CINCINNATI -- Want Skyline cheese coneys delivered to your office?

You are not alone, said David Mette, general manager for online-based food delivery service OrderUp. Since OrderUp launched in Cincinnati in July 2015, Skyline coneys have been among the foods ordered most from the service's 80-plus partner restaurants.

Participating restaurants range from chains such as Chipotle to local eateries such as Press on Monmouth in Newport. Users order food via OrderUp's website or smartphone app and can track orders via a delivery driver's GPS.

Hey Insiders: Is this Order Up story making you hungry? Guess what... you can get $9 off your first order from Order Up just for being Insiders. 

"We are busiest toward the end of the week going into the weekend," said Mette, who agreed to share OrderUp's 10 most popular restaurants for orders, in alphabetical order.

Chicago Gyros and Dogs began serving gyros, hamburgers and fries in southwest Ohio 35 years ago. Today it is one of the most popular places for deliveries on OrderUp. The eatery's gyro pita sandwich and fries are two of the most ordered items, Mette said.

Chipotle Mexican Grill's declining sales nationwide have not affected its popularity in Cincinnati, according to Mette. Based on the volume of deliveries made by OrderUp each day, Chipotle is still a top choice for lunchtime crowds.

City Barbeque is the only place where people can order brisket, pulled pork and other slow-cooked meats for delivery through OrderUp, making it a popular restaurant to order something a little saucy.

Gomez Salsa's walk-up window in Over-the-Rhine is the most popular spot to order Mexican food via OrderUp. Mette said Gomez's turtle, tacos and bowls top OrderUp's list of most-delivered dishes.

Keystone's Mac Shack is melting hearts on OrderUp with its macaroni-and-cheese-only menu, which features the same mac and cheese served at Keystone Bar & Grill's three local sit-down restaurants.

Los Potrillos in Clifton is another eatery frequently ordered from on OrderUp; its chips, salsa and cheese dip are among OrderUp's most ordered items.

Mr. Sushi takes top billing for sushi deliveries through OrderUp. The Downtown restaurant has become popular for its half-price sushi deals. 

Red Pepper: OrderUp users regularly request Red Pepper's fried rice, egg rolls and other Asian-inspired dishes for delivery.

Shanghai Mama's is not only another popular spot for deliveries, the restaurant's crab rangoon is one of the most requested food items on OrderUp.

Skyline Chili: It's always Skyline time, according to the number of delivery orders filled each day through OrderUp. Cheese coneys, three-ways and the Chilito also made OrderUp's list of most requested food items.
