Mellow Mushroom

Eaten here multiple times and will be eating there again later today. I realize I always speak up when theres bad service but i dont say enough when there is great service. These guys always deliver on hospitality and delicious food.

I love the idea of Mellow Mushroom so much. I love the atmosphere. I love the beer selection. I love the range of toppings. I even love the pretzels. But I don’t love the pizza here. Some people do and I don’t blame them, because it’s not «bad» per se. It’s just really expensive for only decent pizza. I think they do so many things right here as far as ambiance, that when they deliver a very average tasting pizza, it’s a huge disappointment. For me, their dough is perfect for the pretzels, but tastes under seasoned as pizza dough. I have eaten at two different locations including this one, and the reason I eat here is to get vegan pizza when I have the $$ (I’m not vegan but I try, haha) and I’ll order their pretzels when I’m at Oak St. Drafthouse.

Honestly, it wasn’t terrible experience but I probably won’t go back. Our waitress was nice, although not very attentive after we ordered. Apparently it was trivia night, so the entire time we were there, trivia questions were being called out. It wasn’t too bad at first, but it’s kind of hard to have dinner conversation with someone on a microphone asking questions to what appeared to be only 2 or 3 tables in the entire restaurant participating. We ordered the pretzels as an appetizer and the mighty meat pizza. The pretzels were so disappointing. I felt like it was really misleading to call them pretzels, since it was the same dough used for the pizza, meaning they were just twisted bread sticks. Soft pretzels are supposed to have a hardened brown outside that is caused by boiling them before baking, and I was so excited at the prospect of housemade pretzels, but alas-​these were not. So if you want bread sticks these are good (albeit free at a lot of restaurants or cheap at other pizza places), but if you want pretzels then I wouldn’t consider these. The pizza wasn’t bad, but it was pretty skimpy on toppings, especially considering it was a meat lovers type of pizza and they charge extra for the meant. $ 20 for bread sticks (seriously, they’re overpriced breadsticks with dipping sauce) and a small pizza is a little steep to me. Honestly if I wanted to pay that much I could go to J&Js or crooked crust and at least there I could pay the same and get a drink.

Super friendly staff from the moment you enter until you leave. Our waitress, Megan was very attentive. The manager came by to check on us & other customers. He is very personable. The food is consistently great! We try different items each visit & are never disappointed.

I have been to MM many, many, many times across the country. Mostly at the request of friends. I, personally, would never request to go here.
The crust looks like it’s going to be amazing. It’s not. Overpriced pizza. I think people really come for the atmosphere.

Great atmosphere. Good drink selection. I love the layout of the restaurant. Love their cheesy bread. They have vegan and gluten free options. Always love the food when I am there, and yes it is more expensive than dominos or papa johns, but not by too much for better quality pizza.

Mellow mushroom is a fun restaurant with really good pizza, but pretty expensive.
The restaurant is nice and open with lots of fun decorations. There are a lot of comfortable booths and the bar is a fun place to sit. The kitchen is open so you can see the dough being thrown up into the air. There are lots of tvs if you want to watch a game. The booths are really deep so if you are in a date you kinda kinda escape all the other distractions.
The servers are always very friendly and helpful. They do a great job checking on you and getting everything you need.
The menu has a very large selection. They have multiple types of appetizers, pizzas, salads, and sandwiches. I have heard the the pretzels are really good, but always stick with just pizza. They have a large selection of pizzas that sound great.
Now the main reason that we eat here, they have vegan cheese and crust. For a small extra fee you can get vegan cheese on any pizza. We always get the veggie pizza with the vegan cheese and it’s delicious. They overload veggies, including broccoli, my favorite on pizza. The crust is nice and soft and tastes homemade. The pizza is really really good.
The only negative about this place is that it’s s little expensive. Would eat here a lot more if it was little cheaper, but makes for a special pizza outing. If you are vegan you should definitely check it out

Overall, going to Mellow Mushroom is a positive experience. The food is tasty, there are plenty of menu options to meet the needs of everyone, and they are always happy to make adjustments if you ask them.
However it is very pricey, and therefore not ideal for the average family to enjoy very often. Parking can be a bit of a challenge in the evenings, but if you get it to go then you can park on the street behind the restaurant and just cut through the alley to pick it up.
All in all — it’s a positive experience. Great ambience, generally friendly staff, and tasty food.

I was really surprised by how much I enjoyed Mellow Mushroom. The place has so much charm though, it’s hard to not be enamored with the entire experience.
The place had a mural on the outside wall featuring slices of pizza. What’s not to love?
Once we were seated (very quickly) we started looking over the menu it was almost overwhelming with all the enticing choices. I ended up going with a chicken curry pizza that was very delicious. I would definitely like to try this place again.
Also, if you go, be sure to try the spinach salad. Very tasty!

It was nothing short of fantastic! We came in on a Friday night and was seated right away. Our server was very nice and attentive. We prepared ourselves for a long wait on the food but it was quick. We ordered the spinach and artichoke dip and it was devine. Then we ordered the House Pizza which was equally delicious. The Manager stopped by twice and asked about our experience. The overall experience was awesome! Thank you Mellow Mushroom for such a pleasant evening.

If ever there was a hipster pizza joint, this is it. Beautiful, colorful décor. Great seating — booths, bar, and table areas. Plenty of beers to choose from. El Chingon (Dallas area brewery) is superb. The Mediterranean Pizza took a «long» time to prep, but it was worth the wait.
I plan to come back; again and again and again.

Love it. Possibly the best happy hour in town with all cocktails appetizers and beers under 7%abv for half the price. Not to mention a huge craft beer selection with plenty of seasonal rotators. Not a turn and burn operation. Service is great, food is very fresh, and they take the time to do it right. Great atmosphere to bring the family sit down and relax. Not your run of the mill pizza place. Specialty is key. Don’t expect to be wowed by the pepperoni. Go for the Thai dye, the holy shiitake, or the philosophers pie. Pies like this are where they really shine. If you want something more traditional this is not the place for you. Try j&js on the square if that’s what you want.
All in all if you want cheap and fast, go to cicis.

Came in to eat with a group. Waitress was nice and got us a table quickly and then things turned horrible. We waited a very long time for our cold food– pizza, calzones and sandwiches. One order was wrong so they re-​ordered and it came out wrong as well. The kitchen staff was in full view and they seemed to be more concerned with wild antics than cooking. A member of our group went to the kitchen area to ask about the correction order and the cook started arguing with him and became very agitated. Manager ended up comping our meal.

Food is very good.
Disappointed in the portion of spinach artichoke dip you get for $ 8. Small tub with a ton of bread. Stingy!
Fun atmosphere.
A bit pricey unfortunately not a place you can visit often with a larger family.

Service was a little slow but the food was AMAZING! Will be back. Food is all authentic and not store bought the environment is nice as well with a great selection of beer. Recommend getting the pizzas.

Having moved all over the country, I’ve known Mellow Mushroom for years and was pretty excited when they came to the area. It’s quite an eclectic offering in the pizza category. They offer gluten free crusts as well as vegan crusts. I had a calzone with pepperoni and it was delicious. My mom got the stuffed portabello and almost licked the plate clean. The place is nice, the service was good. The parking on the street is all back-​in parking only or the police write $ 50 tickets. I hope Denton quits this but it has nothing to do with Mellow Mushroom.

They have a great variety of food, not only pizzas. The service was great and our server was very friendly. Pizzas are big, 10′ is a decent size for two people. Great restaurant if you’re on the square!

I love it here! Good smell, good food, good interior. Nuff said, this is the best pizza place I ve ever been to. I fell in love with their Thai Dye from the first time ever. Try it if you have any Asian sense interest!
Service depends tho. Most of them are great, but not all :)

2 pizzas, 2 appetizers, 4 soft drinks + 15% tip, came to $ 80.
Far too expensive for average pizza.

Simply Incredible! I ordered the house Special as a Calzone and am amazed! The marinara alone is worth visiting Mello Mushroom. A large selection of craft beer bottled beer, and standard bar drinks as well.
The Calzone arrived hot, crispy, tender, juicy and very flavorful. So impressed with the quality of this food. Will definitely be coming back to Denton if not just for Mello Mushroom.
