The Fluted Mushroom has provided award-winning catering in Pittsburgh since 1972.

From Downtown Pittsburgh galas to intimate family celebrations, we treat every client like family.

our story

In 1972, Paul Deiseroth built a commercial kitchen in the basement of the family’s home for his wife, Peg, to launch her catering business—The Fluted Mushroom. It was an apt name because the intricately carved mushroom exemplified the skill, beauty, and taste that Peg brought to Pittsburgh’s culinary scene.
