Mofos Pizza will expand its footprint by opening a new restaurant at 444 E. William St. in Carson City, replacing the former Big Chicken location. The new establishment is slated to begin operations in late November or early December 2026.
Why it matters
The expansion signals a sustained growth phase for the family-run business, which has operated in Nevada since its 1986 debut in Incline Village. For local operators, the move highlights the ongoing turnover of commercial real estate space in Carson City’s retail corridors.
The upcoming restaurant will employ 25 to 30 staff members, marking a significant expansion for a brand that previously grew from Incline Village in 1986 to Reno in 2021. The new site will maintain daily operations from 11 a.m. to 8:30 p.m. seven days a week.
