Does Olive Garden Deliver?
Yes, at most restaurants. You order on olivegarden.com or in the Olive Garden app, and a delivery partner brings it from your local restaurant. Availability, delivery fees and order minimums depend on your address and the restaurant, and you'll see them at checkout before you pay.
Olive Garden also appears on third-party apps like DoorDash and Uber Eats in some areas. Compare before ordering: app menus can be priced higher than the restaurant's own menu, and app fees are added on top.
How to Order Olive Garden Delivery or To Go
- Choose your restaurant. On olivegarden.com or in the app, enter your address and pick the nearest Olive Garden.
- Pick delivery or pickup. Choose Delivery to have it brought to you, or To Go for curbside or counter pickup.
- Build your order. Add entrées, family bundles or catering. Check each item's description for included salad and breadsticks.
- Choose a time. Order now or schedule ahead; scheduling is the safest bet for Friday and Saturday evenings.
- Pay and track. Pay online, then follow the status. For pickup, use the arrival check-in so staff bring the order out.
To Go, Curbside and Pickup
To Go is usually the cheaper option because there's no delivery fee. Order ahead, pick a time, and either walk in to the To Go counter or use curbside pickup where the restaurant offers it. Most To Go entrées include salad and breadsticks, but the exact sides are listed on each item when you order online, so check before you pay.
What to Order for Delivery
Some dishes travel better than others. Baked pastas and sauced dishes hold up well; fried dishes and anything crispy lose their crunch in a closed container.
- Travels well: Lasagna Classico, Five Cheese Ziti al Forno, Chicken Parmigiana, Spaghetti & Meatballs, any soup.
- Eat it fast: Fettuccine Alfredo and other cream sauces thicken as they cool; stir in a splash of milk when reheating.
- Skip for delivery: Calamari, Fried Mozzarella and Lasagna Fritta are best eaten in the restaurant.
Feeding four or more? Family-style bundles and catering pans cost less per person than individual entrées.
Delivery Fees and How to Pay Less
- Delivery adds a fee and usually a service charge, plus a tip for the driver. Pickup avoids all three.
- Promotions on online orders occasionally come through the eClub. See Olive Garden coupons for what's real.
- Add a Take Home entrée for about $8.99 when you dine in instead of ordering a separate meal later; see Buy One Take One.
- For groups, one family bundle is cheaper than four entrées.
How to Reheat Olive Garden Leftovers
- Pasta with cream sauce: skillet over low heat with a tablespoon of milk or cream, stirring until hot.
- Baked pastas and lasagna: covered with foil at 350°F for 20–25 minutes.
- Breadsticks: wrap in foil and warm at 350°F for 5–7 minutes; brush with a little butter and garlic salt to revive them.
- Soup: on the stove over medium-low heat; don't boil cream soups.
- Salad: keep the dressing separate so the lettuce stays crisp until the next day.
