Sodexo-affiliated cafeterias are great for students who want easily-accessible food that comes with their meal plan. On-campus restaurants are convenient for those who want to spend their meal plan cash. But what about the students who have money on their Flex account from their parents and want to spend it somewhere off campus? Here are the 19 restaurants off campus that accept Flex cash (and sometimes with a discount).

Home of the Colorado Style Mountain Pie, this restaurant fulfills that occasional pizza craving with flying colors. From pizza layered with meat to gluten-free and vegetarian options, there is something for anyone’s liking.
