Cheap and delicious food. Known for some eccentricities, such as not having to pay for food, if you know a certain "wave." Oliveri's Pizzeria is not known for being frilly. They make solid pizza, pasta dishes, as well as other Italian specialties rather straightforwardly. If you are unsure as to what to get, the pepperoni pizza rolls are particularly recommended as well as their greek salad.

Stop down for a casual meal, bar open until 2am, food until 9 or 10. Family owned and operated restaurant with a fun, casual atmosphere. Perfect for large dinner parties or just a quick bite with a few friends. Tons of sandwiches, appetizers, entrees, and homemade desserts. Great salad bar with lots of selections. Fun late night bar scene with drink specials and 12 beers on tap.
