Need somewhere to get your deal on tonight? Every day during next two weeks, Team Meal Ticket will bring you a daily Restaurant Week pick. We will highlight some of the best deals being offered by officially participating restaurants, as well as some renegade Restaurant Weekers around town. Head out for pizza tonight at Pizzeria Stella (420 S. Second) for "Pizza Week," where $25 will get you an antipasti dish or salad, a pizza, gelato, and a glass of house wine, draft beer, or non-alcoholic drink. Quite an amazing deal in the sea of deals that has been the past two weeks. Special pies this week include a red pie with fontina and provolone, and a mortadella pie with pistachio-green onion pesto. (Read more on Stella in Drew Lazor's July pizza story.) Another Headhouse steal can be had at Xochitl (408 S. Second St.) where chef Lucio Palazzo is offering a five-course Restaurant Week menu.

Did the Stella thing. What an unbelievable deal. The special pizza was awesome (despite the haters their pizza is the best, well better than Zavino) and I had grilled octopus with an excellent pesto sauce and, as if I didn't have enough basil, got a good size scoop of basil gelato. All this and a glass of house white (went well with the octopus) for $25. Living large.
