Such a fun family place! I loved the experience! I ordered a small mushroom pizza with side Greek salad and it was great. Really delicious! Sangria was not my favorite but it was still good. Service was outstanding. I chose to eat outside and was people watching. I will go back anytime.

Been a while since I've been at a Mellow Mushroom eatery. A spacious location with 2 floors and outside areas. Love the decor. Staff was professional and friendly. Photos of what we had attached. Everything was delicious. I'm sure to return but no locations are close to us.

My coworkers and I love eating at this restaurant whenever our nights off line up, and Sadie and her exceptional service always makes it worth it. I was having a particularly rough day today and her attitude and friendliness made it much more tolerable to be out and about. I unfortunately did have to speak to management about an issue (unrelated to Sadie, she was as wonderful as always) and although I forgot to get her name, the female manager working tonight was extremely kind as well. Sadie also made sure I got extra beer cheese with my leftovers as well, which was extremely appreciated. I’ve worked in food service and understand how stressful it can be, and it is so important to me that that woman gets the recognition she deserves, because having a server with her attitude really does make all the difference.

Much better experience this time than our list visit. Our social group made this site one of our dinner meetings. Our group of 10 had a good sampling of the menu although most got pizza of course! Wait staff was very attentive. The food was fresh hot and delicious. Although the restaurant was a bit loud when we arrive the noise level did settle down eventually. All enjoy their entree and drink. If you enjoy pizza and you're in the area certainly you need to make this a stop. Enjoy!

Stopped in here with a friend to grab a quick lunch. Everyone was super nice and kind. They were just opening when we got there but they gave us speedy service. I couldn’t recommend it enough. Food is delicious as always and we even got a special they had for breast cancer awareness. 10/10 spot

Really enjoyed the half and half pizza. Got the Maui wowie and Mel Calerone. Both for local specialties. The crust is always exceptional and very soft. All the ingredients were fresh. Our waitress was kind and apologized that it was taking a bit but it wasn't an issue because they were fairly busy. Great atmosphere and great place for a wonderful pizza. Only reason I removed one star is because I do believe the pizza is great but it was close to $30 for the large. So unfortunately I don't get to go as often as I would like to. In my opinion 22 to $23 is the top out price here
