It’s Friday night. You’re out on the town with friends and the bartender’s voice just ricocheted across the room, “Last call everyone.”

Bleary eyed, you search the walls for a clock. It’s 1:45 a.m. How could it be so late already? You’re not ready for the night to end.

The sound of your stomach growling rivals the groans of your friends shuffling toward the bar to close out their tabs. Dejected, ready to accept the end of your night, you suddenly remember the solution to your problem: Mikey’s Late Night Slice.

That’s right: Dayton is getting its very own Mikey’s Late Night Slice. Located in downtown Dayton at 503 E. First St. (in the former Local Cantina space), this new pizza shop is a great addition to the area with neighbors like Brixx Ice Company, Pins Mechanical Co. and will be especially convenient during the Dayton Dragon’s upcoming season at Day Air Ballpark.

The grand opening of Mikey’s Late Night Slice will be at 4 p.m. Jan. 30, and guests are encouraged to join early — the first 100 will receive a free slice and Mikey’s shirt. The celebration will run all night long, featuring a DJ, pizza giveaways and more to break in the new Dayton shop.
