They say that pizza, like revenge, is just as good served cold while wearing a bathrobe and novelty unicorn slippers. Take vengeance on your hunger with today's Groupon. For $7, you get $15 worth of Italian cuisine from Johnny Brusco's New York Style Pizza at the Collierville, Cordova, Lakeland, or Olive Branch location. This Groupon is not valid toward alcohol.

When you bite into the juicy tomatoes and finely tuned sauces that grace the pizza pies and strombolis at Johnny Brusco's New York Style Pizza, you're experiencing a genealogy of flavor that extends back to the recipes of Johnny Pace in his 1965 Manlius, New York, pizza shop. Today the restaurant prides itself on using the finest ingredients and a diligent sauce-stirring wrist to deliver a lot of love (and just a sprinkle of hatred to give it zing) into every savory bite.

Let your appetite stroll over a full menu of delectable pies, including The Gourmet pizza (with spinach, sun-dried tomatoes, black olives, artichoke hearts, and feta, $17.99 for a medium / $23.49 for a large), the Chicken Florentine (sliced tomatoes, spinach, and chicken on a blanket of pesto, $17.99/$22.49), and the Hawaiian Luau (Canadian bacon with pineapple and mozzarella, $12.49/$17.49), among many other signature pies. However, if you prefer to put a roof on your pizza, the Johnny's Italian Special stromboli decorates its rolled-pizza-dough-and-mozzarella interior with pepperoni, sausage, mushrooms, onions, and green peppers ($7.79). See individual store menus for more specifics.

Pizzaphobes can pursue their sandwich lust with a signature parmigiana sub such as the meatball parmigiana or the eggplant parmigiana ($6.99 each). A variety of pastas, salads, and calzones are also available. Today's deal gives you the pious belly and devotee's marinara mustache you will need to shower freshly prepared alms at the feet of your Pepperarcus altar, thereby preventing next year's pepperoni pestilence.
