Fall at the University of Oregon means tailgates, housewarming parties, and nights juuust cold enough that you don’t want to leave the safety of your fuzzy blanket to go pickup some late night snacks. Luckily for you, Eugene has some of the best delivery food around.

Joke as you will about college students eating nothing but sandwiches, ramen, and cereal, but making the perfect sandwich is no easy feat. Big Town Hero lets students go beyond the usual bologna and wonder bread combo with gourmet sandwiches like the Very Berry Turkey, a Thanksgiving themed favorite, and the Arti Parm Chicken — a sandwich with artichoke parmesan spread so good it will make you regret every other boring sandwich you’ve ever eaten.
Pizza Pipeline

Pizza is the universally accessible food: always there for you, always delicious. And at Oregon, Pizza Pipeline reigns supreme, filling more delivery orders than any other place in Eugene. This place has you covered on everything from their classic cheese to the 7th power pizza to their more eccentric taco, bacon cheeseburger deluxe, and thai peanut supreme pizzas. Oh, and don’t forget to add on an order of tricky stix.
Wild Duck Cafe

Just because you’re a student doesn’t mean you have to survive on frozen Lean Cuisine meals — college kids deserve locally sourced, gourmet food too. For high end food and local flair, Wild Duck Cafe has you covered with everything from starting line platters and Chips Kelly for your football watch parties, to eggs Benedict with made-from-scratch hollandaise sauce for your lazy Sunday mornings. Because seriously who doesn’t want to order sourdough pancakes for a cozy breakfast in bed?

If you’re looking for a taste of authentic Eugene counter culture and a delivery guy who won’t judge you for answering the door with red, glazy eyes —don’t stress, it’s legal now — you better put in a call to Cheba Hut. This stoner-inspired restaurant can hook you up with cotton mouth cures, munchies, fresh herbs, and top shelf sandwiches in three sizes: nugs, pinners, and blunts. Even if weed culture isn’t your thing, Cheba Hut has a spicy chicken sub and rice krispie bars you don’t want to miss out on.
