Mountain Mike's Pizza returns as the San Francisco 49ers' official pizza partner for a ninth season. The 2026 sponsorship includes a sweepstakes that drew 30,000 entries last year and a win-based discount program.
Mountain Mike's Pizza will return for a ninth consecutive season as the San Francisco 49ers' official pizza partner, the chain announced Monday. The 2026 sponsorship includes the return of two consumer campaigns that drove traffic last year: the Legendary Game Day Experience sweepstakes and the When the 49ers Win, You Win promotion.
The Legendary Game Day Experience drew more than 30,000 entries in 2025. This season, two Mountain Rewards members will win club seat tickets to the Week 14 home game against the Los Angeles Rams, plus field passes, custom jerseys and VIP access to the halftime concert. Winners also get free pizza for a year from Mountain Mike's. Entries close Nov. 29.
The win promotion works differently. After every 49ers preseason or regular-season victory, Mountain Rewards members can buy a large pizza at 49% off through the chain's app. The discount is available the Tuesday or Wednesday following the win. For weekday games, the chain is also offering a limited-time bundle: a large one-topping pizza and two premium items for $29, available Monday through Thursday.
Mountain Mike's operates nearly 350 locations across 16 states, with 20 more franchised stores expected to open this year. The San Francisco Bay Area is one of its most saturated markets – the chain was founded there in 1978 – which makes the 49ers partnership a natural fit, CEO Jim Metevier said in a statement.
"Being the Official Pizza of the 49ers for nearly a decade has deepened our commitment to uniting families, friends and fans through delicious pizza and unforgettable game day moments," Metevier said.
The chain also maintains sponsorships with the Los Angeles Angels and the NBA's Sacramento Kings.
Beyond the promotions, Mountain Mike's plans to continue participating in 49ers-led community events across the Bay Area. Last season, those included a Boys & Girls Club player volunteer day, a high school girls flag football jamboree and a flag football season kickoff pizza party. Kevin Hilton, the 49ers' vice president of corporate partnerships, said the team is "proud to continue the traditions our partnership with Mountain Mike's has delivered to the 49er Faithful."
Mountain Mike's was named one of America's Favorite Restaurant Chains by Newsweek this year and appeared on Yelp's Most Loved Restaurant Brands list. The chain's menu features its signature crispy, curly pepperoni, 20-inch Mountain-sized pizzas and fresh-made dough.
