Holy shitake and Caesar salad! Fresh, tasty, salad with huge shavings of real parm. Great dressing- tangy, creamy. I would never have picked a mushroom pizza. I like, but not love, mushrooms. This was different. Creamy, smoky combo of flavors. So happy I got talked into this. It's expensive. $20 for a med pizza. But great taste combos and Fresh. I'll splurge on this again! read more

The pizza is fabulous and you can split pizza flavors. We got 4 types of pizza on 2 pies, and they were all great! Our server was friendly and attentive, he was also helpful in choosing both pizzas and drinks. We also had garlic bread and pretzel bites with beer cheese that were awesome and totally worth it. I would come back again when I visit Lincoln again! read more

The pizza is awesome. Good sauce, ingredients, and crust. The mighty meaty pizza was delicious. I've tried some others and they are all good. The salads are large and fresh. You can build your own salad and get just a half order of salad. The cheese bread was excellent. The beer selection is good and cold. Great place for pizza in Lincoln. read more

The pizza is clearly handmade and it is very good. I got the Buffalo chicken pizza and it was amazing. Their drinks are good too, the grateful dead is delicious. The staff is very friendly. I recommend the Maui wowie pizza as well, if you are into pineapples on your pizza. 10/10 for staff, pizza, and drinks. read more

I just want to give a big kudos to our server, Rob, tonight! Rob was extremely courteous, greeted us as soon as we sat down at our table, took our drink orders, returned with our drinks and took our appetizer order. We asked for additional time to place our order and when we did order Rob answered all our questions, made suggestions and continued to check on us. Our dinner was served promptly and was delicious! Thank you Rob for making our family outing a very enjoyable experience!!! read more

I love pizza and this is one of the best places I've visited! Stop in after a concert one night and got the buffalo chicken pizza and the great white pizza. They were both so good I almost ate them all! Definitely recommend this place when I get asked where to eat downtown! read more

Awesome service and atmosphere!! We had a great time, and are looking forward to coming back next time we're in town.

Amazing customer service here. The manager Mike Tilson was fantastic when we had an issue with a delivery from Grubhub. He went above and beyond. We will definitely be back!! read more

NEVER AGAIN. If you are thinking of going here, think again. TERRIBLE SERVICE. Food was soooo slow and the prices are unreasonable. If I could give less than 1 star, I would. read more

Mellow Mushroom is an amazing pizza parlor! The different kinds of pizzas you can order are so creative and always have the extra ingredient that make it stand out from a normal pizza you would order somewhere else. There's three different sizes you can order from small (4 slices) to medium (6 slices) and large (8 slices). I would highly recommend trying something new whenever you go to Mellow Mushroom. read more

Some of the best pizza I've ever had! Wow! Great service and beer selection! Staff and Manager were very friendly and made great suggestions on what to eat and drink. I would highly recommend this restaurant! read more

See all

This is my favorite pizza place in Lincoln! Wide variety of craft beers, great service, and great appetizers reasonably priced.

After our 25 minute projected wait turned into an hour plus, we ordered overpriced pizza at a tiny corner of the bar, two of us standing, two seated, not optimum for dining comfort. Moments later the hostess came and summoned us, rudely, I might add, to the front to be seated. We told the bartender we were being seated so please send the pizza to our table. He didn't seem to understand the concept. As we were shown to our booth, another hostess was seating a group in our booth! Our hostess simply turned around, went back to the hostess stand and put our menus away. No apology, no effort to find anything else...NO NOTHING!!! It was at this point we all sat our drinks on the hostess stand, and left....vowing not to return again. Worst dining experience EVER! read more

Boring pizza, ordered a pepperoni and sausage and they couldn't even manage to get those on all the slices. Sloppy, no attention to detail. Lettuce in salads tasted like a dirty refrigerator. Skip it... read more

I really do not think that there was a single thing they did not fuck up. Took forever to get drinks after being seated. Took ages for our appetizer, and then even longer for our pizza, and then a damn ice age to get refills on my empty drink. There was so little bbq sauce on my pizza I had to ask for more on the side. I literally just sat there watching for the guy to come around anywhere in the place for ten minutes. I can't remember the last time I had to get up and go find my server somewhere. And the shit is expensive as fuck. It wasn't even busy! Not going back. Huge place with a million people working, and you fuck things up that bad when you are slow? Places don't fuck things up this bad on opening day. read more

My husband and I were driving through Lincoln recently looking for a place to sit and eat. With all the COVID-19 regulations going on we weren't sure what we were going to find. So thankful they were open! It was a great meal and was so nice to get out of the house and have a nice meal. Thank you to all who were there that day to serve us and for being open in general! We will be back! read more

We decided to try something new and we ended up very disappointed. I have a pet peeve with restaurants putting Mac and cheese on the kids menu, then serving them Kraft Mac&cheese out of the box. So we end up paying $5.50 for boxed Mac & cheese from a $0.99 box. Twice! (2 kids) Although they did get chocolate milk. We wanted to share a pizza so we ordered their Mellowterranean. If, you like your chicken dry and your pizza crust tough then this pizza is for you. $22 for a medium pizza is not a good value for what received. We will not be back. The service was just ok, with an only somewhat busy restaurant on a Tuesday evening. read more

Terrible service. No events downtown or at arena and still took an hour to get food. Manager does not care about service either as he gave us a very unsympathetic sorry. Very disappointed. read more

Great tap selection and by far the best pizza in Lincoln. If you are going to spend the calories make sure it is here.

The chairs were uncomfortable, acoustics insane which made conversation impossible. The place was staffed, but so unorganized I wanted to get up and start training them. The pizza was average, but the kids wanting cheese or pepperoni made me crave Thai. Price-high, especially for the service. read more

Literally in the top 5 best meals of my life. The Kosmic Karma was the exact thing I needed, even if it wasn't the best on my calorie counter!! Only bad part was using yelp to be put on the waitlist didn't work and then they told us we had to wait 15-20 minutes while we actually waiting more around 30. Will definitely go back! read more

It's all about the crust. Best pizza in Lincoln, hands down. Moved here from Michigan 2 years ago and was startled to find myself in a pizza vacuum. Never knew pizza could go so wrong. My husband and I have been hoping for a good pizza place in town. First trip to Mellow Mushroom I was hooked on their pretzel appetizers. The bread was so flavorful and had a fantastic texture. Though they are on the expensive side, 2 pieces fill me up. On a recent visit, the bread was a little too dense - didn't seem to have developed to their normal standard. However, since I've been there several times already, I'm giving them 5 stars. read more

Many friends and colleagues eat here regularly. I ordered pizza many months ago for lunch. In a half full restaurant, during lunch, waters for two took 15 minutes, and pizza over an hour. The staff was extremely rude, and the restrooms had puke dried from the last night's festivities. Pass. read more

Wonderful service, kick ass staff, great cocktails. 12/10 would recommend. Jess and Jordan are babes, give them your money

I went to the Mellow Mushroom with 2 friends after work. We ordered a drinks, an appetizer, and a pizza. All were ok. Then it came time for the bill. Two of the friends asked if the waiter if he could split the bill, as one had cash and the other had a card. (I know that's not the greatest thing to do.) When he came back, he had charged the card 1/2 and had taken 1/2 out of the cash plus 10% of the bill. So basically, he had stolen part of his tip. When my friend brought this up to the manager, he didn't really seem to care. Apparently stealing money from patrons is A-OK at the Mellow Mushroom. It's too bad, because the waiter would have gotten a much better tip had he not done that. Friends and I won't be going back. The pizza isn't that great. read more

Pretty good restaurant but it's pricy. Garlic bread appetizer, yum, can't go wrong with that. Ordered a lil chef salad to start and it was huge! I couldn't even touch my main course after the salad. I had the jerk chicken hoagie and it was good but pretty spicy. Came with lots of peppers and onions. My coworker ordered a small pizza which came with 4 slices and it was $14. Crispy, delicious crust though. My glass of wine was $6. That's pricy for Lincoln but it was good. read more

I truthfully never thought I could find a pizza that I disliked. Although a very friendly staff and excellent location; both pizzas were completely burnt to a crisp and all you could taste was the burnt crust mixed with cold veggies/meats on top. Even with extra sauce ordered it was beyond dry and burnt. Also need to avoid the Bruschetta unless you like eating ash. Very disappointing after hearing the locals talk about this place. Yia Yia's pizza is the place to go hands down. read more

Bonus for having Coke products. Cheese bread was awesome. We went in early on a Friday and were seated right away. We dined outside and was nice. We had two pizzas with different toppings. After we had our pizzas the waitress then told us we can purchase a larger pizza and split it. Would have been nice to know but still great pizza. Will definitely go back. read more

Went there to eat during the Nebraska and Oregon game and it was a blast place was clean and the pizza was delicious and came out fast and was nice and hot staff was super nice and friendly will definently go back again. read more

Pizza is way better than Yia Yia's. Unfortunately it's a franchise, which means it will do really well in Lincoln as people love franchises around here. Decor is godawful. Service was really slow. Pizza was great and really expensive. read more

Great pizza! Brews are great too! Love this place. Will be back when I'm back in town. read more

Update: the service has drastically improved since my first few visits. Now the quality of service is up to par with the quality of the food! read more

We've been to the Shroom a couple of times now, and I have to say, I am impressed. I love "different" pizza, stuff that you wouldn't normally think of putting on a crust, so I'm right at home. The crust is good - thin & crispy with a nice thick edge. Service is quick and always friendly. A definite "keeper" for us. read more

Best pizza in town. Fresh quality ingredients. Crust is amazing. Fun atmosphere. Great to see the dining options in Lincoln improving with the expansion of the Haymarket. Not cheap, but if you appreciate quality, this is a great spot. read more

Would like to give 5 star but the service is not as good as the foods! Tried large size of pizza with Barbecue Chicken and Steak and cheese calzone! It was all great! read more

We LOVE the Mellow Mushroom for its food and staff! When we visit our son at UNL, we take his friends out for pizza and Mellow Mushroom is the perfect spot. Good food, good location and super waitstaff! read more

I have to give it all 5 stars because I have no complaints. We stopped in for lunch during the Husker Spring game and it was packed but the bar had plenty of seats so we sat right away. I ordered a Butterfly drink that was delicious, strong, and refreshing. The bartender checked our IDs, said hi using our names, and introduced himself. It was refreshing and personable. We split the stuffed mushroom appetizer, and a meatball hoagie. Both were delicious! This will definitely be on the list for a husker day pit stop. read more

Excellent choices of pizza and a variety of beers to select. Soy cheese and gluten free available. Cool atmosphere for adults and families. read more
