Italian cuisine was born when, after building the city of Rome, Romulus and Remus discovered Greece didn't deliver to their new address. Taste the origins of an empire with today's Groupon: for $10, you get $20 worth of Italian fare at Luigi's Pizza Italian Restaurant in Denton.

Luigi's Pizza Italian Restaurant's three founding brothers came from Italy to forge a menu of homemade pastas, pizzas, and Old World entrees. Noodle-laden classics such as lasagna ($6.95) and fettuccine alfredo ($7.95) mingle with freshly washed bibs and dinner specialties that include chicken marsala over spaghetti ($8.95) or shrimp scampi caught in a net of linguini ($11.95). The simple Neapolitan-style cheese pizza ($8.95 for large) struggles with topping envy as it admires the fully loaded, four-sided deep dish Sicilian Special pizza with its black olives, green peppers, and meaty morsels bursting forth from under a blanket of melted cheese ($16.95).
