Mellow Mushroom

I’m not a big fan of chains, but every time I go to this restaurant, I am impressed. I got the Mega Veggie pizza and it was just outstanding. I am baffled by the number of vegetarian and vegan options available, which is rare! In a group of 15 people, I did not hear a single person leave unsatisfied! The server wasn’t the nicest, but the manager honored a 10% off that Unilocal gave me for checking in (even though he said this particular restaurant does not use those coupons). Overall, I would go here again any day!

The food was good, but the service was horrible! As in the worst service I have probably ever had in my life. I assumed my pretzels appetizer wasn’t going to come out since I was already done eating my pizza. When it did come out, I was told it took so long because it had to bake… as if the pizza didn’t.

Came on Dec 26. Not many customers here, but very poor management this night. Ran out of Coke. Took over an hour to get food. Orders were messed up. Server didn’t come by that often and not many tables they were serving. Appetizer didn’t show up for 40 minutes and had to ask about it. Apparently order was not placed for it. These meatballs when they came out only had hot marinara but meatballs were cool inside.
One pizza that was ordered didn’t show. Apparently server didn’t check on it and the only other server there picked it up and gave it to someone else that got there 30 minutes after we did. Another pizza was completely burned.
Will not return to this location. I’d give it ½ star but you can’t.

I want to give this joint 4 or 5 stars, but the table service is always so lacking. We eat here about once a month or so and the waitress or the kitchen always seems to get the order wrong.
Case in point was our last trip. I ordered a mega-​veggie pizza. I asked the waitress to hold the mushrooms, and add Kalamata olives. Instead, I got the shrooms, and they held both the kalamata and the black olives. My daughter ordered a medium sized pizza, they brought a small. My wife ordered a Greek Salad. The waitress initially brought a garden salad. When we brought the wrong salad to her attention, she brought something g similar to a Greek salad, but missing several items.
This has been fairly consistent service for a year now. A new MM is opening up downtown, looks like we’ll give it a try.

The pizza is delicious, but I called in a pickup order and built my own pizza. Instead of coding it as one of their speciality pizzas and charging accordingly for substitutions, they charged me for every topping, which led to a $ 44 bill for a large pizza and Caesar salad.

Perfect for a family outing or group before or after a movie. Delicious pizzas and salads.

Hit or miss on the service, but the food is consistently good. Great beer selection with a good rotation of craft/​micros. Great for large groups and very kid friendly.
As for the service the last time we were there our server never brought our appetizer and our food came out in waves, with the kids food last. I’m not in the restaurant business, but if I was I would make sure my employees delivered what my customers ordered… that’s how you make money.
On the flip side we have also had terrific service a few times, I guess it just depends on who takes your order.

The south is not really known for pizza. Mellow Mushroom is the epicenter of southern pizza. MM is fantastic at blending craft of preparation with the uniqueness of ingredients to make a wonderful pie. The appetizers are great. I highly recommend the meatballs and the choices of craft beer both local and global are not to be missed.
Don’t bother trying anything else. This is the pizza you have been looking for.

Go here for the pizza, not the beer.
Went here twice with friends, and they were consistently performing poorly in the beer department. One of my friends went 0 for 4 with his beer requests, despite two of them being on their beer specials menu. I ended up going 1 for 3, and a couple of my other friends ordered what was advertised as draft beer, but they just brought bottles to the table. They never had any clue what was and was not available, or at least our servers didn’t tell us.
The pizza was good, but beyond that, not much else to say.

Service was slow, pizza was good. No draft beer as taps were down. Desert was just ok. Heard lots of customers talk about this was the worst Mellow Mushroom they have been to. My fist and last time.

This is a fabulous place to get a pizza if you have food issues, and also if you don’t.
First, not only can you get delicious a vegan, gluten-​free, soy-​free pizza here, but if you look at their website they post the ingredients for the crust and the safety measures they take to protect against contamination.
Second, you can get daiya.
Third, the customer service is amazing. My waitress was one of the best I have ever encountered. I never had a chance to run low on tea and she interrupted her break to check on me, which was totally unnecessary but very sweet.
Fourth, the array of toppings available is actually quite impressive. There are several kinds of dairy cheese in addition to daiya; a solid array of veggies including sundried tomatoes, kalamata olives, fresh basil, and a couple kinds of peppers; red sauce, bianca, or pesto; and there are meat and vegan proteins as well as some specialties like avocado or teriyaki. I think the only topping I could want that they don’t have is roasted garlic. Yay Mellow Mushroom!

Pizza tastes the same as it does here and in Atlanta.
Of course it’s overpriced but at least it’s tasty?

I had the holy shiitake pie. It was bomb. I had beer. Delicious summer meal. The pizza had great crust– crispy on the outside and warm and fluffy on the inside. Thin-​ish pie with lots of flavor! Love that aioli sauce… There is not better pre-​movie meal than at mellow mushroom. Great for large groups — quick service — great food. My friend had a hoagie which was also delicious– fresh roll and toppings:)) highly recommend.

Brought the family here the other night.
The pizza was good and my daughter enjoyed her salad. I thought it was a bit small for the price.
I split a medium sized pizza with my son. I went with a specialty half and his was pepperoni. It was obvious that greater than 70% of the pizza was pepperoni and I still paid the price of a full sized specialty pizza which is still too high at ~$ 21.
The family enjoyed the meal and going out, but the bill made me a bit hesitant about returning.

Overpriced and over rated are 2 words that come to mind. We had one large pizza, one medium, 2 large salads of mediocre quality, one small without hardly anything on it, 2 diet cokes and 2 beers which were served in glasses a bit larger than shot glasses and with tax and tip it was $ 92. The price does not match the quality or quantity it should been. The service was good. The pizza crust was good… the rest… eh, nothing to write home about.

Took an hour to get all of our food. We waited 25 mins for a table and then 40 mins after being seated, only half our food was delivered, it took another 15 mins for the rest of our food. Service was great, but kitchen is really slow… management needs to address and correct this issue. Probably won’t come back.

Ordered the regular enlightened spinach salad. Smallest salad I’ve ever seen. Not that good either. Brought the wrong salad twice. Tea good. Wings pretty good. Salad looked like they dumped a few pieces of apple in the bottom with two cranberries and a few pecans. Topped that with a handful of spinach.
The mellow mushroom in Auburn much better. Salad twice the size and tastes much better.
Server was nice, prompt, and attentive.
Ate here after a movie. Won’t come back.

It is hard to find a pizza place that offers gluten-​free, vegan pizza, but Mellow Mushroom has it all! Great gluten-​free, vegan pizza with beers and wines too. We came before a movie and had great service along with our great meal. The price is definitely more than other pizza places though. Unfortunately, this isn’t a place that we will frequent often. Instead it will be a very special treat on rarely occasions.

This mellow mushroom has been hit or miss. Some days we get good service and others its terrible. Food has been inconsistent as well with some menu items. Would love to see more taps added as Iv seen in other Mellow Mushrooms.

I’ve been here twice, the first time approximately two years ago, and then again over this 4^th of July weekend. Both times I have been very impressed with the food, drink and service.
My wife and I had the «Freshie» and the «Mighty Meaty». Both were fantastic.
The county has an odd law that does not allow beer on tap, yet it can be sold in bottles. I can’t hold that against the restaurant though. Our waitress was wicked helpful and suggested a few good selections.
They had live music, but we sat on the patio, so I can’t speak to the quality.
I’d recommend stopping in.
