    Southwestern Chicken Salad
    Monica G.

    I went here last night for the first time and really enjoyed myself. The parking lot is tiny, can maybe hold 20 cars or so but there's a parking garage directly across the street. We told the waiter it was our first time and he gave some suggestions. I ended up ordering the Southwestern chicken salad and the mighty meaty pizza. The salad was so DELICIOUS and the chicken was very flavorful and tender. The pizza was also very delicious and the crust had amazing flavor! The manager ended up coming to our table to introduce himself and thank us for coming in. Everyone was very nice, the place was very clean, and even the bathroom smelled amazing lol. Definitely going back!

    Will definitely miss their presence in the downtown Decatur neighborhood. Pizza was good, service was decent, and drinks were strong.

    The Holy Shitake Pizza with Garlic Parmesan Wings and Blue Cheese!
    Ahmad W.

    First time ever eating Mellow Mushroom Pizza was years ago on my job. They ordered several for safety achievements and I remember the pizzas being on the table not hot kind of warm when we arrived to taste and eat the pizza. After a different time I ordered a pizza from the same location in Tucker GA the area my job is located in the pizza was okay. I grew up on Pizza Hut so the pizza I received didn't blow my socks off I felt it was nothing to write home about. After that experience I didn't go back to the location for pizza. I really wanted to see what was the hype about this place and was I missing something. I drove past the Decatur GA location and I remember it being packed all of the time. I saw that they recently closed for renovations and opened back up. I looked at the menu on Uber Eats and I saw The Holy Shitake pizza.. I like mushrooms on pizza they taste good to me delicious and they are good for your mood. The presentation of the pizza is spectacular and I got blue cheese with some garlic parmesan wings oven baked I think I saw that. This is night and day my experience from the previous location. I know that this is a Atlanta GA staple since 1974. I was skeptic about the restaurant pizza before this time. The flavor and the taste of this pizza is delicious. They truly made a believer out of me! Instead of getting a hand tossed crust pizza I got a thin crust pizza which I enjoy because to me you taste the toppings more and the crust is not just a lot of dough. I got my pizza on 12-18-2025 it's worth it no disappointment! Pull up and check them out if you are unable use Uber Eats.

    Couldn't find parking to go to the imperial pig restaurant so I came here

    Lively, mellow mushroom atmosphere which I enjoy. Was in the house! I was greeted warmly and was served nicely at the bar. Unfortunately, what I ordered was not hot. I had the meatballs which comes with cheese sauce and basil flakes. It looks great but it's wasn't hot. I complained about it, but I was hungry and I was really supposed to have dinner at some Iberian pig place but couldn't find parking. Per you "make another plate" so I just ate that. I probably won't order it again unless I know it's hot.

    The food was delicious. Now it did take too long for our apps to arrive....literally 20-30 wait. Not happy about that, we actually thought they forgot about us. But we order pretzel bites & spinach dip. And they were good. Then our pizzas arrived 15 mins later. The math wasn't matching on the time it took for our overall orders. Service: Jacob was AWESOME. He apologized for the wait and was on it for all our needs. Overall surroundings were amazing. We sat outside on this bright, sunny, Georgia humid day and we loved it.

    I dont remember the names of these drinks

    This was our 2nd attempt to come here at this particular location. The 1st time was busy and they advised they aren't seating ppl. Okay cool. This time its a 30 minute wait. I looked around and saw empty booths but okay. Im hungry so we decide to wait. Our server was a nice young lady & very helpful. I mentioned it was my 1st time here so I wasn't sure what to try. I decided on a hoagie because when I saw it I immediately thought of some good hoagies from Philly. He ordered a house special meaty pizza (gluten free) and wings. I tried a slice and it was good. It was so much on it I barely noticed the mushrooms i don't like. My hoagie wasn't what I expected. It was good but not what I was looking for. I had a strawberry drink which i don't recall the name of it. The strawberries they topped it off with were good n fresh. I wish i had more of them. The drink i cant really comment on because it came with a paper straw. Paper straws ruins everything. Overall I didn't get the hype of this franchise and more than likely wont return.

    Burnt -charred pizza delivered to my home on Tuesday, Dec 31st. I will alert the local inspectors about this incident.

    I ordered a pizza via Uber Eats and it arrive burnt, and charred. There's obviously no one checking on the quality of the food before it leaves the restaurant.

    Loved the ambiance, my pizza was burnt but overall, we enjoyed the experience. Better than usual chain pizza places for sure.

    The cheesy bread here is not as good as the other MM's. Low on cheese. They should've called it "kinda cheesy bread".

    Finally got around to trying this place after it was recommended to me multiple times since 2021. I…read moredon't know why it took me so long to this place is worth it. The service was 10/10. The ambiance is cute. The bread service is some of the best I've ever had. And the cocktails are fire. Had the lemon chicken at the advice of our waitress and it was incredible. The pasta was great. Cesar salad solid. Wine list strong. Can't say enough.

    I was wondering why so many people had either recently left poor reviews or had downgraded their…read moreprevious reviews, and after my most recent visit I unfortunately understand why. Something has completely changed about this spot. It used to be one of my favorites, a nice moderately priced sit-down Italian restaurant tucked away in downtown Decatur. Maybe they've grown too big for their britches as we southerners say, but this most recent visit was likely my last. Staff attitudes were terrible, the execution of the food was a joke. My siblings and I had hyped this restaurant up to our mom and thought she would enjoyed being wined and dined. We arrived admittedly about 10 minutes after our reservation time (thanks to the city of Decatur's hostile parking policies), after attempting to call the restaurant and let them know we were circling the building. I say attempting because the number rings straight to an AI voice that doesn't allow you to speak once it asks you a question. I even tried sending messages through the OpenTable app. Either way, the restaurant claims you have a 15 minute grace period. Once we finally walked inside, my sister leaned over and whispered that their posted food inspection score was a low B. We exchanged glances but figured maybe they were inspected on an off day. The host (once she finally stopped avoiding eye contact with us) spontaneously let us know that since we weren't on time, we would be "getting a table in the back by the kitchen". What an odd policy to announce to your patrons that you're going to be punishing them with bad seating. The table was indeed by the kitchen but given how many tables this restaurant has tried to cram into the dining room, none of them are spectacular. I looked around and saw folks at tables bumping into the ones next to them, that's how tightly everyone is seated. Our server was friendly enough, and was able to recommend some good dishes. Word to the wise, while they bring bread to the table, it's one half-slice per person. We learned the hard way (because our server never mentioned it) that asking for more bread (the exact same amount as before mind you) is $7. You could buy a freshly baked loaf for that price. The actual food was fine, not bad but nothing like we've had in the past. It arrived fairly quickly. Where the dinner continued nosediving was when my sister, after seeing that we all had ordered small side dishes of pasta, decided she'd like to order some as well. By small side dish, I mean a fistful in a soup cup. I add that detail because when she asked the server, the server stated it would be AT LEAST a 20 minute wait. We asked her to repeat herself because surely we heard that wrong, right? 20 minutes for spaghetti?! She left for a few minutes, then came back and said her manager confirmed that even if she asked the kitchen to rush it, the soonest would be 18 minutes. You see a pattern here right? This restaurant seems like they relish letting their customers know who's in charge...and here's a hint reader, it's not you. Where the evening actually became appalling was a result of our closeness to the kitchen. They have a sous chef working dining room-adjacent doing the final dish prep before the food is picked up by the runners. I know kitchens usually don't utilize gloves (the whole, hands can be frequently washed but the same pair of gloves will touch multiple surfaces thing). However this gentleman unabashedly practiced some of the worst cross contamination practices I've ever seen. He'd grabbed fistfuls of Parmesan cheese to garnish a plate, then reach in his pocket for his phone. Then he'd arrange leaves of lettuce for salad, then TOUCH HIS HAIR. We watched him on two occasions have, either family friends or familiar patrons, walk up to him excitedly and he'd hug them and shake their hands and pat their shoulders, and once done would immediately grab forks and knives and spoons by their business ends, squeeze lemons, slice bread, fist the cheese container....absolutely disgusting and completely explains the health inspection score. If anything it should have been lower. We were only 5 feet away from the guy and he made eye contact with us several times so it's not like he was embarrassed. A long haired woman came over a few times and did the same as him, though she did put black gloves on once or twice. To top it off, once we received the check was we saw plenty of upcharges and surcharges that our server neglected to tell us she would be adding, so her tip reflected her oversight. To wrap it up, not only is the service and food not worth the price, but this place is actually unhygienic. Unless they change their practices, you're eating here at your own risk. Wish Yelp was like IG and I could @ the health department....
