After 14 unforgettable years, Carmi Express Northside will be closing the doors to our physical location but never to our community.

This journey has been filled with laughter, love, family, celebrations, and so many memories.

From everyday meals to weddings, receptions, bridal showers, karaoke nights, and special moments around the table, you let Carmi be part of your lives, and that means everything to us.

We’ve been honored to welcome neighbors, friends, and even celebrities who came through, loved the food, and told their friends.

Being recognized multiple times as one of the best soul food restaurants in the city is something we’ll always be proud of but the real honor has been you.

While our Northside doors are closing, Carmi is not gone.

We will continue serving Pittsburgh through catering for public and private events, keeping the soul food, the love, and the legacy alive.

If you can, stop by today for lunch and share one more moment with us. And remember, we’re still here for catering when you need us.

Thank you, Pittsburgh, for allowing Carmi to be at the center of your tables, your celebrations, and your memories for 14 incredible years.

We appreciate you.
We thank you.
We love you, Pittsburgh. 💛
