Waited for our food in blazing heat outside for 40 minutes until we finally got out food. And it came out cold, not fully cooked. Sent it back and got our second food but could not finish it because one of us got heat stroke. They apologized and offered 50% off the bill,but in actuality we got 50% off entree only that we could not finish. read more

Let's face it. Blacksburg is a food wasteland. Having said that, Mellow Mushroom is a disgrace to pizza, even in competition with bottom of the barrel stores - Pizza Hut, Domino's, and Papa John's. Just so nasty and unrefined it's pathetic. Assume eat in is better than carry out, because our carry out was seriously like joke food. Can't imagine anyone who dines in would pay for such crap. read more

This was our first time trying the Mellow Mushroom in Blacksburg. We were excited as the lines have been out the door and we have tried it elsewhere and enjoyed it. Unfortunately, the Blacksburg version of Mellow Mushroom seems to be long waits, poor service and low- quality food. We showed up early and put our names in the queue at 5:30pm. We were told it would be 30 minutes to 1 hour. We were seated at 6:45pm. We had our kids, so we asked if we could order for them first and get it soon. We were told an appetizer would be the best way to go for a quick response, which should have been an early indicator. The appetizers did come soon, to be fair. Still, our main courses (a slice of cheese pizza for the kids) did not arrive until 7:45pm. The shrimp hoagie was recommended and inedible. It was dry, spiced beyond taste and the caramelized onions on top were so many that it looked like a large helping of sauerkraut. Order it if you like a lot of bread, a few shrimp that are smothered in hot sauce and onion-sauerkraut. Very little taste. As for the pizza- we will continue to go elsewhere. Sal's is less expensive, much better service and much better tasting. This restaurant is not recommended for taking kids, unless you like keeping them entertained for 2 hours and 15 minutes in a busy place without food. No other restaurant in Blacksburg can get away with that and Mellow Mushroom should not be allowed to either. read more

MM has good pizza although I prefer a thinner crust. Crust tastes good, sauce is very good. Beer selection is wide with many in tap. A good place for a filling lunch. read more

Their beer selection is awesome. There's a bunch of different beers here on tap. I would recommend just coming here for that. The pizza is delicious, but I feel like it depends on what pizza you order. I've had some that were okay to some that were great. The buffalo chicken is one of my favorites. It's a way better experience dining in than taking the pizza to-go especially if you like beer. read more

We were not smart and went here after a home football game. The wait was over an hour and we decided to wait. The actual wait was 40 minutes so that was good. We decided to order fast knowing it could be awhile. We had a free app coupon and the manager gave it back to us and said our app was free anyway. We also got free chips while we were waiting. We were happy and did not care that we had to wait. When food finally got here food was great! read more

Food was good but not to die for. Would go again, just a bit loud and took a little longer than we would have liked!

I should have read some of your reviews before we went to MM last Sunday. Sure enough it took an hour to get our food. After we were seated, server took our order right away. 50 minutes later she comes back and says it's the pizza that is taking so long and it would be another 10 to 15 minutes. She brings the pizza but no sandwiches. They arrive in another ten minutes. Server said they were holding the sandwiches to serve along with the pizza. Huh? Food was luke warm; obviously sitting under a warmer somewhere. It took another 15 minutes to get the check, then process the credit card. We won't be back. The quality of the mediocre food is not worth the wait, believe me! read more

Good food, atmosphere and music, but be prepared to wait as the staff seats and waits on their friends before other customers. More of a college crowd and not great for families later in the evening. read more

Decided to try out a buffalo chicken pizza here a little over 2 weeks ago, a Sunday afternoon. My wife and I had just been out walking nearby, and on the spur of the moment decided we'd swing by and pick something up to take home. I called in the order, they said it'd be about a half hour...half an hour later i'm there, they say it'll be another 10 minutes. 10 minutes later it's another 5 minutes, then the employee at the pickup counter kept going back and forth to check on it - to her credit, she was very concerned about why it was taking so long. While I was waiting, at least 2-3 other people were able to pick up their orders, and more than one table got served as well. Finally got the pizza in hand about an hour after i'd originally called - I asked if I could get some extra blue cheese for dipping, and she apparently didn't have any there, so she went back towards the kitchen area and stood there waiting yet again. After a few more minutes I decided to just tell her i'd skip it, and then headed out. Once we finally got it and got home, the pizza itself was wonderful - the crust seemed like it was a sort of whole wheat, but much better than other whole wheat crusts i've had in the past. Sauce was good, the buffalo came through fine, although I think it could have done with more chicken and a bit less cheese. I'll definitely eat from here again at some point - again, there was nothing wrong with the pizza once I finally got it in hand, and I do realize that one has to make allowances for it being a newly opened place. That said, the speed of the kitchen was disappointing when I was hungry, and hoping to pop in, have it ready, and get home to eat. I think perhaps the kitchen needs to keep in mind that not all their customers are going to be content with "flexible" service times (like the large crowd of students on the patio, some of whom looked ready to take a nap), and that some of us would just like to get our food at the promised time and be on the way. I don't know if the staff realize they're prioritizing students vs. "regular" customers, but after reading some of the other reviews here since I posted, i'd have to agree that it does seem like that's what's happening. read more

Overall, the food was delicious, but was not worth the price for pizza and bar food. Our party of three ate for almost $80 on pizza, one appetizer, and a pitcher of beer. We sat at the bar to avoid a 1 hour+ wait, but it took that long for our food to come out. Lastly, our bartender left and was replaced by someone who provided better service, but I don't know who the tip went to. I was disappointed. read more

Was looking forward to coming here. Enjoyed our time at the bar even though wait was much longer than told. Then once we were seated the service was average at best but the wait was awful. Apparently the manager decided to leave to take care of a catering order instead of the restaurant. Waited over an hour for our pizzas. They seemed to think that was ok and argued that the catering customers where just as important so nothing they could do. And the catering order was called in well in advance. read more

We love this place. Everyone is very friendly. We love watching the pizza makers toss the pizza. The pizza is so fresh and so good. We also love the pretzel. They have a lot of choices for beer local beers too. read more

The pizza was good, but not great and certainly no better than other local pizza places. It was certainly not as good as the long lines would tend to make one believe. The big complaint that I have is that the pizza, which is supposed to be gourmet, is that the pizza dough was not cooked and was still quite raw for the half thickness of the pizza dough directly below the ingredients. Mellow Mushroom needs to work out the correct pizza oven temperature for their thicker pizzas. I had the megga veggie pizza, which did have megga vegies. They could not have simply left the pizza in longer, because the bottom of the pizza dough was already darkened. If you're looking for Gourmet pizza, try another place. I'd recommend Ceritano's. read more

Food was decent, but about half of the female servers were carrying food with their hair down. I've worked in restaurants myself, and that just grossed me out. I don't want to see your greasy split ends touching my or anyone else's pizza. read more

Restaurant was semi busy, yet we were completely forgotten about by our server for a soda and a water. After 20 minutes of waiting we finally left after he brought a new table their drinks within three minutes of them sitting down. Ridiculous. Thank god for the Cellar providing excellent & dependable service with far better food. read more

I LOVE Mellow Mushroom Blacksburg and so I was super excited to learn they are Vegan friendly! The past Sunday the hubby and I rode our bikes the 7 miles to have lunch there. I told our waitress, Candace, I was a vegan and she took it from there. We ordered Bruschetta and they made half vegan for us and half not (for the hubby), they even served it on separate plates! For the pizza I ordered the Thai Dye, which usually comes with chicken but for vegans they do a curried tofu and then of course vegan cheese instead of dairy cheese. Hubby had the Holy Shiitake Pie but even agreed that my vegan pizza was good! In fact, I think vegan cheese melts better than regular cheese, it was so much creamer! The whole staff at Mellow Mushroom was fabulous! This may have to become a Sunday tradition. read more

Even though we stopped in with a party of 5 on a Saturday evening, we had no wait for a table. May have just been good timing, it was crowded. Drink order taken immediately. Ordered 2 large pizzas and a sandwich platter. Server took great care of us with drinks, salad,etc. Not that long a wait for the food. Great food. All hot and prepared as it should be. Overall a really good dining experience this visit. read more

Three stars for the pizza and wings which were pretty good. Lost points for charging for a kids root beer, claiming after it was ordered it doesn't count as a kids meal drink. And lost points for serving Guinness in a plastic solo cup, making the $5.99 beer un-drinkable and it was wasted. read more

Food is great, but service is awful. Every time I come here I wait at least 40 minutes for my food. I ordered online at 4:30pm for pickup at 7:30pm. Showed up at 7:40pm to pick it up and was told it was just now being put in the oven. Ended up waiting 30 minutes for my online order. read more

Sat at the bar. Pizza and beer. Nicki and Rachael at the bar. Did a phenomenal job. Enjoy watching bartenders take pride in their job and be concerned with their customers. Very attenative. GM also asked how we were. Pizza was good. We have eaten at other mellow mushrooms and always consistent food. read more

Food is great and accomating to food intolerances/preferences but service is SLLOOOWWW. Every time I've gone, it takes over an hour to get my food--prepare for that wait. Otherwise, great atmosphere and food quality. read more

Great pizza very friendly staff.. do not be in a hurry do try some moonshine drinks st the bar...

New Mellow in Blacksburg - great night out with the family. Excellent craft pizza and beer. Friendly and attentive service. We'll be back!!

The best pizza I've ever had. The place was packed, but for good reason. The pizza was amazing, and had my date and I fighting for the last piece of our pizza. read more

Great food and atmosphere. Outstanding beer selection. Not good parking! Over-all good experience.

When we got to the restaurant @ 7:15 on a Friday, I expected the 40 min wait. After an hour and asking the host if our table was ready, he said yes and then sat us at a high top table outside. This wouldn't have been an issue but we had a 1 year old in a high chair so it was ridiculous. The host even giggled a bit because he thought it was funny that 4 of us were up higher and the baby was sitting so much lower than us...she certainly couldn't have been up at the table to eat. When the server came to the table the first thing he told us was that there was a 45 min wait time on Pizza. So we wait an hour and then would have to wait almost another hour to get our food? Needless to say, we packed up everyone and left. The whole family was excited to come down and visit but I'm not sure what the host was thinking when he gave us this table. Unfortunately I don't think we will be coming back with that service! read more

Well, this MM is definitely hit or miss. I have been a couple of times when the food was great, but I feel that my negative experiences have now started to outweigh the bad. My husband and I took our 3 year old son out for a special dinner, and he wanted MM. My White Pizza was ok, but it tasted a bit off and not as good as ones I have had in the past. My husband and son ordered a plain cheese pizza. As soon as we started eating my husband just said he wasn't crazy about his pizza and that it didn't "taste that great" but he just couldn't put his finger on it as to why. Well, we just got home and started putting our pizzas in the fridge and I just happened to sneak a peek at the bottom of the cheese pizza. WAY burned- no wonder it didn't taste that great. Ugh. Don't think we will be back- spending 50.00 for appetizer pretzels and two overdone/burned pizzas is not something I plan to do again, especially since our leftover pizza won't even be eaten. On a side note, our server Amanda was the best! She was very sweet, attentive, and super quick with refills, extra napkins, etc. Stellar service! When she stopped by to ask how our pizza was, we had actually only taken one bite each and it was way to early to tell that the pizzas were burned or not that great. By the time we figured out that we didn't like the pizzas, we were just ready to leave so I didn't bother saying anything at that point. read more

Mellow Mushroom Blacksburg - Pizza Near Me - Blacksburg, Virginia

I went the day after it opened...the service was quick and attentive, and the food was on our table instantaneously. I was very impressed with that since they had just opened! We had a coupon for a free appetizer, so make sure to sign up for the lit e-club! We tried the bruschetta and spinach dip- both delicious but I'm a little tired with the typical boring appetizer selection. We split a pizza with half cheese and half pineapple and bacon. The crust was delicious and there was a great cheese to tomato ratio. The pizza easily fed 6 people. The atmosphere was fun and we didn't have to wait too long for our table. They have great hours and it will be fun to go to late weekend nights- definitely a competition to the other downtown businesses. I can't wait to return soon- I hope they're consistently great! read more

First time at Mellow Mushroom and was not disappointed. Husband and I were there for a casual Sunday lunch and were greeted/seated immediately. Our waitress was accommodating and sweet. She didn't fuss after we requested to be moved because of a flickering light above us that was giving us a headache. We ordered a medium house special and it was fresh-tasting and scrumptious. The dough was light and crispy on the outside, doughy and warm in the inside. Good presentation. We'll certainly be back for more. read more

Service was great! Our waiter was Brandon who was very helpful and did a great job! Food was great!

Service is consistently slow. They have an extensive beer list, but always seem to be out of my first choice. They also run out of menu items. They will serve half the table their food or drinks before everyone's order is ready and it is really awkward. Everyone is friendly and sitting outside is pleasant, but you need to be flexible and patient to eat here. read more

Great pizza and calzones! Really big portions here as well, so expect to have leftovers!

Wow, we love Mellow Mushroom! We have eaten there several times with large groups, with our family, and bought take out. I have loved it every time. It looks like they maybe had a rough start with long wait times and inconsistency, but I have never had a bad experience. Our little kids love the kids night--it's laid back and everyone else has their kids so you don't feel so bad if your kids are whining or running around and the manager brings around shredded cheese for them to nibble on, or they can get their face painted or color. Anyways, about the food--the crust is amazing--my favorite of anywhere I've ever had. And their combinations ar so creative. My favorite is the Thai dye! It's a very cool place, family friendly, and despite the fact that I don't usually like chains, it is one of my favorite spots in Blacksburg. read more

Our family took our grandson here last night to celebrate his 14th birthday. We had so much fun! It was Sunday, so we went at 5:20 to avoid a wait. That was not early enough and we had an hour wait. Even with the wait, we had fun! We love the decor and had a great seat right in front of the pizza makers! Each of us ordered our own personal pizza and everyone loved the one they got! Ranging from Mediterranean to Buffalo Chicken. Cheesy bread appetizer was yummy. And the hummus and pita bread was the best I've ever had! Our beer lover loved his Sweet Water beer. My husband really enjoyed his mixed tropical drink and my wine was a good basic white. I have dairy and tomato allergies and my pizza was made without either and delicious! Our male server( whose name I wish I could recall) was excellent! Friendly, attentive and helpful. My grandson had a terrific time! We all did! We travel and eat out often so we know good food and good service! We will be back! Go: you'll have a great time! read more

Food is okay. Weight time is horrible. They are always out of something. Staff is great but always seem a little overwhelmed. I will not be back again, gave them 3 tries. read more

I have eaten at several of their other locations and have always been pleased that they are as good as the others. This one does not live up to that same standard. The pizza did not taste the same and was a lot more greasy. This location must not be getting their ingredients from the same place. read more

Pizza good, take out service terrible, waitstaff behind bar not honest about a mistake being made on the order. Very disappointing. Ordered by phone 2 pizzas and was told 35 to 40 minutes. I arrived and was told that they couldn't find the order. Then I'm told they found it as I described and it would be ready shortly. 30 minutes later I ask what really happens and am told that they were not taking take out orders at all today because it was a very busy day and also that they were told not to answer phones at all that day. I don't mind mistakes but I demand honesty. In the end they did deliver they pizzas but no offers of a drink or consideration for the mistake the made read more

Terrible. Horrible service. After 1 hr upon arriving, there were only 3 people in restaurant when we got there, we had not all gotten our food. Food was terroble. Don't waste your time or $. read more

Showed up around 2:30pm on a Saturday afternoon. Took us 15 minutes to be seated, even though there were several empty tables inside - we asked for first available. The waitress was very friendly, but once we placed our order, we did not see much of her at all. It took an hour from the time we were seated until our order arrived. No apology, no explaination, no offer to comp the meal slightly for our wait. The only time we didn't have to wait for anything was for the check. Very disappointed. Won't be returning. read more
