Trivia Nights at Pizzana -> Pizzana is turning up the nostalgia (and the competition) with two themed trivia nights this week. First up, ‘90s Trivia Night takes over Marina del Rey on Tuesday, serving up cosmos, pizza, TRL anthems, and some tasty prizes—all while raising money for the California Fire Foundation (yep, 100% of proceeds go to a great cause). Then on Thursday, the Silver Lake location goes full rom-com with a Galentine’s Trivia Night hosted by Jeopardy! champ Brendan Sargent. Think heart-shaped pizzas, spritz, an A+ soundtrack, and zero guy drama. Grab your crew, brush up on your ‘90s bangers and iconic movie quotes, and dress to the theme. Spots for both events can be reserved via Resy.
