious and will always be number one in the area in our book.
Food and Service best around. Debbie very accommodating. Thanks again for a job well done. Food the very Best!
Very accommodating staff.
The food and service were excellent. Debbie answered my million questions prior to the day of the event and everything went off without a hitch!
Great food and service! Thank you.
The food was amazing. I placed my order with Debbie and I can honestly say she truly was the nicest person that I have dealt with in ages. The customer service was amazing. You are very lucky to have her on your staff.
The beef was super tender and chicken fingers were wonderful. The brownies were more than I expected — AWESOME. The sheet cake icing was light and not sugary. I would definitely order again!
Delicious chicken tenders and very friendly associate whenever I picked up the order. Thank you!
Everyone enjoyed the food — many asked who catered and we highly recommended you to all! Didn’t find delivery person’s name on receipt, but he was very nice, on time, set up quickly.
