Hosting a wedding at the National Aviary or a graduation bash in Oakland? Send a pre-order link in advance so friends can lock in a pickup window before the first toast.

Hummus Pittsburgh had excellent food, and all of our customers raved about how good it was and even asked where they could find it during the week. The staff at Hummus Pittsburgh was great to work with, as well, who were on top of everything and professional

Generous portions, well seasoned (not over seasoned), very courteous service under time pressure & walk-up customers, as well as unexpected under staffing. Thank you April's Kitchen. At our house, you're a "do again". ☺️

Burgers needed more fresh fixings (onion, lettuce) All our burgers had a tiny, wilted lettuce piece that we removed. Also the option to opt out of mustard
