Field Guide to Dining at Pitzer

WELCOME TO DINING AT PITZER COLLEGE!
Food is a vital part of college life. A meal with friends doesn’t just nourish the body, it builds lasting relationships and feeds the soul. At the same time, campus dining can also be a source of anxiety: Will there be options for me? What if I don’t have time to sit down? Will the food even be good?

YES! We are dedicated to ensuring that every student received delicious meals that meet their dietary needs and that students feel supported.

But that doesn’t mean eating at McConnell Dining Hall, Pit Stop, or Shakedown has to be serious. We know plenty of students who would subsist on a diet of bar-shaped foods and late-night pizza if left to their own devices. We get it. But we can offer something more: Craveable made-from-scratch meals that fit into students’ lifestyles.

Whether it’s a late-evening craving for an all-natural beef burger or a vegan protein smoothie on the run, we’re committed to breaking the bar-shaped meal and making delicious, wholesome food that works for real life. Let us show you how.

BENEFITS OF A MEAL PLAN

Life Should Be Easy – A meal plan means No shopping. No dishes. No kitchen fires (hopefully). Plus, you don’t even have to carry cash.

From Scratch = Flexible – We LOVE food, so we cook it from scratch. Stocks, sauces, soups, you name it. This means we can be flexible with our recipes to accommodate all sorts of dietary needs without any fuss. It’s our passion to create delicious food that suits every need and taste. Vegan, Flexitarian, or Gluten-Free? We’ll have options for you every day.

Sustainable. Seriously. – Our commitments to environmentally and socially responsible sourcing are industry leading. We care deeply about where our food comes from. We know you do, too.

Real Variety, Real Value – From global bowls to seasonal pizzas there’s always something new to try. With tons of choices in an all-you-care-to-eat environment plus tax-free dining, the value is unparalleled.

It’s Social – Sharing food is a perfect excuse to catch up with friends, and accidental encounters in the café are the spice of campus life. Our inviting dining spaces encourage lingering, and we regularly have interesting programs and events to keep things lively.
