Mountain Mike's Pizza has opened its first Tennessee location in Nolensville, marking the brand's expansion into its 12th state, according to a press release.

The new 2,400-square-foot restaurant at 7344 Nolensville Road is owned and operated by Nashville Pizza Partners LLC. The group, led by franchisees Jordan and Jenny Nari and Gary and Sandra Mitchell, signed a multi-unit development deal to bring the chain to the southern Nashville metro area, with future locations planned for Murfreesboro, Franklin and Brentwood.

"Bringing Mountain Mike's Pizza to the greater Nashville metropolitan area is an exciting milestone for our team, and Nolensville felt like the right place to introduce the brand's family‑focused experience to Tennessee," Jordan Nari said in the press release. "This is a community that values connection, quality and local gathering places, and we're looking forward to building a restaurant that becomes a true neighborhood destination as we expand across the region."

The restaurant includes nine big-screen televisions, a weekday lunch buffet, a salad bar, a kids' arcade area and a 200-square-foot outdoor patio.

"We believe Mountain Mike's fills a real need in communities like Nolensville, where families are looking for a great local gathering place centered around quality food and memorable experiences, and the enthusiasm we've seen for the brand in new markets continues to reinforce that appeal," Jim Metevier, CEO of Mountain Mike's Pizza, added in the press release. "Our growth is driven by partnering with operators who understand both the community and the guest experience, and Nashville Pizza Partners brings the vision and operational strength to establish Mountain Mike's as a standout in the region."

The location is open daily from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m.

Mountain Mike's has nearly 330 restaurants.
