Mountain Mike’s Pizza announced its first store in Colorado—with plans for further growth in the Centennial State.
The brand’s new restaurant, located in Parker, Colorado, will be owned and operated by Castle Rock residents Chris and Rocio Plucinski. The duo will also open a Mountain Mike’s in nearby Aurora in early 2024. The Plucinskis, who have more than 50 years of combined business experience, are expected to open future Mountain Mike’s locations in Colorado, focusing on Castle Rock, Denver and the surrounding areas.
“Whenever we explore a new venture, we first consider the business’ positive impact on the area,” the Plucinskis said in a press release. “Mountain Mike’s, with its community and family-focused DNA, goes beyond simply offering delicious pizza, it actively integrates into the neighborhoods it serves through meaningful partnerships and initiatives that align with and benefit local residents. We are so drawn to Mountain Mike’s Pizza, and from the food and the atmosphere to the culture and brand values, we are immensely proud to represent this chain, bring Mountain Mike’s to Colorado, and deliver an all-around amazing experience to guests.”

Colorado marks the eighth state that Mountain Mike’s has opened a store. As the brand continues to grow throughout the western United States and beyond, it will introduce its signature “Pizza the Way it Oughta Be!” experience and famous 20″ mountain-sized pizzas, including the popular Pikes Peak, to the Parker community.
The spacious 2,400-square-foot restaurant features eight large-screen TVs and complimentary WiFi. For those who enjoy dining alfresco, there is also a 300-square-foot patio perfect for relaxing in the Colorado sunshine. The new location also includes arcade games and an all-you-can-eat pizza and salad lunch buffet.
The new Parker Mountain Mike’s is located in the Pine Bluffs Plaza at 12239 Pine Bluffs Way. The restaurant is open Sunday through Thursday from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. and Friday and Saturday from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m.
Mountain Mike’s, headquartered in Newport Beach, California, has been operating for 45 years. The brand, which started in Palo Alto, California, now has over 200 locations.
