7 Local Restaurants For A $10(ish) Lunch
BY THE RVAX TEAM
Who doesn’t love an afternoon pick-me-up away from the office or a cheap meal with some friends on the weekend? It can be hard to find a restaurant that offers lunch for around $10 these days, but us to the rescue: We’ve rounded up a list of seven spots to grab a bite when you’re in need of an inexpensive meal to fuel the second half of your day.
Bottoms Up Pizza
Bottoms Up is a Richmond staple, and it’s obvious why. They’ve been slinging pies since the ‘90s, and their recipes have stayed pretty consistent. If you’ve been to this pizza place, you know just how large their slices are. Snag one for under $10 when you’re craving that crunchy and airy pizza style with plenty of toppings.
