    Mushroom, half sausage, regular crust pizza.
    Mel C.

    We ordered pizza and wings for delivery to our hotel. Being from Chicago, I'm picky about my pizza and was hesitant to plsce an order. However, previous reviews seemed good and Mellow Mushroom did not disappoint. We ordered a Design-Your-Own mushroom and half Italian sausage regular crust pizza. The crust was soft and bread-like on the edge and the pizza was topped generously. The sausage lacked flavor and seemed more like ground beef, but we really enjoyed the fresh mushrooms. The "naked" wings were crisp and tasty served with a side of carrot and celery sticks and a side of blue cheese. Our delivery arrived in less than an hour. It was worth the wait and price to have pizza this delicious delivered. Well done Mellow Mushroom! This Chicago girl would order from here again.

    The Good: I'd recommend for the food! I'd order it to go.. The restaurant is clean & it's nice that our furry friends are welcomed there! My waitress at the bar was delightfully polite! The less favorable part of two visits within 4 days: I experienced this place for the 1st time earlier this week. The initial customer service is lacking. I wasn't greeted. When I asked for a table outside, it was "probably not' with an eye roll on the first occasion. I couldn't sit outside with a full staff. Then tried it during the day.. later this week, still absolutely REFUSED to let me sit outside. Met with "no, I'm the only one here!" Quite rudely on both occasions. Not more than five tables in this restaurant on either occasion, yes I counted. I left the establishment the 2nd time without even sitting down. Who wants a cranky waitress.. not me.

    Spinach Artichoke Dip
    Lesley M.

    My husband and I stopped here because we had a Passport coupon to use and it was close to the Pinnacle Bank Arena for the concert we were attending. We picked the perfect time to stop which was close to two hours before the concert started because there was hardly anybody in there. Within 20 minutes of us sitting down at the table the place was packed with future concert goers. Service was decent, but I don't know if the server was just that inattentive or if he was that busy. Our lukewarm spinach artichoke dip tasted good, but it could've definitely been cooked longer because we had to cut the cheese with a knife. On the other hand, our pizza was delicious. We went with a small Hawaiian that tasted great. I think our boys will really like this pizza shop and definitely plan to try again when we're in the area.

    Holy Shiitake AMAZING

    I gotta give it 5 stars. Service was great last night. Fast and attentive. They were busy to as a concert was happening in a bit at the arena next door. I had the Holy Shitake pizza and there isn't anything I could say negative about it. It was absolutely delicious. Way better than I thought the experience would be. Happy customer

    Pepperoni Pizza
    Katy E.

    We stopped in here before a husker game, and we agreed that this may be a new game day staple! The drinks and food were delicious, and the service was attentive and very helpful! I got a personal sized pepperoni pizza and I thoroughly enjoyed every bite! The vibes in the restaurant are fun and there are plenty of tvs that were tuned into multiple games happening at the time. Highly recommend!

    Great White pizza!
    Vickie A.

    We brought our basketball team of 20 here, and overall, it was a great experience! The food was fantastic--standouts included the Buffalo Pizza, the Great White, and the Meat Pizza. The pretzel bites with spicy cheese were a hit, and both the Lil Caesar and Lil House salads were fresh and tasty. The only reason I'm giving 4 stars instead of 5 is that the service was a bit slow, but to be fair, we had a large group, and they handled it well considering. The staff was friendly and accommodating. We'd definitely come back--perfect spot for a team outing!

    First time here. I really love this place! I worked in a pizza restaurant for 5 years. This was a great experience! Our table server, Michael, was awesome! Everything was served wonderfully and in a timely manner, with a smile. Hats off to the pizza cook!!! The Great White pizza we had was perfectly made and super duper tasty!!! We also ordered Bruschetta as appetizer. It was good and all the flavors of diced tomato, basil, goat cheese, and sauce blended well together. Washed down all the food with some refreshing Cherry Coke as they serve Coke drink products. As far as the restaurant itself, I love the sign on the outside of the building. It is simple and inviting upon entrance. Cool to see the wall designs and the roof patterns with all the bees. Cool vibes! Overall excellent and I will be back!!!

    The Mellow Mushroom menu cover

    Amid psychedelic decor, calling back to a nostalgic 1970's era hippy-esc vibe, the Mellow Mushroom delivers delicious gourmet food at reasonable prices that I found surprisingly filling and met our needs for vegetarians cuisine. The service was fast yet because of the crowd seemed overworked, possibly due to the numbers of customers, came across as a little harried to cover tables. Our night had a lot of large family groups while we were only dinner for two. The pretzels with beer cheese and/or marinara appetizer we ordered was filling but not really pretzels - maybe more akin to twisted piazza sticks. They were tasty and a nice start. My wife liked the Magic Mushroom soup - it had great flavor but I found it a little thick, more like gravy. We enjoyed the Great White, medium pizza. It was good at the restaurant served fresh, and though we couldn't finish it all at the table, tasted just as good as leftovers the next day. My kind of pizza. The prices were expected for a gourmet pizza joint but worth the cost. The price fit the location (downtown) and style (stone baked). The ambiance and decor had me delightfully captivated and nostalgic, looking around the room wide-eyed. Definitely worth a revisit for dine-in or takeout.

    Good food. Service was a little slow. This could have been due to the group size and it was an hour before closing.

    One word, EXPENSIVE. It was good but not worth the price. I think you can get better pizza cheaper. Yai Yai's is better in my opinion.

    We were seated right away with a large party, which was a great start. Our server was super nice…read moreand did a good job staying attentive, especially considering how big our group was. I ordered spaghetti with marinara and a side salad. I specifically asked for no cucumbers, but the salad still came out with them. It's one vegetable I absolutely hate, but I didn't send it back, just wish a little more attention had been paid to that request. The pasta itself wasn't very good. The marinara barely coated the noodles and didn't have much flavor, so I ended up asking for a side of Alfredo just to make it better. Overall, maybe I just ordered the wrong thing, but the food didn't impress me. The highlight of the experience was definitely the server handling such a large group so well.

    This is my first time here, and it was with my partner and his company for their holiday outing…read more The staff did a great job of taking care of us, although we were a party of about 25 people, spread out in the small tables of their back room. The lemon drop martini was great, a little on the south side, which I don't mind. The Caesar salad was a good starter, as were a few appetizers (not pictured) that we started our meal with. I wish I remember the name of my pasta dish, but I don't see it on the full menu. We had a limited menu for the company party, but this was a cavatappi pasta with a white sauce, and I added shrimp to the dish. It was excellent! I also got to try The chicken Parmesan, lasagna, and a few other dishes. All were great for the price point. Overall, I would definitely recommend this spot for a casual date night, or a group event of any kind!
