Pizza is a more orderly way to feed a group than serving an unwieldy party sub or dousing your guests with a chili hose. Dole out slices of fun with today’s Groupon to Marvin Mozzeroni’s. This Groupon is valid at the locations in Brockport, Irondequoit, Rochester, and Webster. Choose between two options:

• For $9, you get a pizza meal (an $18.24 total value) that includes:
  • Large, 16-inch cheese pizza (a $13.99 value)
  • Six breadsticks with dipping sauce (a $4.25 value)
• For $11, you get a pizza meal (a $21.98 total value) that includes:
  • Large, 16-inch cheese pizza (a $13.99 value)
  • 1 pound of boneless wings (a $7.99 value)

The pizza artisans at Marvin Mozzeroni’s hand fling and knead fresh dough into thick or thin crusts, baking it to a golden hue in a classic brick oven. Diners can paint a 16-inch, mozzarella-sprinkled pizza disc in a traditional red sauce or Marvin’s signature white sauce, sharing the resulting dozen slices between 4–6 friends or 8–12 oompa loompas. Pair pizza meals with a six-pack of freshly baked breadsticks and dipping sauce to quell unsatisfied doughy cravings. A pack of 10–12 boneless wings slathered in one of five house-made sauces―such as buffalo, sweet ‘n’ sour, and garlic parmesan―assure that bellies don’t talk over one another about the philosophy of emptiness.

Low-pressure private sessions allow enthusiastic teachers to fine-tune students' techniques and form, using their expert eyes and mechanical dancing shoes preprogrammed to do the Charleston. Patrons can bring a partner to comfortably learn how to cavort through classic waltz and fox-trot romps or swivel through the modern steps of salsa, swing, or samba. For dancers hoping to hoof it up in a social setting, the beginner group classes ignite soles with a different dance every week, complete with demonstrations, partnering, and firewalking.

Though Fred Astaire Dance Studio sometimes offers discounts online, this Groupon still offers the best deal available.

Fresh flowers spruce up Valentine's Day dates easier than making your own candy or paying your nephew to dress as a Cupid-themed living statue. Arm yourself with amorous bouquets with today’s Groupon: for $20, you get $40 worth of flowers and gifts from FTD. FTD offers same-day delivery in most areas for orders placed by 2 p.m. in the recipient’s time zone. Service or shipping fees vary widely based on order and delivery dates but typically range from $15.99 to $29.99. For detailed instructions on how to redeem your FTD Groupon, click here.

FTD steeps rooms in the fresh scents of spring with hundreds of thoughtful bouquets delivered by artisan florists or sheathed in gold organza and shipped in an award-winning gift box. Yield to Cupid’s arrow and persistent text messages by presenting a loved one with an FTD-exclusive Sweethearts bouquet, a heart-hued collection of red roses and burgundy mini carnations elegantly interspersed with sprigs of greenery in an etched glass vase ($44.99–$64.99). Or follow a more polychromatic path with the My Everything Valentine's Day bouquet, an unexpected marriage of deep-red roses and white Asiatic lilies ($29.99–$59.99). Red roses and pink lilies spring forth from a sculpted red vase in the Lasting Romance bouquet ($69.99–$94.99), and a spray of 12 long-stemmed roses ($49.99; $59.99 with vase) stands firmly on stems that measure around 16 inches without heels.

Live plants, such as orchids ($39.99+) or miniature roses ($19.99+), outlive their clipped comrades with a simple regimen of watering and pruning, and silk floral displays brighten up sunless corners and survive solely on nightly bedtime stories.

Like your music collection or a public reading of your dream journal, a haircut says a lot about you. Control the message with today's Groupon to Salon Lidori. Choose from the following options:

• For $16, you get a gel nail set or a spa manicure (up to a $35 value).
• For $20, you get a wash, haircut, and style (a $40 value).
• For $35, you get a salon package (up to a $75 value), which includes:
  • One wash, haircut, and style (a $40 value)
  • A gel nail set or a spa manicure (up to a $35 value)

Salon Lidori’s experienced staff—a beautifying phalanx of master stylists, colorists, and nail techs—mounts a campaign against chipped nails and split ends from within a relaxed salon furnished with hardwood floors, neutral tones, and modern art. Spa manicures kick off with a soak to relax hands before an exfoliating scrub burnishes appendages, buffing away dead skin cells. Files dance along nails tips, and stylists push back cuticles, preparing newly refurbished hands for a dip in the lavender-scented paraffin bath. Residual tension disappears like a snowman stepping off a plane in Florida during the hand and arm massage, and the pampering closes out with multiple coats of designer nail polish. Alternatively, gel polish clings to nails for up to two weeks without breaking or chipping.

The haircut package reframes faces, starting with a thorough wash using KMS California products. A stylist shears locks to flatter faces, snipping away split ends and old phone bills and readying the whole hirsute ensemble with a final styling.
