Mountain Mike’s Pizza, headquartered in Irvine, California, is still growing its nationwide footprint with a new multiunit deal for the Nashville metro area.
Thanks to the three-unit deal, Mountain Mike’s has nailed down its 15th state. Meanwhile, the brand also recently expanded its presence in its home state—specifically, the Sacramento region—opening its third store in Roseville, California. The franchisees behind that deal plan to further expand Mountain Mike’s presence in Placer County.
Meanwhile, the brand in May opened its third location in Nevada’s Clark County, for a total of six stores in that state. That followed two more openings this year in Greater Las Vegas.
Mountain Mike’s inked the Nashville agreement with Nashville Pizza Partners LLC, owned by multi-brand franchisees Jordan and Jerry Nari and Gary and Sandra Mitchell. Their first restaurant is expected to open in Nolensville, Tennessee, in 2026, with more locations to come in the Murfreesboro, Franklin and Brentwood areas.
Mountain Mike’s has been expanding in other parts of the U.S. as well, including ongoing development in Arizona, California, Colorado, Florida, Idaho, Nevada, Oregon, Texas, Utah, Virginia, Washington and California.
“Following recent East Coast development deals in Florida and Virginia, our new relationship with Nashville Pizza Partners reflects our accelerating brand momentum and our strength as a national franchise system,” said Mountain Mike’s CEO Jim Metevier.
Mountain Mike’s earned a top 100 ranking on Entrepreneur’s 2025 Franchise 500 list.
