Mountain Mike's Pizza — Restaurant in Salinas

Mountain Mike's Pizza. After the COVID-19, yes im starting out this way, this pizza chain came up as my go to places. A lot. And Round Table, formerly my top choice for franchise pizza restaurants dropped off my list completely.

In Salinas i believe there are 3 of these spots. They're all pretty good for there own reasons. This one by N. Davis & Boranda area i like because of their Pizza specifically. The dough, toppings and overall flavor/texture of the pie is awesome. The best of the 3, im my opinion is here, again for the pie.

The service has always been good too. I believe they recently renovated the place. Looks good. The staff looks like its cycled around 3 or 4 times. They still treated me very nicely.

Its mainly a family oriented location. They've got several big TVs playing sports or sitcoms. They serve soft drinks, beer on tap and an ok salad bar( canned peaches if you like that. I do. Of the 3 this is the only one which i saw this).

This one also, i thought, felt pricier but the pie itself is worth it. Not that the other locations were bad. This one has this that stood out, for...

I'm throwing away my uneaten wings as we speak. Ordered wings (con blue cheese) with cheesy garlic bread - a simple order which would soon prove anything but. Get to the restaurant and dont need to even give her my name, I was clearly the last order of the night. Im handed two boxes (a good sign, as I ordered two items - or so I thought) and offered Ranch. I respond "no, I actually ordered it specifically with blue cheese." Well, the blue cheese was apparently unattainable since it was already back in the fridge for the night. So, I get home (with no blue cheese) and crack open the alleged "buffalo wings" which were actually just defrosted little grease nuggets of garbage and long-dried franks hot sauce. "wow, this is terrible. What can help redeem this meal and make me whole again? oh thats right, cheesy garlic bread - a quintessential Italian crowd-pleaser." Oh wait, they gave me stale, plain french fries. Go eat...

1. This location (Davis st) has been closed, but Mountain Mike's has not updated this on Google.
2. The phone number for this location is still active, but auto-forwards to the Main St location; although you have no way of knowing this when you call. So if you're from out of town, and call to place a carry out order, they will happily take your order, then you will show up to the closed branch and have to call back in to find out which of the other three local branches you need to go, to to collect your food.
3. Their slicing capabilities are sub par and my pizza was extremely uneven.
4. I asked for marinara sauce with my garlic sticks, the girl who took my order repeated that back to me, and again when I picked up my food, my receipt says "garlic sticks with marinara sauce"... I got...
