A cheese pizza is a blank canvas, just waiting to be decorated with pepperoni to symbolize life, onions to symbolize sorrow, and pineapple to symbolize fruit. Eat something meaningful with today's Groupon: for $10, you get $20 worth of pizzas, calzones, and drinks at Bocca Lupo Coal Fired Pizza in Port Charlotte.

The snarling mouth of a coal-fired oven dubbed “The Wolf” chars the crusts of Bocca Lupo’s pizzas and calzones to a crunchy golden-brown. The pizzeria’s no-frills menu boasts eight specialty pizzas, including a spinach and ricotta combination ($14 for a 14"; $17 for an 18") and a meatball pie loaded with fresh mozzarella ($14 for a 14"; $18 for an 18"). Patrons can watch chefs hand stretch pizza dough across a custom-made marble slab before topping it with ricotta, mozzarella, and romano cheeses ($12) along with extras such as anchovies or sun-dried tomatoes ($1.50 each). While the main course bakes on glowing coals, platefuls of garlic fries ($4.50) temper belly growls and keep freeloading vampires at bay. For dessert, diners can sit in the glow of the coal fire and recount ghost stories around a s’mores pizza crowned with marshmallows, chocolate, and a crumbly garland of graham crackers ($7).
