Eddie's Pizzeria & Eatery answers an ancient culinary dilemma: do we go out for pizza or stay in for Mom's meatloaf? Serving New World fare, the restaurant satisfies cravings in a single sweep. Even its pizzas champion this culinary marriage—New York–style pies arrive speckled with traditional toppings as well as premium options, such as rosemary ham. Yet, despite such culinary fusion, the pies never lose sight of their roots. Margherita pizza recalls the dish’s Italian heritage, whereas a 10-inch gourmet Bada Bing represents pizza’s modern stomping grounds with sausage, gorgonzola, and a mini “I Heart NY” shirt.

The menu also explores a large landscape of pasta entrees, from four-cheese ravioli to penne sautéed with mushrooms in a tomato-cream sauce. Meatier plates continue to span continents, with chicken parmesan prepped near st. louis ribs and handcrafted Angus burgers. As patrons strip tangy wings bare, they can watch the venue's eight televisions, two of which boast 70-inch HD screens.

The dinner menu at Corfu is packed with traditional dishes that are classic and polite enough to carry out to meet the parents. A Greek coffee ($1.95) and an appetizer of dolmades (stuffed grape leaves, $3.95) or cheese boreg (pan-fried cheese turnover, $5.95) lay down a proper foundation to support a mealtime skyscraper. Follow the appetite whetters with traditional souvlaki, a filet mignon kebab marinated and flame-broiled with vegetables ($17.95), or moussaka (eggplant casserole, $11.95), or dip into the briny blue with the ahi tuna ($18.95). An after-dinner drink such as cappuccino (single $2.95, double $3.95) or café mocha ($3.25, $4.25) paired with one of the fresh dessert pastries (made daily, ask your server for pricing) closes the book on a meal with authority, staring lesser poets in the eye and daring them to steal a few flavorful lines.

Rose City Pizza creates Italian cuisine and authentic New York¬–style pizzas using high-quality ingredients and handmade pizza dough. Drawing on their Scuola Italiano Pizzaioli–certified skills, master pizza chefs knead, toss, and transform flour paste into a flurry of large specialty pizzas. Although the selection varies from day to day, Rose City always offers cheese-pie lovers a marvelous variety of tomato sauciness. Cherry peppers and melted mozzarella on a slice of Spicy Pepperoni admirably complement most pool-cleaning parties, and the Spinach Pie (white sauce, garlic, and sautéed spinach) is certain to please cheek-pinching matriarchs and inflatable-forearmed sailor men alike. To celebrate a victory or commiserate over a defeat, sports fans can stick around and indulge in Canadian ham, bacon bits, and pineapple chunks waiting on The Aloha, gulp a slice of Tomato Pesto, or find comfort in a doughy disc of meat-shunning Veggie Delight. Swing by the restaurant or call ahead to see what specialty offerings are available that day.

Chefs at Dog Haus's dual locations fuse German culinary tradition with Southern Californian flavors and ingredients. Six types of sausage, such as skinless beef dogs and gourmet bratwursts, as well as burgers lay sandwiched between pieces of King's hawaiian bread, which wraps contents in the sweet warmth of a quilted scuba suit. Beneath clouds of aromatic steam, bundles sport predetermined fixings or don some of 32 inventive toppings, which include egg, chili, and avocado. In a beer garden at the eatery's original location, German and Californian craft brews flow from taps in sudsy cascades while live musicians serenade sun-steeped diners. Guests avoid overly friendly fire hydrants with free parking, and Dog Haus' staff travels to sate distant appetites with delivery and catering services.
