Whether it’s juicy tacos, pastrami on rye, or charred brisket, it’s super satisfying to get a free catered lunch at work. So the next time you need catering for clients or employees, give them a treat. Here are the ten best caterers in St. Louis, Missouri.

1. Bellacino’s Pizza and Grinders Catering (Hampton Ave., St. Louis) 

When work gets hectic, Bellacino’s Pizza and Grinders’s crisp, bubbling pizzas are a great way to show teams you care. The St. Louis caterer crafts popular pizza combos like “Meat Eater” and buffalo chicken. For a different style of pizza, try the Sicilian square pie, as light and airy as focaccia.

2. J. Smugs GastroPit Catering (Shaw Ave., St. Louis) 

Carnivores in your office will enjoy the mouthwatering meats of J. Smugs GastroPit, one of the best caterers in St. Louis for smoky barbecue. Pulled pork, daubed with sweet and tangy sauce, is meltingly rich, while the brisket is smoked for hours to develop a nice crust. Consider creating a complete meal with sides like mac and cheese, crunchy coleslaw, and buttery brioche buns.

3. Companion Catering (Clayton Rd., St. Louis)

A catering tray of Companion’s tasty sandwiches will look great in any meeting room. Try creations like “Green with Envy,” a tomato, basil, and mozzarella combo with zingy walnut pesto. Another great sandwich is the fiesta chicken. The roasted chicken, bacon, and habanero Jack cheese are lifted by spicy mayo.

4. Moe’s Southwest Grill Catering (Olive Blvd., Creve Coeur)

Moe’s Southwest Grill is one of the best choices for catering huge meetings in St. Louis. The hot food bars are easy to scale, regardless of whether you need to feed 10 or 100 people. The most popular catering package is the fajita bar. It comes with your choice of two proteins—like sizzling steak, rich carnitas, or hearty tofu—and fresh and juicy toppings to spoon onto steaming tortillas.

5. Deer Creek Coffee Catering (Clayton Rd., St. Louis) 

At Deer Creek Coffee, you’ll find hearty and delicious sandwiches like the “Big Bend,” stuffed with turkey, mozzarella, and squiggles of pesto. If you’re feeding light eaters or vegetarians, try the “Clayton” sandwich: balsamic-roasted veggies and buttery swiss are pressed between two slices of baguette.

6. St. Louis Kolache Catering (N. Lindbergh Blvd., St. Louis) 

St. Louis Kolache is one of the best caterers in the area for soft, sweet kolaches. The Central European pastries are marked with a divot laden with a sweet or savory filling, and they’re perfect for any meal. For something sweet, try kolaches filled with cherries and toasted almonds. For a savory bite, the spicy chorizo, egg, and cheese kolache makes a great breakfast.

7. Pickles Deli Catering (North Euclid, St. Louis)

Pickles Deli makes ordering boxed lunches for the office easy. Try the “Level 2 Boxed Lunch,” which includes a sandwich, a side dish, and a drink or cookie. You can choose from nearly a dozen sandwich combos made with ingredients like tender roast beef and rich genoa salami. The St. Louis caterer also offers some of the best options in the area for gluten-free eaters and vegetarians.

8. White Box Catering (Lindell Blvd., St. Louis)

It’s the grain bowls that earn White Box Catering a spot on our “Best of St. Louis” list. Each energy-fueling grain bowl starts with a base of nutty quinoa. Then it’s loaded with chewy and crunchy toppings and splashed with a bright dressing to bring out the freshness of the ingredients. Choose from White Box’s Southwestern, Greek, or Asian grain bowls.

9. Salt + Smoke Catering (Delmar Blvd., University City) 

Celebrate a work milestone with Salt + Smoke, which delivers some of the best barbecue catering packages in the St. Louis area. If you want to go all out for special clients or hardworking employees, try the “4-Meats” deal. It includes four barbecued meats, four sides, and barbecue sauce. All the meats have a deep smoky flavor, but our favorite is the brisket with its crisp, salty bark (the crust).

10. Nadoz Cafe and Catering (The Blvd., Richmond Heights)

Nadoz Cafe and Catering crafts warm comfort food that people don’t get tired of eating. The St. Louis caterer offers some of the best buffets in the area. Think thyme-scented chicken with a side of white cheddar–smashed potatoes, and tri-colored tortellini stuffed with walnut pesto. There’s even a pot pie on the menu, with braised short rib bubbling under a blanket of golden pastry.
