Eating and Dining at NJIT

Hey! Here's what's new for eating on campus:

  • The Trattoria (pizza place) has been refurnished by GDS with additional seating, booths, new tables and chairs, and a glass enclosed front.
  • A “hydration station” has been added to the continuous dining venue.
  • The cost of wine, beer, and liquor ordered through GDS catering services has been reduced by about 50%.
  • All on-campus catering can be done only by GDS in order to comply with the requirements of our food services contract, New Jersey Alcohol and Beverage Commission, and the need for timely clean-up and maintenance of NJIT facilities.
  • Access to the University Club is restricted only to members and their guests. This is a requirement of the license issued to NJIT by the New Jersey Alcohol and Beverage Commission. Effective September 14, 2009, no order can be made in the Club without the four digit number of the club member. Membership can be secured for an annual fee of $25 by logging on to http://universityclub.njit.edu.
  • Two additional floor managers have been hired by GDS to insure quality of service to all patrons.
  • Peter Fischbach, GDS Executive Chef and Director of Food Services at NJIT captured second prize in the 2009 Great American Seafood Cook-Off hosted in New Orleans this past July. The Cook-Off is among the nations most prominent food competitions including teams of celebrity chefs from across the nation.
