With so many places to choose from when it comes to a quick, cheap eat, Il Mondo should be at the top of your list. really. Their menu is nothing but creative and titillating concoctions of quirky and yummy ingredients (think goat cheese and pesto sauce). For around 2 dollars, you can get one very large slice of gourmet pizza with the best not-too-soft, not-too-crispy crust and topped with fresh sauce and toppings. However-if you're looking for a romantic cheap date, this is not your place. Slightly lacking in their decor, this is great take-out, run-out place where you can eat your pizza in a slightly more cozy environment. (There's a nice little park a block away called Puddingstone Park with an amazing skyline view of the city that might prove a better place to enjoy your delicious pizza).

Domino's Pizza. Cheap, quick, and fills you up when you are hungry.

This shop is your traditional pizza, sub, wing, basic pasta place. Right near Punter's Pub, so it's a perfect stop for when you have the munchies. While the restaurant is quite run down, lacks cleanliness, and has had continuous health violations, it has it defenders. Think cheap food, cheap eats. You get what you pay for. Keep in mind: Minimum for delivery: $9.95. Delivery charge: $1.50
