Slice of the South Bay: How Mickey’s Giant Pizza Turned Hermosa Beach Upside Down This October!
About Mickey’s: A Hermosa Beach Icon

If you’re craving classic Italian deli vibes with a beachside twist, Mickey’s Italian Delicatessen & Liquor Store is the go-to spot in Hermosa Beach. Since 1953, this beloved deli, pizzeria, and sandwich shop has been serving up everything from hearty subs to handmade pizzas, pastas, and more, all with that authentic, down-to-earth SoCal flavor locals adore.

Whether you’re grabbing lunch between surf sessions or picking up dinner with friends, Mickey’s casual charm and tasty menu make it a must-visit when you’re in the South Bay.

October Spotlight: The Extra Large Pizza Slice Phenomenon

Every October, in celebration of National Pizza Month, Mickey’s brings out one of its most Instagram-worthy offerings: the Extra Large (20-inch!) Pizza Slice. Much more than a slice, it’s practically an entire pizza in pizza-slice disguise.

From October 1–30, pizza lovers flocked to Mickey’s to take on this massive, cheesy slice, made with the same handmade dough and rich tomato sauce the pizzeria is known for. Topped with gooey mozzarella and your choice of classic toppings, this slice was as fun to photograph as it was delicious to devour.

What makes this deal extra special isn’t just the size, it’s the experience: because this slice is so huge, it’s basically its own pie. Cut it up to share, or take it on as a personal challenge!

What Makes Mickey’s Pizza So Good

Mickey’s Deli has built a loyal following in the Hermosa Beach community thanks to:

  • Hand-made pizza dough and classic Italian tomato sauce
  • Generous mozzarella cheese with even topping distribution
  • Creative toppings ranging from pastrami to BBQ chicken
  • A relaxed, beach-town atmosphere that keeps you coming back

Whether you’re into square slices, classic pepperoni, or something adventurous, Mickey’s offers a pizza experience that feels both nostalgic and totally satisfying.

Mickey’s Deli isn’t just another sandwich shop; it’s a South Bay institution where locals and visitors alike gather for big portions, bold flavors, and moments worth remembering (especially when holding a slice bigger than your face!). This October’s giant pizza slice promotion was a perfect reminder that sometimes, bigger really is better.
