Anyone who’s tried nailing an oven-fresh pizza pie to a wall knows that pizza looks best briefly propped on a five-finger pedestal. Today’s Groupon puts $20 worth of dine-in, carry-out, or delivery pizza, guzzle, and Italian eats in your paws for $10 at Papa Pilo's Pizza. Papa Pilo's hand-tossed pies are favorites for their crispy crust and generous dollop of tongue-tantalizing tomato sauce. Vouchers will be given for any leftover balance.
All pizzas are available in four sizes (from $8.75–$18.75) and can also be procured in calzone form. Meat lovers masticate Pilo's Deluxe, a traditional pie sprinkled with generous cuts of pepperoni, sausage, mushrooms, olives, bell peppers, and onions. Or go garden fresh with a vegetarian pizza dotted with chewy mushrooms, olives, onions, tomatoes, and bell peppers. If you're thirsting for a more basic pie, plain and build-your-own pizzas are available from $6.15–$16.65 plus additional toppings ($1–$1.75 each). The menu also has Italian salads, cold and hot sub sandwiches, pasta, and dessert.
Papa's satiates budget-conscious pizza enthusiasts with lunch specials weekdays until 4 p.m.. Weave friendship bracelets out of a half-order of spaghetti with salad or bread ($6), or slurp creamy fettucine alfredo later in the day (with dinner salad and garlic bread, $9). The cozy, down-to-earth Italian eatery is open daily from Sunday through Thursday from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. and on Friday and Saturday from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. This Groupon spares you the disgrace of carrying a cold, frozen pizza to your domicile; slide a warm, freshly cooked, and perfectly prepared mound of meat and cheese under your door instead.
If you use your Groupon toward delivery, there will be a $1.50 charge.
