Mountain Mike’s Pizza, based in Irvine, California, is cutting prices for its lunch buffet to meet customer demand for value in hard economic times.
For a limited time, the company said it will offer its all-you-can-eat pizza and salad bar lunch buffet for $9.99 through the end of January at participating locations.
Mountain Mike’s has also introduced two new salads—the Chef’s Salad and the Antipasto Salad—starting at $7.99.
“There are two priorities on everyone’s mind after an indulgent holiday season: health and budget,” said Carol DeNembo, Mountain Mike’s chief marketing officer. “The $9.99 lunch buffet pricing was extremely well-received by guests in 2024, so we’re proud to reintroduce this value price to provide a cost-effective, all-you-can-eat lunch option throughout January, while expanding our salad offerings to include the fresh and hearty Chef’s Salad and Antipasto Salads.”
The $9.99 lunch buffet special will be available from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. on weekdays, with a rotating line-up of pies like the Mt. Veggiemore and the BBQ at the Ranch.
Joining Mountain Mike’s existing Garden and Create-Your-Own salad offerings, the Chef’s Salad and Antipasto Salad are available at all 300-plus locations nationwide through March 31. The Chef’s Salad features a bed of crisp lettuce piled high with ham, salami, tomatoes, a blend of cheddar and mozzarella cheeses and red onions served with a choice of dressing. The Antipasto Salad is topped with salami, ham, a cheddar/mozzarella mix, tomatoes, pepperoncini slices, black olives and garbanzo beans atop a bed of crisp lettuce and finished with a zesty Italian dressing. The salads are available in individual or family sizes.
Founded in 1978, Mountain Mike’s, a fast-growing West Coast brand, was named one of America’s Favorite Restaurant Chains by Newsweek, as well as one of the Top Beloved Brands by Nation’s Restaurant News. The brand also received FRANdata’s prestigious 2024 TopScore FUND Award.
