Homemade Sandwiches, Soups, and of course… Pickles!
Now Open.
A new era for The Eatery. Construction is underway.
The Eatery, The University of Pittsburgh’s largest dining facility, will undergo a complete transformation, evolving into an industry-leading dining facility, boasting ten independent concepts and modern integrations designed to offer an unparalleled dining experience. The renovation will be completed in a phased construction approach with The Eatery continuing to be open for service. Dining concepts will go offline and reactivated in segments throughout the 2023-2024 academic year.
All images of The New Eatery are conceptual renderings and are subject to change.
Designed with community in mind.
In partnership with the University of Pittsburgh, surveys were conducted to understand the experiences that students are looking for. All of these new dining concepts will offer made-to-order menu items, making The Eatery feel like a modern, fast-casual restaurant galley trending in urban areas rather than a traditional dining hall.
The enhanced Eatery will be designed with community in mind. Seating arrangements will foster an environment for students to gather, socialize, study, and enjoy a meal. Pop-up installations will allow for game-day watch-parties, movie nights, karaoke, and interactive Teaching Kitchens hosted by the talented Pitt Eats culinarians.
Dining
The new Eatery space will feature an array of dining destinations intended to appeal to each and every student’s dietary preferences; ranging from classic American comfort food, diverse cultural offerings, an enhanced allergen-friendly station, and locally-sourced, plant-forward options. Halal-certified proteins will be offered at all dining destinations.
