About Us
Service that runs deep
In the food business, personal connection is everything.
That’s what Alan DeCecco and Tim Kelly realized when they began their journey as owners of the popular Powelton Pizza. Though the business has changed, our dedication to providing fresh food and service people can count on has remained the same.
In 1994, we responded to the need for affordable and reliable corporate catering, making our official debut as the Philadelphia Catering Company. After spending 15 years in the heart of University City, we decided to settle into our new home in South Philadelphia.
Our hard-working employees are what make our company what it is today. Everyone here takes great pride in what we do and understands what it means to be a part of a winning team. You’ll find camaraderie and teamwork around every corner at Philadelphia Catering Company.
