This was the 2nd time I’ve dined at a Mellow Mushroom and now I wonder why I haven’t been more often! I like the atmosphere. Our server was wonderful and the food is great. I was pleasantly surprised to find that they offer vegan options! Knowing I can take my husband back (he has Alpha Gal and is allergic to mammal & dairy), is amazing!

Food was good. Pizzas could have been cooked longer some spots still had raw dough. They can accommodate allergies and offer dairy free options. Server was friendly. Took while for food to come out and they weren’t busy when we ordered, seated right away and inside and outdoor seating were 1/3 full. By the time we left there was a wait.

Always love a Mellow Mushroom pizza. Wherever we travel and see 1 we have to stop at least once during the trip. Pizza was hot and tasted fantastic.

Great pizza and salads! Perfect ending to our day of traveling. Only downside was the restaurant was very loud and hard for our group to talk to eachother. Had the Super Pepp and really enjoyed it!

I have to give a shout-out to Addison, who turned 17 today and had her birthday cake/ celebration at this restaurant this evening. Congrats! This restaurant is a staple for me and the great gluten-free pizza options. I also love the vibe / decor no matter which store you visit. I went with the bbq chicken pizza, and it was delicious. Would I recommend this restaurant? Absolutely Will I return? Absolutely Go see for yourself! Caleb, my server was cool
