Summertime is full of barbecues, buffets, and potlucks, but if you’re all grilled out, get out of that summer slump with a slice or sandwich from Italian Village Pizza. For more than 30 years, these pizzaiolos have served up the freshest dishes to Pittsburghers and gained some devoted followers with its imported meats and cheeses and handmade dough.

Through Google Offers, you can now get a $5.00 coupon for $10 worth of pizza, sandwiches, and more.

Italian Village Pizza offers a selection of specialty pizzas, oven-baked hoagies, calzones, and strombolis in addition to signature dishes like Pizza Boats and Wedgies. But don’t leave without trying their best-selling Village Rolls ($8.25–9), small balls of fresh dough rolled with red sauce, cheese, and your choice of topping and brushed with garlic butter. Break the BBQ bender.

We found a new Google Offer this week at a great Pittsburgh-based Italian restaurant.

Visit Bado’s Cucina and you’ll find a fiery hand-constructed wood-fired oven that takes center stage, both in the intimate dining room and as well as on its charming Italian menu. At this McMurray favorite, dinner is designed to be set in small multi-coursed plates.

Start your dining adventure with an antipasto, such as Verde’s roasted and marinated vegetables and continue with a perfectly cooked pasta, like the Potato Gnocchi with creamy pancetta and sage sauce, or one of thinly crusted pizzas.

The Stuffed Flank Steak and the Lamb Chop are both wood-fired, and so are some of their fresh salads, like the Caesar. Bread Pudding presents the final delicious flourish to your meal as it’s served piping hot, straight out of the oven. Feel free to pair dinner with your favorite bottle of wine from home—the restaurant has a BYOB policy (with a $6 corkage fee). Learn more!.
