Just a word of warning when it comes to Costco. The whole ready-to-bake Costco pizza's that they sell in the refer case are NOT the same as the ones they sell by the slice, it's a different crust which is not near as good.
Also the frozen yogurt they sell has got to be the best I've ever eaten. It's a mix that is designed only for Costco and I believe it's from Sweden.

The trick is to bake 'em on a rack so the crust dries out some. At least so I've found. Most people bake 'em on a sheet which keeps in too much moisture.

I had a slice of pizza at Costco once and ended up tossing it in the trash. The absolute worse pizza I have ever tasted.

I'll second that bratwurst at Cosco Plenty of onions and kraut!

But don't forget that you can get a whole hot pizza at Costco at the food court for $9.99 that is the same as the pizza buy the slice. As long as you live close enough to get it home while it is still hot, why would do anything else??

When I lived in Missoula, I liked the Greek place across from the Orange Street Market (I don't remember the name) for something tasty and cheap.

Not so cheap but so very good is The Pearl Cafe down on Higgins. You can do dinner for two and a drink for $50. And where is a really really good southwest Mexican food?????? With real shredded beef etc.

Is Zimorino's still downtown? I liked that place back when I was in school.

I never went when it was called Zimorino's, but that place is still there. Now it's called Higgins Alley.

AND they have pizza and a pitcher night on either tuesdays or wednesdays. You get a large pizza and a pitcher of beer for fifteen bucks. And it's really good pizza.

Zimorino's went to Arlee and after a couple of years either closed or went somewhere else.
