First time at Mellow Mushroom Blacksburg! Had a wonderful time. Our waitress Christina was exceptional! She was very knowledgeable about the menu and helped the vegan member of our group immensely. read more

My husband and I visited this Mellow Mushroom on Friday due to the tech game. Our food came out quicker than I thought it would based on how busy the restaurant was not to mention every manager was either cooking or bartending. We decided to venture out Saturday night to have a few of the craft beers that we enjoyed Friday just to be turned away at the door and told that due to the slow business they were closing early. There were still tables in the restaurant, and we mentioned we just wanted to have a beer or two, and were told that we could come in and have one beer and be out within 10 minutes. That's the reason why I'm giving three stars because despite the good experience I had on Friday, Saturday night left a bad taste in my mouth. read more

A decent vegan pizza but the staff stood around and talked and didn't budge unless someone stood up and fetched them, so dinner took forever. Won't be back. read more

i consider myself a mellow connoisseur and have eaten at over thirty mellows over the past five years. Being a college town, and one that has to have the best of everything, I figured that this location would be above par. Wrong ass umption on my part. Methinks next time, I shall go to Sal's again or better yet, make a Chef boyar d and put my own "exotic" toppings on it. Overpriced and over-hyped. Typical for this area. Usu. you gets what you pays for, not so in this case (unless it happens to be free). The service was incredibly slow, even for a non-event evening. The tables were dirty when I walked in, and not attended to the whole time I was there. The staff was scarcely seen, as if an important VIP had sneaked in the backdoor and was hanging out in the kitchen extolling cooking secrets from Mrs. Deen herself. You can keep this one, bburg. read more

Seriously people. This place is fun! I have no idea why it has an overall 3 star. We had the Holy Shitake and the Buffalo chicken with an appetizer of cheesy bread. The app disappeared very fast! I do recommend considering a salad or something other than a bread app since the pizza has the same dough. My kids and I loved the bread though. Make sure you like truffle oil if you get the mushroom pizza. Very good. Even my husband loved it who doesn't like mushroom pizza usually! Read the reviews on trip advisor too before you go. People will tell you what to order that's the best! And, it's not fast. it's fun. If you go, you will wait about 40 minutes for pizza. Turn off your cell phones, order an app and talk to your people...enjoy the wait. It's a cute restaurant! We're lucky to have a place like this in town. read more

Well we ordered our pizza 45 minutes ago and it still has not arrived. :( waitress has been by one time and promised us a glass of ice over 20 minutes ago. Most likely never to return. Thought about having dominies deliver pizza to mellow mushroom. read more

Came in at 1:34pm to eat a late lunch bc my fiancé had a doctor's appointment at 3:30pm. We ended up leaving at 3:11pm and had to have our entrées boxed up to take home and eat there. It wasn't too terribly busy and it took about 40 minutes to just get our appetizer. Our waitress came to check on us one time the entire time and while she was at our table, my beer glass was empty and she didn't even ask if I needed a refill or whatever. We love mellow mushroom but this experience may cause us to spend our money elsewhere in the future. read more

Called the restaurant 4 times and nobody answered so I went to get a takeout appetizer. 30 min later I got the appetizer and the whole point of me calling was so I would not have to wait for some delicious food, which they do have. But then decided I'd call again a couple weeks later and still no answer on the phone. So went down and ate with some friends and waited an hour for a small pizza and an appetizer on a Monday night with 5 tables in the restaurant. I feel bad for them, with this kind of service they are going to lose business based on wait time not the quality of the food. read more

The pizza was really good but we waited in line for 58 minutes adn we were told that waiting time is 40 min. The worst part is that once we finally sit down, the server told us that waiting time for food is 1 hour. we waited for 2 hour and 15 min to get our food. This is crazy. No where in this world I would wait for food for 2 hours. They must have told us since beginning that we would have to wait another 1 hour after we sit. Will never go again. read more

Food was great, however, I asked for pizza to be double cut and it wasn't, no ranch that was asked for and one of my table mates salad came out 15 minutes after ALL the hot food did and had the wrong lettuce in it. It's a shame the service was so bad with such good food! read more

Mellow Mushroom has a great atmosphere and a number of spectacular pizza combinations to suit a variety of tastes. Full of toppings and very filling. They have some fun events, trivia nights, and a large variety of tap beers. Go for a fun night. read more

We waited for 35 minutes for a table. We had no problem with that we understood that it is a busy weekend with the students coming back into town. That's fine we sat at the bar and had a few beers while we waited. What we did have a problem with is, when we finally got a table we sat for 20 minutes without being acknowledged. Both tables on either side of us we taken care of by a waitress but not one "I will be with you in just a moment". We finally walked out once we had finished our beer, without being greeted and without eating. It's a busy weekend for anyone in customer service or hospitality however 20 minutes with no acknowledgement is not acceptable by any means in any industry. read more

Went there with my family for lunch. The Magic mushroom soup was delicious- perhaps the best I ever had- but the portion size was small. Too small to justify the $4.99 price. Pizza was delicious. The steak and cheese sub was tasteless and packed with way too much lettuce. We went there at a not so busy time and it took about 35-40 minutes to receive our food. Service was very slow. I don't plan on going back. read more

Great service. Easily substituted ingredients in a calzone to make the dish vegan. Waitress was very kind and friendly!

Great service and excellent food! The kitchen manager personally came out to ask us how our food was which is amazing. 10/10

Took over Backstreets spot, which I loved. Great pizza but it can be along wait sometimes as the service is slow. But again, great pizza.

Usually they have reasonably good pizza, but the service is spotty. Went there tonight and the waitress completely forgot about us. Sadly we won't be back. Too many places in Blacksburg with better service and food. read more

Best pizza ever. I will not suffer contradiction. It's fantastic! Service was a little inattentive-- but the place was packed for parents weekend. read more

Food is good, but Avoid if you're over 25 or a family. The college student employees will serve and seat their friends before they will you ( especially at the bar). read more

I have eaten at this location twice now. I do like their pizza and believe spending a little more for it is reasonable. However this previous visit ended with a bit of a surprise. My SO and myself ventured in and decided on Caesar Salads for lunch. The "Reg" size is $6.99 which we felt was reasonable. We both decided on adding chicken to the salad which to both of us seemed like a $2.99 upcharge according to the menu. When we received the bill, apparently the $2.99 upcharge was for the "Lil" size and the "Reg" size was a $4.99 upcharge. We both had not seen $4.99 listed anywhere. The bill total was ~$23 and was over $26 after tax. (Obviously tax is not in MM's control). After tipping a waitress for politeness, waters with no refill (we never needed any), and delivery of our salads, the bill is surely going over $30 for these salads. If you know the price when ordering, there should be no complaints. We just felt a little mislead by the menu's listed upcharge. read more

Been here 2 times in the last month. This visit my pizza came out, we'll not even warm. They apologized and said it sat for a while as a veggie sub was being prepared....??? Last time we were here we had 5 of us and they some how forgot to put my pizza in. Again who does that. Not sure what the deal is but very disappointed in this place. Hope the Roanoke VA location can do better... read more

Really great pizza and terrific service. We came here for lunch, and it was fantastic. Service was beyond excellent. I know that some of our friends have had different experiences on the service at dinner. My recommendation is come for lunch. You won't be disappointed. read more

I reckon I caught them on a bad night. After just over an hour wait to be seated and another hour to get the food, my hoagie was poor quality. Half the bread was very hard and something was burned black. The sandwich had a burned taste & I did not eat it. Half the bread on a second hoagie was sorta hard. The family did enjoy the pizza, but my experience was very poor. One final note - on a Satruday night, the restaurant is loud. read more

Pretty disappointed. I have eaten at the M.M. In Charlottesville and thought it was excellent. Unfortunately this was not the case here. It was not particularly busy but the food took over an hour to arrive. Several items (like the veggie burger) were not available. The pizza was decent. My Greek salad was a bowl of iceberg lettuce, shredded carrots out of a bag and Purple cabbage, with a very thin veneer of finely ground feta cheese and literally one half of an olive. Not a Greek salad by any stretch. We probably won't return to this one unless there are big mprovements. read more

The beer list was pretty extensive, the food was bland, the pizza was over-priced, it took too long, and the parking situation sucks. check out something else in the area read more

Always a fun time with Matt playing trivia! Beer specials are on point. Always a good selection. My favorite item is the pretzel bites. Yum!

This is delicious pizza. I especially love the crust. We had pizza bites as appetizer with marinara and cheese sauce. These are made with the same great dough used for the crust of the pizza with generous parmesan cheese sprinkled on top. Great service and beer selection. read more

Food and beer selection is excellent. The wait when students are in town is usually 1 hour or more. They are also very slow to make and bring food. Giving 4 stars instead of 5 because it's a little too slow and expensive. read more

Posted that they are open until 2am. Went in on Graduation Friday night at 11:15 and they told us they were closing. Really?

They stopped allowing pizza by the slice at lunch and don't even have pizza on the kids menu. I know things have to give as a chain grows but this place stinks for lunch. Don't bother unless you have time to kill. read more

Do not eat here. they discriminate against their employees. over priced, and your food will either come out wrong or burnt. save yourself the trouble. read more

They actually served me a pizza with a totally burned black crust. Maybe thought I was too old to notice! Ugh .

Where do I begin.. first of all it wasn't busy maybe 5 tables of people. Took forever to get the food. Friend ordered a beer took 15 mins to get and we were 4 feet from the bar. The tables surrounding us were covered in the previous customers trash they weren't cleaned up for at least an hour even though tons of employees just walking around chatting and flirting with each other. I actually watched a waitress grab a pizza that was ready and she picked something off of it and flicked it on the floor. Saw another waitress pick her shorts out of her crotch while waiting for a pizza to finish. When the pizzas finally arrived neither were cut.. well I mean they cut thru the cheese I guess. They brought us a coke that tasted like something that you would dump into your car engine. I think I could go on but you get the picture. This is the first restaurant I have ever taken the time to review. That's how bad it was!!! read more

Mellow Mushroom has really good pizza; however, the service is VERY slow. Don't go if you're not ready to wait a long time for your food. I also just find the menu to be overpriced in general. The pizza is great, but overall, it isn't worth it. read more

The service is ALWAYS incredibly slow, whether you come on a weekday or weekend, it never fails to take forever to get yours food. However, the pizza is good, but overpriced. read more

Love this place. Nice new addition to downtown!! Thanks for coming to our town! We love you!!

Great location! On a Sunday evening we were seated quickly, ordered and had a delicious spinach salad to start! The medium white pizza with veggies was a bit pricey but well worth it! Awesome meal! Great service! Will be back! read more

Awesome atmosphere, delicious pizza, all the beers. And our server was great! In the spring it will be awesome to go back for the outdoor seating. Great addition to downtown! read more

Their food is good, but their service is terrible. Would be worth it for cheap food and bad service, but not worth the price to also have bad service. Carry out is not convenient and always leaves you waiting at least 30 minutes, even after arriving after the 35-45 minute timeframe given. read more

This place seems like it's run like a chicken with it's head cutoff after multiple times eating there with my whole family and a few times grabbing a quick bite and drinks with my wife. Long wait times, understaffed, when I complained about a burnt pizza the manager, I believe his name was Ben was running the food (while overhearing one of the few servers there saying that he never does that, he really should not be with his terrible service and attitude), was very rude and blamed it on the restaurant being understaffed...not to mention hearing him cursing from the kitchen when I had my children with me. Totally unaccountable and being understaffed as a manager sounds like a personal problem. I will no longer be spending any money at this establishment despite their awesome beer selection and bartenders. read more
