Mellow Mushroom

Mellow Mushroom seems to excel in food quality, atmosphere and service by providing increased attention to everything you look for in a pizza place. However what sets it apart from your typical pizza place is how they seem to do everything better. The food is always delicious. Especially at this location. The service is friendly and attentive. Our server Matt catered to our every need even though we have a laid back personality with restaurants. The atmosphere is perfect to set you in the mood for a good pie. Having my wife and I both have been servers for a long time we judge restaurants hard on these three aspects. For pizza, Mellow mushrooms is a 5 star experience in my book however having recently gone gluten free I tried their gluten free pizza for the first time. Where it does certainly give the pizza experience. For $ 20 and only being a 12′ pizza the crust doesn’t live up to some other gluten free crusts you can find other places. It tends to get soggy quite quickly. This is the main downside to gluten free crusts however there are places that have done a better job and I think it’s mainly to them just being gluten free instead of being vegan also. Overall if you are looking for a good pizza Mellow Mushroom is without a doubt where you need to be. You’ll enjoy yourself and enjoy the service. Cheers.

Joey is the BEST server!
We were passing through and stopped in to have dinner with our family.
He took time to make sure all of us had what we needed.
Even making sure my daughters milk chocolate tastes better after we sent the first one away.
No. He sat there and waited for her to open the little carton and take a sip before leaving.
He made sure we all had utensils.
He always made sure plates got removed immediately.
Glasses were always full.
A lot of time awesome service makes long waits and good food even better…
He is GREAT.
Ask for him!!!
Oh and the food was good too!!!

Very quick service, good food, great atmosphere!!! Very good beer selection on tap and if they don’t have it there, a full bar has whatever else you may need!

clean fast fresh and family friendly. The music is on but not too loud not for tv watching which is nice, very clean and bathrooms were very clean. I can’t stand a place with dirty b-​rooms. Pizza a not cheap but worth it

Mellow Mushroom is great, the host was a little too snobby for me when I asked to be seated where I could watch a football game. Other than that the waiter was great and food was excellent as always.

Out of all the mellow mushroom locations I’ve been to, this is my second favorite one (Sandy Springs #1). We’ve visited here 3 times now, and two of my favorite things are the outdoor seating and lots of seats at the bar area. It is also a little more cleaner than most I’ve been too.
We came on a Sunday for our last visit and it was slam packed with families! Hot spot for kids so be prepared! We sat at the bar and had great service. I ordered my usual, cheese pizza (LOVE their pizza) and a beer (Newcastle on draft, poured in a Newcastle glass), and my honey ordered a salad and pretzel dippers. Pizza was great as always. My honey didn’t like her side salad but I thought the candied pecans in it were amazing. The apples, however, were not that crisp.
Bar is fully stocked and they have a decent selection of draft beers. The price is always right and you can’t go wrong with getting any of their pizzas. Love the seasoned crust! I know mellow is a chain but I’ve loved their pizza since high school (18+ years strong).
Worth a stop if you’ve got kids too. They also have kids coloring books, and mints for when you leave.

I had the pleasure of visiting this Mellow Mushroom location whilst on a business trip to Alpharetta and visiting friends in Canton, GA. My friends, their family, and I dined there for supper after visiting several shops in the nearby mall.
This restaurant has happy, pleasant, servers that made the experience fun even though they were a touch forgetful at times. The food is delicious and this eatery has a fun, welcoming, family friendly atmosphere.
I will definitely be eating there again if ever I am allowed the opportunity and will be taking the wife there for supper when next she next accompanies me. I heartily recommend this restaurant — especially for fun meal out with family and friends.

We never actually got seated. We asked for a chair. It was NOT made clear that there are 4 tables in the entire place that accommodates a high chair. Had this been made clear up front I could have made a better choice. Very poor communication and service!

Bad service and the print on the menus is so small it’s impossible to read. Clearly catering to a younger than 30 demographic, being over 40 we will choose another place to eat.

Best bloody Mary’s in town. Also superb service and very clean. 5 stars from this gal

I love pizza and I love Mellow Mushroom, they’re pizza is different but excellent! So if you like trying something knew, you might like it

My all time fav pizza. Took my mom for the first time and she loved the SHitake mushroom pizza and the spicy shrimp app. My son loves the blue bayou — shrimp, blue cheese and sausage and I like a white or other specialty.
Great salads, good service and outdoor seating. First time to this location but will be back.

The service here is always great, I’ve never had a bad server. Mellow Mushroom is one of my favorite pizza joints and their salads are amazing too. My only issue with this particular restaurant is trivia and bingo night. The speakers outside are always turned up way too loud, it’s very difficult to have a conversation or even order your food. I do love trivia, but not at that volume!

Everything’s just average… food service atmosphere. I like mellow mushroom but this is just an average MM

They have great pizza and lots of other options. They are a little expensive but delicious. I’m wish they had a light appetizer option

Yesterday marked 40 years Mellow Mushroom was established. My coworker said let me treat you to lunch. .Sure! Little did I know they were in the middle of a celebration with awesome special! They were slammed! We sat back and watched how this restaurant was so busy and the staff was truly on their game! We sat at the bar, the bartender was a one woman show. Taking order’s, drinks and answering the phone great job Emily! Every one working hard together so effortlessly! Even met the General Manager Steve when he came behind the bar to give Emily a hand! Real team work, excellent experience!!!

A pizza place on a Saturday night? Sure, I’ll wait 45 minutes. Wait — 3 spots at the bar? Jackpot!
I don’t think I want to go back without sitting at the bar. I wish I knew the name of our bartender. He was INSANELY good! That man was handling restaurant orders, bar orders, running back and forth to replace empties and still managed to be kind and engaged with his guests.
Excellent selection of beers on tap and bottled beers. Huge selection of pies and additional items. If you’ve read my reviews, you know I’m a salad girl. This joint didn’t let me down. They even have an option to make your own salad in design-​your-​own-​pie fashion. Choose your base, add your toppings, enjoy. I went with a caesar topped with grilled chicken. Fresh veggies, moist chicken and actual shaved parmesan. Love!
They’ve got tasty pizza too. The hand-​tossed crust is perfectly chewy and the toppings are balanced well with sauce and cheese. Gotta respect that they also have gluten-​free options.
Don’t go in during the rush and expect to hear your fellow diners, though. It’s a loud, hoppin joint!

Mellow Mushroom is a consistently good pizza place. I have never had a bad experience at one. This particular location is fairly steady every time I come and yet always have timely and fairly attentive service. I had a particularly good experience tonight with server Ashley. She was on point and very attentive. Food was excellent and they even worked with us on splitting the pie for some picky eaters.

I may be a bit generous with this place but I’d happily rate it a 3.5 star or 4 star just in comparison to other Mellow Mushrooms in the vicinity. I’ll confess, I’m not really rating the restaurant as the chain but just this particular restaurant. I’ve gone to a different Mellow Mushroom basically my entire life and loved the pizza but really disliked the service and size.
This one, perhaps because it’s located in an upscale-​ish, outdoor shopping mall it’s cleaned up and put on a suit. I went here on a Monday afternoon though so I wouldn’t know about the noise level during dinner time (but I assume it’s pretty loud) which seems to get the most complaints but here’s a tip: if you’re looking for a quiet restaurant to enjoy a meal try not to pick a family restaurant. Steer clear from pizza, burger, and just in general continental restaurants and spent the extra money for ambiance.
But I’m getting away from myself. This place had a relatively decent selection of beers which was a great surprise since the one by my house only has a few on draft, the only craft beer being Sweetwater. It had smaller brewers such as Founder’s and Bell’s which made my heart happy for the hope of craft brewing.
All in all, it was a really nice find located in a good place. I go to the AMC in The Collection really often and will definitely be coming back. Now for the people who aren’t from the Southeast I will tell you Mellow Mushroom is expensive for pizza but they have a variety of pizza. People will turn their noses up and go… What’s the big deal? It’s just pizza, but I take it as it were similar to California Pizza Kitchen. They explore with their pies putting on different ingredients and it can be hit or miss. But their ingredients are fresh, and the pizza is better quality and more unique than other chains such as Pizza Hut. If you’re looking to penny pinch or just for a quick cheap stop while traveling you may want to look elsewhere. But if you’re meeting friends for pizza and beer? I’d rather shell out a few extra bucks for good food and good company

OK. You have kids or are forced to be in the company of kids. This means you have to eat at Mellow Mushroom. Fortunately, the pizza here is pretty darn good.
The pretzels have a nice, doughy texture akin to a softer Auntie Anne’s. I liked them.
When it comes to pizza, basic is better. The Kosmic Karma is a standard red sauce pizza with a swirl of pesto, Mozzarella, Sun Dried Tomatoes, Spinach, Feta, and Roma Tomatoes. The crust has a slight sweetness from the sauce and the cheese flavors melting into it. It is very good. I stuffed myself stupid on this pizza.
By contrast, the Philosopher’s pie did not impress me as much. It is an olive oil/​garlic based pizza with steak, mushrooms, and some other stuff on it. I found that it was a little too heavy on the olives and had a «dryness» to it that I wasn’t much of a fan of.
