Mountain Mike's Pizza — Restaurant in Redding

Seating was plenty. They have some rooms reserved for any parties or events. Booth options along the wall by windows and table seating thru out the rest of the restaurant. 4 to 6 plus seating available and even a few bar type tables and chairs that sit high. Clean. 3 tvs a small "game room" one racing style and the rest are thos garbage claw machines. We went this trip for the all u can eat lunch. Was pretty good, comes with a salad and pizza and bread sticks options. Salad was excellent as well as the options for it were very fresh...I would definitely do salad here again. Pizza was typical buffet style pizzas... pepperoni...Canadian bacon and pineapple...combo style....ham and mushroom...jus whatever they bring out but all was pretty tasty. Cheese sticks were good as well....drinks I believe we paid separately and my husband had a glass of the guava cider which is delicious. For 2 adults and one child under 10 we spent 50.00 dollars...the buffet for adults I believe was 13.99 and our son was a bit cheaper but idk how much....the drinks and the cider brought it to the 50.00 dollar mark. easily was almost 40.00 dollars for lunch but In my opinion it was good. The lady that took our order had a bit of an attitude...idky, my husband walked away bcuz he was getting annoyed but honestly it was I feel like her lack of hearing what I said or understanding maybe. She was Indian decent and idk maybe she felt some type of way towards me? She was fine when another of her decent walked in and asked a question in the middle of taking my order and went back to being short and snappy with me....idk maybe she was having a bad day. Idk but it was a bit off putting to have someone not native to your country come here and then act prejudice to someone who is of decent from here...that's crazy to me lol regardless I'm not a racial person and I kept it moving but would be nice if she would extend that same kindness as she did to the other gentleman 🤷🏻‍♀️ jus saying. Over all I would be back because it was a nice lunch out...

I’ve ordered from this location before & always gotten great food. I usually order from DoorDash, but apparently that option isn’t available now.

So I ordered a “to-go” with tomatoes on the side, thinking I’d get sliced tomatoes, and there were 2 options (tomato & chopped tomato). When I went to pick up my order everyone was super friendly & it was pretty busy.

Anyway, I was given chopped tomatoes (basically looked like stewed tomatoes) on the side. I’d asked for them on the side, so cool. But when I inquired about sliced tomatoes, the gentleman said this is the only kind of tomatoes they had.

I said that this isn’t what I asked for and I paid for the topping & the guy just walked off. Nice. Thanks. Anyway I didn’t even get the chance to ask for a fork for my salad. I had to wait until another counter person was done with a customer. He was very nice. But apparently nothing could be done. I certainly couldn’t use the tomatoes so I left them.

I’m pretty disappointed. I just finished a 12 hour day way out in the mountains (2 hours away) & wanted to chill with some great pizza. The food is fantastic. The guy who walked off from me? Not so much. I also had added a $10 tip to my card when I ordered. That won’t happen again & I’ll certainly think twice about where I go to eat after work. Oh and I’m staying in a hotel for work, btw. Not like I have a lot of food options for using the toms to cook with or whatever. But...

Mountain Mike’s pizza is a family tradition. Let’s keep it this way. Pros: just the right amount of grease with the pepperonis forming those little delicious bowls with the iconic Mountain Mike’s pepperoni style. CONS: unfortunately, the pizza is over priced and over-cooked most of the time. Maybe if you get a lot of toppings, the cook time is correct, but for a single topping pizza like the iconic pepperoni, it is definitely over-cooked. You should not have slightly burnt edges on the pepperoni and the crust hard! Fix this so the pizza actually tastes good and you should be OK. Also, over $50 for an extra large combination pizza? I understand the pandemic has done a number on the profitability of a lot of companies but you’re never going to sell pizzas at that price. Please focus on customer service and making the pizza worth the price. There’s no way that this pizza should be more than Round Table (which is already super expensive but tastes a little bit better). Mountain Mike’s has always been the value alternative for a decent pizza and in this case they’re trying to charge the same as a Round Table (which is only worth it if you have a coupon). If you’re going to charge Round Table prices, then you better have at least as good of quality is Round Table, but when you over-cook your pizza, you’re not even making that mark. Go back to your roots and make decent pizza for a reasonable price and you...
