2025 Morehead City Delivery Guide

Dank Burrito started as a Food Truck and a side project for Clarke Merrell – the Executive Chef and Owner of Morehead City’s acclaimed Circa 81 Tapas & Cocktaileria. But with a new location and a devout following, as well as accolades from both regional and national outlets, Dank Burrito now has a permanent home in a nice central locale along Arendell Street.

With two locations in the heart of the Crystal Coast, and a familiar menu that is packed with pizza, appetizers, pasta, and more, Domino’s Pizza is a reliable choice for an easy-going meal that the entire family can sink their teeth into. Offering take-out or delivery service for a good chunk of the Crystal Coast shoreline, this popular chain restaurant is a solid option for family meals that don’t require much effort, and don’t break the bank.

Tucked away along busy Arendell Street in central Morehead City, Ioanni's Grill is a fine destination for visitors and locals who are in the mood for something a little different. Specializing in pizza, pasta, Italian fare, and Greek specialties, virtually any patron will find something to crave in the extensive three-page menu.

From scratch-made breakfast to unique spins on tacos, salads, and wraps, food fans of all tastes will find something to love at this unique eatery that has everything from coffee to cocktails. Mug Shot is a one-of-a-kind destination in the Crystal Coast region that has a wide array of drinks and cuisine that is sure to appease any appetite and is able to cater to any occasion.

Don’t let the name – or rather, the lack of a name – fool you. No Name Pizza and Subs is a popular eatery that has been a local and longtime vacationer recommendation since it first opened in 1982. Subtly located in a small shopping plaza along Highway 70, No Name serves up a large selection of appetizers, salads, sandwiches, subs, burgers, and of course pizzas, as well as some more unusual fare. In addition to Italian classics, like stuffed shells, veal parmesan and lasagna, No Name also has Greek specialties and platters, like gyros and Souvlaki, as well as gooey Quesadillas, that are stuffed with chicken, shrimp or steak.

The secret to Papa John's is much like the secret to making a better pizza - the more you put into it, the more you get out of it. Our pizza family is as hungry for perfection today as we were when we first opened our doors more than 30 years ago. And we're driven to be the best at making innovative new products and recipes.

Embrace a healthy lifestyle without skimping on flavor at this unique Morehead City destination that delivers fresh and ready-to-prepare meals right to your doorstep. With an always rotating and seasonal menu that can cater to all tastes, (including and especially healthy eaters and vegetarians), Refection Foods is an easy way to enjoy nutritious and delicious meals with minimal hassle throughout the week.

After exploring Morehead City’s many shops and attractions, take a budget-friendly break and enjoy a hassle-free lunch or dinner at this casual eatery that has a hearty sample of filling appetizers, salads, subs, and entrees to go around. Riverside Grill and Subs offers delivery, take-out, and dine-in options for hungry patrons, which makes it a convenient spot for a big and filling meal at home or on the go.

Head slightly inland from the popular Morehead City waterfront and you’ll discover this Italian gem which offers curbside take-out, delivery, or on-site dining in a quiet and relaxed atmosphere. Taste of Napoli Restaurant and Bar is a fine destination for local residents and visitors alike to indulge in an Italian feast that is brimming with fresh flavors with every course.

Morehead City visitors who are in the mood for something a little different during a Crystal Coast getaway won’t have to venture to far to find exceptional Thai cuisine, thanks to the downtown region’s own local eatery, Thai Sticky Rice. Brimming with lots of flavor and lots of options, this Thai restaurant has all the staples that global foodies love, as well as some unique specialties which makes every meal a new exploration.
