As a former Boston University student (I won’t say when), one of my favorite off- campus subjects was dining at T. Anthony’s Pizzeria at 1016 Commonwealth Ave. in Boston, Mass. The cheap prices and excellent thin-crust Italian pizza have withstood the test of time, as this local hangout is just as popular today. Let’s face it, tasty pizza and low prices are timeless!

HiddenBoston.com has written a terrific, spot-on dining review of T. Anthony’s, which we recommend you check out. We know how expensive college has become — you don’t need overpriced dinners to exacerbate the overall financial challenge. Funny, when I was paying $5K a year for tuition (gee, I think I just gave away when I attended B.U.), the idea of saving a few bucks when dining out was prominent. I guess all things are relative, as students currently paying $40K a year for college are thinking the same way!
