Pasting your wanted JSON into http://json2csharp.com you'll get this:

public class Item
{
    public string Options { get; set; }
    public string UnitCost { get; set; }
    public string Quantity { get; set; }
    public string MenuItemId { get; set; }
}

public class Order
{
    public int LocationId { get; set; }
    public string Amount { get; set; }
    public string OrderContactEmail { get; set; }
    public string OrderContactName { get; set; }
    public Item[] items { get; set; }
    public string DeviceIdentifier { get; set; }
    public string ShipMethod { get; set; }
    public string PickupDate { get; set; }
    public string OrderContactPhone { get; set; }
}

public class Item2
{
    public string Options { get; set; }
    public string UnitCost { get; set; }
    public string Quantity { get; set; }
    public string MenuItemId { get; set; }
}

public class RootObject
{
    public Order order { get; set; }
    public Item2[] items { get; set; }
    public string DeviceIdentifier { get; set; }
    public string ShipMethod { get; set; }
    public string PickupDate { get; set; }
    public string OrderContactPhone { get; set; }
}

This should point you the direction...

You could also use some anonymous types this way:

var items = new Item[] {
    item1,
    item2
}

var json = new {
    order = new {
            LocationId = 1
            Items = items
        }
}

etc. etc.
