The sudden onset of hunger pains is the leading cause of unfinished novels, canceled duels, and tied soccer matches. Today's deal employs delicious Italian cuisine to cut down on unfinished business: for $10 you get $20 worth of pizza, pasta, and more at Bellizzi in Mount Kisco.

Born in southern Italy and raised on authentic boot-shaped cooking traditions, Bellizzi founder Isi Albanese fuses new-world cooking into his family-style eatery. Resist mouth-burning excitement while indecisively perusing Bellizzi's menu of pizza pies (starting at $8), all crafted with care and, upon request, gluten-free ingredients. Bellizzi's extensive inclusion of natural and organic ingredients includes flavorful favorites, like truffle pasta ($16/$22), a sauce-toss of sun-dried tomatoes, wild mushrooms, spinach, and white truffle pesto. Family moments spent scaling hulking spa-vento salads and Bolognese foothills yield more joyous rewards than sweater-vested portraits. Upon finishing your meal, induce speedy digestive processes with a romp through the family game room, where pizza aromas waft between tables, children, and the clink of George Washington's face into game machines.

• Bellizzi is a great place to bring the kids with a very colorful playroom for them. I've only had the pizza and salad here and they are both good. Love the sesame crust on the pizza. – Gio, Urbanspoon
• Their gluten free menu is definitely top-notch. They have been adding new items all the time to their menu as well. The staff is always pleasant and always bends over backward to please the customers. – TJ D., Yelp
