We know cravings are key when it comes to a midday meal, so we’ve broken up these spots into their respective food groups. Think sandwiches and pizza.

Sandwiches

West Tampa Sandwich Shop and Restaurant , 3904 N. Armenia Ave., Tampa
Indulge in a symphony of flavors with a soup and a small Cuban sandwich. The delightful duo will transport your taste buds to the sun-kissed shores of Havana — all for just $7.90. If you need a refresher, a Tampa Cuban is usually made with ham, tender pork, zesty salami, melted Swiss cheese, and the tantalizing dance of mayo, mustard, and pickles.

Bayside Sandwich Shop , 550 N. Reo St., Tampa
Treat yourself to the ultimate lunchtime delight by ordering the Deli Lunch Combo — a half deli sandwich paired with an 8-ounce soup or a house salad, complemented by a crispy bag of chips, all for $5.99. Pro tip: we wholeheartedly recommend sinking your teeth into the Super Grilled Cheese.

Lonni’s , 429 Central Ave., St. Petersburg
Indulge in a half sandwich and soup combo, priced at a mere $9.69. Get the chipotle chicken press + if you’re feeling extra saucy, double down.

Pizza

Angelo’s , 536 1st Ave. N., St. Petersburg
This might be St. Pete’s most unbeatable offer. Get two slices of plain ‘za and a soda pop for $5.

The NONA Slice House , 997 Main St., Safety Harbor
For $10 flat you can savor any two slices alongside a refreshing domestic draft brew or a soda, all for a total of just $9.

Santoro’s , 1329 W. Cass St., Tampa
Indulge in one plain slice and one specialty slice, and a refreshing fountain drink, all for a wallet-friendly price of just $6.50.

We’re crazy pho these large steaming bowls of beef pho. We recommend the Phở Gà (chicken noodle soup) for $7.75.

Lan Zhou Lamen Noodle House , 2716 E. Fowler Ave., Tampa
Immerse yourself in the flavors of Lanzhou, China, with the noodle house’s beef noodles priced at $10, or opt for the original or chicken variations at $9 and $10, respectively.

Burgers

Thee Burger Spot , 3917 N. Tampa St., Tampa
The entire menu here is under 10 smackeroos. We recommend the double bacon cheeseburger or The Glazed One, a bacon burger with glazed donuts instead of buns. It’s worth noting this place has won Best in the Bay for three consecutive years.

Dead Bob’s Bar and Restaurant , 6716 Central Ave., St. Petersburg
Meet your maker with the Big Bob – it’s 10 ounces of juicy Angus beef stacked double high. Plus, it comes with fries for $9.27.

Daly’s Flame Broiled Burgers , 10754 70th Ave., Seminole
Double the delight of any burger on the menu for two extra bucks. But don’t worry; the total will still probably come out to less than $10. We recommend the Daly’s Double Burger for $6.75.
