Planning how much to order

For catering and group orders, call Ernie’s Pizza & Restaurant at (215) 745-4131. Tell us how many people you’re feeding, when you need the order and what you have in mind.

Explore our menu for pizza, strombolis, salads, hoagies, cheesesteaks and Italian dishes. The restaurant can discuss options and quantities with you when you call. Confirm catering availability, pricing and any special requests directly before placing your order.

Ask about pickup or delivery arrangements, order timing, ingredients and dietary needs. Please call the restaurant to confirm catering prices, lead times, minimums and delivery arrangements.

You’ll find Ernie’s at 1618 Cottman Avenue, Philadelphia, PA 19111. See our hours and directions or order online for a regular pickup or delivery order.

A helpful first conversation starts with a few details: the date, the time you want to eat, the number of people and whether you are thinking about pickup or delivery. If you already have dishes in mind, mention those too. If you are still deciding, use the menu as a starting point and ask the restaurant about suitable quantities.

A family meal, a workplace lunch and a gathering with several households can call for different ordering arrangements. Tell the restaurant what you are planning so you can discuss the details directly. The information on this page helps you prepare that conversation; the restaurant confirms what is available for your date and order.

Our regular menu includes pizza, specialty pizza, Sicilian pizza, strombolis, salads, hoagies, steak sandwiches and Italian dishes. Start by looking at the sections that fit your gathering, then make a short list of the dishes you would like to discuss.

If you are considering pizza, ask about the sizes and quantities available for your order. If you would like a mix of dishes, explain how you plan to serve the food and ask the restaurant to help you compare options. Confirm each item, its quantity and its price before finalizing. Regular menu listings provide a useful starting point, while the restaurant confirms the details for the actual group order.

Before choosing for a group, ask your guests whether they have ingredient questions or dietary requirements that need to be discussed with the restaurant. Make a note of those questions and raise them before ordering. A dish name, a photograph or an ingredient description is not enough to establish whether a meal is suitable for an allergy or another dietary need.

Ask the restaurant what it can accommodate and confirm the details directly. Do not assume that an item can be changed, that separate preparation is available or that an ingredient can be omitted without discussing it first. The goal is to have the right conversation before an order is placed.

Give the restaurant the date and the time you need the order, then ask what arrangements are available. For pickup, confirm where and when the order should be collected and make sure the person collecting it has the order details. For delivery, discuss the destination, timing and any applicable terms directly with the restaurant.

If you are planning an event with a fixed start time, make that clear during the conversation. Ask when the order should be finalized and how to handle a change in headcount or item quantities. Lead times, minimums, delivery coverage and charges should come from the restaurant for your order rather than from a general assumption.

Before confirming, go through the items, quantities, date, time and pickup or delivery arrangements. Ask for the total and clarify any questions about payment or changes. If you are coordinating for a group, keep a single list of the agreed details so the person placing the order and the person receiving it have the same information.

Need to follow up after placing the order? Call the restaurant with your order information available. For a regular meal rather than a catered gathering, you can also use online ordering to see the current pickup and delivery options.
