With its equal portions, regional variations, and a careful system of checks and balances governing its toppings, the pizza is a perfect symbol for its native land, America. Get your slice of the pie with today's Groupon: for $7, you get a large hand-tossed or thin-crust Papa John's pizza with up to three toppings (up to a $16.99 value). Enjoy the carryout-only creation from any one of six locations in Loves Park, Rockford, Janesville, South Beloit, or Belvidere.

Papa John's crafts oven-baked creations from a menu brimming with robust topping options. Fresh roma tomato slices, baby portabello mushrooms, and jalepeño peppers adorn pizzas with garden variety, as well as black olives imported from Spain's Herrara grove. Meaty options such as grilled all-white-meat chicken, filler-free spicy italian sausage, and hickory-smoked bacon add layers of heartiness to slices, and cheese blends pair mozzarella with parmesan, romano, or asiago.

Papa John's has been popping out perfectly personalized pies round the clock for the past 25 years. The pizzeria stays open late, making it the ideal eatery for impromptu pajama parties and uncontrollable sleep feasting.

Though Papa John's sometimes offers discounts on pizza, this Groupon still is the best deal.
