Have you ever been really hungry? Well, we have some great news for you! Here in Berkeley, we like to eat. But cooking may sometimes seem like the hardest thing you’ve ever done, and spending meal points at the dining commons gets old. Fortunately, there are a couple of great services and places for quick eats — you can get some of Berkeley’s most delicious foods into your stomach in just a few minutes!

SpoonRocket

If you’re in a hurry and need quick food within minutes (yes, SpoonRocket often comes within about five minutes), SpoonRocket is the place to go. And by go, we mean go to the website, click a few buttons and have your healthy, organic meal outside your door faster than you can say “SpoonRocket.” If you make the word last for five minutes … IT’S FAST, OKAY?

GhettoDelivery

BoB: House of Curries, Gypsys

Did you know Asian Ghetto delivers? “WHAT?” you may be saying out loud right now. “How? When? How did I not know about this?” you might be thinking. Well, believe it, because it’s true! You can get your Gypsy’s, your Mandarin House and your Pancho’s delivered right to your door! We know how you feel.

Artichoke Basille’s

This famous New York pizzeria has arrived just around the corner from you! Artichoke Basille’s, located on the corner of Durant Avenue and Bowditch Street, serves quick, scrumptious pizza that you can start eating within five minutes of walking through their door (depending on the wait, of course). The pizzeria has just opened, though, so make sure to stop by and try the signature artichoke pizza before these quick eats become … slow eats.
