Mountain Mike's is bringing its curly pepperoni pizzas to Richmond, California, in Contra Costa County, where the brand's newest store has opened on Meeker Avenue, a news release said.
Franchisees Navdeep Grewal, Kuldip Sandhu and Bhimsen Khadka — owners of three Mountain Mike's locations in Northern California — are behind the new store, where the dining room has been temporarily closed due to COVID-19 restrictions in that jurisdiction.
"We're proud to continue growing Mountain Mike's Pizza in Northern California with the addition of our new Richmond location, which is a prime example of the brand's promise to provide great pizza in a relaxed, fun environment," Bhimsen Khadka said in the release.
"Although we're not open at full capacity, we're still proud to serve up our signature pizzas to the Richmond community in the safest way possible. We are committed to serving our neighbors and look forward to providing a comfortable place for our new and existing fans to receive the ultimate pizza experience for many years to come."
Once dining rooms are permitted to reopen at full capacity, the 1,500-square-foot restaurant will offer the brand's most updated restaurant design and will have big screens throughout the dining room. Contemporary design elements include exposed wood and shiplap, modern light fixtures, mountain scape murals and local accents, such as a nostalgic map of Richmond.
Mountain Mike's is a Western U.S. chain, currently operating more than 200 stores in California, Oregon and Utah.
