NIH Dining, Building 10

I’m so busy that I’m writing this review while I eat my amazing cheeseless pizza. I am all by myself so I look at my iPhone to keep myself occupied and so that I am not considered a loser.
Plus I need to look at my phone every few minutes to check my email.
I got the pizza with tomatoes, tomato sauce, onions, and spinach. It costs less than $ 4.77. It is very tasty. You can add garlic, Italian seasoning, and red pepper flakes to your pizza.
Okay now I am walking back to the conference center. Don’t you appreciate this real-​time, [I have no] life update?

This might not be the greatest place on earth to have lunch or the cheapest, but it’s certainly the best in NIH. Little known fact, they also offer breakfast for those of us that start out the early. You can get a very decent omelette there before 9:00am for a very reasonable price.
I’ve been eating here for over 4 years and I am yet to have any serious complaints about it. Don’t listen to the folks who eat there once or twice and form an opinion about possibility of food poisoning.
There’s a generic Chipotle like place there on the left, ex-​Sbarro pizza place, sushi stand, and sandwich joint. The latter I find strongly overpriced and thus is not my favorite. The rest are of good to very-​good quality. There are two salad bars and soup island. All kinds of drinks and light desserts are present. On occasion, they have chefs preparing signature dishes.
One thing I don’t like are very long lines to cashiers and a fact that they don’t accept AmEx cards.

Dining in Building 10 is very similar to dining in an airport, but worse. The prices are exorbitant (where are people going to go, to Navy Med?) and the food is consistently of low quality. I sometimes feel nauseated while parsing through the various food options here. There is pizza, burgers, soup and salad bar, some sort of meat with vegetables and rice, and sushi. I would steer clear of the sushi. Although I have friends that have eaten the sushi here and have not fallen ill, I believe it is flirting with disaster and view it as an unacceptable risk.
By far, the highlight of dining here are the cashiers. I personally am a huge fan of the mustached guy and the woman at the two left-​most registers.
The food here is bad enough to inspire a lazy intern to pack his own lunch.
