Cheap Takeout and Delivery Near Seton Hall University

This article is written by a student writer from the Spoon University at Seton Hall chapter.

Sometimes, you just can’t stomach another night of dining hall food — we’ve been there. As broke college students, though, a nice dinner out isn’t always an option.

Whether it’s a cheeseburger or pizza; pop-culture’s favorite Chinese takeout or Mexican cuisine; or a light and healthy smoothie bowl to an indulgent, treat-yourself dessert, there’s plenty of options for delivery on a budget.

Spoon University has you covered when it comes to cheap takeout in South Orange, NJ — and even cheaper delivery. 

1. Miti Miti 

Get the best of @MitiMitiNJ’s Latin fare, from veggie empanadas to carne asada tacos to cheesy arepas, delivered for just $0.99 on GrubHub.

Be sure to order their queso — you can thank us later.

2. Blue Ocean Chinese

Not only do they deliver for free, but their Veggie Pad Thai is something of the best we’ve ever had.

Spoon also recommends Blue Ocean’s Sesame Chicken and Shrimp Fried Rice.

3. El Greco Pizza

There’s nothing like a hot pie after a Seton Hall basketball game at The Rock. While the Tratt may be everyone’s first thought when it comes to pizza in @DowntownSouthOrange, you can’t deny that @ElGrecoPizza973 in Seton Village comes in clutch with late nights and free delivery.

4. Juice Hub

Craving an açaí bowl but don’t want to brave the cold temps outside?

@JuiceHub_SO delivers for just $0.49 on GrubHub — brain freeze not included.

Seton Hall '23

Hi! My name is Kennedy, and I'm a pre-med student majoring in Biology and minoring in Art History at Seton Hall University in New Jersey. I can eat my weight in ahi poke bowls, tikka masala, and Graham Central Station ice cream, and cannot live without Trader Joe's Everything But the Bagel Seasoning. I love anything creative -- music, painting, writing, etc. (my art was featured in British Vogue!), and I'm convinced that I'd be Temperance Brennan from Bones in another life. I'm so excited to be a part of Spoon and share my love for food!
