We ate at a Chicago Syle pizza place, it was great, but I don't remember the name.
Giordano's, maybe?

We have always found much better and cheaper food off-site. What kind of food are you looking for. They have every chain known to man and some really good local places. We also eat at places we can't find at home.
Lot's of choices: Sweet Tomatoes, Fuddrucker's, TGI Fridays, Chevy's, Buffalo Wild Wings (all at Crossroads Plaza + fast food - McDonalds, Taco Bell), Landry's, restaurants at Universal CityWalk (free admission, reduced parking after 6:00(?): Margaritaville, Bubba Gump's, Hard Rock Cafe and others). The list goes on and on...you can find almost anything.
^^This^^ .
What about Hash House A Go Go, Millers Ale House or Bubbalou's Bodacious Barbecue?
Or a dinner show? The Outta Control Dinner Show is fabulous entertainment.
We have also love Carrabba's, but I know that's a chain (so it may be something you have at home).
On the parking at Universal, it has a sliding scale, normally around 8 to 10 dollars during peak times, it's been 15.00 but earlier in the day it was 30.00 to park so I guess that's a discount.
That seems awfully high so I just checked the website. $17.00 for regular, $25.00 for preferred, so they must be talking about valet after 6:00 p.m.Universal is charging $30 to park now? Wow! Last I went it was $5 after 6:00, but that was a couple years ago...and a couple years before that it was free after 6.

I feel you.... my DH LOVES to have a rental car and drive around town looking for deals on food.... and grocery shopping! UGH! That's why we usually travel minus a car at WDW lately...that is just not a vacation for me! In the past we have gotten better food deals offsite of course, but we tried places that we don't have at home like Steak and Shake, Golden Corral, Giordanos,Olive Garden,etc. I prefer to budget my $$ carefully and stay onsite for the relaxing factor lol... On our last trip we rented a car for the day to hit Universal,and he of course had to stop offsite for dinner after....We're staying on property for 5 nights. When we were there this past May he kept saying more then likely would could have got better food off property. The only place out of our 10 day stay he liked was lunch at Be Our Guess.
Just the idea of having to get in the car and drive around finding a place to eat is nuts, when I can jump on a bus and go anywhere on property.
