Excellent place to get a delicious but cheap pizza (~$9 for any pizza, made fresh) and even cheaper beer (~$2 microbrews!!!). Very good grocery store too with lots of good specials. They're open until 11pm.

Great subs made fresh in the deli (much better than subway, and about the same price), and all your grocery shopping needs. Non-speciality items are cheaper here than at Lucky's or Wards. Often times they have BOGO deals on beer and snacks.
