Mountain Mike’s Pizza gambles on Las Vegas

Mountain Mike’s Pizza has opened the brand’s first location in Henderson, Nevada, a suburb of Las Vegas. It’s the brand’s 300th unit systemwide, according to a press release.

The Henderson restaurant is owned and operated by longtime Mountain Mike’s franchisees Dalvir Janjua, Kamaljit Singh, Manjinder Kaur and Manpreet Rai, who have exclusive rights to develop at least nine additional Mountain Mike’s locations in Greater Las Vegas. The franchisees own and operate three Mountain Mike’s restaurants in Reno and another two in Stockton, California.

“As a longtime partner of Mountain Mike’s Pizza, first as a delivery driver and now as a multi-state franchisee, I have had the opportunity to witness and experience several brand achievements over the last 15-plus years, and it is an honor to introduce the brand to Greater Las Vegas and celebrate its 300th location,” Janjua said in the release. “Mountain Mike’s stands out in a competitive sector by delivering high-quality, delicious pizzas and fostering a sense of community, and as we welcome locals to the first Mountain Mike’s Pizza in Henderson, we are laser-focused on becoming a beloved destination for our signature pizzas and welcoming, family-friendly environment.”

Jim Metevier, CEO of Mountain Mike’s Pizza, said the brand is setting the tone for 2025 by debuting in Las Vegas and opening its 300th location.

“With nearly 150 units in development across a dozen states and a goal to open at least 35 restaurants in 2025, the Mountain Mike’s brand is poised for an aggressive, growth-focused year, fueled by our proven franchise model and passionate franchise partners,” he said in the release.
