If there's one thing Albertans believe in, it's supporting entrepreneurship. With COVID-19 closing so many businesses, it's more important than ever to support those still going. Fortunately, with so many delivery and takeout options out there, folks in Alberta can stay safe, eat well, AND support our community at the same time. Whether you are living in student housing by NAIT or SAIT, studying hard at the U of L's Dhillon school of business to start your own, cramming by candlelight for midterms at University of Calgary or University of Alberta? Just take a night off to chill inside while the weather is freezing out, order a movie and a meal to your Mainstreet apartment!

LETHBRIDGE
Two Guys and a Pizza Place
If you're in the mood for some award-winning pizza, there's really only one choice in Lethbridge. Two Guys and a Pizza Place (aka Two Guys' Pizza) have been serving up some of Lethbridge's best pies for nearly twenty years; and the secret sauce must be working because they've drawn national attention, including being featured on the Food Network's You Gotta Eat Here as one of Canada's best pizza parlours.
The Mango Tree
Some of Lethbridge's finest cuisine can be found in this elegant and unassuming East Indian bistro located in the London Road area of town. Generous portions ensure every patron leaves without any room to spare, and the food is such a delicate combination of delicious flavour and perfect textures that you won't be able to put your fork down until that plate is clean. Cuddle up with some comfort food and escape the mundane reality of the pandemic with some exceptional delivery.
