Phoenix & Laveen BBQ Catering Guide
Share
Whether it's a backyard birthday, an office lunch, or a holiday get-together, mesquite smoked barbecue is one of the easiest ways to feed a crowd in the Phoenix and Laveen area without spending your whole day at the smoker. Here's what to know before you order.
How Far Ahead to Order
We recommend placing catering and larger pickup orders at least 72 hours in advance, especially for weekends, holidays, and bigger parties. If you need something sooner, reach out directly — we'll do what we can to accommodate.
How Much BBQ Per Person
As a rough guide when planning quantities:
- Brisket or pulled pork: about ½ lb of cooked meat per person for a main
- Ribs: plan on 3-4 bones per person as part of a mixed spread
- Sausage or chorizo: 1-2 links per person as a second protein
If you're serving multiple meats buffet-style, you can scale portions down slightly per protein since guests will mix and match.
Popular Catering Picks
- Smoked Whole Beef Brisket — the centerpiece for larger gatherings
- Mesquite-Smoked Pulled Pork — easy to serve buffet-style, great for sandwiches
- Smoked Half Chicken — a lighter option alongside heavier cuts
- Smoked Jalapeño & Cheddar Cheese Sausage — a crowd favorite appetizer or side protein
Hot and Ready, or Chilled and Packed
Orders can be prepared hot and ready for pickup, or chilled and packaged for easy reheating at home — whichever fits your event timeline better.
Local Pickup in Laveen, or Nationwide Shipping
Local pickup is available in the Phoenix and Laveen, Arizona area for catering orders. If your event is outside Arizona, select smoked meats are also available for nationwide shipping.
