Lots to choose from on the menu not just pizza. Sandwiches, salads, wings, and my granddaughters favorite, MEATBALL TRIO. Nice atmosphere friendly staff. Give them a try. I love the old building that this one is in a lot of history in this building. read more

Fast seating, yummy food. We had entree salads, pizzas, calzones and garlic bread at our family table. Waitress was attentive and took great care of us. Will definitely be back! read more

This was a pretty good restaurant! The pizza was just okay the toppings were falling off the top. I'm just used to good Midwest pizza I'm from Chicago it wasn't bad but i wasn't that impressed but i guess i would go back. read more

Veggie Calzone Traveled from WI to visit family, and they suggested their fav go to spot. I wasn't disappointed. Came in on a Sunday morning as soon as they opened and it started filling up quick! My party of 12 was promptly seated and we were even able to get patio seating. The atmosphere was great and the food was delicious. Service was friendly as well. read more

Mellow Mushroom - Veggie Calzone with added pepperoni - Pizza Near Me - Gainesville, Georgia

Had a great ambience in an old house. The food was delicious as for the drinks the waitress was wonderful.

Love the atmosphere here. Parking is in the back. We got a table quick enough and service was prompt. But you wait for the food. of course the food was excellent and you kind of forget how long it took. In fact, if it wasn't so close to closing we would have ordered one to go for a meal the next day but we didn't want to wait a long time. So yes, it's great food, great service. But you will be here awhile to get it. read more

A medium pizza was more than enough for 4 people. It was a great experience and will try other food on their menu.

Haven't been in a while ... great pizza, love the ambiance.. great customer service and friendly and great atmosphere

Love Mellow Mushroom!! Best pizza and being in the old Rudolfs just brings back a lot of memories. Just been here 4 times or so since opened and happy every time. Big on the Shitake shroom pizza or create your own slice ( for lunch one slice is enough). Atmosphere is like the old Rudolfs just jazzed up with new art so not so low lit and classy but same chairs and tables- big rooms, comfy. They converted the back into a great bar that seems to be where the locals go but hitting here for lunch when in Gainesville. Their salads are great- Greek, is my fav with lots of olives, feta, good stuff. Servings are more than enough and service is great. Good value, sat quickly, always comfy, beer is cold, pizza is the best. Must come. The go to place for pizza in Gainesville!!! read more

See all

The pizza is absolutely my favorite. Only NYC pizza (located in NYC, NY) can rival Mellow Mushroom.

I got the gluten free crust with artichoke hearts and tomatoes! Yummy stuff! It's always nice to have a gluten free pizza option.

I typically wouldn't give a pizza restaurant 5-stars, but hey it's in an old southern mansion. And we'll maintained. The pizza is good Mellow Mushroom pizza. The wife and I had pepperoni. Both appropriate amounts of cheese and pepperoni. There are several good pizza restaurants in Gainesville, for something a little different. It's worth giving this place a try. read more

The Mediterranean pizza was amazing! The Taziki sauce added a creaminess I didn't know the pizza needed. read more

Great pizza in a cool old house makes this an awesome place. They have friendly service and a nice bar. They also have outside seating that's nice in the warmer weather. read more

i had mellow mushroom while in gatlinburg and it was pretty good so i decided to give this one a try and it was no where near as good. I feel like they're scared to add the sauce to the pizza. Almost taste like cheesy bread with a dab of sauce. read more

Mellow Mushroom - Cheese Pizza - Pizza Near Me - Gainesville, Georgia

We've been fans of this locations' MM since it first opened. One of my favorite dishes has been the Sausage Fest calzone. It's been a few months since we last dined here, but tonight's experience was more than just disappointing. My wife ordered the veggie calzone and both our meals were basically dough and ricotta cheese with very little meat in my Sausage Fest and my wife had the same experience with her's having few vegetables and much too much dough and cheese. The calzones were basically inedible and I think that we are finished with this location. Just one more manifestation of the lowered bar in quality for profit at the cost of declining standards. I did try to access the Mellow Mushroom survey listed on our receipt, but it was so user unfriendly and took me to some medical website that required me to open an account. Arrivederchi! read more

Ghost Stories: Rudolph's. https://www.yelp.com/biz/rudolphs-restaurant-gainesville Yes, it is now Mellow Mushroom. However, the name "Rudolph's" will live forever... I was a server who worked there for almost three years, and during that time I witnessed one of the most unexplained events and stories I've ever encountered. .. My Story: One night when closing down the upstairs bar area, I went down to the kitchen to put up the remaining glassware and other dishes. Shortly after, my colleagues and I heard very loud footsteps, as if someone was running around upstairs. I remember the event clearly because of the extremely loud running sounds, which made me go back upstairs to search out the area - thinking that I had closed down the bar area without checking to see if all the customers had actually left. When arriving back upstairs, to my surprise, nobody was there... I even check the office and under some of the tables. I went back down stairs to check out with my manager, (who I wish not to reveal their name.) At this time, it was her and I in the restaurant, and she felt confident about telling me about her other ghost stories that happened in the building after talking about the mysterious event that had just occurred upstairs that night. Her Story: My manager explained her story clearly, which was about another event that had occurred prior, when it was only herself in the building and the front door to the restaurant opened on it's own - then the sound of footsteps entered into the restaurant. When hearing the door open, my manager yelled out that the restaurant was closed and wasn't taking anymore customers. Then she heard the front door close and lock on it's own. She thought someone was ignoring her, and left the manager's office to go to the front door, only to look around within the area, then eventually throughout the restaurant to realize that nobody was there... A few weeks later, one of my colleagues I worked with at that time had a friend who was a psychic. They invited their psychic friend to the restaurant to scout out the building, and their friend stated that the name Rudolph's was named after a famous Dr. Rudolph who lived in the building, which was his house at one time during history. They also stated that Dr. Rudolph, his lady medical assistant, and two small children died there back in the 1930's with a serious case of the measles outbreak... Today, the building has been renovated and remodeled into Mellow Mushroom. But remember to take these ghost stories with you the next time you dine at the Mellow Mushroom in Gainesville, Ga. Enjoy! read more

Try the mushroom soup! It's amazing! We love MM! My salad was delicious! My friend had the smashed bruschetta- heavenly! The staff is always attentive and fun! read more

I wish I could give a higher score because I've had some good pizzas here in the past. But lately, they are lacking. Today, the crust was literally larger than the actual toppings area. From someone that does like your pizza, please do better. read more

My wife and I paid a visit to this establishment to meet up with some friends. The place was packed and we were seated outside on their enclosed patio with heaters. Very comfortable. We ordered the Holy Shiitake Pie, and we were not disappointed! Everyone finished their meal and we sat a while talking and enjoying the atmosphere. Thank you Mellow Mushroom and staff for the great food and even better service! TTFN read more

Steak and cheese calzone is gooddddd. Too crowded but it's ok for good food. Friendly staffs too

Ok ..... here's the deal ! Food is awesome - you can't miss with anything on the menu BUT reason for 4 stars - if you like eating at the bar .... beware the terrible bar stools - many are wobbly - many are in disrepair with the crossbar for your foot missing making the chair edge cut into your leg ! Good they now have smaller tables in bar alcoves and separate tables at the bar that helps divide people for Covid and overcomes difficulty eating w need to reach over the heavy bar edge molding so gold star for that - but I seriously doubt the manager has ever tried to eat using the stools - the restaurant has variety of chairs so obvious budget is tight but folks if customers not comfy - they don't stay and they don't want to return Just a head up read more

Love the vibes, love the artwork. all staff was wonderful. Pizza was average, beer was good, service was good. Definitely will eat here again House Special Pizza read more

Getting five stars for their cheese pizza. Just dang....it was fresh and delicious. Service was great as well.

Mellow Mushroom had great food and service. One, the pizza was delicious. Two, service was so nice.

It states that it's open online and I had planned to come here far in advance. after a long trip to Gainesville it is closed. Don't lost your resturant as open if it's clearly closed. Maybe want to think about editing your online hours. Just a thought. read more

Unfortunately, they've been hit or miss over the years. Last two times I have not been very good.

A very nice place to eat. We had very good service and food was great. We would gladly return.

Friend in hospital wanted something tasty and decided pizza fit the bill. It was delicious!

This is still my all time favorite Mellow Mushroom location in the entire country! I have now lived on the Western side of America and have eaten at 12 different Mellow Mushrooms all over the country traveling to and from the West and I always try to eat at every MM I can. I now declare that I am not only an expert but I am a brand ambassador and should be hired to spread Mellow deliciousness from coast to coast! Love to all my MM friends. Best pizza around! read more

I love this place! Food is amazing and atmosphere is great! They have vegan options and are so accommodating to everyone.

Great location! Super cute restaurant in the heart of Gainesville. The food is amazing every time!!

I didnt try anything else but the pizza. but if you like quiktrip pizza stick to quiktrip pizza I'd take that over this one. Good ambience in the restaurant though seems really homey and the service is 100% professional but the pizza is terrible. read more

AMAZING SERVICE AND FOOD!!! Pizza was great, and our server Daniel was absolutely amazing!! So polite and quick with everything! Couldn't have asked for better service. read more

Pizza, Pizza, Pizza... This place has awesome pizza. What a unique place with a unique atmosphere to go along with it. It's in an older house that has a 70's hippy vibe. I have been to this location many times and have always had great service and the food is always good. My personal favorite is the Pretzel bites with beer cheese!!! Yes I said it "Beer Cheese"!! It's fantastic. Many pizza choices with lots of different specialties to go with it. They also have salads, hot sandwiches and a good size bar area. I highly recommend it to anyone. read more

I have always been a Mellow Mushroom fan! I t has been my go-to pizza for a long time. Unfortunately, I have been pretty disappointed in their pizza lately, and since their is a new pizza kid on the block, I am ready for a change! The last few pizzas I have ordered, for which I have paid extra toppings , have barely had any toppings at all, even the original ones! When you have to hunt for the topping or can count the extra Mushroom pieces on one hand, I have a problem! Maybe they think that Togo orders, no one will complain, well I am complaining !! So Mellow I'm taking a break and moving on to the next pie!" read more

Good service and even better tasting food! Didn't have to wait too long and the food was 10/10. Would definitely recommend this to anyone stopping by the Gainesville area read more
