Pizza, much like the Earth, is circular, flat, and supports the existence of Karl Malone. Chow down like a champion with today's Groupon: for $7, you get $15 worth of pizza and Italian fare from The Pizza Joint, redeemable at its Columbia location.

The Pizza Joint tantalizes taste buds with a towering throng of bounteously topped pizzas, stacked sandwiches, and hearty strombolis that capture the cuddle-like contentments of comfort food. Set stomachs to non-growling with a singular stromboli, such as the deluxe boli, stuffed with ham, meatball, sausage pepperoni, and a plethora of cheeses ($7.25), or the Philly boli, replete with grilled steak, sauteed onions and peppers, the tears of New York sports fans, and melted mozzarella ($7.25). Feasting may continue with any of their nine eclectic, oven-baked sandwiches, such as the classic ham-and-cheese sandwich ($6.75) and the Big Mike, bedecked with four different meats, melted cheeses, and enough veggies to woo a peckish green giant ($6.50). Slice-savoring guests may opt to sample one of their 10 specialty pizzas, including the ricotta-crowned white pie (14”, $15.95) or the feta- and chicken-kissed Brando’s barbecue pizza (14”, $15.95), or choose to create one of their own from a list of regular and premium toppings. Diversify edible matter-states with sips from one of 24 beers on tap, which include such luminous lip smackers as Blue Moon, Fat Tire, and Highland Gaelic.
