Pizza is more than just a food for college students. It serves so many purposes. It provides much needed nourishment during those long, late night study sessions. It gives party goers something to do besides drink and get rejected by women. It’s a much needed form of sustenance during a raging hangover. It does so many things that if we lived in medieval times, the person who created it would be dubbed a warlock and burned at the stake. College towns are also littered with pizza places. That’s why GreatValueColleges picked the 50 best and cheapest ones for your convenience.
They found the 50 greatest and most affordable pizza joints in America’s major college cities and compiled them in one tasty list. Virginia Tech University’s Benny Marzano’s topped the list as the best, cheap pizza joint by sticking to a simple formula for pizza: keep it simple. The place only offers three types of pizza and a couple of specials but the slices are cheap and tasty and the pies themselves as massive. You can buy a whole pie of cheese, pepperoni or sausage that’s 28 inches across for just $35. That’s enough pizza to last you for every late night study session for an entire semester!
The list also has some pretty unique pizza shop concepts such as Pizza Shuttle near Kansas State University that offers cream cheese on their pies, Hot Truck Pizza and Subs at Cornell University where you can turn any pizza into a pizza sandwich and Mesa Pizza near the University of Minnesota that offers interested pizza flavors such as gyro, macaroni and cheese and guacamole burrito.
