Duffy's Dinkytown Pizza (1308 5th St. SE., Mpls., 612-623-3833, www.duffysdinkytownpizza. com) knows how to stretch a student budget. Its grown-up version of the Happy Meal is a hefty slice of cheese pizza, a dinner salad and a 22-ounce soda for $4.99, served all day (add extra pizza toppings -- smoked Gouda, artichoke hearts, pine nuts -- at 50 cents a pop). Late-night penny pinchers can feast on a slice of cheese pizza for $1 (regularly $2.99) on Thursdays from 10 p.m. to 2:30 a.m., and $2 on Fridays and Saturdays (same hours).
