OU (mid 90s)

Late Night Budget or something like that. You could get a large cheese for $4.99 and they were open later than any other place, so it was the most convenient after bar pizza.

Papa John's. They constantly did a four for $20 deal, which was perfect for those long Saturdays or Sundays of drinking and watching football or basketball.

EDIT: Oh yeah. There was a place that opened late in my college years that did pizza by the slice for like a dollar or so. They were big square pieces that were overly bready, but the perfect "the bars just shut down and I have the munchies" stop for the walk home. And the boyfriend of a friend worked there. The year after graduating, we hung out in the kitchen area one night with him and his co-workers, getting high and eating free food. That was a boss night.

And there was some other place where a friend of mine worked for a bit. Their pizza was kind of crappy, but if we brought him beer to get through his shifts, he'd hook us up with free food. And when you're in college, free low-quality pizza can be better than good stuff you actually have to pay for.

Miami University -- Bruno's, $4.00 for a whole cheese pie. I think they added something to the sauce to get you addicted.

One addition, our last year at OSU (85), we found Rotolo's in Grandview. This was the best we had, but it did not have delivery. Had it a few years ago on a trip to Columbus, it was still good.

The pizza in the student center at Ashland University is pretty good. I'm especially fond of their BBQ Chicken pizza. It was great when they were open until 2 am but they changed that 2nd semester my freshman year.

Absolutely. The one in Maumee was just as good too. When I worked at UPS, the Grab 'n Go $5 special was AMAZING! I would eat 2!

Yes sir, it is. It was quick and easy for me to run there during my lunch break and grab 2 and go back to the office and eat. Their buffet was off the charts as well.

wkfan-forgot about street scene- that was still there in the early 80s and we would go there for sitdown with relatives when they came to visit. I don't think they delivered.
