11 Meal-Prep Delivery Services Based in Greater Phoenix

What a world we live in, where you can push a few buttons and somebody will prepare and deliver entire ready-to-eat meals right to your door.

880 East Lone Cactus Drive

This Phoenix-based company offers cooked-to-order meals for home delivery and corporate catering.

The couple even gets help from their kids when preparing meals, which you can see for yourself on the website.

Eat Clean Phx

13901 North 73rd Street, Scottsdale

This three-old company is run by Ryan and Brittany Powell of central Phoenix. Eat Clean Phx delivers meals with a healthy bent to your home or office, including organic options.

Nutritional facts are detailed for each item.
