It's late at night. You know what
you want. They're calling. You
long for carbohydrates disguised
as a circular mixture of dough,
tomato sauce, cheese and scattered
toppings, washed down with a
Pepsi or a pitcher of draft.
Well, you don't have to go to
Chicago, St. Louis or New York
to get what you want.
All it takes is a trip down
Franklin Street.
The Pizza Hut at 1 10 W. Frank
lin St. has a relaxing atmoshphere,
which includes upper and lower
levels for seating and a wide screen
television which runs continuously
on MTV or UNC sports. Accord
ing to assistant manager Russ
Clift, Pizza Hut's customers are
usually college students or busi
nessmen who work on Franklin
Street, since there are no parking
facilities.
Pizza Hut is a place to have beer
and pizza. However, Clifft said,
"We don't like people to come just
to drink beer. You must eat here."
Peppi's, known for its pizza,
recently added soup to its menu.
"Our soup seems to be very
popular. And we have a new recipe
for sphagetti which will be used
soon," said assistant manager

people, Calhoun said.

do promotional things about every
three months." However, God
father's does not deliver.

pizza delivery service which has a
specific zone that covers about 80
percent of Chapel Hill.
"PTA was founded in Chapel
Hill in 1973 and is now coast-to-coast,"
said Chuck Hackney, local
marketing manager for PTA Inc.
"We have two campus represen
tatives so that we can bring our
program to the students. They see
how pizza will figure into party
plans.' Hackney said all the pizza
delivery services have about the
same price ranges, but PTA offers
discount prices for parties.
Domino's Pizza has a 30
minute service guarantee. There
are two Domino's locations in
Chapel Hill that deliver and serve
pick-up orders.

Mexican flavor captured
By NANCY ATKINSON
SUIT Writer
Mexico is atmosphere a softly strumming guitar
in a dimly lit clay-orange room and the smell of
toasted corn and fruity full wine. It is an atmosphere
many Americans love and many duplicate north of
the border. Five restaurants in Chapel Hill cater to
this love of Mexican atmosphere and its spicy, cheesy
food, offering in their own ways a unique version
of surroundings and taste.
At 403 W. Rosemary St., the 14-year-old Tijuana
Fats is the oldest of Chapel Hill's Mexican
restaurants. With its more rustic dim interior,
barteRdrNancy Howard said, "The atmosphere is
to me so much more relaxed than so many other
places. It's fun."
Covering a variety of Mexican specialties. Fats has
four different menus: lunch, dinner, late-night and
Sunday brunch.
The other well established Mexican restaurant,
Papagayo, also prides itself on its food and setting.
"We make everything from scratch, even down to
the mayonnaise," said manager Robyn Miller.
Specialties include chimichangas, stuffed chilies and
quesadillas, a wheat tortilla filled with sauteed
vegetables, almonds and cheese. Dinner prices range
from $4-$9, but smaller portions at lunchtime are
$3-$4.50. Open weekdays for lunch 1 1 :30 a.m.-2 p.m.
and for dinner 5:30-9:30 p.m., the restaurant tries
to have something for everyone.
Magdalena's, at 508 W. Franklin St., is now almost
a year old. With a weekday lunch from $3-$4 and
dinners from $4-$5, manager Shelley Keller speaks
highly of her restaurant.
Everything is fresh, and different vegetable dishes
are offered all the time. Keller said, "We can have
anything from ratatouie to corn and green chilies
to broccoli in a cheese sauce." Those who enjoy hot
Mexican. food will enjoy anything with Magdalena's
special green chili sauce on it.
The Mexican Underground, at 149V2 E. Franklin
St. and the first Mexican take-out restaurant in
Chapel Hill, opened this summer. Now people can
enjoy Mexican food without sit-down dinner fr.lls.
"We're trying to be more a fast service place and
serve within 5-10 minutes. We've really worked hard
to fix the place up," said manager Don McLellan.
Located where Harrison's used to be, the restaurant
opens at 1 1 a.m. and closes at 1 2 p.m. Sunday through
Wednesday and at 1 a.m. on other nights.
The newest addition to the Mexican food roster
is the Fastbreak Mexican Delivery and Restaurant.
The Fastbreak is out on Airport Road with free
delivery to UNC, Chapel Hill and Carrboro. Serving
seven days a week beginning at 7 a.m., they offer
American breakfasts and pizza later on in the day.
Supervisor Terry Alston said, "Our specialty is the
chicken burrito, but a lot of people order nachos."
Prices range from $1.80 to $5 for the burrito dinners.
