Spring Dining

ONE SUSHI IS HERE!
Work has been completed on One Sushi, which will open at 11 a.m., Wednesday, January 8.  ONE Sushi features noodle bowls, dumplings, bubble tea, and fresh-made and sustainably sourced sushi.  Freshly packaged sushi will also be available on a to-go basis at the Daily Grind.  One Sushi will be open Monday through Friday from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. 

TUCK SHOP CHANGES
With the closing of the Pitt Stop, we are making many of the popular menu items (including several breakfast sandwiches and the beloved Club Stack) in the Tuck Shop.  Hot breakfast sandwiches (Maple Bacon Sandwich, Egg & Cheese Sandwich, Bacon Egg & Cheese Sandwich & Margarita Fresca Panini) and the highly popular Club Stack will be available at Grill 27 Monday – Friday from 7:30-10:30 a.m. Grill 27 will also serve the Club Stack from 11:00 a.m. - 7:00 p.m.

After receiving more than 140 votes, students have chosen Tu Taco to remain as the Student Choice option in the Tuck Shop for the first half of the spring term.  Voting will soon be under way for the Student Choice concept for mid-term.  Options will be Ciao Bella, Pom & Honey, Urban Revolution, and Tu Taco.

PJ’S ENHANCEMENTS
As part of our ongoing efforts to enhance the dining experience in PJ’s, we have implemented the following the spring:

  • The pizza station (La Cucina) will now be open on the weekends, along with the grill.
  • The Performance Kitchen will be in full operation, offering weekly featured cuisines, including Asian, Italian, and Mediterranean, and deli melts made-to-order as you wait.   
  • Made-to-order baked pasta dishes will be available at the pizza station.  Each day will feature a different pasta with a choice of sauce.

MEAL PLAN CHANGE DEADLINE
The deadline to change your meal plan to a lower one is 5 p.m., Friday, January 10.  You can change to a higher meal plan at any time during the semester.  An example of changing to a higher plan is switching to one that includes more meals or dining dollars.  To change your meal plan log into Passport and go to the Johnstown Campus Housing & Dining Services task center.  You can view the complete list of meal plan options and rates on our website.

FOOD ALLERGIES & SPECIAL DIETS
Chartwells' "Don't be Shy, Self-Identify" program provides an opportunity for you to communicate special dietary needs to the members of their culinary team.  If you have a food allergy or dietary restriction related to a medical conditions and/or religion (halal and kosher meals), create a "Don't be Shy" profile using the Dine on Campus app.  A member of the Chartwells culinary team will then contact you to discuss your specific dietary needs and outline ways to ensure a safe and enjoyable dining experience.
