Initially focused on offering a fresh variety of foods, the catering side was established separately in 1993 to specialize in box lunches and catering services. In July 2000, the company expanded to a 10,000 square foot facility specifically designed for their catering operations, located at 135 S Lucile St, Seattle. This facility enables them to produce the highest quality box lunches, party platters, and gift baskets, serving customers from Everett to Tacoma and more. Ingallina's prides itself on making their own breads and baked goods from scratch, roasting meats daily, and crafting many of their own salad dressings. Their operations start early each day, often by 5am, to prepare fresh ingredients for that day's orders. The company's mission is to ensure high customer satisfaction, encouraging repeat business, and referrals. They value creating a satisfactory experience that extends beyond just food delivery, fostering a reliable relationship with their clients. The business has grown to include locations in Seattle, Portland, and Los Angeles, and continues planning for further expansion.
