Paragon Foods

Our Passion Real. Fresh. Food. It’s what we do, and we’re proud to be obsessive about it. We strive every day to inspire our customers with hyper-fresh, authentically delicious foods delivered in the purest and safest form possible. Our most demanding partners—the chefs, restaurateurs and retail buyers committed to quality above all else—are the lifeblood of our company. It is an honor to be the chosen purveyor of Pittsburgh’s finest and busiest restaurants, the region’s largest hospitals and several of the best colleges and universities in the country. Our Work Paragon is the premier distributor of fresh and specialty foods to the restaurant and foodservice industry in Western Pennsylvania. The company operates a newly constructed, 88,000 square foot distribution facility in Warrendale, PA, located 18 miles north of Pittsburgh. In addition to fresh produce, Paragon provides premium quality dairy, fresh meats, seafood and epicurean products to restaurants, hospitals, universities and K-12 schools, clubs and corporate dining clients throughout Western Pennsylvania, Eastern Ohio and Northern West Virginia. JustCut, our GFSI (Global Food Safety Initiative) certified fresh cut produce division, operates a state-of-the-art production facility attached to our distribution center. With the demand for precut fruits and vegetables skyrocketing, we figure the best way to deliver value for our customers is to produce the stuff every day, mostly to-order, so they get only the freshest product with maximum shelf life.
