Food: Top 5 Delivery Restaurants in the C-U

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Illinois chapter.

We all have those days where we can’t imagine getting out of bed or are just too busy to go out and get food. Good thing that us UIUC Collegiates have so many restaurants that deliver on campus! However, if you’re trying to lose weight, I would suggest not ordering from these places because they definitely aren’t on the healthier side. Here are the top five best food delivery places and the top foods to try there.

1. Papa D’s

When you’re craving something fried and delicious, this is defiantly the place to order in from. If you order from here, you should try the chicken fingers with honey mustard sauce. They’re so meaty and juicy, these chicken fingers can make anyone smile even on their worst day. If you’ve already tried these, then this time try their grilled chicken pita sandwich. Whenever I’m trying to be healthy, this is such a good choice to eat. One of my other favorites from Papa D’s is their buffalo chicken wrap. It defiantly has a kick to it, which makes it amazing.

2. Rosatis

This is the perfect place if you are craving Italian food that makes you feel better inside. Surprisingly, their hot dogs are very good, especially if you add grilled onion on top. Another favorite of mine is their chicken Parmesan served on top of pasta. But of course, when going here, you need to get their pizza! The deep dish is my favorite and needs to be sampled by everyone before they graduate!

3. Wingin’ Out

When you need your Super Bowl worthy food fix, this is the place to call immediately. Their boneless wings could even make the witch from the “Wizard of Oz” happy! So crispy and tender, they almost melt in your mouth! Another must have is their mozzarella sticks! But, their all-time best is their macaroni bites! Honestly, what could be better than mac and cheese in a breaded ball?

4. D.P Dough

D.P. Dough honestly has the best calzones I have ever tried. When ordering here, you must get the “Ranch Buffer,” the “Roni Zoni” or the “Drop.” These are the top three best calzones that everyone needs to experience while they are at school! If you’re not into any of these, don’t you fret! You can always try a make-your-own calzone!

5. My Thai

Although ordering sushi out may seem a little questionable and disgusting, I urge you to order this for delivery! The rolls you must try are the “Florida Roll” and the “Champaign Roll,” they are just so flavorful! If you’re not in the mood for sushi, they had an amazing noodle dish called “Udon Chicken.” It has a great flavor and is full of delicious vegetables.
