Mikey’s Late Night Slice Partnered with Mike's Hot Honey

— February 3, 2026 — Lifestyle
Mikey’s Late Night Slice and Mike's Hot Honey announced a new partnership to create a series of spicy and sweet (AKA swicy) menu items perfect for shaking off the cold winter chill this month.

The menu starts off with the Mike(y)‘s Squared pizza that boasts spicy, sweet and savory ingredients alongside The Birds & the Bees (& the Bacon!) pizza and the Mike’s Hot Honey EXTRA Spicy Margarita. The brand will also be offering Mike’s Hot Honey Bee’s Knees and the House-Made Mike’s Hot Honey Ranch dipping sauces that are perfect for pairing with your choice of pizza.

Founder of Late Night Slice Mikey Sorboro himself commented on the partnership with Mike's Hot Honey saying, "There’s no better way to treat your honey than with something sweet and a building heat. Mike’s Hot Honey combined with our signature NY-style pies so flawlessly, I can’t believe we didn’t do it sooner. The ‘Mike(y)’s Squared’ takes crispy cup and char pepperoni to another level with a drizzle of hot honey, and ‘The Birds & the Bees (& the Bacon!)’ is just out of this world.”
