Beach Day Pizza Picnic

Where to pick up, how to keep the crust crisp, and what to pack for wind and sand.

Pizza on the beach is a Delray classic. A few tricks keep sand out and crunch in.

Where to pick up

Pick up your pies at the Lab on Congress Ave on the way to the beach.

Pack it right

• Crack the box lid on the drive so steam escapes and the crust stays crisp.
• Bring a towel or blanket you don't mind getting greasy, plus extra napkins.
• A cutting board or flat cooler lid makes a sand-free table.
• Pack a trash bag. Leave the beach cleaner than you found it.

Mind the wind

Ocean breezes flip box lids. Weigh the lid down with a water bottle or eat with the box facing away from the wind.

Know the rules

Check the City of Delray Beach's current beach rules before you go, including what containers are allowed.
