We're planning an end of year celebration for about 80 HS kids, to be held at school, that includes dinner. I don't have a firm budget yet, but funds are tight, so must keep costs on the low end.
Please recommend some dinner options for pick-up or delivery in NoVa (Springfield, Alexandria, Annandale, Falls Church area). We're looking for something more than just pizza or subs that will appeal to a hungry bunch of HSers. TIA! |

| Listrani’s does catering that is delicious. Lots of different pasta options, salad, and bread. Pretty reasonable prices too. |

| I second the Cal Tort taco bar, or Chipotle pre-wrapped burritos plus chips and guacamole if you want faster service (80 kids can take a long time in a diy taco line). Chipolte weaps (or will do if you ask) the burritos in half sizes. |

Chipotle. They all love it.
Spin Pollo is a good option too. The food is great and they helped our organization provide food to the Bailey's Crossroads shelter during the pandemic. |

+1. I did this for the lowest of low budget office parties and it was a hit. |

| +1 for Chipotle. Maggiano’s is a far higher price point |

$875 for 50 kids — that includes salad, entree, pasta and dessert. Chipotle’s quoted prices are less — but that’s just for one item — burritos for example. Price it out. Maggianno’s is a much better deal for better food. Note that the OP didn’t specify a price and described the meal as “dinner”. |
