Mellow Mushroom

Pizza. Oh how I love thee. Let me count the ways. I decided to take my mom and sister out to eat and they chose this place. First, they need to get their doors fixed. They are terrible. Second, we had to wait for some minutes because our waitress didn’t know she had us. *looks into the camera like on the show The Office* The pizza was great. My sister had a calzone and my mom had the House Special pizza. I had the Funky Q Chicken. As a bonus the cooks cooked an extra pizza and I got it. Forget the terrible doors. Extra pizza, bruh. Mellow Mushroom, you’re a winner.

As always the food was incredible! I try and change up what I order each time and they can’t seem to make a meal I won’t eat. Great selection on the menu and its environment is children friendly.

Delicious gluten free white pizza with pesto sauce instead of olive oil and garlic… oh, and minus the tomatoes! It was so delicious! I never feel as if I’m going to get sick from cross contamination of gluten or wheat products!

The meatball trio was delicious. The Greek salad was very fresh and had lots of topping. Server was friendly and attentive.

Love supporting local food choices. Staff is always friendly and food is always fresh. Maui Waui is the best! Also, drunken fun guys!

This place is my jam. I’ve been to a few in multiple cities, and this one lives up to the hype. Great beer selection. Great pizza. Usually quick service. My favorite location is in Nashville, but this is a close second. My only gripe is that they tend to not have any time between serving appetizers and entrees. Otherwise killer pizza!

Bekah served myself and a friend of mine and introduced us to their beer club! Great pizza and a great beer selection — I think this might be my new spot!

Very bad service from the bartender, won’t be back due to my last experience. Good experience at location in Destin.

I’ve been to the mellow mushroom a few times now, and it’s always been a great experience.
The Germantown location is a hidden gem and the staff has been awesome every time.
I love their selection of pizza, wings, hoagies and (of course) their beer.

Lunch at the Mellow Mushroom is always a treat. Had the medium House pizza, served by Robby who made us feel very special. Sodas were filled promptly and he kept letting us know the progress of our pizza. First time having this particular pizza and it did not disappoint. Normally, at other places, a pizza crust is so hard I can’t eat, but at the Mellow Mushroom the crust is always good to the last bite. I can’t wait to go again.

This place always has really good pizza and pleasant service. Yes, it is a chain, but the quality is so much better than the other large pizza conglomerates! I had the gluten free white pizza and it was so delicious! If I’m going to eat pizza (rarely), then this is my go-​to place. They also carry local brews, and you can do a beer flight if you’re interested. Plus, a big bonus, they are one of the few restaurants that have a large outdoor seating area. I love eating outside when the weather is nice!

There are multiple locations, and found the one on popular and whitestation to be the best experience. Wait wise.
This location you can expect to wait at least 45min.
The food are the same great Taste.
Little pricy.

Always excellent service and quality food. Steve the owner is always making sure you have the best experience possible. Great servers! They have a beer club. The salads are amazing due to the super fresh toppings.
The gluten free crust is delicious.

This is the first time I have been to the Mellow Mushroom. I went on a Saturday afternoon and they were pretty busy and had a 20 – 25 minute wait to sit inside. The weather was nice so we decided to sit outside since it was empty. There patio sitting is really nice. I loved their decorative tree, its too cute. After we choose our seats, our waiter came along with some water. He was really nice and pretty helpful. To start we ordered the Meatball Trio. I thought they were just okay, nothing special or memorable about them. For entrees I ordered the house calzone and my sister ordered a cheese pizza with green and black olives. I thought the calzone was also just okay. It tasted good however it was very soggy as though it wasn’t cooked all the way. Usually all the calzones i’ve eaten are formed better and are pretty crispy. However, on a positive note my sister really liked her pizza. Overall, for me this place was just okay. I’ve had better food at other places but I will admit that the customer service was on point.

I’m really fond of eating/​drinking here. I’ve been to both the Germantown branch and the Poplar branch. I prefer the crowd in Germantown (a lot less kids and much more older people). Both places have awesome décor though!
For starters, the food is amazing! Their pizzas are delicious. My favorites are the Kosmic Karma, Holy Shiitake Pie, and the Magical Mystery Tour. Oh so very good! There’s something about their crust that I absolutely LOVE. If you’re not a fan of pizza, I also highly recommend their salads. Pretty big portions whether you go for the regular salad or the small salad. They also have a pretty good selection of beers on tap. So all in all, really good place to eat.
The service is a little iffy sometimes. The poplar branch usually has a horrendous wait time in the evenings just to be seated. Super loud and crowded with families. So it takes the servers a while to get to you, and it takes a while for you to get your order. It’s not as bad in Germantown, but it still gets crowded, so the servers are often a little absent-​minded and in a hurry to take your order and leave. They also don’t check on you that often because they’re swamped!
The manger in the Germantown branch is super nice and attentive. He always comes by and asks if everything is okay or if we need anything. So that’s pretty cool.
One thing to consider about Mellow Mushroom is that it is quite pricy! I’m talking at least 20 $ for a medium pizza. About 13 $ for small. So this is not a place that you can frequent often without putting a dent in your budget.
So when do I come here you ask?! On Mondays! Why? For their awesome trivia of course! Highly recommend coming here just for that! So. Much. Fun. And incredibly unique with fun prizes throughout. And the guy running it is hilarious. So definitely pop by at some point for that! It’s great for groups so bring friends because it will increase your chances of winning.

I don’t think I’ve ever had a bad experience at any of the Mellow Mushrooms in Memphis, I’ll say.
This particular location on Poplar has been wonderful in that, I have ordered catering for our entire office here twice (so far). Both times were VERY simple, the manager Chase being very dependable and helpful (and understanding when I needed to reschedule), and the man who delivered both times was so energetic and kind (his name was Carey, or Cary?)
Mellow Mushroom has gotten their catering down to a science and literally bring everything you need, no mistakes or forgotten items. I have ordered significantly smaller orders from other local restaurants to be brought in for lunch meetings, and have had to run back out to get forgotten things or correct food. So, when someone get’s it right– it’s nice. I always suggest MM as a first choice when getting catering for office celebrations, everyone loves it. The big salads are delicious and perfectly green loaded with toppings (and came with several different dressings). and as always, the pizzas were perfect.
Thank you guys for your hard work in not only walk-​in customers, but catering as well. We appreciate it and already look forward to the next time we get to bring MM in the office!

This is the best pizza you can get outside of New York. Period. And I liked this location. Very spacious; the only thing was the bar was tiny for a very loyal crowd! And why? Because according to some kids’ drawings on the wall behind the bar Heather is the Bestest! And, having been served by her, I agree. Wish I’d been in town longer. Great selection of beers and custom pies. My favorite is the bayou bleu. But it’s all good. Whenever I travel to the southeast, I’m always looking for a Mellow!

Great place for kids because it is super loud. Service has been efficient if not especially friendly with the exception of the manager (owner?)…he is super involved and super friendly. I just wish I liked the food better.
The Greek Salad was a really loose interpretation… it included greens, onions, cucumbers, feta, Kalamata olives, tomatoes, … and green peppers + mushrooms + pepperoncini + banana peppers + carrots + red cabbage (really??). They accompany it with a thick, sweet balsamic dressing… hmm. I’ll say one thing for it… there was a lot of it and it was nice and fresh.
I love mushroom soups in general, but each time I have succumbed to temptation here, it has been inedibly salty. It is too bad because it is otherwise thick, rich, and creamy with lots of tasty shrooms.
As far as the pizzas, I tend to like thin, crispy NY-​style crusts… theirs is just too thick and bready for my taste. But this is purely a matter of personal taste.
We’ll probably be back because of the little one… I’ll just have to order more selectively.

Hot damn, this place is expensive. $ 20 for a gluten free 12″ pizza? That’s one kid, who wants lobster? Truthfully it is expensive and gluten free is always more expensive, but this is the best gluten free pizza crust I’ve ever eaten!
Honestly, this is just a nicer pizza joint in the area, and they have good solid food and pretty good service. It is kid-​friendly, but that doesn’t mean you should let your kids run around like it’s Lord of the Flies. Keep them in their seats, please, at every restaurant.
I recommend the Holy SHiitake, which is loaded with mushrooms, truffle oil, and great cheeses. They have a nice beer selection which will help the lunch along.
Were I younger, I’d come for trivia night, because, by the names of the winners, it sounds like a fun bunch.

I fully did not intend to write a review going in there, however the experience is forcing me to.
I walked in about 8 or 830 on a Sunday night. There were about 25 people there. They sat me right away in the bar at a table with a great view of 2 TV’s that had the football game on.
I was greeted quickly by the bartender. Her name was Becka. I was referred here by a friend and had no idea what they offered so Becka quickly gave me a rundown of the goods.
I had a coke to drink although they had about 15 beers on tap. I ordered the meatball appetizer by Becka’s recommendation. She put that in and came back to check on my order. They have a ton of different pizzas… and being a guy from Chicago. .I know about some pizzza! She said I could do half and half which quickly made up my mind. I went for the gourmet white and Maui Wowie… halfsies. Now, I think Maui Wowie is a type of weed that is grown in Hawaii… and I wouldn’t know anything about that… however, this pizza that bares the same name is no freaking joke.
The meatballs came out on a plate with nice presentation. 3 huge meatballs sliced in half with a chunk of fresh mozzarella in between and held together with skewers. The 3 skewers rested on a bed of marinara sauce. The result? An appetizer that got destroyed in 5 minutes or less. They are outstanding.
The pizza came out and all I could do was look at it. It was amazing. Caribbean jerk chicken chunks, strip of peppered bacon, chunks of slightly mashed pineapple, shaved ham, and banana peppers all thrown over a spa of vinegar and oil. If you are lucky enough to get a bite with all of the ingredients… it is an absolute explosion of taste.
The gourmet white was good… but the Maui Wowie was sooooooo good that I don’t even remember anything specific about it.
Becka refilled my drink when I reached the halfway point as the Maui pizza has some kick to it but not enough to make you run home to Mommy. I took 4 of the 8 pieces home (2 of each) and paid the bill.
Becka was awesome. She was friendly, informing and entertaining (she sang all of the Christmas songs that were playing).
Environment was cool. They have a bunch of stuff that keeps your eyes entertained, such as 7 different kinds of bar stools, which gives the place some flavor.
Food was out of this world.
