Mountain Mike’s Pizza opens in Murphy, Texas, its 16th Lone Star State location, run by franchisees who already operate the Fulshear store.
Mountain Mike’s Pizza opened a new restaurant in Murphy, Texas, its 16th location in the state, the company said Tuesday.
The 2,500-square-foot store at 511 E. FM 544 is run by franchisees Timothy Fogarty and Vanessa Lomelí-Fogarty, a husband-and-wife team who already operate the Fulshear location and are developing additional Texas sites. The Murphy restaurant has eight big-screen televisions, an all-you-can-eat pizza and salad bar, a weekday lunch buffet, an outdoor patio, a kids’ arcade area and free Wi-Fi.
The chain, founded in 1978 and based in Irvine, California, operates roughly 330 locations. This year, Newsweek named it one of America’s Favorite Restaurant Chains, and Yelp listed it among the Most Loved Restaurant Brands.
“Mountain Mike’s has been part of our family’s story for years, so opening this restaurant is especially meaningful to us,” Timothy Fogarty said. “I grew up enjoying Mountain Mike’s, and over the years it’s become a favorite tradition in our own home.”
The Murphy restaurant is open Sunday through Thursday from 10 a.m. to 11 p.m. and Friday through Saturday from 10 a.m. to midnight.
