I had high hopes with this place being under new ownership and good reviews but it was worse than ever and definitely the worse place for an overpriced pizza in Nevada County! For starters, I placed my order around 3pm for 5pm and got there about 5:03. There was one person ahead of me and after the cashier helped them they just walked away without even acknowledging me. I let them know I had placed an order and added a drink and salad bar. She gave me those with no mention of my pizza and how long it would be, no number or anything. I walked back up 15 minutes later asking if I needed a number and apparently she set it on the counter while I was trying to get my salad but without mentioning it. Getting a salad was a huge task and killed my back (I'm 5'9" and in my 40's). The salad bar was about 3 ft high with huge glass covering everything about 3 rows back and 3ft away and I could barely reach anything after bending way down. The lettuce was only iceberg and not very fresh and $10 for 1 trip! My pizza finally came out 25 minutes late and the person dropping it off was walking away really fast, I wanted to say thank you but all I could get out was "that's not right." as it was not made the way I ordered it. Her response was "I'll go check" as if it was possibly my fault. This was around a $45 pizza for a large. She came back 15 minutes later with a Luke warm pizza with hard crust and with what looked and tasted like microwaved pineapple added to it and said nothing, no apology no acknowledging their mistake or that my pizza was now 40 minutes late. It seemed like they just waited a long time to make it seem like they remade it, it was bad! Just an overpriced crap pizza. It also was too small to fit the large pan so I kind of got a medium at the large price. They only had one trash can that was literally overflowing. Yes, it was a Friday night, yes it was busy, but that is no excuse for bad food and poor service at a steep price. The arcade that costs 6+ credits a game (I think $5.25 for 20 credits so basically 3 games) does not make up for this! Also, with the new cheap tables and chairs it's set up to pack way too many people in there and it's uncomfortable to try to walk around. Obviously, they only care about packing them in and getting them out and not the product or customers. They're getting 2 stars because I didn't see any cock roaches and I'm in a good mood read more

$27 for a medium "specialty" pizza boasting 12 slices? This proposition definitely peaked my interest, especially since my kiddos are so particular and actually agreed on something. Skimpy, flavorless, and greasy. Oh and those 12 slices? They should call them micro slices. Staff was sweet. Establishment is clean. Love that they have an OG Jaws pinball machine and beer on tap. We might be back for the lunch buffet, but definitely will not be ordering our pizza night pizza from here again. read more

Mountain Mike's Pizza - Everest ordered with white sauce and no beef. - Pizza Near Me - Grass Valley, California

Horrible service! Cashier actually put her finger up to me and took a personal phone call. To top it all off the 15$ Swiss burger made us laugh it was ridiculous, you had to take the top bread off to see if there was anything init. Poor woman in front of me had EBT but their machine never works so they threw her food away. This place needs to be closed down. read more

The pizzas are iconic, Clean tables, booster chairs ready to use. We were a mixture of ages and ordering off Salad, multiple beverages, lots of napkins.!! Just fantastic fun with not a moment of, looking for anything, the service was amazing! read more

Great pizza. New owner has stepped it up. The salad bar was kinda disappointing and expensive, tho. We decided we definitely go back. But , for the pizza! read more

I love this place the customer service is outstanding!! Pizza is my favorite food and I gotta say mountain mikes always hits! The girls in the front are always so sweet and helpful. Love this ambiance!! read more

I have read some reviews that are saying this restaurant is overpriced and they complain about nitpicky things. I believe the last review complained about the chairs to sit in. They just replaced all the tables and chairs and the entire restaurant looks great. They are trying to allow more people to come in and enjoy their pizza since it is very good pizza. The staff are all friendly, very helpful and the owners are incredible and care a lot about all of their customers. They're very friendly. There were also complaints about the Arcade and the pricing you can't get a bottle of water basically these days for less than five dollars so expecting to do anything for entertainment for five dollars is definitely an over expectation. You do have to consider that many of the arcades are distributing prizes that have to come overseas and we all know about tariffs and what they have done to businesses so thankfully these businesses are still able to operate, but nothing is cheap these days, including the price of food and or gas so you can't expect to go out and spend $15 and get pizza and get entertainment. That's not even close to reality! I'm sure not every product that's put out is perfect but this restaurant tries hard. They put out a very good product. It's good and they do their BEST! You have to take each complaint with a grain of salt because every customer is different and some people like to just complain unfortunately. The restaurant does have a variety of games. They have a big party room available and I would highly recommend this restaurant. read more

Yooooo this one is bad. They had some kid running around in the kitchen (related to a staff member) and literally nobody washes their hands. They will grab a dirty rag then hand you your food also the wait is about twice as long as they say. Yo this is not a professional place. This is a poor excuse for a pizzeria read more

First, the cashier tells me I have to go online to redeem my points to buy a pie and the app says I have to talk to the cashier so then she's pissed because she has to help a customer. It's really disappointing that I'm never gonna be coming back to this spot because it's been a family favorite for 40 years. Our favorite part of the pepperoni pies that we order is the Mountain Mike's Pizza sauce. So I ordered extra and we can't find any on the pizza. It's like a cheese and pepperoni pizza with no sauce. I asked three different employees and they all say they put extra sauce on it completely lying to us and would admit they made a mistake and forgot to put any on it. So then I have to ask for a container of extra sauce they bring it to me and it's frozen. Not to mention they redecorate her now. It looks like a cafeteria. We are sitting here with the pizza and it's completely raw so now no one wants to eat it, but were afraid to ask to have it remade because we don't know what they're gonna do to it..and my wife's SMALL pizza came to $24 for a pineapple, onion and tomato pie read more

After almost 20 minutes of waiting, The garlic bread was DRENCHED in butter. After I kindly asked for a refund and to return my food they offered to put it back in the oven. Which dose not take away the taste of butter. They are overpriced and inconsiderate. And for 12$ all you can eat salad bar they had very limited options. read more

I brought my kids when they were younger...And the pizza hasn't changed yum And the place is clean and friendly

Ordered a large combo pizza a few days ago. DoorDash guy got lost or something so it was cold, had to microwave each piece but it was delicious! read more

Best Chinese food around. I won't order Chinese food from any other food. Love the chicken in foil, Chinese salad, chicken chow mien.

So so pizza, but really $9.99 for a side salad that should have cost maybe five bucks... never again! But...very pleasant and nice employees

We ordered about a dozen large pizzas for an event about one month ago. About 8 should have had red sauce. There was no red sauce on them. We threw away most of those pizzas. I paid over $500 for that order. I thought it must be a fluke because we ordered so many, and maybe they ran out of red sauce. So tonight I ordered a medium pepperoni. And guess what?! No red sauce again. Just threw it out. They wouldn't even refund me because I ordered it through door dash. Although door dash delivered it, they had nothing to do with the failure to put any red sauce on the pizza. It was just a cheese, meat, and dough pizza sans the red sauce. Horrible. read more

So, if you are looking for $50 dollar pizza that you could just as easily buy at the grocery store in the frozen food section for about 1/10th the price this is the place for you.. Absolutely horrible service and even worse pizza... The manager was rude and unprofessional and could really use some training in that department.. anyway, zero out of zero on both service and quality of pizza... read more

Tasted great the first time, coming back up, not so much. Was deathly sick the whole next day.

Havent had there pizza in cpl Yrs ? Stuck at motel after the big storm no power no heat & broke my ankle !

Great staff, clean location, great pizza. Love supporting a local business instead of a chain!!

By far the worst pizza establishment around. 2.5 hours later, still waiting on pizza. Called several times for them to say he just left. DO NOT ORDER FROM THIS PLACE! read more

Employees have no clue what they're doing. I door dashed an order, Mtn Mike's employee told me ranch was free when I called to add to my order (not available through door dash to add). Delivery driver showed up and the same girl said she gave wrong information, and couldn't give me a 75 cent ranch without creating a separate door dash order and paying $10 in delivery for a 75 cent ranch. If you don't know how to do your job, don't make other people pay for it. read more

One of my favorite pizza places in California. We used them to cater our wedding dinner. Delivery was smooth and the pizza was delicious.

Although I frequent this establishment on an almost weekly basis I have to say today I am very disappointed and will likely not be back anytime soon. My 102 year old great grandmother had to urgently use the restroom and when I took her in to ask if she could use theirs I was told by the woman who is always working there when I go in that their restrooms are only for customers. Considering the age of my great grandmother and the unsteady walking with her cane I would have thought they would have had a little more lenience on that rule. The fact that I really enjoy their pizza makes me extremely sad they have terrible service for the elderly. Thankfully Baskin Robin next door was kind enough to let her use theirs read more

The best pizza in Nevada County. Even better than Round Table.

My husband had a last minute craving for pizza and this was right in front our faces. We ordered the honey BBQ wings and a small gluten-free crust pizza. The food was good, but honestly, after being spoiled by pizza places like Pieology and Blaze Pizza, what we got was SUPER EXPENSIVE. $35 for this seemingly personal mini-sized pizza (was a SMALL) and some over-sauced wings. Their service wasn't too great - we didn't get our blue cheese after they said they'd return with it. The wait was ridiculous for a SMALL pizza and wings. But I do remember one thing incredibly well...the women's restroom was AMAZINGLY CLEAN! They get a star for that alone! I can't stress enough how much better I feel about the food I'm about to eat at the restaurant that actually cares about the cleanliness of their own bathroom! It means their kitchen MUST BE as clean since THEY use it!! read more

Worst pizza ever! This is a pic of our "Snowy Alps" selection, please pull up a pic from the website menu for full comparison of what it should look like. Any yes- you will need to zoom in on my pic to see ANY toppings, so pathetic that we actually paid for this and delivery as well. Very frustrating and we will never re-visit to waste our money again, my husband called it the "recession pizza". No garlic taste either! Extremely disappointed with our decision to order from here! read more

I did not feel like cooking dinner the other night, so I had my husband stop by and pick up a mountain mike's pizza to bring home. They were quick and the pizzas tasted great. Our kids were thrilled that they got pizza for dinner too. read more

One of my favorite pizza places in Grass Valley! If you want a pizza made with real dough, cheese, meats, and veggies, this is the place for you. You will pay more than $5 for a large pizza, but cardboard is one of the ingredients ;) Okay beer and wine selection and the salad bar is always fresh. Be careful if you order the Mountain size, that thing is huge! read more

Love this pizza. Always hot and fresh ingredients. Never had a bad pizza from here and have been eating here for years. Love the proprietors too. read more

Good pizza but boy, be prepared to pay for it! Everything is so expensive these days and it makes it difficult to enjoy something as simple as pizza when you could probably get a nice steak dinner for a few bucks more. Great service and tasty pizza. read more

Lady sitting at register very very rude. Arrived at 6:06 for order and she was very rude. Don't think I will go back and I enjoy there pizza but don't appreciate this women's attitude read more

I don't usually write reviews for pizza chains, but it's been years since a substantial review has been written about this place, and this Mountain Mike's is quite exceptional. I've been here on several occasions, consider myself a regular, so this review is long overdue. THE SERVICE: The first time I came here, I was concerned because I'm a vegetarian and am always stuck with limited food options. Stephanie, the manager, personally took the time out to tell me about all the various options that I had, and wow, there were so many to pick from! Since then I have tried most of the toppings, and love their fresh artichoke hearts! In terms of the service, I've never had to wait more than 10-15 minutes for my pizza, even at the busy lunch hour! Very efficient! THE RESTAURANT/QUALITY OF FOOD: Since I come here on the regular, I have met and conversed with the super friendly owner, who told me that the pizza dough is made new daily. I asked her what's done with the left over ingredients for the salad bar at the end of the day, as I am veryyy particular about my salad, and she told me that it's never brought out the next day. They pride themselves here in their fresh ingredients, and honestly, it is apparent with the taste! FOOD RECOMMENDATIONS: My favorite pizza here is the Mt. Veggiemore with a white sauce and thin crust! I'm always coming back for more! THE CLEANLINESS: The tables are always wiped down and trash thrown out as soon as customers leave from what I have observed. The bathrooms, which is what I usually judge a restaurant by, are in pristine condition. THE LOCATION: This place is located in a plaza with ample parking and it's never been an issue. I found this particular Mountain Mikes to be very family friendly; there are several arcade games to keep the kids occupied if they finish their delicious pizza early on. I highly recommend this place! :) read more

This is a long overdue post, Mountain Mike's in Grass Valley is a place I come to often. Pizza is always fresh, the buffet is always fully stocked with tons of options, and the owners and staff are amazing and friendly! I even saw them give free change to a little kid who for some reason came to the counter asking for money so he could buy But the delicious pizza is what keeps me coming back. Try a white sauce pizza with extra pepperoni--you will not be disappointed! Each bite of pepperoni is so flavorful and the contrast with the white sauce makes it my favorite pie (for now). What makes Mountain Mike's 5 stars is the elite flavor you get from the toppings. For example, I usually don't like veggie pizzas but the Mt. Veggimore is such a fantastic explosion of flavors that I don't even need any meat on it and that's a first for me. I thought the overall cleanliness was also on par. All tables are wiped down before I sit down and the bathrooms were more than acceptable. I love the pizza, appreciate the staff, and will continue to come back. Highly recommended! read more

Mountain Mike's Pizza - Fully stocked and fresh salad bar! - Pizza Near Me - Grass Valley, California

Very good! So much better than the pizza place just down a few doors. Highly recommend.

Nice atmosphere and great customer service. Standard salad bar and pizza was actually really good (I got a Pike's peak), Really nice selection of beer on tap as well. The pizza quality has improved since I have been going here (over the last few years). The toppings are more generous and the crust was baked to a crispy goodness. The pepperoni at the edges if the pie were nice and crisp (not burned). It was baked perfectly. The service was quick and friendly. The dining room has held up and still looks good and well maintained. This restaurant gets an extra star upgrade because it's improved in the right areas. There is also a lot of new big screen HDTV flat screens around the place, so if you're interested in watching a big sporting event this is the place for it. The staff was pretty friendly and are always willing to correct any mistakes they may make, which is a good sign because no restaurant is going to run perfectly. Overall, I'd recommend this place to anyone wanting a local pizza place in the area. read more

Stopped in to pick up an order on April 7, 2020, of course, during the COVID-19 physical distancing time we're in. I had to wait for 15 minutes, most of which I spent outside. However, note what happened the times when I was inside! The cashier woman coughed 6 different times without covering her mouth, without wearing a mask. That dry cough had at least three cough, cough, cough each time she coughed. It was not a small cough but forceful, dry, lung-clearing attempts. Thankfully, I was wearing a mask. But, REALLY!? read more

The pizza is the best of all the food chains in town. The owner is friendly if you are lucky enough to have her take your order. Some of the other staff are not as friendly and helpful. I have noticed that over the years this place hasn't had a lot of foot traffic. People are definitely eating in or opting for an alternative gourmet or plant based pizza, gluten free, etc. I dislike the salad bar very much, it's just completely helpless and boring. I think they really need a makeover but I realize this is more difficult for chain restaurants since they must market specific products and adhere to a more rigid sales and marketing model. Really need to hire some energetic people who can help create a more comfortable atmosphere. read more
