Carmine's is one of the best delivery options for downtown dwellers, especially if you're prepping for a marathon. Carb it up with the Pasta White Pizza with alfredo sauce, spaghetti, chicken and Italian sausage. The noodles add an interesting texture to the pie, which is as much of a gut bomb as you might expect.

GAPC is a go-to for the post-drinking crowd, and "The Mes-Kin" probably sounds better once you've had a beer or two. It's topped off with ground beef, cheddar, poblanos, jalapenos, red onion, tomato and cilantro.

Yes, it's a chain, but the MM is worth a visit for tasty, unusual pizzas and the psychedelic-stoner vibe, plus the great selection of beers. The Red Skin Potato Pie is like the lovechild of a baked potato and a pizza, topped with potatoes, bacon, caramelized onions, cheddar, chives, sour cream and spicy ranch. (There's also a shrimp and andouille pie, and one with curry chicken and Thai chili sauce.)

If you're in the mood for cheap beer and pizza at an absurdly late hour, Pizza Lounge in Exposition Park is the place to be. The Regrubmah (that's hamburger backwards) tops a pie with all the usual burger ingredients: a slightly sweet, ketchup-y sauce, ground beef, red onion, tomatoes, cheese and dill pickles. There's also the pL Hawaiian which adds macadamia nuts and Kona coffee grounds to the usual pineapple and ham combo.
