Goldbelly is a specialty food e-commerce platform that ships iconic regional foods and restaurant dishes from across the United States directly to customers' doors. Founded in 2013 by Joe Ariel, the company connects consumers with legendary local restaurants, bakeries, delis, and food artisans that were previously only accessible by visiting their physical locations.
The platform features thousands of products from hundreds of food purveyors, including famous dishes like deep-dish pizza from Lou Malnati's in Chicago, cheesecake from Junior's in Brooklyn, barbecue from Franklin Barbecue in Austin, lobster rolls from Luke's Lobster, and bagels from Russ & Daughters in New York. All items are packed with care and shipped overnight or via expedited delivery to ensure freshness, using specialized packaging with dry ice or gel packs as needed.
Goldbelly has expanded beyond individual food items to offer curated gift boxes, subscription plans, meal kits, and virtual cooking experiences. The platform also features a partnership program with celebrity chefs and Food Network stars who offer exclusive items. Goldbelly has become a popular gifting destination and has been particularly valued by food enthusiasts who want to experience iconic regional American cuisine without traveling.
