Shall we have a night in on Saturday? Film and pizza.
'Serata' = se-RA-ta. 'Pizza' = PIT-za — Italian double 'z' gives a 'ts' sound.
Use this for a relaxed, intimate social plan at home. 'Film e pizza' is the Italian equivalent of a movie night — immediately understandable and appealing. It is a lower-key alternative to going out that can be equally warm and social.
'Serata in casa' (evening at home) vs 'serata fuori' (evening out). The combination 'film e pizza' is a conversational shorthand for a relaxed movie night — Italians will understand immediately. 'Facciamo' again as the first-person plural suggestion.

Pizza delivery ('pizza a domicilio') in Italy has exploded since platforms like Glovo and JustEat arrived. However, Italians still debate whether delivered pizza matches the quality of eating in a pizzeria — 'non è la stessa cosa' (it is not the same thing). The ritual of choosing a film together — often taking longer than the film itself — is a well-recognised Italian social phenomenon.
