Mickey’s Deli, a Hermosa Beach staple, has been serving the community pizza, spaghetti, sandwiches and more since 1953. Like many locals, Mickey Mance came to Hermosa Beach with a dream. He opened one of the first stores in the area that included a deli, market, and liquor store! The establishment has been a favorite for locals and tourists combined over the past 65 years.

When you walk into Mickey’s you automatically feel like family. I was lucky enough to be invited to the media event for the debut of the Spicy Spooky Cheeto Pizza and we were served by none other than Mickey’s grandson, Mickey.  He is now taking the reigns as the creative director of the deli and has made a pizza perfect for the Halloween season. Meet the Spicy Spooky Cheeto Pizza! Made with a homemade charcoal infused crust, mozzarella and cheddar cheese, and topped with wait for it…Flamin’ Hot Cheetos! This pairing of gooey cheeses and crunchy Cheetos is the perfect Halloween treat if you’re going out on the town, watching scary movies, or answering the door for trick or treaters!

The Spicy Spooky Cheeto Pizza will be served throughout the month of October – get it while it lasts!
