Ordering a pizza and watching a movie is perfect for about any occasion at home. But why not leave the sweats behind and put on something half decent when a gourmet pizza and foodie movie is calling?

Starting today, Jim Lahey and his team at Co. will host movie nights every second Monday of each month and create a pie inspired by the movie. Tonight's movie is Les Blank's "Garlic is as Good as Ten Mothers" (with a garlicky-inspired pizza, of course). It'll be shown with no sound at the beginning of dinner service (5 p.m.) and with sound at 9:30 p.m. Part of the sales on movie nights will go toward the West 50^th Street Campus' High School of Hospitality Management and Food and Finance High School.

Co. is located at 230 Ninth Ave. (at 24^th St.), 212-243-1105, http://www.co-pane.com/.
