Best Eatery on a Budget (2015 Staff Pick)

Smug's

Smug's is the only place in the world where standing in line is OK. When you see the line bulging out the door, that's a good sign. It moves fast. The whole time you can peer over the queue into the little pizza carousel, hoping the slice you've been eyeballing doesn't get scooped. It's better than a horse race. And if you lose, so what — they're all good. Soft, sweet dough cooked to crispy perfection. Best of all (and the reason Smug's won the category), you can get two giant, sloppy slices of pizza for under $5. Swaggering back into work, the pizza grease running down your arm is badge to be worn proudly.
