St. Paul Midway delivery

Are there any good places to get delivery (doesn't matter what kind of food) around Concordia College/University Ave.? I have a job where I can't leave the building and need some good options other than takeout and microwaving it later! I've tried Checkerboard and Kim Huoy Chor. Both pretty good, but I don't want to be limited to two places. Thanks!

    I work in that area and really like Acme Deli. Great sandwiches, pretty good price.

      Great prices too according to the website! I'll try that sometime in the near future.

      New Asia is on Lexington and it's our favorite Chinese delivery place.

        Is New Asia authentic Chinese and pretty healthy? Have you had Kim Huoy Chor, and if so how do they compare?

        I'm not a huge fan of Pizza Luce. I think they're overpriced and not really that great.... you pay for their hours and their topping selection. I'll try Eden Pizza.

          I also live in this neighborhood. I don't think New Asia is authentic, at all. It's ok.

          I agree re: Pizza Luce.

          I really wish we had better delivery in our area, especially in winter!

            Dino's Pizza on Thomas and Hamline also delivers. I like their (greasy and fairly average) pizza well enough. Agree about delivery in the Midway area. Kind of depressing, considering the wonderful restaurants surrounding us.

              Shoot, I was hoping that there would be a bunch of options since I haven't really explored that much before now. That's a downer. Are there any options that aren't so hot but still deliver? Anything other than Chinese or pizza?

                Unfortunately, no.

                If you can do carry out, there are a lot more options.

                  I can do that at times. What do you suggest?

                    Mango Thai on Selby and Dale is a new option. It's good. Pad Thai on Grand, between Snelling and Fairview is fairly good.

                    Bona Vietnamese on Lexington and University is ok.

                    Everest on Grand, between Lexington and Hamline is good.

                    I'll try to think of more.

        Green Mill isn't the most chowish food ever, but they deliver their whole menu (and actually have decent wings). I'm quite sure you would be in their delivery range.

        Eden Pizza just north of University on Aldine might also deliver to you. I've only had their pizza once, but it was delicious.

          What is the Eden Pizza like? Compared to, say, other pies?
