Mountain Mike's Pizza - Herndon/First
If you're gonna order a pizza from Mountain Mike's, then this is the location you want to order from! The ingredients are fresher, the meat is better, and the service is outstanding! It's so good that because this location is outside of their delivery zone from my house, I will put my lazy bum in the car and drive there to pick up a pizza because I crave THEIR pizza! Come on, what does that say!?!
*Sidenote: Their sausage is DELISH and prior to their pizza I used to HATE combination pizza with sausage. It's SO good!
