decent food delivery options in medford

[enochs-fable.livejournal.com]

My apartment seems to exist in a black-hole of delivery services. I ordered from Papa John's in Malden, and despite the fact that
I clearly said MEDFORD several times while ordering, they
called back asking where I was ordering from. Then they told me "oh, we'll deliver your pizza, but we don't normally deliver out that way."

Then why not say that in the first place?

Other places we've ordered from have delivered our food to a street of the same name in Somerville, or have taken unacceptably long (50 minutes) to deliver. Argh! It's not like we're in the boonies here, people.

So if anybody knows of any decent places to order (decent pizza? anything besides chinese? chinese that won't make us ill? bueller?) from that serve the Winthrop Ave Medford Area, inquiring minds want to know!

I used to live in one of those! (This was before college, and not in this state.)

There were 3 suburbs: the one that most of our zip code was in, the one we actually lived in, and the one that had many of the businesses most convenient to us. And that's not to mention that the name of our street was rather similar to the name of a (nearby, luckily) old folks' home.

There was a Papa John's near us (a really quick drive), but it wouldn't deliver to us. I don't remember whether the same-zip-code-city one would. Hm. When they introduced internet ordering, though, suddenly it was all fine. The magic computer gave our order to a store, so it must be ok! Of course, by then I was only ever there to visit, but as I recall my mom took advantage of it sometimes.
