Mellow Mushroom

Drove down to Tempe to have lunch with my daughter. Good food. Great service

Came here on a game day because every where else was too busy. Mellow Mushroom was a calm place (at least when I went) and very friendly.
I went ahead and got a cheese pizza. The wait time was about average of 20 minutes. While the food was good, I didn’t see it as anything special. It was quite average. For last minute plans, this was a good stop.
The pizza itself tasted a little too cheesy, but the crust was great!
Definitely a good place for a family night out.
Will probably patronize again sometime.

After 10pm half price draft beers and munchies. Friendly staff. Good environment and people. What more could you ask for?

Great beer. bad advertising. ALL half off after ten is NOT ALL BEERS
I got duped into coming in after ten from there «ALL BEER HALF OFF AFTER TEN PM» signs all over the restaurant. I soon came to find out that certain beers are excluded as explained on small print on the menu. Classic bait and switch. Manager was there and completely unapologetic. Good selection but shady practices… customer service is everything

The food was okay but slightly overpriced. Main issue was that I got food poisoning and couldn’t really leave bed for a few days. I know it’s from this place because I went with another person who had similar symptoms.

Had a gluten free pizza. $ 20 for a personal pizza with burnt edges and no flavor? No thank you!
Atmosphere has no personality. It’s loud and far from my warm and inviting.
If you want a chill place with good pizza, you’re better off staying home and making a frozen pizza

Good food but paid for this later. I am gluten free and my crust was definitely not kept separate from gluten products.

Tried on the haloween. Tried thai pizza, was quite good. Also chicken wings. Nice food

Oh my God I absolutely adore this place. They have the greatest reverse happy hour from 10 PM till 2 AM. They have a great selection of beers too, lots of IPAs on draft. They also have great pizza! The crust is wonderful!!! I’ve fallen in love with the mighty meaty. The wings are pretty good I even like their barbecue sauce. They do have a dog friendly patio that’s on Mill Avenue so plenty of people watching available. Never can go wrong here for a cheap night. Love!

Love this place!!! Every time I come here, the staff is always smiling, helpful and polite! Great place to grab cheap drinks and great food. I recomend any of their pizza’s and their meatballs! Ohhh my goodness, their meatballs, so tasty! I wish they offered more than just 3 to a plate. Go sit inside the bar and ask for Lexi! She is so much fun, attentive, polite and great at what she does! Mellow you are lucky to have her! You guys are AWESOME, keep it up! :)

Came here before an ASU football game… it was not completely packed like the other places around, so we were seated right away, which was awesome. Great happy hour specials, including half off appetizers and very reasonably priced beer on tap.
I loved the baked chicken wings with the sweet Thai chili sauce, and there are tons of beers to choose from! Mirror Pond Pale Ale is a fave of mine, so I was excited to see it on the list.
A great option for game days!

First restaurant in Arizona! Great spot for a late night snack while walking through Mills. Since it was happy hour, we ordered a couple drinks, which came out to be too artificial and sweet for our table. We decided to order the chicken wings, the stuffed portebello mushroom, and the five guys pizza with five types of mushrooms.
The chicken wings were pretty standard, but a good starter snack. The portebello mushroom came out cold, and we could not enjoy it at all, so we sent it back. What a bummer. The pizza, on the other hand, made up for the appetizers. The thin crust was nice and crisp, and the toppings were fantastic. We really enjoyed the pizza and finished it within minutes.
I would recommend sticking to the pizza and maybe skipping the appetizers if you’re not that hungry. Our total came out to be around $ 45 which was pretty reasonable as we also got drinks.

Two words: Vastly Overpriced.
Mellow Mushroom is hippie-​chic for the trust-​fund stoner. The place has a clean, bistro-​ish feel, service is good (our waiter was a trainee and provided better service than many veterans), and the general ambience is pleasant.
The food quality is on the high end of average, but the prices… just looking at the prices made me dizzy from the moment I cracked the menu open. For drink and a small portion of whatever you end up being interested in, expect to pay around $ 12, before tipping. Small pizzas ranged up to $ 13. Drinks are $ 3 each, some of which don’t come with any refill service.
The people aren’t the problem at Mellow Mushroom, the cash-​grab is. It isn’t anywhere close to earning the kind of prices on the menu.
Thumbs down. The people who work here deserve not to have to be associated for (and probably forced to answer for) the prices.
Skip Mellow Mushroom. There’s plenty of other stuff on Mill.

Found a Groupon ($ 20 for $ 10) and decided to eat here before a gaming night with friends. My husband and I split the wings as an appetizer and split a medium pizza. The wings are described as crispy baked wings on the menu, but they are just baked. No crisp to them BUT they ARE quite tasty (we got BBQ). For the pizza my husband got the house special on his half, and I got the «philosopher’s» something on mine. The pizza crust was amazingly buttery crispy and chewy. The house special side was awesome. I didn’t care for the philosophers side. I think it was more personal than any mistake of the kitchen. My husband loved it all.
Why five stars if the food wasn’t perfect? I don’t blame the restaurant because I tried and didn’t like something I have never tried before. Also, the service was above and beyond, even though our server knew we had a Groupon from the moment we sat down. I have been greeted with horrible attitudes and contempt in the past when it has been made known that I have a Groupon. This guy wasn’t phased at all, he didn’t treat us any differently from the large group next to us. I’m terribly with names, but he was a bartender and we were in there on Monday ⁸⁄₃₁ right after the storm. We will be in there again this Monday, hopefully I will find a pizza combo I like this visit!

I thought it was better than your average pizza place, and I dig the whole hippie/​magic mushroom theme of the place. I have to hand it to our server for being patient with us, as we had the kids with us and they were in full naughty mode.
Price-​wise, there’s better bang for your buck, but kids drinks are free, and that Mellowterranean pizza was worth trying. I’d definitely pay the Mellow Mushroom another visit, next time without the kiddos.

I thought I already reviewed this place. But here goes. Friend had a Groupon. We had pizza. This is my second trip to the over-​priced but good Mellow Mushroom. Last time we had the Magical Mystery Tour Pizza. This time we did the Mega Veggie. The place is really neat, lots to please those with AHDH. The food is very good but way overpriced. Probably to keep out the riff raff on Mill. Whole wheat dough was pretty good, not too heavy as can happen. Veggies were fresh, but the feta and tofu were overkill. I will stick with the Tour. If I ever go back. Beer was cold. Service was good. But $ 25 bucks for a pizza is a deal-​breaker for me.

Great pizza and great service make the mellow mushroom a hit in my book! Graffiti art décor and psychedelic mushrooms art make it fun and laid back! One of the best pizza places around! What color is your base?!

Meh… Is what comes to mind with this pizza joint.
What’s good:
The place is clean and the server was upbeat and attentive (for the most part).
The pizza is good, I order a seasonal speciality pizza. It came out piping hot forcing me to make those goofy open mouth sucking air faces.
The place is spacious and clean. They have a bar with plenty of beer on tap.
What’s not so good:
The prices, wtf why is one pie $ 30 freaking bucks. OK okaay I’ll admit I have been judged as a cheap skate in the past but cmon man.
I have not tried enough of the pizzas at this place to get a good feel for the overall menu. The southwestern pizza I had was nice but it did not have heat (seasoning) I prefer.

The most outstanding part about Mellow Mushroom was the great service. A group of friends and I went here for happy hour, and was unfamiliar with some of the drinks — Mello Mushroom carries a huge list of beers. The waiter made some awesome recommendations, and let us sample drinks. He seemed to really enjoy working at the restaurant, which made all of us happy. I had the grasshopper cider — it had a very unique taste to it, and was pretty strong. I liked it a lot.
By the way, if you go during happy hour, it’s half off of the drinks.
The restaurant was clean and had a relaxed atmosphere. Great staff, great drinks, and great atmosphere — highly recommended.

Hit or miss on service at the bar.
Takes them quite a bit of time to return to you to order, even with just one other person sitting at the bar.
For table service, They didn’t have beer lists one day so we had to walk from our table to lean over the bar to see what they had on draft… Kind of awkward. But okay.
Happy hour is pretty awesome though, cheap beer (great selection) and even cheaper appetizers. (How do you go wrong with half priced?) 4 dollars vs 8 dollars? I’ll order two!
I really liked the bruschetta (it’s a little sweet) but the by-​far best thing there is the spinach artichoke dip. It’s the
.
Don’t know if I’d come here outside of happy hour cause the food seems a tad bit expensive, or maybe I’m just super cheap. Hahah
Every time I come here it’s super slow, which can actually be nice for a mill ave place since you can hear yourself think and it doesn’t get rowdy. At least from what I experienced.
