Pizza, like the sun, is hot, bubbly, and plays a critical role in sustaining life on earth. Revel in pizza's gravitational pull with today’s Groupon: for $10, you get $20 worth of Italian fare and more at Home Style Pizza in Schenectady.

Home Style Pizza's Sicilian-style dinners and piping-hot pizzas have been making a home in local mouths for the past 35 years. The shop’s extensive menu is anchored by its circular selection, including the homestyle specialty pizza, a crispy canvas festooned with pucillo sauce, juicy sausage, and pepperoni ($16.99 of a 16"). Specialty pies such as the chicken-wing pizza marry grilled chicken and hot-wing sauce under a creamy blue-cheese awning ($18.99), and the scrambled-egg-topped breakfast pizza perks up patrons more effectively than a blaring alarm clock stuck behind a dresser.

Accessorize hands with hearty ciabatta subs ($6.29), deli sandwiches ($6.29), and toasted paninis ($7.99), or calibrate taste buds to the measurement of traditional pasta dinners such as eggplant parmigiana ($12.49) and lasagna ($11.99). Cap off the main course or bribe a sweet-toothed city-council member with creamy, flaky cannoli, cheesecake, and italian butter cookies.
