Like waking a hibernating bear, waking a dormant stomach causes violent growls that can only be silenced by slices of pizza and 20 minutes of gentle patting. Ward off vicious appetites with today’s Groupon: for $10, you get $20 worth of pizza, sandwiches, and salads at Pat’s Pizza in Hampden.

Pat’s Pizza’s menu, which carries on a culinary legacy that began in 1931, arrives at tables bursting with Italian classics and hearty takes on family fare. Diners can test out recently sharpened incisors with a mexican pizza topped with sausage and salsa ($8.25) or challenge a 14-inch greek pie ($16.25) to a duel with taste buds. Nine different salads ($3.25–$6.75) fill gaps in nutrition or in brick walls, and cheese-packed calzones ($5.50+) cradle fresh ingredients in the warm embrace of house-made dough. Diners can also eschew more circular fare for a range of burgers ($3.25+) and sandwiches, including meatball ($3.75+) and classic ham, cheese, and bacon hoagies ($4.25+).
