If you have driven around Searcy, you may have noticed that while students were gone over the summer, the city has grown more in the direction of Little Italy.<\/p>\n
Several pizza places have popped up including Bailey’s Pizza and Marco’s Pizza, not to mention all of the pre-existing pizzerias in town.<\/p>\n
Bailey’s Pizza is located just across the street from campus at 1100 E. Race Ave. Its convenience is nice for students and faculty looking to grab a quick bite on a lunch break.<\/p>\n
The $4.95 (with student discount) all-you-can-eat buffet is filled with delicious pizza of all flavors. My personal favorite is the original pepperoni pizza, but the turkey-bacon-ranch came in a close second. The buffet also includes a green salad that you can top with shredded cheese, cubed ham, onions, bacon bits, croutons and numerous other toppings along with any dressing that suits your fancy.<\/p>\n
Bailey’s Pizza also provides customers with a loyalty card, and after nine buffet purchases, you receive your 10th for free, and who doesn’t love free things?<\/p>\n
The wait staff could not have been more helpful and friendly. They supplied endless amounts of pizza to all of their customers, and I wanted to keep eating because it was so delicious.<\/p>\n
So fellas, if you are looking for a place to take that girl you have been eyeing in class, I give Bailey’s the stamp of approval.<\/p>\n
On the other hand, Marco’s Pizza is a more upscale choice. Marco’s is a little bit further from campus, located at 1221 W. Beebe Capps Expressway, so it could be a nice getaway. Marco’s has an $8.99 special on their 1-topping pizzas, which of course I indulged in and got the pepperoni pizza. This was an excellent choice as their dough was hand-tossed right in front of my eyes. The pizza was fresh out of the oven, so the pepperoni and cheese struggled to stay on the pizza as I anxiously bit into it. After I gave it a chance to cool down, the pizza was heavenly.<\/p>\n
Marco’s offers free wi-fi if you would like to stuff your face while finishing up assignments. Although Marco’s can be a little pricey for us college students that are on a shoestring budget, it is very convenient that they offer delivery and run specials frequently.<\/p>\n
Don’t forget about the other pizza places in town. These include Little Caesar’s, Mazzio’s, Papa John’s, Brick Oven Pizza, Dominoes and Pizza Hut.<\/p>\n
We, as college students, are the customers these businesses are fighting over, which is the best possible sotuation to be in because that means more discounts and deals for us.<\/p>\n
So next time you go out to eat, don’t be shy about sporting that Harding ID and asking for a discount because you, my friend, are one valued customer.<\/p>\n
