Came here for dinner with a friend. We came in around 6:30 and the place was almost completely empty. The staff was quirky and even though the place was empty they had slow service. Our pizza was okay , the outside was nice and crispy but the inside dough was almost raw and very chewy.
Not the best Mellow Mushroom. We have been to this place in Asheville,NC and Greenville,SC and this place has nothing on the original Mellow Mushroom. It’s sad to be honest and the food isn’t that good either for the price!.this place needs to be remodeled and bring the real Mellow Mushroom art back that it was based on..
Greeter was very nice and cheerful. Our waitress was OK, didn't have any recommendations how ever. And seemed to disappear quite often.We had a Sandwich below par and Pizza Burger not really good but the burger meat was fantastic! Our child had a cheese pizza, he said was great. So there's that. We asked for some mustard. We got a squeeze bottle that the top hadn't been cleaned since the beginning of Covid. Don't think we will be back. Maybe for the pizza.
Here is my dilemma- I love Mellow Mushroom but I live in Kingwood. Today I knew I was going to be in the general area of the location in the Heights, so placed a pickup order for a Holy Shitake. Got the pizza to my car and was so bummed to find out how horribly it was prepared. The sauce that is supposed to be a drizzle was completely covering the pizza even on the crust- that sauce is rich and not meant to be a complete coating. Crust edges and bottom were way overcooked. I’ve been to Mellow Mushroom in four different states and probably seven different locations, and the brand is consistent except for this location. At $14.00 for a small pizza that I had to literally wipe down with napkins, I will not be coming back to this location. Do better. I gave it two stars because the people working up front were very friendly and the pizza was made quickly.
Thank you for having vegan options! The pizza was so good and I liked how the vegan cheese melted and tasted. Crust and toppings were great too.
Mellow Mushroom has been my favorite pizza since I lived in Lexington 10+ yrs ago. This location is just as good as the rest! I'm never disappointed! I hope it opens back up soon.
Came in on a Friday afternoon. The service was fast. I ordered a standard large sausage and pepperoni pizza. Got the pizza in 17 minutes of ordering. The crust was a little too thick for my taste, although they have a thin crust option, I wanted to see what their standard pizza was like. Not enough pizza sauce on it, again something I'm sure could be changed upon request. The pizza was good but it lacks some flavor. The location is super clean though and seems to attract a trendy crowd. Full bar available, I'm sure it gets lit in the evening hours. Definitely worth a try. Paper straws are given not plastic, which I thought was pretty cool. In summary, the service is excellent, the atmosphere is great and trendy, but the pizza isn't much to brag about.
I definitely do like this place a lot. The pizza is pretty good and my wife and I love their gluten free crust, you can’t necessarily tell that it’s gluten free, and that’s the point. Only downside with the gluten free crust is it only comes with a small pizza. The wings were very good, no complaints there. Sometimes they will have kitchen issues, like an order not being sent in, but I don’t blame the wait staff. They’re usually honest and very apologetic when something doesn’t come out on time and may offer some type of compensation in the form of a discount or free item.
As always Mellow mushroom locations never disappoint. First time at this location. The decorations were great. I'm mainly Vegan most of the time now so finding restaurants I can eat at can be a challenge. I did learn to get dairy free dough I had to order the gluten free crust. Service was quick and staff very friendly.
Really good ambiance with exceptional ingredients! Really happy we found this place. Our Server Alec was a really nice guy offering guidence through the menu as it was our first time here. Definitely recommend this place if your in the mood for some Real pizza.
