New Lenox is in Will County, twenty-five miles from the Yorkville kitchen, on US Route 30 with I-80 running just north of town. It suits family events: birthdays, anniversaries and backyard parties, often with an Italian menu. Delivery to New Lenox is quoted by distance when you order, and you can pick up your order at our Yorkville kitchen instead. We plan the route the night before, and the driver texts when five minutes out.
A birthday or an anniversary calls for dishes people recognize. Baked lasagna is $50 or $90 a tray, meatless mostaccioli is $39 or $65, and eggplant parmesan is $95. Hand breaded chicken parmesan is on the buffet entrée list. Add garlic bread at $19.99 for 12 pieces and a classic Caesar salad tray at $49. Buffets start at 20 guests if you would rather have the full spread.
For a summer afternoon, pulled pork is easy: a tray is $95 and serves 20, with slider sandwich buns at $12 for 24. Pair it with BBQ baked beans at $49, creamy cole slaw at $55 and a watermelon wedge platter at $59. Iced tea, punch or lemonade is $89 for 50 six-ounce servings, cups included. Plates, napkins and silverware are $1.50 per person, so the party table is complete.
Sweets finish the evening. Cheesecake squares are $59 for 35 pieces, lemon bars are $59 for 40 and homemade apple crisp is $49, serving 12 to 15. The chocolate drizzled mini cream puffs are $45 for 50, a good choice for a room of mixed ages. Dessert trays travel with any order. Order them with the main trays and everything arrives together. Chocolate covered strawberries at $69 per tray are gluten free, if one of your guests avoids wheat.

Extremely professional, great communication, fantastic food, great service, and they are very willing to do the little details if needed (flexible!). They made us feel less stressed, we could trust them, and we feel like we received great value for the price we paid. I would recommend this caterer to anyone!!”
“Upper Crust just catered my daughter's bridal shower. The food was excellent and there was plenty of it. Staff was very professional, answered all of my questions and arrived on time for set up. I would definitely recommend Upper Crust catering.”
“We had some catering done by Upper Crust for our son's high school graduation. We had used them previously for a wedding reception as well. The food is always excellent and there were so many people who said how good it was. I have always been impressed with this company. They are kind and courteous and will always answer all your questions. Great job!!!”
