Overall some of the best pizza in Columbus, GA. Which is hard to compare because they have papa John's which is known for the best pizza from New York. I would recommend you get a large pie pepperoni and mushroom. read more

Pizza was good, beer was cold... but took a loooooong time. Would go back, just might try tk get there earlier next time.

Food is good. Flies flying through dining room are a nuisance. Bathroom needs improvement. Not very clean and toilet is broken. Another stall is out of order. Highly suggest fans throughout the restaurant to keep flies out of food and faces. No dates listed for events posted. Time to receive food was delayed. read more

Seriously not sure where to begin besides we will NEVER go back. Placed a to go order, my first indication that it was going to be a disaster was when the "manager" didn't know if they were serving burgers or not. We went to pick up our order, asked several times if everything was in the bag and was assured each time it was (my bad for not double checking right there). Get home and find out that one of our salads was missing along with all the chips for the meals. The burger was a nasty mess, cheese all over, the caramelized onions that were supposed to be on the burger were non existent, the bacon was so under cooked it was inedible. When we called about the missing items the girl who answered the phone put me on hold without saying anything and someone else who identified himself as the "manager" picked up the line. Every time I spoke he would interrupt and tell me his was "assessing the situation" after this went on for about 5 minutes with no apology or a way that he would rectify the situation I put my husband on the phone to which the manager told him he would reverse the charge for the salad, however it was never done. After spending almost $70 at this establishment and to be treated with the rudeness & disrespect like I was my family has opted to not go back. It's sad because the service we receive at the Auburn store is outstanding but the Columbus store has basically turned us away from Mellow Mushroom. read more

Too gooey and sloppy ! You have to wait too long, and bringing up these issues to the staff is most unwelcome. No response solicited from the business. This is just the way it is for me at this business. read more

Probably one of my favorites calzone places. Food sometimes takes a while, but it is delicious. I had the meat lovers calzone. read more

Very delicious pizza! Great atmosphere at the restaurant. TV's turned to sports channels, lots of families, and chattering. Full bar. Bartender mixed some yummy drinks. While I waited for my order I sat at the bar and had some drinks and watched the game on tv. Very fun place. Took the pizza back to my motel and it was delicious! Before I left, I asked for Parmesan, crushed red pepper, plates, and napkins- staff supplied all with no complaints. Also order some garlic cheese bread to eat while I waited and it was warm and ooie gooey yummy! Highly recommend whether you dine in or take out. No delivery btw. Lots of choices for pizzas. I had to just close my eyes and pick one! Lol. read more

I had an issue with a pickup order but was quickly resolved by Mellow staff Ross and William. Thank you for reaching out and making things right for me and my wife. read more

There's really no better choice for pizza in Columbus. I've been to several Mellow Mushrooms (Asheville, NC, Orlando, FL and here in Columbus) and the one in Columbus isn't as nice inside as the others, but the pizza is just as good. Mellow Mushroom has a great choice of gourmet style pizza as well as regular pies. The gourmet pizzas are a bit pricey, but if you get a cheese or pepperoni the prices are just as good (or better) than one of the national delivery chains. A large pepperoni is about $16. My favorite gourmet is the buffalo chicken. The pizzas are made with quality ingredients are very tasty and filling. Mellow Mushroom has other items on their menu, but I've never ordered anything but pizza so I can't comment on them. Mellow Mushroom has a full service bar and one of the best beer selections in town. They have plenty of micro brews, including Fat Tire by New Belgium brewery in Fort Collins, CO. If you want good pizza, then this is place that you need to dine. I've tried many of the others in town and none of them even come close. read more

Best beer selection in the area, which isn't sayin much. Yet, I am still surprised and more than contented tab the selection: Oaked Bastard, 60 Minute, Two Hearted, Dead Guy, and a rotating Clown Shoes of all breweries. Pizza is the foods to get, skip the rest. Hoagies are decent and the like, but this is a creative pie place so do it right. Buffalo is spot on with heat and flavor; def go with blue cheese, too. Thai Dye exemplifies Asian fusion with its chili sauce and cukes on board. Note: it's a heartier, chewier crust more like homemade than NY style. I'm not a pie purist, though, so that's fine by me. 4.5/5 on beer 4/5 on pizza 3/5 on other foods (hoagies, salads, etc) 3.5/5 on service (decent for the area and friendly) read more

I have been to this Mellow Mushroom 3 times now and I have enjoyed every visit. The last two times I have been, Brooke has been our server. She is friendly, attentive, and just plain cool. Service is really the main reason we return to most places. My wife and I can never agree on pizza but MM let's you split it easy as can be. Substitution or changes? No problem. Great beer selection as well. Not sure why there are bad reviews, but this is a quality restaurant with quality people and you'll enjoy your time there. Thanks! read more

Went here with a friend for pizza. Place was clean and empty, it was after 930pm, we didn't mind it being empty. The waitress, April, such an AMAZING personality!! She made our night!! We had a medium pizza, plenty for two with a big appetite, my half had basil, pineapple, and a few more ingredients. It was deeeelish! 2 lices of my pizza fell on the floor by accident. The manager had a small made for me right away. It was even better than my original one. Will definitely be back! read more

What I am going to say is blasphemous for a Jersey Girl in Italian-restaurant-central to say. This is some of the best pizza I have ever had, and I don't even usually go for specialty pizza, let alone a chain restaurant with 1960s crazy pothead psychedelic murals on the walls. Service was great, food &ambience was awesome, price was fair, and I have been craving it ever since the one time I was in town to try it. A weird thing happened on the way out though.. There was a dying stickbug that somehow slid into my sandal as I walked out to my car. And since then, I have associated giant scary bugs violating my personal boundaries with Mellow Mushroom. Diners, fear not. I didn't see any evidence of anything but cleanliness INSIDE the restaurant. I wish I had a Mellow Mushroom near me. :( If you haven't tried this place yet, you're missing out. read more

I wouldn't have expected a chain featuring drug-related innuendo to be founded in Atlanta, and it seems even more out of place in Columbus, but there's not a lot of good pizza places in the city, so Mellow Mushroom sorta wins by default. I won't dwell too much on the pizza itself, because you can find the same product at any of their 120+ locations aside from mentioning that there's a lot of crust, the garlic and maybe onion powder they mix in with the cornmeal to dust the underside of the crust reminds me of Chex Mix, and the toppings, while fairly high-quality, are pretty over the top in terms of quantity. Staff-wise, they're about what you would expect from a restaurant entitled "Mellow Mushroom". It took the bartender a solid five minutes to notice I sat down, and that included two trips to the glass station right in front of me. Other trips revealed other staffers to be not nearly as aloof, though there's still that uncomfortably casual feeling that's a little off-putting. But the beer selection's good, so they got that going for them. read more

Ok...I AM upgrading this to 3 stars. Their beer selection is too good and after eating there again last night the Magical Mystery Tour Pizza is too die for. Olive oil/Pesto Sauce, spinach, mozz & feta cheese, portabella shrooms. Damn good but the below does still follow.... On taste alone I would have given it 3 stars but the other factors are too bad to miss: 1. Top dollar pizza. I ordered a large specialty. A portabella mush app., and a beer. My total with a tip was almost $40.00. YUK! 2. The place was cramped and the bar tender was annoying and trying way to hard to be cool/liked. 3. Great beer selection! 4. The decor is cool and artistic but lacks originality. Good pizza.....but not that good $$$$. read more

Mellow Mushroom is a busy place, at least on Saturdays. We went and sat around the bar, and had no problem getting waited on or seating. The bar seemed to be used for mostly game watching and people waiting for their take-out orders. The restaurant food must be well liked, because there were a lot of to-go orders in my opinion. As far as our service, there were two bartenders that did a great job checking on us throughout the meal, as well as offering drink suggestions. I recommend the Fat Tire beer on tap. The meal was also really good. I had the mystery tour pizza (pesto base with mushroom) and my friend had the buffalo chicken. Both were well made and had good taste. However, be prepared to wait. If you are looking for a quick meal, you will not find it here. Since we were watching the game mostly, it didn't matter. Overall, I am a fan of this Mellow Mushroom. It is the 6th I've been to, and one of my better memories of my meals there. I recommend it to anyone looking for some specialty pizza with time to wait. read more

The decor is off-putting and trippy, but what would one expect? We were seated and our order was taken promptly, but not without that attitude of "I don't want to be here today, I am inconvenienced that you were seated in my section." Somewhere between the cooks shouting our server's name (Sam), no one else getting seated, and Sam standing around talking to another coworker we figured our food was up and was just sitting. Eventually the cook called for a food runner and MIRACULOUSLY it was on our table less than 30 seconds later. The pizza was o.k., but not my favorite. The dough is wonderfully soft and chewy but the sauce and pesto combination was acidic enough to keep my mouth feeling raw for the rest of the day. A fantastic craft beer selection only goes so far. I wouldn't recommend it, but I would take it as a last resort read more

I have visited this restaurant on several occasions and ordered on line once. Always get house pizza. It is very good. Really not able to visit often because of the prices. Service is good. Noise sometimes a bit loud when busy. Order ahead on line if you do not want to wait. read more

Why people eat here is a constant surprise. And a dissapointment. Everytime I'm dragged here, I always hope it will be better - and that minimal expectation is never ever met. I always leave feeling like I was soaked in a vat of grease. read more

I've only been here twice because I'm not a local but the Mellow Mushroom is on my list of places to go every time I'm able to get to Columbus. My favorite is the all meat pizza. Waiters are a little slow but the food makes up for it! read more

We were going to be getting there late on a Friday evening after settling horses in at Popular Place Farm and a long drive and day. We called in a dine-in order ahead of time. Our food came right away and we were grateful! Bruschetta was great! Pizza good and hot and the planned big order left plenty left over pizza for lunch at the horse show the next day. Wish they would toss their Cesar salads in dressing and not serve it on the side. We always forget this and keep ordering it...just not so great that way. Our fourth one-time-per-year visit. Consistently good....keeps us coming back. read more

Pizza is good. App (artichoke and spinach dip) wasn't so we sent it back but the server was nice about it. Good beer selection! read more

Mellow Mushroom Columbus - Philosophers pie - Pizza Near Me - Columbus, Georgia

We went ahead and tried the Holy Shiitake Pie because of the icon on the menu (guessing it was one of their top pizzas). Now, it is a vegetarian pie... but it was AMAZING! Pizza was light with a olive oil and garlic base. It was topped with a variety of mushrooms (shiitake, portabello, & button) mozzarella cheese, caramelized onions and black truffle oil. It all paired so well with each other. The service was great with our party..very friendly. Will definitely be back! read more

This was our first time at this mellow mushroom and the staff, including the manager, was super nice along with the food being really good. The only downside to the night was the food took a pretty good amount of time to be served. read more

Really not my kind of pizza place. As a native New Yorker, I am loyal to a specific type of pizza: thin crust, minimal toppings, a simplicity that emphasizes the quality and taste of the pizza. The fiance, on the other hand, was born in and spent a good deal of his childhood in Chicago. To him, the more toppings the better. He found Mellow Mushroom to be a treasure in Columbus where, admittedly, there are not many pizza restaurant options to begin with. Plus, he's a big beer drinker and I understand there is a very extensive beer menu here. So my tastes are a little biased because of where I'm from. We got the House Special, which was LOADED with meat. They threw in pretty much every meat topping they had and then some. I was so overwhelmed that while eating I started to pick off random things off of my pizza like peppers and olives in an effort to make a slightly plainer pizza. I did enjoy the crust, which was soft and sprinkled with Parmesan. And you do get a lot of food with your order. One might wonder why I did not get a plain Cheese pizza instead. I don't think the prices here would justify a plain pizza, especially when you can get a very decent cheese slice for $1 back in my 'hood, and a whole pie for $8. read more

My husband and I dined here yesterday, the service was really good, our server was very attentive and friendly. However the food was disappointing. We ordered the meatballs and they came out cold in the center, cooked thru but cold, which leads me to believe they use frozen meatballs which is fine but they should be heated thoroughly. We politely sent them back to be heated. We didn't request a new order be made, just that they heat our order. They decided to make us a new order. In the meantime our pizzas came out, so we got the meal before the appetizer. My husband had the house pizza, which was good and hot. I had the Holy shittake, it was room temperature at best when it came out and it was a soggy mess, I couldn't even pick it up because it fell apart. I had to eat it with a fork. Something about cold meatballs and room temperature pizza just doesn't do it for me. Maybe I'm asking for too much because I like my food served hot. By the time the meatballs came out, I was over the whole mess and ready to leave so we just packed them up to go, I only had one slice of my $13.00 small pizza and didn't eat the rest. I doubt we will be back. It's too bad because the drinks were good and our server was great. read more

Used the Waitr app to order carry out App was great Mellow Mushroom was a disaster Over an hour wait for the food and confusion over the order then the food was cold We tried to be super courteous and understanding Until the line cook was nasty and rude to the staff I'm happy to see businesses super busy and don't Mind the wait for good food Food was sub par and cook was rude We know they can do better Hope they do for other customers in the future read more

Mellow Mushroom Columbus - Pizza Near Me - Columbus, Georgia

I was told that this place was good by family who live in the area, but after reading reviews I was skeptical. Let me tell you, though, that the pizza here is incredible (and I'm from New York)! We got the Holy shitake, bbq chicken, and gourmet white pies and they were all amazing. Our family's go-to is the shitake with the sauce you get with it (and it was fantastic), but my favorite was the bbq chicken. The atmosphere is pretty casual but much bigger than I anticipated. They have a bar and a lot of tables. I expected it to be a small pizza place with speciality pies but this looked like a large chain restaurant. I'm excited to go back here next time I'm in Colombus! read more

So the pizza here is ALWAYS awesome. The wait time for the awesome pizza is not so awesome. You can expect an average of about 30 minutes for your food. I usually get the Greek salad before my meal. It's delicious! (Maybe 20 min on that) The staff for the most part is really friendly, twice out of several times we have gotten a less than friendly server. They do have drink specials on different nights of the week. Trivia is fun there. I love the Guinness and cider blend. Id never tried anything like it and now it's a must! They also have pretty cheap lunch specials- $6.99 for a choose 2: slice of pizza, salad, cheesy bread, or soup I believe it was...Drink included. I will say, I've been to several Mellows and this one is decorated poorly. Looks like an old Chucky Cheese or something. Wasn't expected the first time I went in is all. read more

Got here at 6:00 on 12/20/21 for a friends giving party. We all ordered food at 6:15-6:20ish. Pizza came out before salads. wings were ordered and came to the table at 7:35, cold wings at that. The tater tots tasted like they came out of a microwave. Make sure you order 3 beers at a times because it will take 20 minutes to get another one. read more

Just not good @ all. The place is over kill & looks like it's trying to hard. I thought I'd take my tween son in for a special lunch. It was edible, not good & I'll never return. The staff was very nice & nothing was actually wrong with our food. read more

I feel like the service at the Hickory Mellow Mushroom is a bit hit or miss. I have eaten there several times, at both busy and slow times. I have never had a problem with my order during lunch (they are never too busy at this time) but I have had issues during a rush. The last time I went an entire person's order was not put into the system by our server. They were very apologetically when my party member's food did not arrive with ours, and ended up giving him his food complimentary. However instead of rushing his order, his was put at the end of the line so to speak. It was another 20-30 minutes before he received his sandwich. Personally I feel as though his order should have been rushed. As far as the food goes, I've never had a problem. It always tastes delicious and they have a variety of inventive pizzas that was lacking from the typical pick-up pizza chains that Hickory had to offer prior to Mellow Mushroom's opening. read more

Excellent customer service....these are one of the most friendliest places to eat/drink in Columbus. Jasmine is really nice and attentive. She comes by just enough...not like other places that's slow to bring everything yet once you get it they come around every second and ask how is everything when you haven't even had a chance to enjoy it. Good is good, fresh and made to order. No matter what time of the day I'm here...I'm always pleased. read more

They sat us in the back corner to make us comfortable since we both had our kids with us. Our waiter was so polite & funny! The food was amazing! I had a hoagie sandwich that was stuffed so much that all the toppings kept falling off! I highly recommend this place & will be eating there again! read more
