Teenagers idolize pizza due to its portable nature and refusal to stay in a box, man. Eat your way to independence with today's Groupon: for $8, you get $17 worth of pizza and drinks at Ah Beetz New York Pizza.

Ah Beetz New York Pizza's cooks stretch naturally leavened sourdough across wooden pizza peels and adorn it with house sauce and locally sourced toppings before a sojourn in a 700-degree oven. The menu's most popular pizzas range from the salsiccia's assemblage of house-made italian sausage, red onions, aged mozzarella, and bocconcini ($17 for a large, $25 for an extra-large) to the vegetariano's artichoke hearts, red onion, black olives, and mushrooms ($17 for a large, $26 for an extra-large). More disc variations include the diavola, which layers double pepperoni ($17 for a large, $25 for an extra-large); the spagnuolo, which combines chorizo and artichoke hearts ($17 for a large, $26 for an extra-large); and the funghi, which enlivens double mushrooms with black-truffle oil ($16 for a large, $24 for an extra-large). Patrons can also build their own pizza, which, like a studio apartment, offers the freedom to arrange toppings however they'd like within 14 or 18 inches of personal space ($15+).

Though Ah Beetz New York Pizza sometimes features a discounted price online, this Groupon still offers the best deal available.
