8 Gourmet Treats From Goldbelly to Maximize Your Amex Gold Dining Credit

Goldbelly is an online marketplace through which you can order iconic foods from celebrated restaurants, bakeries, and chefs all over the U.S. For foodies, the opportunity to order legendary eats from some of the country’s top restaurants without having to travel is a huge win.

With the American Express^® Gold Card, cardmembers can enjoy up to $10 monthly dining credits (up to $120 per year) that can be used at Goldbelly, as well as other eligible restaurants and food services like Grubhub and The Cheesecake Factory (enrollment required).

Let’s take a look at some of the most delicious items you can buy on Goldbelly with your Amex Gold card’s $10 monthly dining credit.

1. Lou Malnati’s Deep Dish Pizzas (Chicago)

Let’s start with one of the most sought-after items available for purchase through Goldbelly — authentic Chicago deep-dish pizza. This isn’t just any deep-dish, though. It’s from the Windy City’s renowned chain, Lou Malnati’s.

Their pizzas are crafted by hand from scratch. They feature mozzarella cheese and vine-ripened plum tomatoes on a flaky, buttery, and famously thick crust.

Goldbelly sells a 4-pack of 9-inch Lou Malnati’s deep-dish pizzas designed to feed 6 to 8 people for $129.99. Topping choices include classic cheese, pepperoni, sausage, or spinach.

If you don’t have a vacation to Chicago planned but find yourself craving the city’s most famous food, you can order Lou Malnati’s on Goldbelly and get up to $10 in statement credits with your Amex Gold card.

2. Russ & Daughters (New York City)

Many claim New York City bagels are superior because of the city’s soft, low-mineral water. This is said to change the gluten structure of the dough, producing a chewier, crisper bagel.

While the water may play a role, the real magic lies in the traditional NYC bagel-making techniques. And no one excels at this quite like Russ & Daughters, the esteemed Jewish appetizing shop celebrated for its smoked salmon, lox, caviar, and, of course, bagels.

For over a century, the shop has been providing New Yorkers with delicacies. Although ordering just bagels is an option, it may not be the most sensible choice when you consider the shipping costs.

We suggest opting for the New York Brunch (serves 6), which includes 1 pound of Nova smoked salmon, 6 assorted bagels, 1 pound of plain cream cheese, 1 chocolate babka, 1 pound of private blend coffee, and a Russ & Daughters ceramic storefront mug, all for $195.

3. Eventide Oyster Co. (Portland, Maine)

Few things are as challenging to replicate at home as authentic Maine lobster rolls. The brown butter lobster rolls at Eventide Oyster Co., a James Beard Award-winning oyster bar, have gained a stellar reputation since 2012.

Instead of using a toasted hot dog bun, the restaurant in Portland, Maine, serves an unusual (but delicious) brown butter lobster roll that consists of a bao bun filled with Maine lobster meat covered in rich brown butter.

The 4-pack brown butter lobster roll kit is reasonably priced at $89.95, especially given that it includes fresh Maine lobster delivered right to your doorstep.

4. Franklin Barbecue (Austin)

Texas is home to some of the best BBQ in the world, and deciding on the “best” restaurant is difficult because it depends on your preferred style — brisket, ribs, sausage, or whole hog. Nonetheless, Franklin Barbecue is undoubtedly Texas’ most well-known BBQ joint.

For $269.95, you can treat a big group to some of the best BBQ around with a package that includes 1 whole brisket (approximately 4.5 to 5 pounds) and a bottle of Texas Original BBQ sauce.

This BBQ company boasts a devoted fanbase, making delivery through Goldbelly an unforgettable experience for BBQ lovers!

5. Primanti Bros. (Pittsburgh)

If you’ve ever visited the Steel City, otherwise known as Pittsburgh, you’ve likely stopped by Primanti Bros., arguably the city’s most popular eatery. Here, you’ll find overstuffed sandwiches piled high with grilled meats, crispy French fries, and tangy coleslaw served between 2 slices of fresh Italian bread.

If you’re in the mood for a loaded pastrami sandwich from this iconic establishment, you can purchase a Primanti Bros. pastrami sandwich pack. It serves 4 people and costs $99.95.

It includes all the essentials to create 4 delicious pastrami sandwiches in the comfort of your own home: a loaf of Primanti’s Italian bread, fresh-cut pastrami, 4 slices of Primanti’s cheese, French fries, coleslaw, 2 tomatoes, and 2 packets of Red Devil hot sauce.

6. Chef Michael Symon (Cleveland)

Imagine enjoying a delicious dinner prepared by a James Beard Award-winning chef while saving money and having it conveniently delivered to your door. That’s precisely what you can do with Goldbelly.

Chef Michael Symon, a former co-host of the Emmy-winning television program The Chew and a James Beard Award winner, offers his exquisite cuisine straight from his kitchen to yours.

You can order a kit that contains many of Chef Symon’s most famous dishes, such as 24 pierogies filled with crispy beef cheek stewed in tomato and red wine, 8 kielbasa, “Cleveland Kraut,” and garnishes — the perfect hearty meal to quickly heat up and enjoy at home.

Symon’s Signature Dinner Kit serves 4 to 6 people and costs $169.95, a good value considering up to 6 people can enjoy the meal!

7. Central Grocery Muffulettas (New Orleans)

The muffuletta is a famous sandwich hailing from Central Grocery & Deli in New Orleans’ French Quarter. If you enjoy Italian sandwiches (think of a Sicilian sesame loaf filled with ham, salami, mortadella, and cheese along with olive salad), then this spot is definitely worth a visit.

However, if you can’t make it to New Orleans and are craving a muffuletta, Central Grocery delivers its authentic sandwiches nationwide through Goldbelly, enabling you to experience the authentic taste without having to make the journey to the Big Easy.

Each muffuletta is created fresh to order, and for $125.95, you can get a 2-pack of the original muffuletta sandwich. It will serve 6 to 8 people, which is quite reasonable if this iconic sandwich piques your interest.

8. Ina Garten’s Barefoot Contessa (East Hampton, New York)

Ina Garten, better known as the Barefoot Contessa, has teamed up with Goldbelly to bring her beloved desserts straight to your home. In the kitchen of the 2-time James Beard Award winner in East Hampton, New York, the talented baker prepares her tasty treats, such as her famous Coconut Cake and Beatty’s Chocolate Cake.

You can order Ina’s famous coconut cake, which serves 6 to 8 people and is priced at $99.95. For an additional $20, you can upgrade to a larger cake that serves 10 to 12 guests. No matter what size you choose, you’ll enjoy a world-renowned cake at your upcoming gathering and can take advantage of your Amex Gold card’s up to $10 monthly dining credit.
