Hosting Thanksgiving doesn't have to mean brining a turkey on Wednesday and fighting for oven space on Thursday. Phoenix's best Thanksgiving takeout covers almost every kind of table: a complete local dinner from Luci's, a generous spread from Arcadia Farms, smoked turkey and brisket from two barbecue kitchens, a resort feast you can pick up hot, and per-person plates for households that don't need a 14 lb bird.
We cover the whole Valley, including Phoenix, Scottsdale, Paradise Valley, Mesa, Chandler, Gilbert, Glendale and Peoria. Most dinners come fully cooked but chilled, so think about reheating time, fridge space and pickup day before you order. Prices are before tax and fees unless noted. Menus were last checked October 24, 2026.

Complete Thanksgiving dinners
These are the one-order spreads: a main, the sides, rolls and pie. Nearly all of them come chilled with reheating instructions, so plan oven time before you book a Wednesday pickup. The Arizona Biltmore is the only one that'll hand it over hot.
Luci's Urban Concepts
7100 N 12th St Bldg One, Phoenix, AZ 85020, USA
Luci's keeps it classic and well priced for a local kitchen: an all-natural turkey of about 12–14 lb, cornbread stuffing, herb mashed Yukon Golds, roasted cauliflower, Brussels sprouts and butternut squash, cranberry sauce made with local honey, a dozen rolls and pumpkin pie. You can also buy just the bird (about 13 lb, $149.37) or add sides and a $17.99 pecan pie. Details: $239.99, serves 6–8 · Order by Tue, Nov 24, 4 p.m. · Pickup Wed, Nov 25, 3–6 p.m. at Orchard Tavern, 7100 N. 12th St., Phoenix · Fully cooked; reheats in 30 minutes to 2 hours
Arcadia Farms
7025 E 1st Ave, Scottsdale, AZ 85251, USA
The Scottsdale café's dinner for six is generous: a 16–18 lb whole turkey, apple-sage stuffing, mashed potatoes, green beans, a quart of gravy, cranberry sauce, Noble Bread rolls, two quarts of butternut squash soup and a pumpkin or pecan pie. It also has the deepest à la carte menu here, with half-pan gratins, bacon Brussels sprouts, three stuffings (one gluten-free) and five pies, so it suits hosts who are cooking half the meal themselves. Details: $320, serves 6 · Turkey breast (about 8 lb) $96; whole turkey $140 · Order by Mon, Nov 23, noon · Any order with a turkey picks up Thu, Nov 26, 9 a.m.–noon; sides-only orders Wed, Nov 25, 9 a.m.–5 p.m. · No substitutions
Arizona Biltmore
2400 E Missouri Ave, Phoenix, AZ 85016, USA
The one order in this guide you can pick up hot. The package feeds 6–8 and centers on a 24-hour-brined organic, free-range Bell & Evans turkey with classic sides and dessert, and you choose hot and ready or chilled when you book a 30-minute pickup slot. Details: $499, serves 6–8, tax and fees included · Preorder on OpenTable · Pickup Wed, Nov 25, noon–6 p.m. or Thu, Nov 26, 8 a.m.–noon, 2400 E. Missouri Ave., Phoenix · Hot or chilled
ZuZu at Hotel Valley Ho
6850 E Main St, Scottsdale, AZ 85251, USA
ZuZu sells its feast two ways: fully cooked for Thanksgiving Day pickup, or as a seasoned raw turkey with the sides for hosts who'd rather roast it themselves. The menu pairs turkey with sourdough stuffing, sweet potato gratin, whipped Yukon potatoes, bacon Brussels sprout hash, butternut squash soup, gravy, chutney and rolls, and early orders get a lower price plus wine. Details: Cooked half $299–$319; whole cooked $459–$479; whole raw $429–$469 · Early pricing through Mon, Nov 16; final orders Fri, Nov 20, 5 p.m. · Raw pickup Wed, Nov 25, noon–6 p.m.; cooked pickup Thu, Nov 26, 10 a.m.–3 p.m., 6850 E. Main St., Scottsdale
Emily's Events
7625 E Redfield Rd Ste 130, Scottsdale, AZ 85260, USA
The pick for tables that would rather skip turkey, with a complete prime rib dinner and a bone-in spiral ham dinner next to the turkey. The turkey dinner comes carved (about 10–12 lb before cooking) with stuffing, green beans almondine, gravy, Parker House rolls, mashed potatoes or candied yams, a Grand Marnier cranberry relish or jellied sauce, and apple or pumpkin pie; white meat only is $30 more. Details: Turkey $259.99, ham $199.99, prime rib $389.99, each serves 6–8 · Order by Fri, Nov 13, noon, the earliest cutoff in this guide · 50% deposit · Pickup in a 15-minute window you choose at the kitchen, 7625 E. Redfield Rd., Scottsdale · Cooked, ready to reheat
Miracle Mile Deli
4433 N 16th St, Phoenix, AZ 85016, USA
The longtime 16th Street deli does a simpler, deli-style feast: 3 lb of white-meat turkey breast, mashed potatoes, gravy, stuffing, cranberry sauce, baked mac and cheese, six Kaiser rolls and a whole pie. Smaller households can order a $25 turkey plate with white or dark meat, and anyone who'd rather have a sandwich can add hot pastrami or brisket by the pound. Details: $245, serves 6; single plate $25 · Phone orders only at 602-776-0992, limited quantities · Pickup by Wed, Nov 25, 6:30 p.m., 4433 N. 16th St., Phoenix; closed Thanksgiving Day · Reheat at home
AJ's Fine Foods
5017 N Central Ave, Phoenix, AZ 85012, USA
AJ's has the widest choice of mains: a Diestel turkey dinner, a turkey breast dinner, glazed spiral ham, boneless ribeye roast, Beef Wellington and a braised brisket dinner with latkes, each sized for 6–8. Everything is cooked and chilled, takes 2–3 hours to reheat and can't be modified, so it works best for hosts who want a polished menu and have the oven time. Details: Turkey $250; turkey breast (5 lb) $260; ham $220; brisket $220; ribeye $340; Wellington $420; each serves 6–8 · Pick your store and pickup slot at checkout · Can't be picked up hot
Firebirds Wood Fired Grill
3435 W Chandler Blvd, Chandler, AZ 85226, USA
The lowest price for a six-person dinner on this list, with one thing worth knowing: the main is a 4 lb turkey, a 4 lb ham or 2 lb of each. The rest of the box covers mashed potatoes, mac and cheese, asparagus, green beans, cranberry, gravy, bread and bread pudding, so you won't need to source dessert separately. Details: $169.95, serves 6 · Preorder online while supplies last · Pickup Tue, Nov 24 or Wed, Nov 25 at 3435 W. Chandler Blvd., Chandler, or 1930 E. Williams Field Rd., Gilbert
Cooper's Hawk Winery & Restaurants
7361 E Frank Lloyd Wright Blvd, Scottsdale, AZ 85260, USA
With branches in Avondale, Chandler, Gilbert, Scottsdale and Surprise, Cooper's Hawk is the easiest complete dinner to grab without crossing town.

Thanksgiving dinner for one or two
Not every table needs a whole bird. These three sell Thanksgiving by the plate or in small packages, and two of them also go the other way with packages for 12 or more. Miracle Mile's $25 turkey plate (above) is the other small-table option, but it's a Wednesday pickup.
Hearth '61 at Mountain Shadows
5445 E Lincoln Dr, Scottsdale, AZ 85253, USA
You order by the head, so two people pay for two dinners and nothing goes to waste. Each portion has half a pound each of Two Wash Ranch turkey (white and dark), chorizo cornbread stuffing and Yukon mashed potatoes, plus gravy, cranberry orange relish, buttered green beans and two Parker House rolls; whole pumpkin ($38) or butterscotch pecan ($50) pies are extra. Details: $84 per adult, $42 ages 12 and under · Order on Tock by Tue, Nov 24, 5 p.m. · Pickup Thu, Nov 26, 11 a.m.–4 p.m., curbside or at the Hearth '61 bar, 5445 E. Lincoln Dr., Paradise Valley
Chompie's
3212 E Cactus Rd, Phoenix, AZ 85032, USA
The family deli stays open until 4 p.m. on Thanksgiving, and from 8 a.m. that morning it sells single turkey dinners to eat in, take home or have delivered while they last. For a crowd, the Traditional Meal feeds 12–15 with an extra-large whole turkey, stuffing, gravy, mashed potatoes, candied yams, green beans, rolls and two pies; the Basic Dinner skips the potatoes, yams and green beans. Details: Single dinner $32.99, kids 10 and under $14.99 · Traditional $319 and Basic $269.99, each serves 12–15 · Order packages and whole turkeys by Mon, Nov 23 · Phoenix, Scottsdale, Chandler and Glendale · Cooked the day of pickup; reheats in about 30 minutes
Buca di Beppo
1730 S Val Vista Dr, Mesa, AZ 85204, USA
Buca's dinner leans a little Italian, with spicy sausage stuffing and roasted garlic mashed potatoes next to sliced white-meat turkey, gravy, a seasonal vegetable, cranberry sauce and pumpkin pie. The 2–3 person package is the smallest complete dinner in this guide, it's one of the few with delivery, and the restaurants also cater for 10 or more. Details: $115 for 2–3; $195 for 4–6 · 10% off orders placed by Nov 10 · Pickup or delivery Nov 23–26; Thanksgiving Day pickup 10 a.m.–8 p.m. at Mesa · Mesa and Peoria
Smoked turkey, brisket and build-your-own
Two barbecue kitchens for a smoked bird or brisket, and a Scottsdale caterer that sells every part of the meal on its own. For a plant-based guest, Benedict's vegan, gluten-free stuffed acorn squash is the best centerpiece in this guide, and Arcadia Farms (above) has a gluten-free stuffing.
Big Nate's Family BBQ
1722 N Banning Ste 102, Mesa, AZ 85205, USA
A full smoked-turkey Thanksgiving from a Texas-style barbecue kitchen in Mesa. The six-person feast has an 11–12 lb smoked bird with smoked turkey gravy, mashed potatoes, herb stuffing with pearl onions, bacon green beans, cream corn, sweet potato casserole, cranberry jelly, a dozen rolls, a pie and a gallon of cider; the 12-person version steps up to a 22–24 lb turkey and two pies. Add a whole brisket (about 6 lb, $225) or a half (about 3 lb, $115), or pay $20 to have the turkey carved. Details: $260 for 6; $450 for 12 · Smoked turkey alone $135 (16–18 lb) or $175 (22–24 lb) · Order by Sat, Nov 21, 8 p.m. · Pickup Tue, Nov 24, noon–7 p.m. or Wed, Nov 25, 9 a.m.–7 p.m., 1722 N. Banning, Ste. 102, Mesa · Brisket comes cold to reheat
Little Miss BBQ
4301 E University Dr, Phoenix, AZ 85034, USA
One of Phoenix's best-known barbecue spots, and the order for a meat-first table built around its Central Texas-style smoked turkey and brisket. Each shop runs its own Thanksgiving preorder menu, so pick the closer one; preorders have to be cancelled at least 48 hours before pickup. Details: Prices, portions and pickup windows in each shop's checkout · Sunnyslope, 8901 N. 7th St., and University, 4301 E. University Dr., Phoenix
Benedict's Catering
5555 E Bell Rd Ste 6, Scottsdale, AZ 85254, USA
Build the meal piece by piece: an herb-rubbed turkey, then only the sides you need, from nine-grain stuffing and white cheddar mac and cheese to bacon-glazed Brussels sprouts and brown butter sage sweet potatoes. The vegan, gluten-free stuffed acorn squash ($22) gives plant-based guests a real main, not just extra sides. Details: Turkey $165; sides $22–$32; pies $33–$38 · Order by Sat, Nov 14, or while supplies last · Pickup Wed, Nov 25, 10 a.m.–5 p.m., Benedict's Café, 5555 E. Bell Rd. #6, Scottsdale
Three things to know before you order
- Hot, chilled or raw are not the same order. The Biltmore lets you choose hot. ZuZu sells a raw turkey to roast at home. Almost everything else is cooked and chilled and needs anywhere from 30 minutes (Luci's, Chompie's) to 3 hours (AJ's) in the oven.
- Thanksgiving Day pickup is limited. Arcadia Farms (turkey orders only), the Biltmore, ZuZu, Hearth '61, Chompie's and Buca hand food over on Thursday. Miracle Mile is closed that day, and most others finish on Wednesday.
- The earliest deadlines come before mid-November. Emily's closes Nov 13 at noon and Benedict's on Nov 14. Buca's 10% early-order discount and Cooper's Hawk's Wine Club presale both end Nov 10.
