Hey I was there earlier tonight for trivia and accidentally left my sunglasses (oakleys with orange red lenses in a blue bag). Tried to call but you were already closed by the time I realized my mistake. Can you reach out and let me know if anyone turned them in? Thanks for your help. Update: a week later back for trivia and my faith in humanity is restored. Glasses were turned in I have them in my pocket. Nice job MM! read more

We sat a long time before even being brought a menu or offered drinks. The sweet tea is good. It's loud inside. The seating is ample. The staff is nice and friendly just not Johnny on the spot. We got a pepperoni pizza. Its center was puddled with grease. It was just ok. We also got a Greek salad. Not much to write home about, hard to mess up a Greek salad. Someone in our party ordered the salad that had strawberries and pineapples and they were out of strawberries. They did substitute dried cherries instead, and our friend was thrilled with the salad. read more

We are visiting from SoCal where pizza joints are a dime a dozen. We picked Mellow Mushroom because of my daughter's celiac disease. Our server, Alex, was awesome. Super attentive & helpful with the GF menu. We ordered 3 pies- the Thai dye, mighty meaty & a build your own GF with misc stuff on it. My daughter's GF was the best she's ever had (and GF pizza is plentiful in California so this is huge). The Thai dye is a great original pizza with a Thai curry feel, I'd highly recommend. The mighty meaty was pretty yummy too. Food came out quick & hot and all the employees were friendly & welcoming. We felt like locals. This will be a go to place when we visit again. read more

Food takes years to come out. Don't come here if ur super hungry cause they won't bring ur food out til ur dying of starvation

Smells like a bathroom and is hot as hell. Pizza was ok, server was nice, love delivery from here but will never eat at the restaurant again. read more

Awesome pizza... The pretzel bites are to die for... The staff is curtieous and super nice... I highly recommend

Located right by the university and a local favorite. Consistent good service and food... can't beat the happy hour prices!

I'm not a huge fan of chain food and avoid it like COVID. This joint is a major exception to that. I absolutely love this place and have been loving The Mushroom from Murfreesboro, TN; Southlake, and now Denton. The toppings are incredibly fresh and generous. The crust you'll want to eat all by itself. I never deviate from the House Special which offers a good combination of protein and veggies. I want to try some of the others but just always seem to get the same House pie every time no matter what city I'm in. The spinach artichoke dip is just stupid delicious and worth every calorie. It's a be'chamel sauce with loads of mild white cheeses, spinach, and chopped artichokes-served with perfectly seasoned crostini. My food arrived in less than 10 minutes and was right from the oven. Each store has a particular and quirky theme. Denton has a Moroccan/Texan theme with really cozy booths, great lighting, and colors. There's a really cool looking craft bar also. The music piped in from Spotify (Cool Vibes Lo-fi study....) set a really cool laid back chill vibe today. This is a cool spot for a serious date, a playdate, or a solo date--either one! GM Tori is very kind and welcoming, making it obvious that her team is in sync with her expectations. The staff is way cool and accommodating, as my server was attentive and personable. Attitude reflects leadership and its obvious here. Go Tori! I love those Christmas lights! read more

The pizza was so good! Kind of pricey, but so worth it. I will definitely be back here again sometime soon.

Conclusion: for gluten free pizza forget this place. You would be much better off going up to University to the Italian sounding competitor starting with M. . Pros: good atmosphere. Nice decor. Salad was good. . Cons: the GF pizza was soggy and the toppings were cold. Even had it been hot the crust was not very good. The service while friendly was rushed. read more

Server was pretty chill and friendly. I got the cloud 9 wings and buffalo chicken pizza, my goodness. Both were amazing! The crust is just so well crafted too, I was shocked. Highly recommend! read more

MM never disappoints! Any item I've had is fantastic! I love a little slice and a side salad or a whole pizza to share with friends. THE crust is perfect and never soggy. Toppings are fresh, service is great, and groovy atmosphere. The new menu design is soooo cute!! The happy hour is Monday - Friday 3- 6 1/2 priced appetizers and 1/2 priced drinks read more

First time coming to this restaurant, and really enjoyed the food here! The service was slow, but the servers were very friendly. Definitely coming back! read more

Mellow Mushroom - Holy Shiitake - Pizza Near Me - Denton, Texas

We went here for date night and were disappointed in the food and waiter. First the waiters seemed to careless about being at work tonight. Second, they drop my pizza and had to remake it. My boyfriend potato pizza was missing bacon. When brought to the server he didn't know the pizza had bacon but he would check. He drop off bacon pieces without saying anything. Third, we had to flag down another waitress to get our checks and she sent the manger over to talk to us about the pizza mix up. While the manger was very nice and removed my boyfriend pizza from the bill. I think they need to do some staff retraining. I've bring a server in my younger days, it's not an easy job but no matter if you are having a bad day, you do what you much to keep your customers happy with in reason. I wish this business well but for now we won't be back. read more

Over the years, I have sadly lamented as MM have closed all over the North Texas area. Today, I really get it. Came to the Denton MM after jury duty. My wings were soggy and had a super gummy skin! Gross! I took them to go because I have an air fryer at home and can fix it. My pizza: half meat, half Buffalo chicken. Meat = good Chicken = rubber chicken from my worst convention + some Buffalo sauce on a pizza. It's like all the other ingredients we're missing. Just. No. My first 3 picks for beer drafts were "out." Dear management. I'm your $40/pp. Legit. What. A. Failure. Only saving grace is the wait staff. They're kind and work hard. read more

Good: pizza was okay and bartender was cool. Bad: $300+ check and worst waiter I've ever had. You guy that seemed super inconvenienced by having to help us. Rarely came by so we wound up getting most of our drinks by going to the bar. About 1/3 of our food had to be take to-go because it was 30-40 minutes behind all the pizza. Salads were wrong, wings were mushy and cold. If our waiter didn't suck so bad, I think 3.5 stars would be right. But he was terrible. We still tipped good because I couldn't bring myself to do what he deserved. There are soooo many better places to go than this. If they don't get it together with the wait staff, their days are numbered. Peter: the 20 top wouldn't be a problem if you knew how to run a restaurant. Good luck. We won't be back. read more

We stopped by the Mellow Mushroom to get a bite to eat before going to listen to some jazz across the street! My husband and I sat at the bar, our favorite place to sit. The restaurant is spacious and nice and clean! We were greeted immediately by our amazing bartender Mason! He has a great personality and was very attentive! His partner in crime, the other bartender, Nioaka, was also very sweet and attentive. We started with my chardonnay and my husband had titos with a splash of sprite. Drinks were perfect!! I ordered the Ceasar salad and it was very good. My husband ordered the oven baked hot wings and they were very good! They come in several flavors. Then we ordered a medium half mighty meat and half veg out pizza, it was delicious, plenty for 2! We ordered my son a gluten free kosmic karma pizza, all the ingredients are fresh and delicious. see my pictures to see the food! Then our order was alittle delayed, so my husband & I walked across the street to the Jazz venue & Mason was nice enough to bring our pizzas to us! They were hot & so delicious!! We wl be back! read more

Mellow Mushroom - Funky Q. Chicken BBQ chicken Pizza - Pizza Near Me - Denton, Texas

Service was slow, food came out after an hour, and food was so mid. Also trivia night absolutely ruined the environment because it was soooooo damn loud you could barely have a conversation without being interrupted every 1:30. At least the decor looked sick. read more

As always the pizza was great! The restaurant. was about 20% full, 3 booths plus us. very nice waitress, good customer service skills, took our order brought drinks and said she would be back with plates and silver. The pizza was delivered and still no plates and silver. We asked the person who brought the pizza for them and he said sure and was never seen again. 5+- minutes later the waitress came by and ask if she could get us anything else. We asked again for plates and settings. She returned a few minutes later with plates, napkins, 2 knives and one fork. She apologized and said they were out of forks and the dish washer was on break. I was like Really? this is a restaurant isn't it ? She said she would get another fork when available. It never came. AMAZING that a restaurant would not have adequate table settings for 4 tables. read more

No issues here. Ordered a shroom tea, tasted sweet. Ordered a thin pizza mighty meaty loved it because it was not too oily/greasy. The female waitress was attentive and polite. read more

Mellow Mushroom - Appetizer 10 wings - Pizza Near Me - Denton, Texas

Best pizza place in Denton. Restaurant is about 1/4 mile off the square in Denton. We have come here many times and love the stone cooked pizza. Great place to come and watch a game while you down a pie. They haves kids menu- with typical kids fare. We aren't exotic pizza eaters-- just love pepperoni with extra cheese and some beer. This place never disappoints- this last time we had a problem with some scorched crust and they promptly remade our pizza. Nice appetizer are the pretzel bites-- dip in marinara and queso and you'll be in heaven. They also have a cool patio with a fire place- I'd like to try it out on one of these nights when the weather cooperates. read more

Restaurant half full. Only helped when we flagged down the waitress. Pizza was cold and didn't have all the toppings as menu states. Took over 20 minutes to get refills. Will not be back. read more

The pizza was fantastic! Perfectly cooked. No burnt bottom like shown in other reviews. Also had the cheese bread and pretzel bites. Yum to both! The atmosphere is great. The staff were vey friendly and attentive. And may not so important but nice nonetheless, the bathroom was really nice and clean. Definitely will continue coming back when we're here. read more

Mellow Mushroom - Mighty Meaty was mighty yummy! - Pizza Near Me - Denton, Texas

Mellow mushroom has some many different vibes going on. Moroccan yet western which made it a fun experience. The staff was great and we were in and out in less than an hour. The pizza was amazing but not my absolute favorite. I have high expectations for pizza. I got the Shiitake and it was wonderful. The sauce and olive oil balanced each other perfectly. However, the prices make me hesitant to come back. Still delicious and a fun place to go! read more

Mellow Mushroom - Yum! - Pizza Near Me - Denton, Texas

For those of you in this area, you know the search for the perfect pie has been on for a long time. Today was opening day, and yes, this local chain has a couple of other locations in Ft. Worth and Arlington. My hubby and I had heard how good this place is so we couldn't wait for it to get here! We were able to hit it early for a test run. We started with the Stuffed Portobello Mushroom and 5 of the Jerk Baked Chicken wings. The wings were okay, we just were expecting something a little spicier and had a mild Jerk flavor. The Stuffed Shroom? I really could have had just that for dinner. A huge cap stuffed with feta cheese, artichoke hearts, spinach & sundried tomato topped with mozzarella and baked until bubbly. They served this beauty on a bed of spring mix drizzled heavily with balsamic glaze. And, since I love balsamic, I adored every bite! Then, we had a Mighty Meaty, add shrooms & extra mozzarella. I could eat just one slice before I settled for nibbling on the outer crust. It was good, so good. The crust, which we did ask for crispy, was perfect. Lots of choice ingredients so you get full fast! It is a bit pricey, but we did order a lot of food. We had 4 large pieces left to bring home- thank goodness we have a pizza stone for that night time reheat! I was impressed with the amounts of beverages on tap and attentive wait staff. I had a mini-pizza nirvana on the drive home! Thanks, Mellow Mushroom! I cannot wait to come back and try some of your other delectable offerings! There were also a lot of vegetarian options to choose as well :) read more

Mellow Mushroom - Opening day! - Pizza Near Me - Denton, Texas

I wanted a simple cheese pizza and they delivered: -not too too greasy -medium size, perfect for us 2 (6 big slices) -stringy!!!! Just like the movies :D -Even the crust was flavorful Location: -probably for a hangout/not date -to be fair the server was doing her best on a busy night -a bit of a struggle to find parking, but it's near the square so enough said :) Would definitely return on a slow day! read more

Mellow Mushroom - Leftovers!!! - Pizza Near Me - Denton, Texas

So far this place has been the only spot in Denton that tricks me into thinking: "maybe I'm not really stuck in middle of nowhere Texas Bible Belt Republican endless sea of freeways, gas stations and chain stores HELL... and maybe I'm on Haight Street or I'm in Seattle or anywhere but Texas and everything is going to be okay..." The food? It's okay. The gluten free pizza was reminding me of my moms homemade gluten free pizza, minus the higher quality organic veggies and all. It didn't hit the spot for bomb restaurant grade, but the ambiance was very much appreciated:) I hope the chefs over here can keep researching and trying to nail it! read more

I was really surprised by how much I enjoyed Mellow Mushroom. The place has so much charm though, it's hard to not be enamored with the entire experience. The place had a mural on the outside wall featuring slices of pizza. What's not to love? Once we were seated (very quickly) we started looking over the menu it was almost overwhelming with all the enticing choices. I ended up going with a chicken curry pizza that was very delicious. I would definitely like to try this place again. Also, if you go, be sure to try the spinach salad. Very tasty! read more

Mellow Mushroom - Pizza Near Me - Denton, Texas

This place has good tasting pizzas, but a little on the pricey side. They do make your pizza from scratch, that means you can do a lot of customization with your pizza order, but sadly that also means a lot of wait time. They have an open kitchen and you can see when they make the pizzas (the cooks aren't skilled enough to be spinning and tossing pizza doughs, which I think is an area of improvement). We went at around 5:30pm on a Thursday, which is not really that busy, but we still waited a good 40 mins for our 1 large and 1 medium pizzas. So my guess is that half an hour would be the fastest on any order. Hence if you are starving when you are just seated, get some appetizers. My friend claims that if he could only eat pizza one night a month, this would be THE place to go. Honestly, I think even though the pizzas do taste good, with the price and wait time, I probably won't be ordering here every night either. read more

Coming in to the place on Tuesday evening it was nice and with a small crowd. Upon entering there is a pretty cool statue with which I promptly took a selfie. The lighting was dim to add to the ambiance of a quiet evening. We were greeted at the door with a lady who just seem like she was not having a good day. We were seated at a table but requested a booth which the lady nicely directed us to one which was nice. She did seem a little irritated, but was willing to comply. After just a few seconds, we were greeted by our waiter. He was a nice young man and very knowledgable. We have never eaten here so we asked for a suggestion. He offered his favorites and we took him up on it. We ordered some cheese bread to tidy us over until the hand-made pizzas reached its destination. When the server left, we were greeted by another man. This man was running the trivia game that night. He was nice to explain the rules and explain that it was free to participate. Even though our visit was meant to be short, we decided to stay and play. Our cheese bread arrived and ibwas slightly disappointed. It just looked like Walmart bought bread with just mozzarella cheese on top. Boringly, plain and boringly bland. It was a good thing we decided to panticipate with trivia night. The pizza itself took longer than I would expect. We were about half way through the trivia night before it finally arrived. Upon its arrival it appeared fairly overcooked. Crust was hard and the toppings were scarce. The one good thing about it was the cheese. It was stringy, strong, and thick. I let made me wonder if it was the same cheese on the cheese bread because it felt as they were two different consistencies. Towards the end of the night, the trivia game ended. The trivia night was the most enjoyable section. I do plan on visiting again as I enjoyed the atmosphere. I do want to give the food a second chance and will continues to attend until everything on the menu is tried. read more

The Mellow Mushroom is a small chain of pizza places, but it's definately NOT your typical chain pizza place. I was here with my daughter back in January and we had sandwiches, so not even the pizza they are known for. It was good enough for a return visit. I was out running errands the day before Thanksgiving and on my way home passed by Mellow Mushroom. I decided to try some pizza. They come in three sizes. four slice, six slice and 8 slice. I just went with the 10" four slice pizza. The Funky Q. Chicken. Big pieces of chicken, full strips of meaty bacon, caramelized onion, a bbq sauce base and lots of really good cheese. And that crust????? I usually prefer thin crust pizza, which basically this was, but it's a bit thicker and chewy. But oh so good! I ate three of my four slices quickly. Saved the other slice, and even cold, it was still great. Any college student will tell you cold pizza is a good thing, but it is really true of this one. They have many different pizzas with red sauce, pesto base and even white pizza, plus lots of good sandwiches (I had the club with caramelized onions previously), salads and various other offerings. They have vegetarian and GLUTEN FREE options as well. I will go back, just for that crust alone. read more

This place used to be a favorite. Lately, I think management has changed and not for the good. The bar is out of most mixers and beer selection has been significantly reduced. Sad to say that the food quality had taken a hit as well. Really hope the owner steps up as we won't be going back unless there are some changes. read more

Wow. Just left this place after waiting an hour for our pizza and being told by our waitress that it would be AT LEAST 10 more minutes, probably more. Which basically means, they haven't started it yet. We asked for our check for our drinks and salads and our waitress didn't even blink, like it was totally normal, no explanation. When I told her we've been here an hour, she apologized and said they don't usually have this many tables on a Sunday night, and didn't properly staff up. Well, the kitchen looked like there were 10 people back there all bustling around. Looked like enough staff to me and when we came in there were only about 3 tables full. Table by us also asked how much longer their food would be. Not sure if this is normal, or what, but our waitress didn't seem too concerned. read more

It was slow and bad service not on top of it and even was standing around and talking not doing there jobs be better we waited an hour for our pizza and wasn't even that good I didn't even get more water read more

Wow! I cannot believe I waited so long to try this place! It is GREAT! Service, food, and atmosphere were top-notch. You are greeting upon entering and you are guided to a table. We asked for a specific booth and the employee was happy to accommodate. The dining area is very large and there are plenty of comfortable tables and booths. There are smaller, two person tables near the windows, seats at the bar, and larger tables for big groups. The booths will easily seat at least six people. The menu is a bit different than I remember seeing online. The week day specials are: 1) single slice with one topping + side salad + drink 2) two slices with one topping + drink 3) half a hoagie + chips + drink 4) something with soup and salad I ordered the two-slice lunch special and I added a full house salad. Wow was it a lot of food. I was not expecting the slices to be so HUGE! Slice #1 had a triple mushroom mix. It was great! The crust is nice and crisp on the bottom but light and soft inside. The crust is fairly thin and it has a good buttery, garlic seasoning on the rim. The slice had a very generous amount of mozzarella. The mushroom medley was GREAT! Slice #2 had grilled chicken. They were very generous with the chicken and it was very clean, high-quality white chicken chunks. I liked it very much but the mushroom was my favorite of the two. By the way, you can add additional toppings to the lunch special slice for $.50 so next time I will probably go mushroom and chicken together. The full house salad was pretty big, served in a 10-inch bowl. It had large shavings of Parmesan, black olives, onions, tomatoes, and a lettuce mix. Very good! Excellent! read more
