Mountain Mike's Launches Texas-Shaped Lone Star Pizza
The chain's new pizza is shaped like the state and sold at all Texas locations, with proceeds from a separate November campaign supporting veterans.
Updated on Nov. 10, 2026 in Philanthropy
Mountain Mike's Pizza has launched the Lone Star Legend, a pizza shaped like the state of Texas, available at all of the chain's Texas locations. It uses the same dough, mozzarella cheese, and pepperoni as the chain's other pizzas.
Why it matters
The launch gives Texas diners a state-specific menu option from a chain with nearly 350 locations. Separately, the company is tying a November promotion to veteran support.
The heart-shaped pizza campaign pledges $1 per sale in November, following $10,000 donated in 2025, its first year. Mountain Mike's operates nearly 350 locations, but the extraction does not state how many Texas locations carry the Lone Star Legend or how much the November campaign is expected to raise.

Market Landscape
Restaurant chains have increasingly used per-unit donation promotions to link seasonal menu items to charities. Mountain Mike's applies that model with a recurring November campaign benefiting veterans, now in its second year.
Texas diners can order the Lone Star Legend at any Mountain Mike's location in the state. Customers who buy a heart-shaped pizza in November help fund the $1-per-sale donation to veteran housing.
The takeaway
Purchases tied to charitable promotions can direct small per-unit amounts toward specific causes. Readers who want to support veterans can check whether a local restaurant runs a similar donation campaign.
