Though delivery kicks off at the early hour of 11 a.m., this is one pizza joint you may want to eat-in at. Colorful murals, handwritten menu boards and meal-in-itself aromas make it hard to resist pulling up a chair. Once you do, you'll get your pick of pretty much anything your lil' heart desires: Pasta, subs, salads and calzones join a full roster of thin crust, pan and stuffed pizzas.

Your large, 16-inch cheese will run you a pleasant $11.75, which you can then personalize with your pick of roasted red peppers, pineapple, grilled chicken and more. The sandwiches, served on fresh Turano bread with chips, coleslaw or cold pasta salad, average $5.25, and include mouth-watering appetizers-gone-meal-worthy like buffalo chicken breast and chicken bruschetta sandwiches. Friendly to a T, Amato's kindly asks that you "please leave porch light on for delivery person."

Average cost: $10-$20
