Anyone who’s tried nailing an oven-fresh pizza pie to a wall knows that pizza looks better when it's briefly propped on a five-finger pedestal. Today’s Groupon puts pizza back where it performs best: for $10, you get a large one-topping pizza and an ice-cold pitcher of Bud Light (up to a $22 value) at Lena's First and Last Pizzaria, synonymous with Sully's Pub, both which serve under the same roof on Park Street. This Groupon is good for dine-in only.

Recognized as best pizza place in town by the Hartford Advocate in 2009, Lena's Pizzaria knows how to toss the dough and sprinkle the shredded melty stuff across a variety of freshly-prepared pies. Your Groupon covers one 18-inch Large with a single, non-premium topping such as pepperoni, meatballs, roasted peppers, or other delicious enhancements (the full list of choices is presented under "items #1" ). The pizza can be upgraded with additional toppings ($1.99 to $2.99 each) or Sicilian style crust ($2.50). Likewise, the pitcher of Bud Light can be enhanced through smooth dance moves inspired by the beats and riffs pumping from Sully's stage. Almost every night, diners can enjoy a variety of featured music acts, open mic nights, poetry slams and other feats of entertainment.

The laid-back super team of Lena's and Sully's has been putting out signature pizzas, thirst quenchers, and an active performance atmosphere for nearly three delicious decades. The tradition of Sicilian-inspired baking and humanitarian-style friendliness has been a constant thread throughout the years. Hang a fang on a slice and wash it back with some suds. It may not change your life, but it will change your appetite and thirst.

• I love Sully's! My band played here for the second time last night and it rocked! Such a cool hometown pub kinda vibe, but they also have a really good sound system so that bands can do their thang. – Rozz N., Yelp
• Lena's has the best lunch choices of any place in Hartford. The stuffed pies are awesome, and the regular slices are always different, and VERY GOOD. – djholl, Citysearch
