Beach Pizza, Manhattan Beach

Beach Pizza is a classic slice shop where hot New York, style pizza, quick counter service, and the laid-back rhythm of the South Bay beach scene come together in a place built for hungry surfers, late-night crowds, and anyone craving a simple, satisfying slice.

Located along Highland Avenue near Manhattan Beach Boulevard just steps from the Manhattan Beach Pier and the Strand, this casual pizza counter sits right in the middle of one of the city's most active coastal corridors. Walk inside and the mood is fast-moving and relaxed. Fresh pies spin through the oven while slices are pulled from the rack and handed across the counter within seconds. The smell of melted mozzarella and toasted crust fills the air as beachgoers, cyclists, and late-night wanderers line up for a quick bite before heading back toward the ocean.

Beach Pizza reflects the enduring popularity of the American slice shop, a fast and casual dining tradition rooted in the rise of New York-style pizza during the twentieth century.

Large thin-crust pies designed to be served by the slice made pizza one of the most efficient and beloved quick meals in American cities. Over time, that model traveled far beyond New York, becoming a staple in coastal communities, college towns, and entertainment districts where people wanted a quick, flavorful meal that could be eaten on the go. The formula is simple but timeless: crisp crust, bright tomato sauce, stretchy mozzarella, and slices served hot from the oven throughout the day and night.

Beach Pizza fits perfectly into a day spent exploring the heart of the South Bay coastline.

Start by walking Manhattan Beach Boulevard between Manhattan Avenue and Highland Avenue, where the street runs straight toward the Manhattan Beach Pier with surf shops, cafΓ©s, and beach-town energy along the way. After time on the sand or a sunset walk along the Strand, swing by the pizza counter on Highland Avenue and grab a hot slice before continuing along the oceanfront with the sound of waves rolling in beside you.
