Quick answer: Today is Sunday 11 October 2026 — weekly menu pickup at Pierina’s Laval kitchen is 4:00–7:00 p.m. only at 3954 Bd Leman (H7E 1A1). Tomorrow is Canadian Thanksgiving; this window is for the weekly cart you locked last Wednesday, not holiday catering unless your quote says otherwise. Delivery chose Sunday or Wednesday 3:00–7:00 p.m. within ~50 km.
What Sunday pickup is — and is not
Sunday pickup is the weekly-menu handoff. You ordered before Wednesday 11:59 p.m. America/Montreal; the kitchen cooked for this prepared date; you arrive during the three-hour window with your confirmation. It is not walk-in retail. It is not catering tray collection unless scheduled that way in a quote.
Wednesday 3:00–7:00 p.m. is delivery only — pickup at the counter on Wednesday ended in March. If a neighbour mentions “Wednesday pickup on Leman,” that clock is wrong.
Before Thanksgiving Monday: fridge planning
Many households pick up tonight, refrigerate mains in grams and 900 ml soups, and still serve catering or family cooking tomorrow. Weekly food is weeknight insurance after the holiday — chili, curry, Wellington portions listed on the live menu rotate each week.
Thanksgiving drop-off trays come from catering quotes — same MAPAQ line, different appointment. We do not list a turkey SKU.
At the kitchen: practical expectations
- Window: 4:00–7:00 p.m. — arrive inside it; traffic on Duvernay and Highway 25 can spike before holiday Monday.
- Address: 3954 Bd Leman, Laval QC H7E 1A1 — MAPAQ kitchen, not office-hours-only lobby food.
- Labels: match your order name; Family serves four, Individual one, soups in millilitres.
- Salads: if you added assemble your salad, pack for cold separately from hot mains.
Could not pick up? Delivery and permanent menu
If you selected Sunday delivery within ~50 km — Rosemont, Saint-Eustache, Greenfield Park, Pierrefonds among pins on the zones guide — watch for the driver window, not pickup hours.
Missed the whole week? Permanent menu (from 1 October) orders any day without weekly lock. Next weekly list opens its own Wednesday 11:59 p.m. cycle.
Catering vs weekly on a holiday weekend
Monday’s long table may be catering from drop-off catering or your own stove. Tonight’s bags are the rotating weekly cook — two products, one stove. Compare on weekly vs permanent. No subscription.
Traffic and timing on holiday Sunday
Duvernay, Saint-Vincent-de-Paul and Highway 25 corridors get busy the Sunday before Thanksgiving Monday. Build a 4:00–7:00 p.m. window with buffer — the kitchen hands orders in that band, not one fixed minute per car.
If you chose Wednesday delivery instead
Some carts from last Wednesday’s lock arrive Wednesday 15 October 3:00–7:00 p.m. — after tomorrow’s holiday. That is normal: two clocks, one household. Permanent menu can cover Monday-Tuesday if you need food before that delivery.
Catering trays vs tonight’s weekly bags
Tomorrow’s holiday may be catering. Tonight is weekly rotation — chili, curry, or whatever the live board shows. Do not reheat catering pans and weekly containers in the same confusion; labels matter.
Next Wednesday lock still coming
Even during Thanksgiving weekend, the following Wednesday 11:59 p.m. lock applies for the next Sunday cook. Set a phone reminder before Monday turkey prep steals attention.
Sunday 11 October pickup in context
You are collecting the weekly cook that locked Wednesday 8 October at 11:59 p.m. — the first lock after the Oct 4–9 list. Tomorrow Thanksgiving may be catering, your own turkey, or restaurant — tonight’s bags are still the rotating weekly mains for the days after the holiday.
Parking and flow at 3954 Bd Leman: arrive with order name, check labels for Individual vs Family vs 900 ml soup, keep hot bags separate from salad greens. If you also booked catering for Monday, those trays follow the quote — do not assume they are in tonight’s weekly pickup line.
FAQ: Sunday meal pickup Laval
Can I send a friend?
Yes with your order details — food is labeled to your name.
Is there pickup Monday Thanksgiving?
Weekly pickup is Sunday only unless a separate catering appointment exists in writing.
Office 10:00–3:00?
Phone and quote hours — not Sunday hot pickup.
Next cutoff?
Wednesday 11:59 p.m. for the following Sunday cook — still applies after the long weekend.
Sunday pickup 4:00–7:00 p.m. at 3954 Bd Leman is the weekly handoff — the day before Thanksgiving Monday, not a substitute for holiday catering unless your quote says otherwise. Label bags, mind soup 900 ml ml labels, and remember the next Wednesday 11:59 p.m. lock still arrives on schedule after the long weekend.
From one Laval stove to Greater Montreal tables
Pierina – Plats Maison cooks at 3954 Bd Leman, Laval QC H7E 1A1 under MAPAQ. Weekly menu orders lock Wednesday 11:59 p.m. America/Montreal; pickup is Sunday 4:00–7:00 p.m. only. Delivery runs within about 50 km on Sunday if you select it, or Wednesday 3:00–7:00 p.m. — not Wednesday pickup at the counter. Permanent menu (from 1 October 2026) orders any day without that weekly cutoff. Catering is drop-off by quote — not a banquet hall, not a pizza peel, not a 150-person wedding factory. Portions on retail menus use grams and 900 ml soup pots in millilitres, never kilograms. Family serves four. There is no subscription.
Good food brings people together. If tonight is your Laval pickup window, come between 4:00 and 7:00 — then save room for tomorrow’s table and next week’s Wednesday lock.
