Maybe it’s the brightly colored island theme, but there’s something about Monterey that beckons us to come in, sit all day, drink beer, eat pizza and sing karaoke. It’s a breezy, friendly place that’s open for lunch, dinner and late-night snacking, and you can sing karaoke there any night of the week. Choose from a massive menu of pizzas, like the savory Beach Comber, with creamy garlic sauce, ham, bacon and pineapple. Also watch out for Monterey’s amazing specials, like half-off pizza day.
