Thank you to every guest who showed up and supported. Huge love to my amazing team who came through and did the darn thing — special thanks to Terrance for holding me down early, and to Lyndsey and Rhonda, the best I know, who always give excellence because they believe in me. And thank you to Emerald City and their incredible staff for hosting us. I’m truly grateful. 💛

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. 💛
