Thanksgiving falls on Thursday, Nov. 26, this year, and Philadelphia has a takeout answer for almost every version of it: a turkey dinner for two from Reading Terminal Market, a family feast you pick up cold and reheat, a full dinner that shows up hot at your door, or just the centerpiece and the pies so you can cook everything else.
Our first calls: Miles Table for a family of up to 10, The Original Turkey for two people on a budget, Hudson Table for a dinner for four with dessert included, and 12th Street Catering if you want dinner to arrive hot. If you'd rather make the sides yourself, order Porco's turketta and keep your own recipes.
Prices are food subtotals before tax, delivery and service charges. An order-by date is the last possible day, not a promise that pickup slots will last that long, so book once your headcount is set.

Complete Thanksgiving dinners
These handle most of the meal in one order. Most are cold pickups the day before, ready to reheat; 12th Street Catering is the one that arrives hot. For a vegetarian main, Di Bruno's $70 sun-dried tomato pesto lasagna is the easiest add-on (it has cheese, so it isn't vegan). We haven't found a confirmed vegan Thanksgiving dinner in the city for 2026 yet. Stargazy, Zig Zag BBQ, Messina Social Club, El Camino Real and Mighty Bread have done Thanksgiving takeout before but haven't posted this year's details.
If the whole point is not cooking, 12th Street Catering is the order: its $900 Thanksgiving Day package feeds 10–12 and arrives hot with turkey, gravy, cranberry relish, potatoes, green-bean casserole, stuffing, mac and cheese, cornbread and pumpkin pie. Order by Nov. 18 at 2 p.m., and pick the $900 Thanksgiving Day Package, not the $450 Family Meal, which comes with a raw turkey. A $280 sides package for 10–12 arrives Wednesday for reheating.
Miles Table
1901 S 9th St, Philadelphia, PA 19148, USA
The South Street cafe's $299 Traditional Feast is the one to beat for a family of up to 10: herb-roasted turkey, gravy, cranberry relish, salad or butternut squash soup, and three sides. The turkey comes split, which makes it far easier to fit in a fridge that's already full. For five or fewer, the $179 Friendsgiving meal has half a turkey, sage gravy, orange-cranberry relish, salad, apple-herb stuffing, mashed potatoes and roasted-garlic green beans. Details: Pickup is at the BOK Building, 821 Dudley St., not the South Street cafe. Online orders run Oct. 24–Nov. 20. Free pickup Nov. 24–25, 9 a.m.–2 p.m.; delivery those days runs 10 a.m.–3 p.m. and starts at $30. Meals arrive cold with reheating instructions.
Hudson Table
1001 N 2nd St Unit 01, Philadelphia, PA 19123, USA
The cooking school's $165 feast feeds four and covers everything, dessert included: turkey with gravy and cranberry chutney, brioche stuffing, mashed potatoes, a broccoli-cauliflower gratin, a fall spinach salad, potato rolls and pumpkin cheesecake bars. It's the cleanest pick for a table of four that doesn't want a week of leftovers. Details: Pick up Nov. 25, 2–5:45 p.m., or Thanksgiving Day, 11 a.m.–1:45 p.m. Both are fully cooked and reheated at home. Each pickup day has its own listing on Hudson Table's site.
Di Bruno Bros.
930 S 9th St, Philadelphia, PA 19147, USA
The Italian Market institution's $390 dinner serves six and starts with a course most packages skip: butternut squash bisque and baked Brie en croûte. Then comes turkey braciole or roasted turkey breast, four sides, cranberry compote, brioche rolls and a pie. If you'd rather handle the turkey yourself, the $210 sides package lets you choose five sides for six people. Details: Order by Nov. 22 at 5 p.m. through Di Bruno's catering page or at 215-665-1659. Pickup only, Nov. 25–27, here at 930 S. 9th St., at 1730 Chestnut St., or inside ShopRite of Roxborough at 6901 Ridge Ave. (there's also a Mullica Hill, N.J., pickup). Meals come with reheating instructions.
The Prime Rib at Live! Casino & Hotel
900 Packer Ave, Philadelphia, PA 19148, USA
The casino's steakhouse puts a whole roasted turkey in the middle of its $250 dinner for six to eight, with traditional sides and buttered rolls. Pie isn't included, but whole apple and pumpkin pies are $40 each, and you can add mashed potatoes, collard greens, sweet potatoes or mac and cheese. Details: Thanksgiving Day pickup starts at 9 a.m. Order at 267-682-7522 or through the restaurant's Thanksgiving to-go listing, and confirm your pickup time and spot inside the property when you book.
Sweet Lucy's Smokehouse
7500 State Rd., Philadelphia, PA 19136, USA
For a barbecue Thanksgiving, Sweet Lucy's $198 feast feeds six to eight with 4 pounds of hickory-smoked turkey breast, three quarts of sides, gravy, barbecue sauce, eight pieces of cornbread and cinnamon honey butter. You choose the sides from the regular lineup, so jalapeño cornbread stuffing, baked mac and cheese and spicy braised collards are all fair game. Desserts are extra and feed 10–15; the caramel banana pudding is $55. Details: Order by Friday, Nov. 20, for cold pickup on Wednesday, Nov. 25, with heating instructions. The smokehouse is closed on Thanksgiving. Call 215-333-9663.
Fiore
2413 Frankford Ave, Philadelphia, PA 19125, USA
This Italian cafe and bakery does the most interesting take on the classic menu: rosemary-and-sage turkey, milk-bun rolls, fennel-sausage and semolina stuffing, green beans with French-onion béchamel, and honeynut squash with fermented-tomato vinaigrette and stracchino. Even if you're cooking, order the pies. They're $46 each for apple crumb, pumpkin, black-bottom bourbon pecan or banana cream with caramel, and the $45 ricotta stracciatella crostata is a good second dessert. Details: Send your headcount and preferred time slot through Fiore's Thanksgiving form by Thursday, Nov. 19. Fiore replies within 48 hours with the price and pickup details, and payment is due by Venmo before pickup. Pickup is cold on Wednesday, Nov. 25, 11 a.m.–3 p.m.; there's no hot pickup or delivery.
Urban Farmer Philadelphia
1850 Benjamin Franklin Pkwy, Philadelphia, PA 19103, USA
The steakhouse inside The Logan hotel does a whole 12-pound turkey dinner for four to six: sage and tart-cherry cornbread stuffing, smashed potatoes, gravy, cranberry sauce, Brussels sprouts, apple-butter-glazed carrots and turnips, cornbread, and a pumpkin, apple or chocolate-pecan pie. It's one of the few Center City dinners you can pick up on Thursday itself. Details: Preorder for Thanksgiving Day pickup, noon–3 p.m. Check Urban Farmer's Philadelphia holiday page for the current price.
Village Catering
9001 Ashton Rd, Philadelphia, PA 19136, USA
A caterer built for big families: sliced turkey breast or pineapple-glazed ham with stuffing, cornbread, gravy and cranberry sauce, plus sides like baked mac and cheese, cheddar mashed potatoes, candied yams and green beans almondine. It's $27.95 a person with two sides or $30.95 with three, with a 10-person minimum. Details: Pickup is Nov. 25 before 4 p.m., in disposable pans for reheating. Call 215-698-1117 to order, ask about delivery, or add an apple or pumpkin pie.
McCaffrey's Food Markets
1025 Youngs Ford Rd, Gladwyne, PA 19035, USA
For the Main Line and the northern suburbs, the local grocer's reheat-at-home dinners save a holiday-week drive into the city. Gladwyne (1025 Youngs Ford Rd.) and Blue Bell (1301 Skippack Pike) are the closest stores to Philadelphia; choose yours when ordering to see the dinners and pickup times. Details: Order by Sunday, Nov. 22, at 5 p.m. Dinners are available for pickup Nov. 21–26, and every store closes at 2 p.m. on Thanksgiving.
Chadds Ford Tavern
1400 Baltimore Pike, Chadds Ford, PA 19317, USA
For a gathering southwest of the city, the tavern's catering trays feed roughly 10–12. Call 484-800-4084 for this year's menu and total. Details: Orders close Nov. 21 at noon. Pickup is Thanksgiving Day, noon–2 p.m.
Thanksgiving for one or two
Most holiday packages assume a crowd. These three are sized, or priced per person, for a smaller table.
The Original Turkey
Reading Terminal Market, 1136 Arch St, Philadelphia, PA 19107, USA
The Reading Terminal turkey stand sells exactly the Thanksgiving basics, sized for two: a pound of roasted turkey breast, a pound each of mashed potatoes and stuffing, gravy and cranberry sauce for $39.95. Dinners for four ($78) and eight ($155) scale the same way. There's no green vegetable or dessert, so pair it with a pie. Hosts who just need the bird can order a cooked whole turkey ($65 for about six people) or a roasted turkey breast. Details: Order online and choose a pickup date before the holiday; the stand is closed on Thanksgiving Day and doesn't deliver the day before. Everything is packed for reheating. Reading Terminal gets crowded Thanksgiving week, so leave extra time.
NaBrasa Brazilian Steakhouse
1901 John F Kennedy Blvd, Philadelphia, PA 19103, USA
The Brazilian steakhouse's $60 Couples Package, for one or two, brings turkey, three sides, gravy, butternut squash soup and cranberry sauce; the $140 Small Family Package feeds four to six. Sides come from stuffing, mashed potatoes, sweet-potato casserole, green-bean casserole and a vegetable medley. Neither package includes pie. Details: Request Philadelphia pickup and a Thanksgiving Day time on the order form, at least 48 hours ahead. NaBrasa sends an invoice, and paying it confirms the order. The large Full Bird Package is Horsham-only.
The Twisted Tail
509 S 2nd St, Philadelphia, PA 19147, USA
At this Headhouse Square bourbon and blues bar, everyone picks their own main. Each $59 meal comes with turkey, short rib, prime rib, ham or salmon, plus shared sides sized to your order: potatoes, Brussels sprouts with bacon vinaigrette, mac and cheese, sweet potatoes, cornbread stuffing and salad. You get one mini pie for every two meals. Details: Pickup is Thanksgiving Day, noon–4 p.m. Call 215-558-2471 to order. The holiday menu adds a 20% service charge, so ask how it applies to takeout.
Turkeys, centerpieces and pies
Keep the family recipes and outsource the hard part. Porco's and H&T handle the main course, and the bakeries below take care of dessert. Fiore's pies, in the dinners section above, are worth ordering on their own. For vegan or gluten-free desserts, start with 8213 Desserts; P.S. & Co. also takes plant-based, gluten-free custom orders.
MANNA's Pie in the Sky pies support meals for neighbors living with serious illness. This year's lineup includes apple, pumpkin, pecan, mixed berry and the American Airlines Sky Pie; choose your pickup site when you order.
Porco's Porchetteria and Small Oven Pastry Shop
2204 Washington Ave, Philadelphia, PA 19146, USA
The porchetta shop's $85 Centerpiece Turketta is an herbed, smoked turkey-breast roast with housemade gravy that serves about 8–10. If you'd rather skip turkey entirely, the $100 Centerpiece Porchetta is a 5-pound roast with jus and crackling for 10–12. Round it out with the bread-pudding-style stuffing ($30, serves 8–10), the family-size autumn salad ($45), and Small Oven's $28 four-tart sampler: sweet potato, maple pecan, apple almond streusel and chocolate caramel. Details: Order from the Thanksgiving 2026 preorder menu and choose your pickup time at checkout; call 215-545-2939 with questions.
H&T Catering
N 52nd St, Philadelphia, PA 19131, USA
The fried-turkey specialist has been doing Thanksgiving for 14 years. A whole fried turkey starts at $79.99 and a turkey breast at $59.99; garlic herb gravy and finishing butters are extra, and carving adds to the price. It's turkey only: no sides this week. Details: Orders close Nov. 21 at noon. Pickup is Wednesday, Nov. 25, here at ParkWest Town Center (52nd and Jefferson streets) or in Haddon Township, N.J., with exact times sent before the holiday. Thanksgiving Day delivery runs 11 a.m.–1 p.m. to addresses in range; the option appears at checkout if yours qualifies.
Frosted Fox Cake Shop
6511 Germantown Ave, Philadelphia, PA 19119, USA
Nine-inch pies that feed 8–10: pumpkin and sweet potato for $32, and pecan, apple crumble and pear ginger for $36. The pear ginger is the one you won't find anywhere else in this collection. Details: Order by Nov. 20 at 5 p.m. and choose a pickup time: Nov. 24, 10 a.m.–5 p.m., or Nov. 25, 10 a.m.–4 p.m.
Night Kitchen Bakery
7723-25 Germantown Ave, Philadelphia, PA 19118, USA
The biggest pie lineup here: pumpkin, sweet potato, pecan, chocolate pecan, apple crumb, cherry crumb and key lime at $38, or double-crust apple at $42. Each serves six to eight. Details: Order online by Nov. 18 and choose a pickup slot. Thanksgiving orders are pickup only.
Lacroix Thanksgiving Pie Boutique
210 W Rittenhouse Square, Philadelphia, PA 19103, USA
The hotel restaurant's pastry team makes three $28 pies: apple cinnamon crumble, pumpkin with speculoos and pumpkin brittle, and a pear-and-almond tart. It's the easiest Center City pickup if you're bringing dessert to someone else's table. Details: Reserve by Nov. 17 for pickup inside Lacroix, Nov. 23–25, 11 a.m.–3 p.m. On the booking page, the number of guests is the number of pies.
Vernick Coffee Bar
lobby, Comcast Technology Center, 1800 Arch St 2nd floor, Philadelphia, PA 19103, USA
Greg Vernick's coffee bar has four pies this year: apple crumble, chocolate pecan, spiced pumpkin and its signature carrot cake pie, which is the one to get if you want something nobody else is bringing. Details: Preorders close Nov. 19. Prices and pickup times are on the Thanksgiving order page.
8213 Desserts at Tattooed Mom
530 South St, Philadelphia, PA 19147, USA
The bakery's one-night Thanksgiving pop-up is the best bet here for vegan and gluten-free desserts. Check ingredients with the bakery if you're ordering around a specific allergy.
