    Pepperoni and  meatball pizza
    Abigail W.

    This was our first time at Mellow Mushroom -- I know, we're a little late to the party! We ordered a pepperoni and meatball pizza, our go-to when trying a new place, and it did not disappoint. The pizza came out fast, piping hot, and absolutely delicious. The atmosphere was fun and welcoming, and our server was A+ -- super friendly and on top of everything. Between the great service and tasty food, we're already looking forward to coming back!

    Garlic Cheese Bread

    My mom used to bring me and my siblings here as kids so while I'm the area I went ahead and placed an order for my family and I so they could give my childhood a try! They absolutely loved it and we will definitely be back to actually sit in the restaurant. The only reason I am giving this restaurant 4 stars is because the bathrooms smell disgusting and seems like they need new pipes or an overall makeover for the restrooms at least. Other than that everything else was amazing!

    Gluten free Great White pizza
    Suzanne T.

    Yummmmmmm!!!! We love this pizza spot! We don't live super close but anytime we are in the Carmel area, we make an effort to stop here, either for eat-in or takeout. The service is always very friendly and the food is ALWAYS amazing. We try to come early in the day before it is really busy and as we walk in, we are always greeted and offered to seat ourselves wherever we'd like. Our favorite is The Great White. On this last visit, we got a gluten free and a regular Great White. I was pretty impressed with the GF pizza. The other awesome thing is their soda mix. They serve Coke products and the mix is always fantastic.

    Mad Italian
    Cynthia S.

    Mellow Mushroom has it figured out and is is the best pizza you can get! I'm hooked, I admit it. It's baked on a stone to perfection leaving the crust just right. Using fresh ingredients brings pizza to a different level. Had the monthly special "Mad Italian" and the House Special" Pizzas that met my craving and now it's on my mind everyday, both were so good. The mad Italian starts with an Olive oil and garlic base topped with mozzarella, salami, ham, onion, roasted red peppers, pepperoncini and sprinkled with parmesan cheese, a great combo that will definitely satisfy your taste buds The house special has pepperoni, sausage, ground beef, ham, bacon, mushrooms, olives, tomatoes, peppers, and onions with a red sauce base. Oh, and we started with the pretzel bites w beer butter Parmesan cheese. It's a nice sized order that comes out piping hot with crispy edges and pillowy soft centers! Now you see what I mean. Just go see, you will love it. I keep pizza dreaming. Haha. The place has a lot to look at with their unique decor and the booth is comfy, with ample space. Service was top notch-we had a very attentive but not bothersome server. I'd give more stats if I could. Excellent!

    Pepperoni and Black Olive Pizza
    Mollie M.

    What a neat spot! Lots of fun decor and art on the walls. It was very busy, but service speed was still good. We got a medium pepperoni and black olive pizza which was perfect for two people, but if you want leftovers, I suggest a large one. We were so hungry and the pizza was so good that I forgot to take a before picture. The pizza was on the greasier side. I will note that we had asked for it to be thin crust, yet I did not notice a difference between our crust and our friend's normal medium pizza crust. Oh well, it still tasted good. Their sweet tea was amazing too.

    Holy Shiitake this pie is amazing!!
    Sable S.

    First time eating at Mellow Mushroom in Carmel and we were pleased to learn it was the same delicious experience that we have always had when eating at other locations on vacation! The Holy Shiitake small pizza was absolutely fantastic!! Great flavor and bubbly rise on crust and very tasty and clever toppings. The cheese bread was great and just crispy enough and my boyfriend's Italian sandwich was same excellent taste he's always had in Gatlinburg! Fun dining room setting full of color and quirky theming, nice outdoor seating area, good beer, cocktail and mocktail offerings and friendly service. Excited to get back and try the vegan cheese next time (they were out today)!

    Drove 30 minutes to this kind of a welcome! Thanks for nothing.
    Greg G.

    Drove 30 minutes for this kind of a welcome. This is no way to run a business. Have your meetings after hours and serve your customers during posted hours.

    Bruschetta
    Sai P.

    Had dinner here and everything was delicious! The different textures of the bruschetta and Kosmic Karma pizza made me happy that we got both items on the menu, but they tasted very similar so I'll get one over the other next time (hard to choose between them though!) It did take some time for a server to come over, which had us waiting to order for a while. But our server was kind, and the interior decor was fun, vibrant, and interesting to look at as we talked and ate

    Cool, large mushroom at entrance
    Wanda M.

    We'd never been to Mellow Mushroom until a few weeks ago when 8 of us went for dinner. The interior has a funky, 60's vibe with cute decor. A large mushroom by the front door and a VW Microbus creates a hippie motif. We were concerned about how quickly our food would arrive with 8 people. It turns out we were worried needlessly. Our server was great, and drinks arrived quickly with timely refills. The pizzas and sandwiches were delivered together so everyone could eat with each other and share yummy pizza slices. The menu offers salads (Bacon Blue Wedge), pretzel bites, spinach dip, wings, and Bruschetta. All I could make a meal of. Of course, you can create your own pizza, select gluten or vegan free, order one of the specialty pizzas, or modify any existing pizza. A few of the pizzas that caught my eye were the Holy Shiitake and Funky Q. Chicken. I ordered the Kosmic Karma pizza covered with red sauce, spinach, roasted tomatoes, fresh Roma tomatoes, mozzarella, and crumbled sheep's milk feta cheese plus applewood-smoked bacon. The toppings were fresh with generous portions of each ingredient and a chewy crust. The bacon was my favorite topping and not overcooked. My next pizza will be the Pacific Rim or Veg Out and add the apple-smoked bacon. My husband ordered the Burger and Fries and said it wasn't memorable. This was a fun trip with the group, and I would recommend it to anyone who enjoys pizzas and salads.

    Pepperoni
    Sharon K.

    Ordered a large pepperoni and large Pacific Rim without jalapeños and a brownie. Not gonna lie, price was a bit steep $53. But the large was bigger than I expected so it made up for it. Service was super friendly when I picked it up. She showed me the pizzas and noticed one was a bit smooshed so asked if I wanted to get it fixed or something but I told her it was fine. Ordering online and pick up in store was easy, plenty of parking available. Flavors and the texture of the crust are great. I just wish it was closer to home so I could make it a regular spot. Btw the brownie is rich and yummy too.

    I used to go there a lot but stopped when it seemed their cleanliness standards weren't mine. Any thoughts on that, good or bad?

    Last time I was there I found a bug in my salad and a hair in my pizza so I agree with you. The locations in Florida (where I first learned about MM) were much, much cleaner.

The menu has a few unique sandwiches that make good use of the butcher's meat. Prices are reasonable. My husband had the Debris Po' Boy Sandwich, served hot. He loved his sandwich with a generous portion of beef, lettuce and tomato. I had the Grand Palace Salad, which was huge. The chicken was marinated in a Thai sauce and was a tad dry. The rest of the salad was fresh with snow peas, cherry tomatoes and mandarins orange. My friend had the meatball sandwich, which looked awesome. The sandwich was huge and shareable. (I'm getting that next time.) The clerks were friendly and helpful. The dining area is roomy and great for conversation. Restrooms were available. There is a dedicated parking lot behind the building or street parking in front.

The sandwich was prepared amazingly quickly and double wrapped in deli paper. The ingredients were fresh and the bread was soft. There was a little dressing on the sandwich. The cheese and tomato were cut so thin, they were translucent. But there was plenty of meat on the sub and it was filling. The sub was good, but didn't leave me craving another soon. The servers are friendly and efficient. They have 5-6 tables to eat inside and the dining area is clean.
