Mr. Nice Fry Santa Monica Pier is a bright, eye-catching pizza spot located right on one of California’s most iconic landmarks. With its bold bright green house color covering the entire stand and menu walls, Mr. Nice Fry Santa Monica Pier immediately stands out among the other food spots on the pier. That vibrant green isn’t just a design choice — it makes the place instantly recognizable and easy to find while walking along the Santa Monica Pier. We just came back from Malibu Beach, while visiting Malibu, during our L.A. stay, so we thought it was a good time to take a little food break.
