Mellow Mushroom

Stopped here and ordered house special. Crust was so hard they should have included a saw to cut it. Won’t come back.

Mellow mushroom is awesome! Love their crust and pizza is loaded with toppings! Had the bruschetta too which is both pretty and tasty!

Poor service and disappointing pizza– after telling the host we were there to pick up a take out order and being told to sit down, we waited for ten minutes with our order on the counter the whole time while no fewer than 4 employees touched it and read the slip before we finally had to go up and ask if it was ready. Got sent to three different people to ring us up, and when we finally got home with our no longer warm pizza found that extra cheese means almost no cheese and a ring of three inch crust around the pie. Bummer.

Good restaurant. We typically go with our kids and with friends with kids, and the staff has always been very nice and patient. The calzones are amazing — good size too — I like to cut mine in half so I have lunch the next day as well.

Not my favorite. Very generic and poor service. Served me a Bells Two Hearted in a small glass and charged full price $ 6…that’s crazy!

This is our second and last visit to this MM location. The service is ridiculously slow. My muffuletta bread order was lost by the kitchen and my family waited 50 minutes for a medium pizza. The waiter apologized, adding that the kitchen was «swamped.» Ummm, the place is half full. I can’t even imagine a busy night. Save your self the drama and go to Boom Bozz!

Late Pizza run after the horse racing
Quick seating Greek salads were good and came fast. Pizzas came shortly after the shiitake mushroom pizza was excellent great flavor perfectly cooked quite delicious. The combination Pizza was not so lucky. The toppings were delicious but the crust was burnt black on the bottom and you could not get past the flavor of burnt flour. Manager notified and quickly agreed it wasn’t right and removed it from our check. If the combo had been baked correctly it would have made a terrific pizza double! The leftover shiitake made a great breakfast too!

Over priced food and drinks money would be better spent at Pizza Hut. Snobby ass service and felt rush out of their. This place but the big one

The food was very good other than them burning the whole bottom of each pizza they made for me and my friends. They burnt the pizza bottoms so bad that my friends and I didn’t want to eat the food but tried to tough it out because of the price I had to pay for the food itself. The wall art was unique, interesting, and entertaining to be honest. One of the characters on the wall looked a little like Justin Timberlake and my ex boyfriend.

Bummed about our lackluster visit. We invited my parents, brothers and sister-​in-​law to join my family of four. It was their first experience at any Mellow Mushrooms. On the plus side my husband and called ahead and a table for 10 was waiting for us, but the rest of the evening was disappointing. First, a couple of us wanted to split ingredients on our pizza (half pepperoni, half beef) but the server told us we would be charged for (2) full size ingredients. We questioned if she was correct but rather than pay a huge upcharge for ingredients, we changed our orders. Second, our pretzels came out almost 30 minutes after ordering instead of 15 minutes. When my husband questioned our server, she responded with «oh, the kitchen made a mistake.» No other explanation. The pizza was okay — big slices but nothing to write home about. I think after waiting an hour to get our complete meal, we were just ready to eat a bit and go home. I felt embarrassed for suggesting to have dinner here. While the food was decent, it couldn’t overcome the disappointing service or acknowledgement of slow food and order mistakes. Super frustrating when you have a full view of the kitchen and see plenty of servers standing around chatting.

This place is my favorite out of the sit-​down pizza places in Louisville. I recommend getting one of the specialty pizzas. Also the salads are very fresh and I always get the Esperanza dressing. They have a good draft beer selection too. The prices are a bit expensive and sometimes the service is slow.

We did do carry out which is never 100% the same but I don’t even think they attempted the same quality. The honey & cinnamon pretzels were burnt and completely inedible. They weren’t even pretzels they were shaped like skinny breadsticks. We got a pizza too, not terrible just mediocre nothing I’ll recommend to anyone. In my opinion if they have carryout they should put the same effort in.

Very good gluten free pizza. My favorite is the Gourmet White but I also love the Kosmic Karma! They only have medium size for gluten free so it’s a little more expensive. Bring a friend to share! :) They also cook the pizzas in special pans for gluten free. Very friendly staff and great atmosphere! (Be sure to avoid the nights they do trivia. It gets loud.)

Good pizza and pretzels. A little slow service considering we were there after the normal lunch hour.

Best Pizza in Louisville…

Pizza can definitely fall in a few categories.
There’s the thin-​crust, artisan style and then the slices-​as-​big-​as-​your-​head. Also, you have the buttery crust piled high with toppings in various combinations.
Mellow Mushroom definitely falls into that third category — and they’re pretty great at it.
I’ve enjoyed several MM locations, and on my most recent trip I tried Philosopher’s Pie, which has an olive oil and garlic base, Portobello mushrooms, artichoke hearts, Kalamata olives, Provolone, feta and mozzarella cheeses. Instead of steak, I got it with sausage.
I’m normally not a huge fan of big mushrooms, but this combo called to me and hit the spot. I especially liked the garlic and artichoke hearts.
And the crust was flavorful — definitely more than just a base for toppings.
The service at this MM location was prompt and polite.
Really this was an all-​around, good meal — exactly what I was hoping for.

I don’t understand all the complaints, maybe We got lucky but or food and service was great.
First the service
We were barely in our seat and our waitress was getting our dri k order which came back fast even though I had a special request. Our waiter Julia advised us that food was made fresh and would take 25 minutes although it was more like 12 min. She checked on us several times and brought me a refill on my soda just as my first one finished. She was paying attention but was never intrusive.
Food
First off we’ve had Mello Mushroom from the original and several other locations. We enjoyed ours as much as any of the others. Pizza was out fast and perfect. Love the chewy crust with just enough crispiness.
Everything was prompt including the bill.

I was actually pleasantly surprised after reading some other reviewers posts. We arrived here about 5:30PM or so. It was pretty busy, people were waiting. Luckily, my MIL and FIL got there before my husband, son, and I. They were able to get a table. However, we knew we’d need a booth as we were both using gift certs that expire the next day. So, we would each be ordering a large each. The tables are tiny for a party of 5. We requested a move to a nearby booth and they were very willing to work with that.
Our server was great. He seemed to know exactly what he was doing. He was super friendly, knew the food and drink menu very well. He made sure to check in on us frequently to see if we needed anything. He was good.
Appetizers: My husband and I got the spinach and artichoke dip with the bread. DELICIOUS! My favorite thing. I could seriously sit there and eat a whole order myself. I would probably go on to say the best spinach and artichoke dip I’ve ever eaten. MIL and FIL got the meatball trio appetizer. Eh, they were ok, but that is coming from someone who really doesn’t like meatballs that much. Everyone else said they were good.
Pizza: Hubby and I got the buffalo chicken pizza. I’ll start with the crust. Very good, love the crispiness. It seemed to have a lot of good flavor in that tiny crust, but I am a crust lover. The pizza as whole was good, but nothing special to brag about. Although, this is my first buffalo chicken pizza ever. I love buffalo chicken so figured it would be good. It was, but again not that great. I really think if there were more buffalo sauce and the chicken was shredded it would be a near perfect pizza.
Would I go back again? Probably. I would go out of my way to go as I live in IN, but if I was over here already I would go again. All and all a pretty good experience.

I always love coming here since it’s right up the street from where I live. The pizza is excellent and I love their pretzels with their beer cheese. However, if you’re expecting a quick meal, this is not the place for you. Due to the dough (which is SO yummy) their pizzas can take a half an hour to 40 minutes to make. But, if you have time, so worth it.
The service can get a little lack luster at times. But I will say I called ahead for a party of 12 and they had the table ready when I got there. Didn’t see our server too much though.
My husband and I will for sure be back, the atmosphere, especially for sports, is nice and we usually sit in the bar.

great pizza, great atmosphere. We’ve been twice. Both on a Sunday afternoon. We Tried to go on a Saturday night. Big mistake. The wait was 45−60min. We were way to hungry to wait that long. On Sunday’s, we were seated right away. Order appetizers the same time as the
pizza. At least that’s what we did and they came, we ate, then the
pizza came, we devoured. The holy shiitake has been my favorite!
