“We specialize in meat pies; there’s no one else in the area that really does it,” Perkett told What Now San Diego. Among other dishes, the company serves up South African Sausage, sausage rolls, lamb curries and chicken curries. You won’t want to skim over the dessert menu either.

And good news for fans of the company—permit intel acquired by What Now San Diego reveals Perky’s is expanding its operations. A permit application shows the intent for “tenant improvement” to the retail catering shop. Perky’s is looking at a new Type 1 hood system and cook line equipment, an added interior wall, and added rooftop equipment.

Perky’s San Diego is located at 8280 Clairemont Mesa Blvd. Perkett said of the improvements, “it will mean that we can increase production.”

In addition to the SD spot, Perky’s has a location in Scottsdale, AZ. Perkett also shared that the company is interested in breaking into the Los Angeles market in the near future.
