It’s 2 o’clock am. You’ve staggered home and landed safely in bed, but oh.. what’s this? An intense hunger like you’ve never felt before? An insane need for food before you drift off into a stone old sleep? But it's too late.. You missed your opportunity and now your night is ruined… Well, not totally ruined because you did take a super cute pic that you’re amped to Instagram tomorrow, but still you’re pretty upset.
Don’t let this be you.
To aid you in your search of the perfect “End of the Night Food,” I’ve compiled a list that is sure to help you find your perfect match.
South U Pizza
We’ve all been there, whether you remember it or not. This is no one's first choice but it's probably everyone’s second. It’s one step above Back Room and six below Pizza House. For about two dollars you can burn your mouth with scolding hot mozzarella cheese on sub-par bread. You may pass by during the day and wonder if it is still in business but when 1 a.m. rolls around the line is sure to be out to door.
Poncharos
It's no Chipotle but it’ll do. We all know the real reason we found ourselves at Ponch is because Chipotle is closed and we have an unhealthy obsession with nacho cheese… and yes I know it’ll be extra for guac.
Pizza House
This is the place you take your visiting friends to. This is the holy grail of cheesy breads and is basically a worshiped relic on campus. Everyone takes personal offense when his or her visiting friend asks the question, “Isn’t this just pizza without the sauce?” No..no it's not and I think our 10 year friendship just ended.
Insomnia Cookies
Have you had pizza on the way home for the past three nights? Sick of it? Bop on into insomnia and enjoy some cookies. They may not compare to your grandma's home cooked Oatmeal raisin ones but I doubt you’ll notice.
Frat Food
This is the lowest of the low. Frat food is only consumed in times of desperate measures. You didn’t even make it out of the party before your hanger hit you so you scurry into the kitchen in a mad search of something to consume. Half-eaten hamburger in a Styrofoam container on the counter? Sure, sounds good to me.
And finally…
Back Room Pizza
The fact that the Parmesan cheese is chained to the counter really says it all. If that isn’t enough to make you go, then the fact that they serve you the pizza on a flimsy dollar store paper plate will really get you going. But hey, for one dollar you can’t beat it. Embrace your inner HoneyBooBoo child and get in line. That dollar makes me holler honeybooboo.
