The best pizzas, like the worst Elvis impersonators, are cheesy, saucy, and often live in cardboard boxes. Sink your teeth into a doughy classic with today's Groupon: for $8, you get $16 worth of pizzeria fare at Venezia's Pizzeria's Rio Rancho, San Mateo, and Juan Tabo locations.

At Venezia's Pizzeria, pie crafters transform doughy canvases into golden-brown masterpieces en route to a fully stocked menu of New York–style pizzas, calzones, and sub sandwiches. Diners can channel international zest with a slice of the Italian Stallion, which spotlights ground beef, sausage, bacon, and a thick Philadelphia accent ($14+). Barbecue-chicken pizzas ($11+) challenge toothy excavators to tunnel through grilled-chicken strata, and the gluten-free hawaiian pizza's hunks of pineapple and bacon ($11.15) imbue diners with a tropical reprieve sans licking dashboard hula dolls. To satisfy nonannular cravings, patrons can embrace the warm exterior of a philly cheesesteak hero ($6.75) or help a three-cheese calzone ($8) hone its diving skills by dipping the crunchy belly flopper into a side of homemade marinara sauce.
