Mountain Mike's Pizza, Santa Clara

From the humble beginnings of a single, small pizzeria in Palo Alto back in 1978, Mountain Mike's Pizza mushroomed into more than 150 locations across California, Oregon, Nevada, and Utah. Today, each restaurant courts a low-key, family friendly vibe. As for eats, the pizzeria serves up a rousing menu of pies such as Everest, a mountain of pepperoni, Italian sausage, salami, beef, mushrooms, black olives, peppers, and onions. Even a simple pepperoni pizza can be tough to handle in one sitting, as many locations boast tossing more than 100 slices onto a single large pie.
