Mountain Mike’s Pizza opens second McKinney location in Eldorado Shops
Mountain Mike’s Pizza has opened a second McKinney shop in Eldorado Neighborhood Shops, a sign the Eldorado Parkway corridor can support more family dining.
Mountain Mike’s Pizza has doubled down on McKinney with a second location at Eldorado Neighborhood Shops, a move that points to how strongly family-oriented chains now view the Eldorado Parkway corridor in a fast-growing part of Collin County.
The new restaurant opened at 8251 Eldorado Parkway, Suite 100, after the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation listed a privately funded renovation and alteration project for Mountain Mike’s Pizza McKinney. The filing showed a registration date of Oct. 21, 2025, a construction start of Jan. 12, 2026, and completion on April 6, 2026, with an estimated cost of $600,000.
The McKinney opening is Mountain Mike’s second in the city and its 14th in Texas. The company’s first McKinney restaurant opened in 2025 at 4590 W. University Drive, and the brand marked that location with a grand opening event on Nov. 1, 2025. Together, the two stores give the chain two footholds in one of Collin County’s most active retail markets.
The new shop is about 2,600 square feet and is built around the same casual, all-ages formula Mountain Mike’s has used as it expands across Texas. Inside are eight big-screen televisions, a weekday lunch buffet, domestic and craft beer on tap, wine, a kids’ arcade area, complimentary Wi-Fi and a 300-square-foot patio. The restaurant is set up for dine-in, carryout and delivery, and is intended to host team parties, family get-togethers, office gatherings and fundraising events.
The McKinney stores are locally owned and operated by the Zeigler family, Steve, Kelly and Adam, who also run Mountain Mike’s locations in Lewisville and Melissa. Steve Zeigler said his family has called McKinney home for nearly 30 years, making the second opening especially meaningful in a city where chains are still betting on more household growth and steady evening traffic from nearby neighborhoods.
Mountain Mike’s was founded in California in 1978 and now says it has nearly 300 locations across 10 states. The chain is known for 20-inch Mountain-sized pizzas, fresh daily dough and crispy curly pepperoni, a formula that appears built for repeat family visits in retail centers that can still absorb another sit-down option.
