Mikey’s Late Night Slice
The local pizza chain boasts three traditional locations, two non-traditional locations (one in a cafeteria, one in an office building) and a thriving food truck business. Each Mikey’s has a quirky vibe and the pizza company refers to its fans as “pizzafaces.” Mikey’s has a signature Cheezus Crust (American cheese melted atop two slices of pizza and pressed together into a sandwich for $7). Pizzas come whole or in slices. There’s also the Pizza Dawg, a hot dog stuffed with pepperoni and cheese and served in a slice of pizza as a bun ($5). “All the Bacon” featuring Applewood smoked bacon, black pepper bacon and Canadian bacon, was a recent Pizza of the Week.
