Pizza is the perfect food for any college occasion. It is unmatched among other study snacks. It can be the breakfast, lunch, or even dinner of champions. You drunk? It’s pizza time. It is even a very social event for college students to have some fun while indulging in the food of dreams.

Many students would eat pizza every day if it didn’t drain their wallets. Thankfully, some pizza joints in Fort Collins understand that, and provide certain deals to their customers. I am here to expose the top six deals in Fort Collins, and satisfy the wallets, munchies, and social needs of every fellow pizza fan on a college budget in the process.

#6: Beau Jo’s: Monday Nights

While this is not the cheapest pizza, I had to include Beau Jo’s for not only the quality of pizza (legendary status) but also because of its social deals during the early week. Beau Jo’s hosts trivia on Monday nights between 7–9, and offers $3 fireball shots and $1 off domestic brews for the occasion while you enjoy your delicious pizza. I would save this one for a night that you are willing to drop a little extra cash, but reap a very good experience and taste for your sacrifice.

Beau Jo’s is located at 205 N College Ave.

#5: Panhandlers Pizza: Thursdays

Panhandlers pizza is very filling, and very tasty pizza. It is deep dish, so it will be more filling than a regular pizza from just any other joint. On Thursdays, Panhandlers offers two medium one-topping pizzas for $21. While this may not seem like a crazy good deal right off the bat, keep in mind that two medium deep dish pizzas from panhandlers can feed 3–4 hungry college men (aka 3–4 black holes). So you would get a lot of bang for your buck pursuing this deal.

Panhandlers is located at 1220 W Elizabeth Street.

#4: Domino’s: Every Day

While it is definitely chain style pizza, and not an authentic choice, Domino’s has a pretty good deal that is available every day of the week. During any regular business hours, you can purchase any of the following for $6 each (as long as you buy two or more): Medium two-topping pizza, any salad, any pasta, eight piece wings, marbled cookie brownie, or oven baked sandwiches. An exceptional choice for any day of the week. You can easily feed multiple people for very cheap with that comforting chain restaurant taste.

Domino’s is located at 2110 W Elizabeth Street.

#3 Cosmos Pizza: Certain Times on “Hooked” App

Cosmos is a favorite of many college students in Fort Collins. It is fantastic New York style pizza that is open very late on the weekends and has a legendary spicy ranch. However, you can easily spend $7 on two slices there at any given time. On the “Hooked” app, there are certain times that Cosmos will post deals that you can redeem for simply having the app. They constantly post an offer for a large one topping pizza for $10. By waiting for that deal, you can get four times the pizza for nearly the same price. Don’t be an idiot. Wait for the offer.

Cosmos is located at 1401 W Elizabeth Street.

#2: Pizza Casbah Monday & Tuesday

Pizza Casbah is another great authentic choice for Fort Collins Residents. On Monday and Tuesday, they have one of the best deals in the city. On these two days, you can purchase an unlimited amount of cheese slices for $1 each. I can find $1 on the floor of my car. It’s an incredible deal for authentic pizza lovers on a college budget who just suffered through some early week troubles.

Pizza Casbah is located at 126 W Laurel Street.

#1 Krazy Karls Monday and Thursday 5–8

Krazy Karls makes it to the top of this list for a few reasons. KK is currently dominating the Fort Collins college pizza market in every aspect. Not only do they have the social aspect of discounted beer and arcade games in store, but they also have insanely awesome pizza at insanely awesome prices. On Mondays and Fridays between 5–8pm, the store holds their “beat the clock” special. During this window, your large one-topping pizza costs the same as what the clock reads. So if you call at 5:01, your pizza is $5.01. That’s like $8 off. Pair that with zesty pizza and you land yourself at the top of my list.

Krazy Karls is located at 1124 W Elizabeth Street.

I hope this list provides some insight on how to get the best out of good pizza, social pizza, and college budget pizza. All of the above are excellent choices, but they each offer their own particular benefits depending on what you seek. Don’t believe me? Check the links below the pictures and see it with your own sour eyes. Then try not to be a skeptical ass on my next article. For those of you who believe that I did my research, I appreciate you. Enjoy your pizza.
