For the last six years, including 2023, Mountain Mike’s Pizza has produced strong sales, experienced continued growth, inked impressive partnerships, and achieved many major milestones, thus making the fast-growing brand one of the most dynamic and interesting pizza chains in the U.S. The leading fast casual family-style pizza chain is known for its legendary crispy, curly pepperoni, 20” Mountain-sized pizzas, fresh sliced toppings, and dough made fresh daily. By the end of 2023, Mountain Mike’s Pizza will have opened nearly 20 new locations throughout the U.S., including debuts in Texas, Colorado, and Los Angeles County, and added more than 60 new units to its pipeline through franchise recruitment and development. The fast-growing chain inked multi-unit deals in Washington and Wisconsin this year, bringing development to two new states, and adding to the eight states where it currently operates restaurants. Impressively, Mountain Mike’s Pizza is on pace to surpass the 400-unit milestone by the end of 2025, which would complete an increase in units of more than 120 percent since 2017. Beyond its impressive restaurant growth trajectory, Mountain Mike’s has seen same-store sales (SSS) increase more than 25% over the past three years. By extending opportunities to new franchise partners looking to diversify their franchise portfolios, Mountain Mike’s is primed to continue expanding in markets where there is a strong demand for fast-casual family dining concepts. Since being acquired by Chris Britt and Ed St. Geme in 2017, Mountain Mike’s has experienced a strong desire among existing franchise partners to continue growing with the company.
