With the reopening of the fully renovated Eatery this semester, faculty and staff may want to visit the Litchfield Towers site to check out the wide variety of offerings.
While the dining hall is primarily for students, Pitt employees are welcome to take advantage of the one-price, all-you-can-eat facility using Pitt Cash, a personal credit card or cash. Breakfast is $9.75; lunch, $11.50; and dinner, $12.50. The same prices also are available at the Perch in Sutherland Hall.
The Eatery has been under construction since last summer, when work was done in the kitchen area. The dining areas now include:
Table 33: Food from the 33 states in Latin America
Kokumi: Western-Asian inspired station, featuring Halal-certified proteins
Briny Pickle: A deli featuring sandwiches, salads and soups
Food Truck: American comfort food with corn dogs, mac and cheese, french fries, and onion rings, Halal-certified beef hamburgers and hand-spun milkshakes
Cucina: Hand-tossed pizzas and made-to-order pasta
Farm Stand: Aimed at those who are vegan, vegetarian and pescatarian
Flourish: Allergen-friendly station, features a rotation of menu items devoid of the nine common allergens: Milk, egg, peanut, soy, wheat, tree nut, shellfish, fish and sesame. For allergen-free items at the Perch and campus-wide, contact Pitt Eats dietitian for tailored feedback based on individual dining needs. Additionally, Pitt community members can visit the Dine on Campus website for more information.
There also are three spaces outside the Eatery pay gates that anyone can access: Unwind, a c coffee shop that also serves artisan breakfast sandwiches, local pastries and gelato; The Delicatessen, an all-new dedicated kosher space; and the Market at Towers, a contactless convenience store that allows customers to scan in, and then pick up items from shelves and just walk out.
