People drive from Wisconsin, Indiana, and across Chicagoland just to experience these legendary cheese sticks—now available for your catered events.

Frequently Asked Questions
What makes Frato’s mozzarella sticks different from other caterers?
While most caterers serve frozen, pre-made mozzarella sticks from a food distributor, we make every single one from scratch in-house. We hand-cut premium mozzarella, wrap it in seasoned dough, roll it in breadcrumbs, and fry it fresh. This scratch-made process is why Eat This, Not That! and Only In Your State named us the Best Mozzarella Sticks in Illinois.
How many mozzarella sticks come in a catering tray?
Each catering tray includes 15 huge handmade mozzarella sticks, served with ranch and marinara dipping sauces. You can also add chef specialty wing sauces for additional dipping options.
Why are your mozzarella sticks so big?
Because we make them from scratch, we control the size. These aren’t the skinny frozen sticks you get from a food service truck. Our huge mozzarella sticks are hand-formed logs of premium mozzarella that deliver an incredible cheese pull and satisfy guests in a way frozen appetizers never could.
What dipping sauces are included?
Every mozzarella stick tray includes ranch and marinara dipping sauces. Want to make it even more unique? Add one of our chef specialty wing sauces as an extra dipping option.
What areas do you serve?
We deliver throughout the Chicago suburbs including Schaumburg, Arlington Heights, Hoffman Estates, Elk Grove Village, Barrington, Palatine, Naperville, Downers Grove, Elmhurst, Des Plaines, Rosemont, Oak Brook, and Wheaton.
What’s your On-Time Guarantee?
We’re the only caterer in Chicago’s suburbs that guarantees on-time delivery. If we’re more than 15 minutes late, your order is FREE. Learn more about our guarantee.
Are the mozzarella sticks vegetarian?
Yes! Our huge handmade mozzarella sticks are vegetarian-friendly, making them a perfect appetizer option for mixed groups.
