Why Minneapolis Chooses Jakeeno’s for Holiday Party Catering

Holiday parties deserve better than generic catering that tastes like it came from a warming tray. Your guests, whether they’re family, friends, or colleagues deserve food that actually tastes homemade, because at Jakeeno’s, it is.

Here’s what makes our Minneapolis holiday catering different:

Nearly 50 Years of Holiday Experience
We’ve been serving Minneapolis since 1975. We know exactly what works for office celebrations, family gatherings, neighborhood parties, and everything in between. Our family-owned restaurant has served three generations of customers, and we bring that same care to every catering order.

Drop-Off Catering That Actually Works
Our catering service delivers hot, ready-to-serve food right to your location. No setup crew needed, no rental equipment to return, just authentic Italian food that arrives on time and stays hot. You get all the credit for the great food without any of the cooking stress.

Real Italian Food Made Fresh
Every pasta dish uses our homemade sauces that have been perfected over decades. Every pizza gets our thin crust that’s been a South Minneapolis favorite since your parents (or grandparents) were eating here. We use fresh ingredients and family recipes, the same ones we serve in our restaurant every day.

Flexible Options for Every Holiday Event
Feeding 10 people at a neighborhood gathering? We’ve got you covered. Catering an office party for 75? No problem. Hosting your extended family of 40 for the holidays? That’s our specialty. We scale our holiday catering to fit your exact guest count.

Holiday Party Catering Menu: Authentic Italian Food for Minneapolis Celebrations

Homemade Pasta Dishes That Feed a Crowd

Our pasta catering is perfect for holiday parties because one large dish feeds multiple guests beautifully. These aren’t individual portions, these are family-style servings meant for sharing, just like holiday meals should be.

Lasagna
Always a family favorite and a holiday party staple. Layers of pasta, rich meat sauce, and perfectly melted cheese. This is the dish everyone expects to see at holiday gatherings, and we make it the way it should be made, with hours of careful preparation and quality ingredients.

Chicken Florentine – Our Most Popular Choice
Penne pasta in a rich white butter cream sauce with tender chicken breast, spinach, and cheese. This is the pasta dish that impresses guests who want something special. The cream sauce feels indulgent and holiday-appropriate without being heavy.

Stuffed Shells
Hand-stuffed shells filled with a blend of ricotta, mozzarella, and romano cheese with roasted garlic. These are crowd-pleasers, and the garlic adds that perfect holiday aroma when you serve them.

Spinach Tortellini
Filled with spinach, roasted garlic, and a blend of Italian cheeses. These tortellini bring color to your holiday spread and offer a lighter pasta option that still feels festive and substantial.

Ravioli
Beef-filled pasta topped with mozzarella cheese and your choice of sauce. Classic, comforting, and exactly what people want at holiday parties.

Rigatoni
Our rigatoni holds sauce perfectly and serves beautifully for large groups. Choose your sauce to match your party’s preferences.

Thin Crust Pizzas That Disappear Fast

Our thin-crust pizzas have been a Minneapolis favorite since 1975. They’re perfect for holiday parties because they’re easy to serve, easy to eat while mingling, and everyone loves pizza.

Chicago Super Pizza
Loaded with sausage, pepperoni, mushrooms, black and green olives, onions, and green peppers. This is the “everything” pizza that makes holiday party planning simple, it’s got something for everyone.

Build Your Own Pizza
Create the perfect pizza combination for your holiday guests. Our thin crust handles any topping combination you choose, from classic pepperoni to vegetarian options.

Available Sizes:

  • 10″ Personal Pizzas – Perfect for smaller gatherings or variety
  • 13″ Large Pizzas – Great for feeding groups
  • 15″ Extra Large Pizzas – Maximum coverage for big holiday parties
