Mellow Mushroom

Mellow Mushroom... Averaging out at 3 stars. The pizza is interesting. The specialty zas are the only reason this place should exist. Well done on blending many pizza variations, toppings, and sauces. Some are better than others obviously- but they are all creatively designed. Good job.
The name is the most misleading of all. A more suiting name would be "crazy- madhouse- give me a headache mushroom." The place is all but mellow. Before heading to MM, you should prep yourself for an hour wait ( with no waiting area), an environment that seems to combine a sports bar and a chuck-e-cheese (minus the games), and a roar of battling screams and loud voices. Again... not mellow.
My recommendation is to call in a to-go order and thank me when you pick it up realizing you just dodged a migraine!

I got a takeout taxi groupon and I figured what better time to try Mellow Mushroom since apparently it's impossible to get in the door.  It was just okay and it cost alot.  Rather go to Bearnos or Wicks.

I ate here a few weeks ago with a group of friends on a Saturday.

We started with the bruschetta, which was very good. I had a side salad which was unfortunately typical of many pizza joints (iceberg lettuce, blah dressing, not worth having). Although my husband enjoyed his field greens salad. But who are we kidding, you came for the pizza right? And it doesn't disappoint! We split the Kosmic Karma (with pesto, my favorite) and the house special, great for the meat lovers. They also have a fantastic beer selection! The only downside is they don't post the drink prices on the beer menu, and the beer is a bit pricey ($7-$8). The pizza is also a bit on the pricey side, $20-$25 for a large. But honestly, this is some of the best pizza in town in my opinion!
