THE 2026 PHILADELPHIA POP-UP
We’re coming to Philly for the first time ever for a limited-time pop-up—and we’re bringing a whole lot of dinnerware with us. If you’ve stopped by one of our sales before, you know the drill. If you haven’t, come ready to sift through heaps of pro chef-loved dinnerware at up to 50% off typical retail prices.
Expect one-of-a-kind finds, seconds, restaurant overruns, and plenty of pieces to take home. Come early, bring a friend, and get ready to dig.

FAQ:
What’s Jono Pandolfi Designs?
Jono Pandolfi is a ceramist who has been making dinnerware for the best chefs (and their restaurants) for nearly 20 years. Everything in our collection stands up to the demands of industrial kitchens — it’s dishwasher- and microwave-safe, super-durable, and the designs always frame food beautifully.
Who are your clients in Pennsylvania?
To name a few: River Twice, LUCA, Pizzeria Salvy, Southwark, Stir at the Philadelphia Museum of Art, Morimoto, Vetri Cucina, and F&F Pizzeria.
What will be at the sale?
We’ll be bringing a wide variety of dinnerware, from classic place settings in Dark Brown and Toasted clay to unique custom jobs we originally made for hospitality clients. There will be a mix of seconds and overstock pieces that have zero flaws.
What’s a second?
A second is a ceramic piece with a small irregularity that causes it to just barely miss the quality standard for our full-price retail and restaurant orders. In other words: It’s still totally functional and in a lot of cases most people wouldn’t notice what’s off about it.
What are the prices?
Seconds pricing is now a better deal than ever (including lower prices on each of the shapes that comprise our #1 selling Coupe 4-Piece Place Setting). Throughout the shop, we’ll post prices on the walls and on tabletops. You can expect to pay anywhere from $5 for smalls like Condiment Bowls and Butter Plates to $25 for our bestselling Mugs, but it varies with each sale.

We’re offering $5 appointments during opening weekend, from Friday, September 11 through Sunday, September 13, as well as for our opening party on Thursday, September 10. The $5 will be credited toward your purchase at checkout.
