Whether you are coming home from a night out at one of UCF’s local bars or powering through an all-night study session, the hankering for an after midnight meal can hit you at any moment.
Sure, you can go to the 24 hour drive-thru and grab a cheap taco or burger for only a buck or two, but sometimes that won’t suffice. Luckily, there are many delicious restaurants in the UCF area that serve up good eats after midnight. Even better, many of them deliver so you don’t even have to leave your room. Here are some of UCF’s finest establishments to satisfy your craving for a late night meal.
Lazy Moon Pizza
If you are a UCF student, there is a very good chance you already know about the mouth-watering giant pizza slices served up at Lazy Moon. Open until 2:30 AM on Friday and Saturday, Lazy Moon offers pizza slices so big that one slice is a meal itself. With a variety of toppings to choose from and a list of specialty slices, Lazy Moon is the perfect late night establishment. And if you are trying to get your drink on, Lazy Moon offers one of the widest selection of craft beers in the area. Unfortunately, they do not deliver, but that shouldn’t stop you from making the early morning trip to gobble up some pizza.
Recommended Item: Jason’s Mom slice, of course.

Jimmy John’s
Jimmy John’s is a staple in many college towns across America. What sets them apart from other sub places is their signature “freaky fast” delivery, and they definitely live up to the name. JJ’s offers a variety of cold subs with funky names such as the Turkey Tom and the Totally Tuna. They also offer every sandwich in a lettuce wrap if you are counting calories. Even better, there are two Jimmy John’s locations in the UCF area (one on campus and one on University Blvd.) to get you your sandwich faster. The University Blvd. location is open until 3 AM and the on-campus location closes at midnight. If you are really hungry, try the J.J. Gargantuan, which includes every cold cut they serve into one sandwich.
