Welcome to Groupon, Fort Wayne! For our inaugural deal, you get $10 worth of pizza, sandwiches, salads, and drinks for $5 at Downtown Pizza & Ice Cream located at 534 W. Berry Street. Since this is everyone's first Groupon, allow us to briefly explain how it works.

How Groupon Works

Groupon is a combination of the words group and coupon. Each day, we offer an unbeatable deal on the best of Fort Wayne: restaurants, spas, sporting events, theater, and more. By promising businesses a minimum number of customers, we get discounts you won't find anywhere else. We call it "collective buying power."

If you want to get the deal, just click BUY before the offer ends at midnight. If the minimum number of people (20 for today's deal) sign up by the end of the day, you'll be emailed a gift certificate the next morning. You can print your Groupons, or redeem them with our iPhone app. Use them whenever you want until the deal expires—today's expires in six months. If not enough people join, no one gets the deal (and you won't be charged), so invite your friends to make sure you get the discount!

Today's Deal

The most common Internet password is “pizza123,” demonstrating America’s love for this Italian delight, as well as its complete inability to protect sensitive information. Hack a circle into triangles with today's deal: for $5, you get $10 worth of pizza, sandwiches, salads, and drinks at Downtown Pizza & Ice Cream at 534 W. Berry Street.

Downtown Pizza treats the five senses to a night on the town; appetizing aromatics waft from the kitchen, downtown sights light up the summer patio, taste buds dance through impressive pizza toppings, live music tickles ears, and melted cheese is fun to touch. Creatively adorn fresh dough with your favorite topping combinations ($8.99 for a medium, $1.29 per topping). Or grab a slice of a preconceived masterpiece such as sweet and tangy barbecue chicken, meaty bacon cheeseburger, or thin-crusted margharita ($10.99 for a medium of each). If you're tired of cheesy circles and triangles, wrap mouth muscles around a square sandwich or build-your-own cylindrical monster roll. Downtown Pizza's summer specials include curried couscous salad and Hawaiian chicken salad. Skip dinner altogether and indulge in Downtown Pizza's hand-dipped ice cream in a handmade waffle cone or waffle bowl ($3.99 for a medium, $0.50 for waffle cone or bowl). Invite your close-by chums to join you for a feast on a hot summer night, or take advantage of the free WiFi to share a slice with a far-flung friend over video chat.
