    Man, this is rough. I have a family with gluten and lactose allergies. We ordered the gluten free vegan pizza and added jalapeños, ham, and pineapple. They barely put any toppings on. Save your time and go to Slice (which is what we ended up doing... after throwing this "pizza" away). Shameful.

    So I love mellow mushroom since it's first restaurant in downtown Birmingham appeared in 2002. While this all started in Georgia I like to think Alabama is the second home to Mellow mushroom. This location at Inverness corners is super cute. You walk in and can feel the uniqueness that is mellow mushroom. Unfortunately the service is lacking. We came in for lunch on a Thursday December 15 so it was not busy at all. The server was nice but she definitely was not loving her job. I ordered pretzels as an appetizer and then we ordered a mighty meat pizza. We know that pizza takes a minute so we wanted to munch on the pretzel. Well so we waited and waited .... No pretzel. Finally the pizza showed and the server just sat the pizza down and walked off. I stopped her and asked about the pretzel- she looked confused like I had not ordered it. She was not sure what happened but I said - please cancel the appetizer since we have the entree. She never apologized which I thought was strange. I then asked for some ranch dressing and forks .... they never came. I went to the counter where she was sitting and asked for the items. We then needed drinks but by now - I had given up. The pizza was great but I will definitely do carry out next time!

    Had an absolutely wonderful experience tonight at this Mellow Mushroom. The food was great (especially the Holy Shiitake Pie!!!!) but it was the customer service that was truly above and beyond. Our waitress was stellar. Plus it seems like the food got way better since the last time I visited. Seriously some of the best pizza I've had in ages!

    I was finally able to check out wooden city and enjoyed it so much that I went back a couple weeks…read morelater for a friend's birthday! I really like the ambience inside. It gives a great vibe for either a work dinner, a date night, owl or dinner with friends! It's fun and swanky but not over the top. They have a really attractive bar and they have a pizza kitchen that is open, which is always a cool touch. I try to handful of appetizers and I've got to recommend both the jerk cauliflower as well as the brussels sprouts and the Caesar salad was delicious as well. Also, the blistered Hungarian peppers are a must order if you'd like sausage! The meal that I had both times because it was that good was the spicy lamb rigatoni. I might just go back next week and get it again. I like that they have a wide variety of options whether you're looking for a gluten-free meal or something carb heavy like pizza or pasta, but they also have options to fit a variety of budgets from a casual dinner and a burger to more expensive entrées. The servers are very kind and are definitely educated in their wine and food offerings and very hospitable. Since this is located on Morris, a lot of people think parking is difficult down there, but apparently there is a parking lot in the back where you're able to get your ticket validated. I know some of my friends wish they would have known this before. I'll definitely be back and recommend this spot to others wanting a good meal!

The pizza was good, but my girlfriend ordered mushroom and pepperoni and we got sausage and mushrooms . The toppings and sauce were good, but the best part was the chewy crust that was slightly charcoaled. I had to use the City parking lot in the back as street parking was full. This area looks to be comparable to Omaha's Old Market, but we didn't have any time to explore. Hipsters of the World Unite!

    Capella Pizzeria definitely deserves their high ratings…read more I came here with some others to pick up some pizzas for a family gathering. I was pleased that the had a large variety of options but even had gelato and desserts as well. Large pizzas run $21-$27 are thin crust. For pizzas, we got two of their Margheritas, Meat Buster and Palermo. They were all good and a hit at the family party. The meat Buster and Palermo had meat but honestly not a whole lot. They were good though. All the pizzas were lots of flavor and the sauce to cheese ratio was perfect. I loved that they had chili oil, extra dipping sauce, cheese, and peppers on the side for you to grab. While our time there we even had some gelato which was good and got some cheese cake to go. Our pizzas came out quick. The shop is very large with plenty of places to sit, even good for a large party. I loved that they even had plates on the table ready to go. This was a solid pizza spot and worth checking out if you prefer thinner crust.

    Food first, thoughts after... This is my favorite pizza…read moreplace ever. I realized I have never reviewed them despite coming here multiple times that I had to come brag about them. The restaurant is spacious and clean. The vibes are upscale costco/sams. All the ingredients are fresh from Italy and the Italian wood fire oven cooks them perfectly. The wait is never long and the portion sizes are my favorite. Even after eating their pizza, I have never felt bloated or "bad" afterwards like some of my other experiences with pizza, which has strayed me away from pizza all together. I always get the Palermo and have never strayed. I want to try something new but just can't! Their hot chili oil is chef's kiss on the pizza!

    Today, I have the honor of being the first guest to eat at Salvatore's today. They opened at 10:30…read moreand I arrived at 10:34. I was greeted by the front employee, who was wiping down the final tables before service started. I viewed the menu and saw they offered pizza in different sizes and toppings. They also served pasta, including lasagna, chicken alfredo and spaghetti. I learn that the front employee's name was Solomon. He proved excellent customer service to me, answering all of my questions. He even pulled up a special menu on the TV for me to see that changes every day of the week, serving pizza by the slice instead of a whole pie. I ordered the Spaghetti with mushroom meat sauce, which included garlic bread and a side salad. I also ordered 2 pepperoni pizza with a drink. My total was right at $22 dollars for everything. To me, this was a bargain to get so much food as well. The setting of the table featured red and white tablecloths, which made it feel like a real Italian pizzeria. There are about 30-35 tables, with bar stool seating areas for single guest to enjoy the Birmingham view. My food took about 12 minutes to come out, and Solomon bagged everything nice and neatly before I made it to the counter. I went back to the stool seating to enjoy my food. Once he realized I was dining in, he brought over a parmesan cheese shaker for me to use with my food. This was top tier for me! Very observative. The Meal: I can tell you now that the portion sizes are humorous! The pizza is large thin, hand tossed slices that filled the box of a small pizza. The pasta was enough to feed three people, so they give you a well amount for your money. The pizza had to be eaten folded, which I enjoyed a lot. The pizza sauce was full of flavor, didn't seem like anything out of a can. The slices were cheesy, saucy and not overly greasy with a perfect crust. Some of the pizza I've enjoyed in Birmingham. The spaghetti mushroom meat sauce pasta was very meaty and full of mushrooms. The mushrooms could have been sauteed more before adding to the sauce. As the pasta was full of meat, the sauce could have been more. to cover the bottom of the noddle as well. The garlic bread bursted with buttery, garlicy herb flavor and was super airy and fluffy, not like hard toast baked to plinko chips consistency. The salad was super fresh and simple. The cheese was thick, hand shredded mozzarella cheese with fresh romaine lettuce and a slice of tomato. The ranch dressing was not my favorite, but the house vinaigrette was 10/10! I could drink that dressing; it was so good. I was able to wash it all down with various Coca-Cola fountain drinks or fresh brewed tea (Sweet or Unsweet). Coke Zero was an option, which made me happy! Overall, this visit earned a solid 4.5/5 and I would patronize with them again. Customer service as 5/5, thanks to Solomon. The chefs were hard at work the entire time. By the time I left, 75% of the tables were taken and mostly everyone was eating already too. Check them out if you're in the area! -DASC

It was then and now my favorite pizza place in Birmingham. I am from New York and the pizza reminded me of home. I only found out a few weeks ago that this "Downtown" location even existed. I would usually take the 25 minute drive up 280 for my pizza. I have no idea how I missed this. Food: The sauce is the key. Weiher on the pizza or on the pasta. We always order a Meatball Pizza and it has been very consistent. My son and I had a Medium Meatball pizza and Cheese Ravioli Parm which comes with Garlic Bread. Service: The service is simple. You order at the counter, and they bring it to your table. Just like every other Salvatore's location. The manager was OUTSTANDING. I asked for the crust to be a little more done, and it was PERFECT. Ambiance: Super Casual and perfect for the food they make. Lots of table and for the most part very clean. Pizza is a personal thing. What I like, other don't or have their own special place. Now that I know Salvatore's is so close to my home, actually walking distance, I will eat there more often. As a matter of fact, we are ordering for pick up tonight. I don't use delivery services unless I am desperate. Eat Well, Drink well and stay Healthy.
