Pinch Food Design

Working with Pinch for our wedding's welcome party was the best decision we made in our entire wedding planning process! Our Welcome Party was in a blank space gallery venue and I knew Pinch would be able to liven it up and fill it with their creative interactions, pop-ups and dishes. The food was amazing and their staff were professional and very attentive. The guests all raved about the quality and the uniqueness of everything they saw from Pinch that night. Not only was the end result everything we had hoped for, but the entire planning process with Carly, Victoria, and the rest of the Pinch team was a complete pleasure. They are the best in the business, for sure. The process was marked by clear consistent communication, creative collaboration, and genuine care and enthusiasm. I hope to have the opportunity to work with Pinch again in the future, they are absolute stars.

Pinch was amazing to work with. One of the best experiences I've had with a catering crew in some time. This is definitely a top notch outfit (but I'd expect nothing less in NYC as it's such a competitive market). Everyone was so friendly and proactive and their captains/leaders were super pro. They have specialty carts and custom tables for just about any food service scenario you can imagine. Our guests loved the bagel bar and fresh juices.

We’ve had the pleasure of working with Pinch on several corporate events, and they have consistently delivered exceptional service and outstanding food every single time. Their team is professional, responsive, and always accommodating — making the planning process seamless and stress-free. The menus are always creative and beautifully presented. From setup to cleanup, everything is handled seamlessly, allowing us to focus on our event knowing that the catering is in expert hands. We can’t recommend Pinch highly enough for any corporate or special event!

We had an incredible experience with Pinch Catering! The entire team was professional, kind and efficient from initial conversations to on-site service to the fastest breakdown we’ve ever seen. The food and presentation were flawless, and the team’s hospitality made our event seamless. We can’t wait to work with Pinch again and will be recommending them to all of our colleagues!

We used pinch as our wedding caterer in 2025 and the food was the highlight of the wedding. Everything was delicious, looked beautiful, and the staff were so professional, personable and fun! So many people have commented how great the service was and they loved seeing the servers laughing, smiling, and dancing a bit. The presentation was so creative and playful and translated perfectly from the tasting to the day-of.

I've had the pleasure of working with Pinch for several years as the caterer for Brooklyn Children's Museum's gala. The team seeks out on how to make each gala memorable from initial idea generation to the day of and then a debrief (a forgotten art by many) to reflect on the event. Carly, Lainey and the entire team make planning an event that much easier. Truly this team is an exemplar in the catering world as while quality of food is the primary focus there is a thoughtful approach to presentation, how guest interact with it and also ensuring the right menu based on the event. They go above and beyond as we had one random idea in discussion and then decided it wouldn't work and seemed like not the right cost - out of the blue three month's later Lainey emailed with a new idea to explore that lowers the cost and has a bigger impact. Carly always thinks about the 1 or 2 things that will make the event and experience phenomenal and willingly shares and also incorporates feedback and ideas. Additionally, they are always innovating and iterating so that each year there are new options to explore. It truly is a pleasure to work with them. They have made our gala the talk of town and one of Brooklyn's best parties.

Your catering search ends here! I worked with Pinch on an event at 620 Loft + Garden in NYC. As an out-of-towner, Pinch was the PERFECT partner working mostly remote to put this luncheon and forum together. Carly, Maria and Sarah are SPECTACULAR! Communicative, super creative and helpful navigating the nuances of our venue requirements. Their cuisine was not only gorgeous and eclectic, but tasted just as good as it looked. So impressed by this team. I can't wait to partner with them again!

If you're looking for a catering company that serves delicious food in an insanely-creative-and-perfectly-executed way, look no further than Pinch Food Design. I worked with Carly and team on a corporate event I produced recently in NYC and the outcome was pure perfection. This was a global summit, so not only did we have to be mindful of the "usual" dietary restrictions, we also needed to consider that guests were traveling in from all over the world and had widely-varying tastes. Pinch did a stellar job of creating a two-day menu that catered to every request, while remaining delicious, intentional and extremely well-presented. The guests were equally well-fed and creatively entertained as Pinch's food stations/passed foods were as tasty and filling as they were interesting, interactive and conversation-sparking...perfect for a group of people meeting for the first time! I cannot recommend them enough! (all photos by Dani Fine Photography)
