    Bennidito's Pizza

    A local jewel. The pizza and calzones are fantastic. Always some good beers on tap, or you can get a bucket full. Recommended: garlic cheese bread, beer buddies, chicken wings, pesto ranch dressing, hot Italian sausage, saxon pizza, New Yorker calzone.

    Dick's Hamburgers

    A Spokane institution, serving up the quickest and most efficient cholesterol-delivery systems in the state. No relation to the Dick's chain in Seattle.

    Didier's Yogurt & More

    Quality fast food from a family-owned business. Great burgers and frozen yogurt. On the north side near Whitworth College.
