Round Table
There are several places to eat on campus and students should take the time to visit the Round Table Pizza restaurant located in the University Union across from the University Center Restaurant.
The restaurant is open from 10 a.m.-11 p.m. Monday-Thursday, 10 a.m.-8 p.m. on Fridays, 11 a.m.-7 p.m. on Saturdays and 11 a.m. – 9 p.m. on Sundays.
The restaurant is decorated like a sports bar and has several big screen televisions that were set to sports games, while the walls were covered with Sacramento State sports memorabilia. It’s a fun atmosphere and it allows students the opportunity to talk to people at their table and even mingle with people from other tables as well.
Diners can choose from a variety of pizzas including several specialty pizzas such as the Italian Garlic Supreme, King Arthur’s Supreme and Gourmet Veggie. All pizzas are available with original thin or pan crust. Customers also have a choice to create their own pizza by mixing vegetables, crust, meats and sauces to create their very own specialty pizza.
The pizzas are available in 5 sizes: personal, which includes 4 slices, small, which includes 6 slices, medium, which includes 8 slices, large, which includes 12 slices and extra large, which contains 16 slices.
Another option that diners have is the gourmet sandwiches, which include the Turkey Club, Chicken Club and RT Pizza.
To complete the meal, customers can choose from a variety of sides including Garlic Parmesan Twists, Buffalo wings, Garden Salads and Caesar Salad. Beverage selections include the usual soda, water and beer. Sacramento State is one of the few schools that offer students the option of having an alcoholic beverage in an on-campus restaurant.
As soon as Hilary, Hilary’s friend, Nora, and I went to order our food, which included a medium Smokehouse pizza, 3 Garlic Parmesan Twists and 3 sodas.
Luckily, the cashier was more than willing to help us split the bill 3 ways and we were each able to walk away with a meal for just under $10. Another thing that I appreciated was the fact that the cashier asked to see identification when she discovered that I was paying with a credit card.
Once we had placed our order, we were handed a number and walked back to our table where we met up with JJ from our column writing class.
After 10-15 minutes of conversation about apartment life our food arrived at the table, which was considerably faster than most experiences that I have had at Round Table restaurants.
We settled in to eat and started learning about each other’s family pets, beats and other miscellaneous topics. It was a good time with good conversation. The food was hot, tasty and hit the spot.
Although it was not the best pizza I have ever had, it was pretty good and I would recommend it to other people on campus who are looking for a reasonably priced meal, excellent service and just a great place to catch up on sports games and spend time with friends.

It's hard to get excited about eating a chain restaurant, though the writer seems to have mustered up enough enthusiasm to make it through.
ReplyDeleteLots of detailed information and a good chronicle of the event with other diners.
The writer needs to be careful when making statements like these, however:
'Sacramento State is one of the few schools that offer students the option of having an alcoholic beverage in an on-campus restaurant.'
State schools, UC campuses? Junior Colleges?
Some research on that topic would have made that line more credible.
BTW, a mention of the campus policy about wearing a wristband to have an alcoholic beverage would be good.
