A pizza pie, when not immediately consumed on sight, makes a handy Frisbee, an abstract wall-clock, or a lure for such elusive creatures as anchovies and sauce-fish. Take advantage of this most malleable meal with today’s Groupon: for $10, you get $20 worth of pizza, pasta, subs, and more at Milano Pizzeria. Your Groupon is good for takeout or delivery at the Barrhaven, Merivale, and Carleton University locations of the pizzeria.

The good people at Milano Pizzeria have been serving up their boot-country fare for more than 40 years, and their pizza pies are offered in both thick- and thin-crust varieties. Choose a predesigned disc such as the pizza burger pie, loaded with ground beef, green peppers, onions, and mushrooms ($9.85+), or the gourmet pollo pizza, with spicy chicken, hot peppers, and a garlic-pesto sauce ($11.95+). Control freaks and finicky eaters can choose to assemble their own pie from more than 15 available toppings while the pizzaphobic peruse Milano’s extensive menu of non-pie fare. Hot and cold subs ($4.95+), Donair kebabs ($6+), pasta ($7+), shawarma ($5.95+), and burger platters ($7.95+) are served alongside rich appetizer offerings and the unconditional approval of even the most distant dads.

Stepping into a pizzeria, with its warm, cheesy dough smells and friendly pizza sculptors, evokes past years abroad and predicts future strings of expatriatism. Treat yourself to a taste of Italy, or gift this Groupon to a pizza-deficient friend to boost their weekly levels of lycopene and melted cheese. Call ahead to place your order.
