Food in Hermosa Beach

A breakfast and lunch place sitting directly on the Strand at the foot of Pier Avenue, with a patio facing the sand. You order at the register and carry a number to a table. Pancakes, breakfast quesadillas and burgers, at beach prices rather than oceanfront ones, and it has been feeding the same walk-up trade for decades.

Mon to Thu, 7am to 3pm. Fri to Sun, 7am to 4pm

A pizza counter on Hermosa Avenue that has been cutting slices for more than fifty years. You order at the register, it comes out on paper, and there are a few tables if you want one. It stays open to two in the morning on Friday and Saturday, which makes it the thing you eat on the walk back to the car.

Sun to Thu, noon to midnight. Fri and Sat, noon to 2am
