Mountain Mike’s Pizza, a West Coast-based chain known for its family-friendly atmosphere and classic pizzas, is preparing to open a new location in Union City at 31852 Alvarado Blvd.
The new restaurant is set to open in the former home of Round Table Pizza and Dollar Star, according to a recent liquor license application. Franchisee Gurpreet Buttar tells What Now San Francisco that the Union City location is slated for a December 2025 opening, pending final buildout and permitting. Customers can expect the chain’s signature offerings including specialty pizzas, wings, sandwiches, and a lunch buffet.
This isn’t Buttar’s first foray with the brand. In 2023, he and business partner Raj Gill opened a Mountain Mike’s in East Palo Alto, adding to their portfolio of five Bay Area locations, including sites in Fremont, Milpitas, and Belmont. The group continues to focus on expanding within the region, capitalizing on Mountain Mike’s growing popularity across the western United States.
Founded in 1978 in Palo Alto, Mountain Mike’s Pizza has grown to nearly 300 locations across states including California, Arizona, Nevada, Oregon, and Texas. Known for its welcoming environment and extensive dine-in, carryout, and delivery options, the brand has become a go-to for sports fans, families, and group gatherings alike.
The Union City location is expected to feature the same amenities seen in other regional stores, such as big-screen TVs, arcade games, and an all-you-can-eat salad and pizza buffet. Beer and wine will also be available, in line with the brand’s full-service model.
Mountain Mike’s menu includes classic selections like its signature curly pepperoni pizza, as well as specialty options such as the Everest, Mt. Veggiemore, Spicy Himalayan Pizza, and Chicken Club. Guests can also choose from wings, garlic sticks, salads, oven-baked sandwiches, and desserts like cinnamon pizza and mini churros.
