  • Eugene got its Handel’s ice cream shop in 2020, but the business has been serving up delicious cold scoops from Youngstown, Ohio, since 1945. Their ice cream has stood the test of time since they make each recipe daily on site, one batch at a time, using only the best ingredients. Try all the classic ice cream flavors along with unusual ones like Red Skies At Night (black raspberry with chocolate truffle), pineapple upside down cake, or cake batter. Buy cones or dishes, pints or quarts, sundaes, hurricanes, shakes, or pops.
  • Located just east of campus, Hey, Neighbor! Pizza House specializes in serving students and families throughout Eugene and beyond. Focusing on brick oven pizzas, Hey, Neighbor! has become a campus favorite for their creative hand-crafted “Neo-Neapolitan Pies.” Pizzas like their Figonzola (a combination of a mozzarella blend and balsamic glaze topped with black mission figs) and their Bianco with fresh arugula, are only a couple of the many reasons Hey, Neighbor! is a mainstay in the campus community.
