Menlo Park: Mountain Mike's Pizza takes over former Applewood space

Uploaded: Feb 8, 2019
The space that was for decades home to Applewood Pizza in Menlo Park will soon serve pizza again.

A franchisee for Mountain Mike's Pizza is opening an outpost at the 1001 El Camino Real site, according to Samantha Wilson of Powerhouse Communications, which handles media for Mountain Mike's. This will be the third location for Janet Moscini and her son Brian, who own Mountain Mike's franchises in Campbell and San Carlos.

They're planning a "full remodel" of the 5,200-square-foot space, Wilson said. The restaurant will serve the same menu as other Mountain Mike's: specialty, create-your-own and gluten-free pizzas, plus sandwiches.

The Moscinis are aiming for a late summer opening, Wilson said.

Applewood closed in early 2019, much to the dismay of many longtime customers.

Uhh. Not a fan. In the category of.low price point pizza, there are better choices.

And a slew of much better pizza options available once you leave chain pizza behind.

"is fantastic"

Wow. Disagree 100%. Okay for the price. Last couple times I was in an MM, it was a pig-sty. At least with a remodel, it'll be clean for awhile.

Rather support the historic Round Table if I'm going 'low-end', or Avanti. Better yet, hustle up to Toto's in Belmont.

If you want dominos, you better eat it now. They are closing all Bay Area locations soon.

Mountain Mike's does offer a great value, especially for families, without a lot of fake ambiance. Good selection of beers. Hope they do well, although Menlo Park isn't where I'd open a "family"restaurant. Jus' sayin' ..
