Pizza yourself happy

At a campus where anything anyone does seems to be a statement, the phrase “you are what you eat” rings true above all else. Additionally, “breakfast is the most important meal of the day” is also pretty accurate, but not in its conventional sense. \nLate night pizza is certainly one of the biggest staples of college life. If you search “pizza” in the online Yellow Pages for Bloomington, 51 businesses have it in their name, and 27 have it listed in their information. \nWith this abundance of pizza-serving businesses, one would think there would be a pizza joint to meet the wants and needs of every IU students. For students, where they choose to get their pizza can often determine their personality.\nWith four locations in Bloomington, Pizza Express is hands down the most popular pizza place in town. It was founded in 1982 by a Kelley business student to break the pizza monopoly, although it seems to have established its own nowadays.\nThe typical IU student is going to order delivery from Pizza Express. This is the choice for wholesome Midwestern boys and girls after an adventurous night on the town. It’s also the choice for overzealously horny kids, as the restaurant sometimes provides free condoms to its customers. Talk about great marketing! \nLocated on North Walnut Street right next to the Bluebird, Rockit’s Famous Pizza serves to fill the stomachs of inebriated club hoppers. The place reminds me of a New York pizzeria.\nBut if you aren’t inebriated and still happen to be on North Walnut Street, Greek’s Pizzeria — with its glorious sweet dough — serves as a great alternative. Greek’s also has great pasta and salad dishes. Greek’s is too often overlooked. It’s like that band everyone loves, but will never get its video on MTV or the radio.\nIf you’re looking for a great choice for pizza regardless of whether you are sober or drunk, look no further than Third Street’s Mother Bear’s. Mother Bear’s isn’t trying to be anything more than a pizzeria with quality food, and it also serves as a great hangout spot. This is for your chill college student who values excellence and a modest mentality.\nWhile Aver’s Pizzeria is known for its gourmet, tasty dishes, it might be a bit too much for a college student. \nBloomington’s varied pizza selection just offers more proof of why it’s the ideal college town. Like IU’s selection of majors and the city’s numerous bars, the pizza market offers enough variety for students to find their respective niches. So whether you’re a party girl or boy or just looking for whatever’s best, there’s no reason you can’t find what you’re looking for.
