Anyone who’s tried nailing an oven-fresh pizza pie to a wall knows that pizza looks better briefly propped on a five-finger pedestal. Today’s Groupon puts the pie back where it performs best. For $4, you get $12 worth of pizza pies and boozy beverages at Goodnights Pizza and Patio. For each Groupon you use, you must purchase a food item.

The NoDo restaurant and bar's food menu consists entirely of pizza, and more than 20 gourmet specialties are made from fresh, never-frozen ingredients, and served up either by the slice ($4–$5) or by the "round" ($15–$21). The vegetarian margherita ($4 a slice, $15 for a 14", $19 for 18") stands alongside concoctions such as the truffle-oiled apple walnut ($4, $15, $19); the Bayou blast ($4.49, $16, $20), which pairs shrimp and andouille sausage with red onions; and the twice-baked pizza ($4, $15, $19), with sliced spuds, cheddar cheese, and crumbled bacon. All of Goodnights' pies are available either on regular crust or a custom canvas baked with basil, parmesan, and romano cheese.

The bar at Goodnights, which boasts the longest linear footage of any bar in Omaha, houses eight beers on tap and full menu of "bombs." When life forgets to give you a lemon, compensate for the loss of the vitamin C with a couple of caramel-apple bombs (Buttershots, Apple Pucker, and Red Bull, $4.75) or a fruity-pebble shot (Blue Curacao, grenadine, and half & half, $4.75). Or honor our noble forefathers with two drinks in one, as you drop a shot of Goldschläger into a pint of seasonal Sam Adams ($4.75).

Now that winter has blown away like a pile of dandelion seeds down an elevator shaft, make a warm night good on Goodnights' outdoor patio. Grab a few friends and relive the fun of singing along to the soundtrack of Die Hard: With a Vengeance.
