A Roundabout Pick: Vintage Pizzeria, downtown Crabapple

Vintage Pizzeria has been the family-friendly anchor of downtown Crabapple for years — pizza, pasta, cheesesteaks, salads, and sandwiches at prices that don't punish a midweek dinner with the kids. The bar always seems to have a good mix: folks eating solo, the sports-watching crowd, the occasional date night. Small outdoor patio for good-weather days.

What to actually order: pizza (duh), the Caesar salad, whatever the soup of the day happens to be, the cheesesteaks, the wings — and don't sleep on the garlic bread.

Two things worth knowing: the lunch specials are genuinely inexpensive, and Wednesdays bring half-bottle wine pricing. Closed Mondays.
