Whether one is in the mood for chicken ziti or veggie stromboli, Biaggio's has it covered. They also have a breakfast menu that includes breakfast pizza, available from 7a to 11a. There are a few dessert offerings as well, including fried dough. And of course, don't forget the garlic knots. -Amy Tjaden

KoMex Express actually takes Chinese and soul food into their menu, too. -Amy Tjaden
