1. Bristol House of Pizza

On State Street in Bristol, this family owned pizza restaurant will soon become your favorite. Pizzas, pasta, sandwiches, chicken wings, french fries and more all for an affordable price. I can tell you from personal experience that their mozzarella sticks are 10/10. As an added bonus, they deliver on and off campus!

2. Nacho Mamma's

Nacho Mamma's is a relatively new, family friendly Mexican restaurant just up the street from Bristol House of Pizza. It's a little pricier than Bristol House of Pizza, but the portions are large enough that you can easily split meals between friends. If you're too lazy to walk all the way to Commons for dinner, they deliver to campus, too.

3. Riccotti's Sandwich Shop

Okay, so they don't deliver here, but I promise it's worth the ride (and it's right off the RIPTA route, too, so it isn't too hard to get there). If you're looking for a nice sub, or a party sandwich platter, or some really good french fries, this is the place to go. This can get a little pricey if everyone in your party gets their own meals, but it's much cheaper (and easier) to split the subs. All in all, a quality choice for an afternoon out in Bristol.

4. Bristol Bagel Works

Right on Hope Street in downtown Bristol, the Bagel Shop (as it's known to locals) is the best place for breakfast foods. All of the bagels, pastries and cream cheeses are made fresh daily in the back of the store. If you're ever out and about and it's too early for lunch but you're still hungry, this is a solid choice. It may be a bit more expensive than Dunkin Donuts (nickels and dimes more, really) but the quality is worth it.

5. Quito's Restaurant & Bar

If seafood is your thing, Quito's is open in the warmer seasons. It's right on the water, and always promises fresh seafood. But get it while you can, because they close for the season on October 30!

6. Papa Joe's Wrap Shack

The Wrap Shack is an absolute necessity for you NYC people who miss your thin crust pizzas. They've got a killer selection on specialty wraps and a build your own burger menu, too. Two people can easily eat for about $10 from Wrap Shack, and they deliver on campus, too.

7. Lucky Garden Chinese Restaurant

If you're like me, and you need some good Chinese food while you're studying for midterms or crying about the latest tragedy on Grey's Anatomy, Lucky Garden is really the best choice. With affordable prices and free delivery to campus, you should really just put Lucky Garden on your speed dial.

8. Zelia's Diner

This place doesn't deliver, either, but they can't deliver that small town diner feel, am I right? If you're looking to replicate that feeling of nostalgia you can only get with a good cup of coffee and a cheap plate of bacon and eggs, look no further. Zelia's is right off the RIPTA route in a plaza on the corner of Hope St. and Gooding Ave. It is a cash only establishment, but the bottomless coffee, breakfast until 2 in the afternoon, homemade milkshakes and friendly wait staff make it all worth it.
