Miss Saigon
96 N Pleasant StOur favorite Asian spot. A bargain that never disappoints. BYOB too!
Hands down best pizza and an Amherst institution.
Take away to outside tables, or the Amherst common. The by-th-slice selection is the best I've ever seen. Unique topping combos- Chicken, bacon ranch, Pesto with tortellini, taco pizza etc
