The invention of pizza dough spared many dexterous fingers from less rewarding gigs tossing steak knives, chainsaws, and beak-jaw snapping turtles. Keep nimble fingers intact with today's Groupon: for $10, you get $25 worth of Italian fare and more at North End Pizza, in Centennial Hills.

The daughter of one of Boston's most legendary pizza chefs, North End Pizza owner Claudia Vaccari sates Western palates with a menu full of authentic East Coast pies, calzones, subs, and pastas. Every pie is tossed-to-order with Vaccari's father's special dough—forged in his Boston kitchen—before a spoonful of her mother's locally made secret sauce creates a matrimonial union of court-ordained freshness. Taste the tradition with a hand-tossed pizza ($9.25–$13.25) and a savory selection of 22 fresh pie toppers that include pepperoni, salami, eggplant, anchovy, and jalapeño ($0.50–$1.50 each). Unlike full metal aprons, pizzas can be folded, transforming them into calzones packed with a selection of meatballs, ham and cheese, veggies, and more ($12–$13). Miniature gourmands can prep their palates for a half order of spaghetti or rigatoni ($2.75) or a sundry sampler adorned with fries, mozzarella sticks, and mac 'n' cheese bites ($5.75).

North End Pizza also serves wine and beer so spirit sippers can toast to their favorite vermillion-footed baseball team as they sit amid warm green and yellow walls that bear a bevy of Boston–themed posters, pennants, and paintings. Carryout meals are also available.
