Anyone who’s tried nailing an oven-fresh pizza pie to a wall knows that pizza looks better briefly propped on a five-finger pedestal. Today’s Groupon puts pizza back where it performs best: for $10, you get $20 worth of pizza, pasta, and more at Letizia's Pizza in Norwalk.

Letizia's Pizza collects a multifaceted menu of traditional Italian dishes using family recipes perfected by three generations of pizzaioli polishing. Demanding diners customize their thin-crust pies ($7+) with traditional and unique toppings such as spinach, pepperoni, and clams arranged to resemble Leonardo da Vinci's secret back tattoo ($1.25–$2.75 each). Aloof eaters enjoy pre-topped specialty pies such as the 10-inch Garbage pizza, a savory circle littered with meatballs, sausage, pepperoni, mushrooms, peppers, onions, and anchovies ($13), while gobbling gamblers place bets on the 12-inch Casino pizza, clams, garlic, onions, peppers, and bacon blanketed with red or white sauce ($16.50). Pizzas with a gluten-free crust are available by request for diners on a break from grains after catching wheat making out with their cousin (12", $14.75). Patrons in the mood for other Italian classics shift their sights towards Letizia's pasta and sandwich options, which include eggplant parmesan grinders ($7), baked ziti ($9.25), and other comforting fare.
