Mountain Mike's Pizza quietly flipped on the open sign on Wednesday in Manor, instantly giving the eastern edge of Greater Austin a new go-to for family-style pies and game-day crowds. Sitting right off the U.S. 290 corridor, the spot comes loaded with a buffet line, a kids' arcade, and plenty of big-screen TVs for anyone who treats sports like a second religion.
The Manor restaurant is the chain's first Central Texas outpost and its 13th location in Texas. It is owned and operated by local franchisee Rajeev Dewan, who plans to open multiple additional Mountain Mike's across the Austin area, according to RestaurantNews.com. Dewan said, "Our goal is to build a loyal following throughout the greater Austin area," framing the Manor shop as part of the brand's broader push to grow its Texas footprint.
What The Manor Location Offers
According to Mountain Mike's Pizza, the new Manor location leans into the family-and-friends vibe. The amenities list includes a kids' arcade, buffet service for anyone who likes to stack slices, patio seating, craft and domestic beers on tap, free Wi‑Fi, and multiple big-screen TVs. The store page also provides the restaurant's hours and the local phone number for carryout orders and group bookings.
From Permit To Opening
Behind the scenes, the restaurant has been in the works for a while. Permit filings and pre-opening reports show the Manor buildout moving through last year, with a tenant finish-out pegged at roughly $500,000 and a construction schedule that originally targeted completion in November 2025, according to What Now. That earlier projected timeline helps explain why local developers and retail-watchers had been eyeing the site for months before this week's debut.
Mountain Mike's On The Move
Mountain Mike's traces its roots back to 1978 and now operates nearly 330 locations nationwide, the company says, a growth streak that includes a steady push into the Lone Star State. The Manor's debut joins recent Texas openings in Cypress and Fort Worth as the brand works to become a bigger presence in Texas suburbs, according to RestaurantNews.com.
Hiring And Local Jobs
Staffing up is already underway. The Manor restaurant is hiring for lunch and evening shifts, with job listings for Mountain Mike's showing up on regional job boards and company hiring pages, according to Indeed. New franchise locations typically bring in several dozen part-time positions, which can turn into steady work for students and local service industry workers.
What To Know Before You Go
The Manor Mountain Mike's will accept dine-in reservations for group events, along with carryout orders and app-based rewards orders. Delivery will be handled through third-party partners.
