Show Recently Reviewed Nina's Original NY Pizzeria and Juice Bar On the southeast corner of great college pizza joint. Nina's has a $4 h lunch special slice of pizza and a drink) and a small dining room with a TV projector aimed at one wall so you can watch the game. We recommend having a pie made to order rather than ordering by the slice because the pizza didn't look so fresh. We loved our Meat Lover's pizza and the Margherita was also delicious. Nina's also serves some great juice. When we ordered a Tropical Sunrise, we saw the guy juicing oranges and putting fruit in a blender. Whole pizzas and $25 are between $5 ), and Nina's also serves a selection of other dishes for breakfast, lunch and dinner. 858 N. 700 East, Provo, BYU campus is a (14-inc- '... , Y'f' :n 1. ft ft ..ft...: " " V ft - " " CRAIG The Chef Curry at Thai Evergreen in Orem DILGERDaily Herald alongside the Orange Chicken.

The Chicken Tikk a Masala was as good as any we've had, and for only $7. We also liked the Tandoori Chicken and anything with mangos in it. Our server chatted about which dishes would be good the day we visited, and even about which would not, and seemed more interested in us than in our tips, thankfully. Don't go when you're in a hurry, however, because this small operation took its time getting us our food. Swagat offers a complete takeout menu for rushed diners.
