Football season has officially returned and Mountain Mike's Pizza is helping fans create the perfect game-day meal with its new Mountain Fries.
Mountain Mike’s Pizza is a leading family-style pizza chain that's been in business for more than 40 years. And while the chain is best known for its Mountain-sized pizzas, now the chain is hoping to become a game-day destination for its fries. The newly released Mountain Fries consist of seasoned, crinkle-cute potato wedges that have been oven-baked to perfection. While great on their own, fans can also "Get ‘em loaded” with melted cheese, crunchy bacon bits, and fresh green onion on top. As Mountain Mike's Pizza's Vice President of Marketing Carol DeNembo explains, "Just in time for the start of football season and the baseball playoffs, our savory new Mountain Fries are bound to be the must-have add-on for sports fans."
