Buffet info

Mountain Mike's lunch buffet: what to expect

The lunch buffet is one of Mountain Mike's defining features — an all-you-can-eat weekday tradition for families and groups. Details below.

Most Mountain Mike's locations run a weekday lunch buffet, typically Monday through Friday during lunch hours (often 11 AM to 2 PM, but this varies). The buffet includes:

  • Rotating specialty pizzas (Pepperoni Mountain, Mountain Combo, and others)
  • Cheese pizza (always on rotation)
  • Breadsticks with marinara dipping sauce
  • Salad bar at most locations

The buffet is a particularly strong value for families and groups who want variety without ordering multiple full pies. Children typically receive a discounted price; exact pricing and age cutoffs vary by location.

Buffet availability is not guaranteed at every location. Some locations have permanently discontinued the buffet or operate it on limited days. Always call ahead or check the location's page at mountainmikespizza.com.

  • Days: Typically Mon-Fri (select locations Sat)
  • Hours: Usually 11 AM - 2 PM (varies by location)

Signature spotlight

What makes Mountain Mike's different from other pizza chains

Three things that set Mountain Mike's apart from national delivery chains and other regional pizza brands.

Since 1978

Crispy, Curly Pepperoni

Mountain Mike's proprietary pepperoni style curls at the edges during baking and crisps up rather than lying flat. This "curly" pepperoni is trademarked to the chain and is the single item that most regulars cite as the reason they keep coming back.

Dine-in chain

Mountain Lodge Theme

Mountain Mike's stores are designed as sit-down family dining rooms, not delivery-focused storefronts. The mountain lodge aesthetic — wood tones, sports TVs, family booths — is central to the brand identity and differentiates it sharply from Domino's and Papa John's.

Weekday tradition

Lunch Buffet

At most locations, a rotating all-you-can-eat buffet runs on weekdays. This format is virtually extinct among major national pizza chains — Mountain Mike's and Round Table are the last large chains still running it consistently in their core markets.

Ordering tips

How to get the most out of your Mountain Mike's order

Best value

Weekday buffet for groups

If you're going with 3 or more people on a weekday, the lunch buffet is almost always the best per-person value. You get variety without committing to a specific pie, and the salad bar and breadsticks are included.

Delivery tip

Order direct for deals

Ordering through mountainmikespizza.com or the Mountain Mike's app often surfaces location-specific promotions not available on third-party apps like DoorDash or Uber Eats. Worth checking before you pay the third-party service fee.

Customization

Mix crust and sauce freely

Any specialty pizza can be ordered on thin crust, and any sauce (red, garlic butter, BBQ, pesto) can be swapped on most pies. The build-your-own format lets you mix and match without paying a customization surcharge at most locations.

Groups

Large (16-inch) for sharing

For a table of 4, one large (16-inch) specialty pie plus a side order is usually sufficient. Two large pies serve a group of 6-8 comfortably. The Extra Large (18-inch) is available at select locations for very large groups.

Kids

Personal pizza for little ones

The 6-inch personal pizza is sized for a child's appetite. Pairing it with a side of Cinnamon Dippers makes an easy kids' combination without ordering a full shared pie.

Happy hour

Check for beer and game specials

Mountain Mike's locations with beer licenses frequently run draft beer specials tied to local sports events. If your location has a beer license, call ahead about happy hour pricing on pitchers — it's not widely advertised online.

About Mountain Mike's Pizza

The West Coast pizza chain with 45+ years and a signature curl.

Mountain Mike's Pizza was founded in 1978 in Palo Alto, California. Over 45 years, it has built a loyal base across the Western United States — California, Oregon, Washington, Utah, Nevada, and Idaho — with more than 250 locations. The chain is not a national delivery brand; it's a sit-down family pizza restaurant with a mountain lodge aesthetic and a genuine dine-in culture.

The defining product is the crispy, curly-edged pepperoni that chars slightly at the tips during baking — a feature regulars cite as the single biggest reason they choose Mountain Mike's over national alternatives. The lunch buffet tradition, while shrinking across the casual-dining industry, remains a fixture at most Mountain Mike's locations and is central to the brand's identity as a family gathering place.

Mountain Mike's is a franchise-based chain. Locations are independently owned and operated, which means menu offerings, buffet availability, gluten-free options, and pricing all vary from store to store. The official website's store locator is the most reliable source for location-specific information.
