You need something quick, something good, something close. My brain automatically goes to pizza. We just had it. I went through a list of restaurants in my head. Did you know your favorite restaurants also do take out?
We decided on Phnom Penh for us and our guests and everyone loved it of course.
This list excludes Chinese and pizza places, which are highlighted in other posts.
The next time you’re short on time, don’t want to cook, or having friends over, check out the plethora of choices the Upper Valley has to offer for take out.
Enjoy!
