TGIT May 16th, California Pizza Kitchen

Let’s go to the mall, while it is still there, to enjoy a TGIT at the California Pizza Kitchen. Thursday May 16, 4pm – 6pm. They have a great happy hour with 1/2 off drinks, 1/2 off starters and a $9 beer and pizza combo. And either before or after Happy Hour, you can do some shopping at Macy’s, Sephora or even Target!

California Pizza Kitchen is at the Pacific View Mall, in the food court area at the south end of the mall at 3301 E Main St, Ventura, CA 93003. Should be a yummy time!
