3 stars and that's generous. Table service was great - our waiter was attentive, quick and friendly which we loved. My daughter has severe allergies and pizza without dairy and soy was a win for us! Gluten free crust with vegan cheese... my baby was so happy to finally have pizza and thanks to Mellow mushroom she did! The cleanliness of the restaurant, I'd rate at a one. It had a school cafeteria smell, the floor around my table was filthy and the Parmesan cheese literally had a bug crawling inside ... yea, no bueno! The pizza was super fresh and tasty but I definitely wouldn't dine in again. Spent nearly $60 on a small vegan cheese pizza and a large half cheese half white pizza with soft drinks and spent a whopping $60 for an unpleasant experience. Never again! read more

An update from my last review of Mellow Mushroom like eight years ago. When I went last, I learned a trick. You just have to ask them to cook the pizza a little longer, for a nicer, crispier crust. In my opinion, the stock crust experience they offered was too thick, too doughy, and too floppy to hold up to a proper fold technique. Well it had been over five years, my restaurant statue of limitations, and I wanted pizza, so why not? Let's come back. Ambiance is always awesome at Mellows. Very psychedelic with the 60s/70s far out acid vibes. Cozy. Makes you feel right at home. Service was good. We had a nice lady who took care of us, refilled our drinks, and the food came out quite promptly. No concerns here. As for the food, We started off with the Thai Chili Wings (Double-baked for a crispy and flavorful wing without the use of a fryer or added oils. Hand-tossed in Thai Chili sauce. Served with celery, carrots and your choice of ranch or bleu cheese dressing). Nice wings. They did have a nice crisp to them, and a hint of delicious char. The flavor of the sauce was pretty standard for Thai chili, but it did not adhere well to the wing. Solid, though. As for our pizza main event, we were delighted to learn that you can get their specialty pizzas half-and-half. So instead of a compromise, we got the best of both worlds and could share. We got a medium half-and-half of the Pacific Rim (Mellow red sauce topped with mozzarella, honey ham, applewood-smoked bacon, caramelized onions, pineapple and jalapeños) and the Funky Q Chicken (Mozzarella, BBQ chicken, sharp cheddar cheese, caramelized onions, applewood-smoked bacon, finished w/ a swirl of BBQ sauce). Both sides were covered in toppings, which you don't see very often as more and more pizza places are tightening their purse strings. The Rim was good, lots of fatty toppings, but with nice pops of sweet pineapple and spicy jalapenos. And the Q was an indulgent, saucy mess with nice sized chunks of chicken. Good stuff. I did not ask for an extra cooked crust. I wanted to see how it was stock again. And alas, it was too much for me. I will not punish the rating, because I know some people like this kind of floppy crust. But I don't get it. Just be aware if you're picky about your pizza crust. Overall, a good show! Good flavors, fun vibes. I'll come back in 2030, for sure. read more

Mellow Mushroom Orlando - Pizza Near Me - Orlando, Florida

Pros: Ambiance is always cool here. It's got a psychedelic hippy kind of vibe that I love. Service was good for a casual chain place near a university. No complaints. And the food came out quick and accurately. The good was good, too! Wings were nice and flavorful, and the pizza was hot, cheesy, delicious, and loaded with toppings. They're not stingy here when it comes to the toppings. Cons: No real cons. It's a good place. Tips: If you're dining with someone, and you each want a different pizza, they do half and halfs on their specialty pizzas! Not everywhere does that. So that was pretty cool. read more

The crust is spectacular- I was quite underwhelmed by the vegan cheese ( very salty ); my wife absolutely loved the garlic. The waitstaff was on point. Though the table hadn't been wiped when we were seated. They have multiple big screens so on game day I'm sure it is busy. read more

Mellow Mushroom Orlando - Vegan pizza ( vegan cheese, onion, garlic, spinach ) - Pizza Near Me - Orlando, Florida

Taste: 5/5 Value: 4/5 Ambiance: 5/5 Mellow mushroom is that rare franchise where it's fun to try new locations and experience their unique aesthetic, and like all the others, this location is great!Trippy atmosphere and delicious food, one of the best places to go for pizza. I highly recommend the Holy Shiitaki pie, but I've never been disappointed by anything I've ordered here.This location now seems to be heavily influenced by UCF, but still has its psychedelic vibe. They have plenty of seating inside and also some outdoor seating available. I will admit that Mellow Mushroom is a little more pricey than most pizza places, but the food is so delicious that I can't fault them for the raised prices. Good service, good food, good atmosphere. read more

Closed. Furniture gone. Sign removed. Bummer. I love their pizza but will have to go elsewhere.

Wanted to have some pizza for wrestlemania last week, I decided to order some from this restaurant since it's 10' away from my house & recommended by a co-worker. I ordered 2 medium pizzas (holy shiitake & steak) from their website to be picked up & they were ready when my gf arrived. After opening those boxes, it's cool down a bit fast so I guess I will just order 30' ahead for next time (I ordered at 4pm and asked to pick it up at 6:30pm). The holy shiitake was great while the steak was just okay. Good thing, they didn't make them both too salty. Price was reasonable. Staff did open the boxes for my gf to double check before leaving, very kind. Plus, I love the design of the boxes, very nice. I'm going to return for the holy shiitake, this is my pizza spot from now on. read more

Really enjoyed our visit to Mellow Mushroom! The atmosphere was fun and relaxed, and the pizza had great flavor with a nice crispy crust. The pretzel balls were honestly a highlight, warm, soft, and perfect with the dipping sauce. Service was friendly and the vibe made it an easy place to hang out. Definitely coming back! read more

Mellow Mushroom Orlando - Country Club - Pizza Near Me - Orlando, Florida

'Twas and dark and stormy night and I was hungry. Decided to pull over on Colonial to what I hoped would be a pizza place and not a dispensary. I was in luck! It was a pizza place! Thanks be to God. And thanks be to God that the pizza was divine. I got a medium and split it between the Thai Dye and Holy Shiitake pies. Holy indeed was the truffle flava flave of the shiitake side. Divinely transported was I to a mushroom lovers heaven. A natural high! The Thai side didn't particularly have me Thai-Ed to the flavor but maybe it was the chicken that turned me off. A clear mistake in my haste to order 10 minutes before closing. In its defense the chicken wasn't tough and was curry flavored. I like curry. So, it was ok to decent. The crust was chewy and more importantly with a strong garlic flavor. My fave. (sorry, to my fans who dislike garlic or onions). Since it was a Wednesday night and dark and stormy to boot the pizza loving crowd was thin. Myself and a couple sitting next to a camera less gimbal on the bar were the main occupants in this psychedelic spot. I've been to some other pizza joints at this time in Orlando like Lazy Moon for example and they were better frequented. I'm surprised there weren't more students here since its near UCF. Maybe, they were at the dispensary nearby called 'Cannabis' (subtle, eh?) Well, if I had to choose between Cannabis and here I'd say this place was a clear winner. The service was friendly. The pizza pie deliciouso. And well, better to eat pizza than to do drugs. So says I. The price could be better but with Bidenflation there's really not much to be done but eat, drink, and be merry because tomorrow isn't guaranteed. Plus, it's not a bad last meal. So come out and get your mellow mushroom on! read more

Their pizzas are all soooo good! I don't recall the name but they have a meat pizza which is just decadent. And the Great White is a fantastic white pie. Just keep in mind this isn't "normal" pizza and for the love of Pete don't compare it to NY pizza and then call it terrible! A small pie is enough for one person with a leftover slice. Medium for 2 people. And a large can definitely feed 4 especially if you get that over the top meat pizza! Also a great place to go with a group, grab drinks and a bunch pies and just hang out. read more

Mellow Mushroom Orlando - Kosmic Karma - Pizza Near Me - Orlando, Florida

Mellow Mushroom has a cool overall vibe and is a fun place to chill with friends and grab something to eat and maybe a drink or two. The service was friendly and professional and added to my overall experience. Mellow Mushroom has grown a little since it started out back in 1974. The first location was in Atlanta, Georgia. It has since grown to somewhere around two hundred locations in nineteen states. I found the service to be great here and it was a nice time out with a group of friends. I would definitely recommend a visit here. read more

We happened to be in the area, on the way home we were both hungry and pizza had been talked about a lot. Mellow Mushroom is not near our house, so it was the perfect time to stop in. We've been here a few times, always a good time. We walked in, were promptly greeted and sat. First impression, very clean. Many tvs with sports on, so if you need something to watch, they have you covered. Our server came up, took our drink order and came back. After a bit, we finally figured out what we decided on. My wife got the great white, which has sun dried tomatoes, provolone,feta and ricotta. A great variation of a margarita pizza. I couldn't make up my mind, so I got pepperoni and half sausage peppers and olives. It wasn't too long of a wait, during that time our server would check on us and make sure we had everything we needed. Then, out comes our food, they say you eat with your eyes first, and wow, both of us agreed, everything looks amazing. Just to clarify, we both got smalls, which is 4 slices. The menu covers all of the sizes, etc. we wanted to try a bit of everything, that's why we got 2 pizzas. First off, both were amazing, I would recommend any of those, which is a good sign, I would think the rest are about the same. While we are enjoying our food, our server would check on us, make sure we have everything, any refills on drinks, etc. Anyway, after about halfway through, we both started to slow down, so, sure, I guess we will get a box for the rest. Now our server, I apologize, I don't remember his name, maybe Nick, I'm probably wrong. I'm sorry, but he did an amazing job. Well, most people would be finished, but of course I had to see the dessert menu. Nick brought one over and we decided on the peanut butter cookie topped with ice cream and chocolate. It took a couple of minutes, but it was worth it. The cookie wasn't very hot, more like slightly warm. Nothing wrong with that. If it wasn't getting late, I might have gotten another, kidding, maybe. As soon as we finished, Nick was right there, clearing up the table, we got the check, it was about what you would expect, not over priced, great price for some pizza and dessert. Service was top notch. Well, I would definitely recommend this place. The food was great, service was great. There was a large table next to us, looked like a birthday party, maybe 15 people. If you have a big party, I would recommend it, great place for a grown up pizza party. I believe they have a full bar which we did not utilize this time. Overall, if you try it out, there's a chance you might see us, well, if we're in the area read more

Don't eat here. Managers are incompetent, especially the big one (shocker). Waited about an hour for my pies and here comes Miss Piggyy saying she can't do anything about it. If I didn't know any better I'd say she ate them by mistake and cooks had to make em again. HA! Waste of my time and $$. read more

The service was divine. Our waiter, Cooper, was attentive, very sweet, there wasn't a long wait for food & you could taste that the food was truly made with love & knowledge. Every bit of my personal pie pizza you see there was DELICIOUS. Although it has a lot of ingredients, it's not overwhelming. The restaurant itself is very mellow. Trust me, you'll get back home with a happy spirit & full belly. read more

Mellow Mushroom Orlando - Mushroom Pizza - Pizza Near Me - Orlando, Florida

Let me start this review off by saying 2 things. This isn't a good review, and that without Devin (Devon, unsure of spelling) this review would be one star. My group of four walked in and were sat immediately. After about 20 minutes of waiting with no drink menu, no waters, and no utensils, we decided to walk up to the bar and order some drinks. Our bartender/newfound server was the best, that's Devin. He was EXTREMELY apologetic about our service, or lack thereof and took it upon himself to wait on our table for the night. He promptly took our drink and food orders and food was delivered to us within 10 minutes, including unique drinks. During this 10 minute period our supposed "waitress" named Kaitlyn (we asked for her name) came to our table and simply stated "I saw you guys waiting for a while. I wasn't sure if you were in my section." and proceeded to walk away. No apology. What was confusing to us was Kaitlyn was waiting on tables in front of, to the side of, and behind us, so we seemed to be in the middle of the section... extra confusing. Were we gerrymandered? Devin was extremely professional. He needs to be top dog in this Mellow Mushroom. So, it was an unfortunate experience but thankfully our hero, Devin, saved the day! read more

I really enjoy mellow mushroom pizza. They pizzas are excellent and they offer something for almost everyone.

Originally we had made reservations at Coopers Hawk. Unfortunately, they had our reservation in Orlando and we thought it was at Coopers Hawk in the Waterford Lakes mall. Since we were unwilling to drive into Orlando we decided to try something different. We decided on the Mellow Mushroom on E. Colonial Dr. It was shortly after 6 pm when we arrived last evening (12/11) and there were plenty of tables. We were a party of 6. We were seated right away and ordered our drinks. While we were waiting we scanned the menu and decided on two pizzas, the NEW Steakhouse Pizza and the Holy Shiitake pizza. We also ordered the Spinach salad with an apple-flavored dressing...fantastic! The pizzas were served piping hot and they were both delicious. The new Steakhouse pizza had a bit of heat to it, but it was very good, as was the Holy Shiitake mushroom pizza. In addition, the wines were all 1/2 price, so we enjoyed some wine with our pizzas. As for the service, I can't say enough good things about the waitstaff! Our server (sorry, I didn't get her name) was very attentive and knowledgeable about the menu, so when we asked about certain items she was able to answer all of our questions. If you have not been to a Mellow Mushroom for pizza you MUST put it on your "to go to" restaurants list. The pizza crust could be ordered thin or thick, but either way it is delicious and crispy. We will be sure to visit again because there are other items we saw on the menu which we want to try, especially the Magic Mushroom soup! All six of our group give the Mellow Mushroom restaurant 5 stars AND two thumbs up! read more

Haven't visited in a while and just happened to drop in yesterday with a friend for lunch. We walked into an empty restaurant with the exception of 2 people at the bar and one table of 4. We approached the wait stand and stood for 3-5 minutes before being acknowledged and sat. We quickly ordered our lunch specials (pick 2). Our Caesar salads arrived, but no croutons. When we asked our server for them we were told they didn't have any, but if we wanted them she would go check - nope that didn't make much sense. She returned stating they were used up the night before. Well, ok then. Our other selected item, half an Italian sub and slice of pizza with mushrooms arrived within a reasonable time. Food was good. Unfortunately it was just a very odd feel there - hardly anyone there - including workers, but again the food was decent. I did notice there was a puddle of water next to one of the middle tables that was not coming from the ceiling. . . but it just remained even though the server (and another customer) walked by it multiple times. From a safety standpoint this is an accident waiting to happen. Overall while service was interesting, she was very sweet and the food was decent. I'm sure hopeful Mellow Mushroom will get their act together overall since this is one of my long time faves. read more

Good quality and UNIQUE pizzas. I especially love the buffalo chicken with blue cheese. They used to give free pretzel bites and they really are awesome if you feel like you have room to try them out. If you're feeling adventurous get the spicy cheese! Service is always quick and attentive and I've never struggled with being seated. They do have rotating daily specials which include margaritas and the like. Oh and the Caesar salad is superb! read more

Just moved to the area and after a day of unpacking we needed a good meal in a cool place. Drove over to the town center and it was a complete disaster with traffic and wait times. We drove a 1/4 mile and were seated right away and drinks shortly after. It was busy but not chaotic! JC was our server and attended to our every request and oh yeah, the food was spot on!! read more

First off, let me say our server was excellent. I can remember everything I ate for dinner 2 years ago, but can't remember names very well. I think it was Jessie or Jamie or Josie or Jacobina. What I'm saying is it started with a J (I think). I was in the experimental stage of trying vegan items and she answered all of my newbie questions with care and assurance that some of the cooks were also vegan so they would make sure. Vegan Salad - Yes, that's an easy one I'm sure. The small house salad was not very small. It would be a large at some places for sure. I got the balsalmic vinaigrette dressing and they even replaced the shaved parmesan with vegan cheese. Nice! Plus this personal sized salad had about 7 times the amount of black olives as that Olive Garden salad where they expect you to split 1 olive! (I like olives) Custom Vegan Pizza - I ordered onions, kalamata olives (I like olives), and after asking some questions, the tempeh crumbles. The pizza came out and there was a lot more tempeh than I was expecting. The waitress did recommend having it tossed in some type of flavoring (BBQ), but I was going for a more classic flavor. She said some people love it and some don't and I'm just one that doesn't apparently. Anyway, the rest of the pizza was pretty darn tasty. The cheese was melted which can be an issue with some vegan cheeses, the thin crust was crunchy and chewy and not too thin. Toppings can add up in price, so beware! The Great White Pizza (not vegan and not fishy either) on thick crust was also pretty good. The toppings gave this a ton of flavor with the oils and garlic and basil. The real cheese also adds the flavor as well. It was a good pizza that also made up for great leftovers. (In the oven, not the microwave). The pizza can get pricey especially when adding a bunch of toppings (I added 3), so you may need to show some restraint or pick from one of their many specialty pizzas. They were generous with the toppings though, maybe a little too much. I will definitely be back as the staff is helpful and friendly and they have a lot of different options for vegans, vegetarians, and omnivores alike. Due to the price, it will be more of an indulgence than a regular trip. read more

10 out of 10, this mushroom mellowed my heart... and the kids too. Fresh made ingredients, seasonal options, magical drinks, and even vegan options. You can't go wrong with anything on the menu. Service could be improved - don't be surprised if you find your server hiding in the back - or your food takes a little long ....But from the mood music to the melting mouthful of magnificence, you won't be disappointed... no wonder they call it "mellow yellow mushroom . Enjoy good people read more

As someone who cannot eat gluten, I was a little disappointed in my experience at Mellow Mushroom. I have read about this place and was excited to try it. I ordered the gluten free pepperoni pizza. The pizza did not taste too good. I have certainly had better gluten free pizzas. It tasted kind of like a typical frozen pizza. It was also pretty small with 4 little slices and was $16. I ate it very quickly. read more

I LOVE the mellow mushroom! My absolute go to is the holy shiitake pie. The dough is always nice and chewy (which is something I specifically like when eating pizza) and the toppings are bomb!

Got a regular cheese. I'm from NY so obviously lowered my standards for pizza here in FL. I carried out and the pizza looked amazing in the box. Unfortunately it was rubbery and tasted like something I'd expect from Chuck E. Cheese. I won't be back but glad I tried. read more

This pizza chain never disappoint me. The baked wings, the Home pizza and the garlic bread were my favorite. Tbey were packed, so the service went slow, but other team members catch our server load. The ambiance is good, and I liked that at night they lower the lights to create a more calm environment. read more

So hungry I forgot to take pictures!!! This was my first time at this location, it was clean and spacious decor was nothing as funky as I have seen at other locations but Cassidy our server was great. After checking out menu my husband and I decided but upon checking in our order changed because you receive free pretzel bites with order of a pizza when you check in! We split a featured wedge salad with bacon and blue cheese (absolutely delicious, the lettuce was super fresh and crunchy) as well as a Buffalo chicken small pizza, this also had great flavor. The pretzel bites are a must! read more

My husband and I had a pleasant lunch date at the Mellow Mushroom. I was surprised when I checked in on Yelp here to get a free pretzel bite appetizer "with purchase of a pizza". Those pretzel bites tasted awesome. They came with a marinara sauce and cheesy bear dip sauce. I ordered the magic mushroom soup with a side of wings. I enjoyed eating both and thought it tasted delicious. My husband ordered their BBQ chicken pizza. He raved about how great the crust was and thought overall it was a very good pizza. The server was friendly and helpful. We will definitely come here again. read more

told me 5-10 minutes on my food twice. ended up waiting 40 minutes for a pizza....avoid their to go service.

Mellow Mushroom offers a unique twist on pizza, featuring creative pairings that range from classic marinara to flavorful pesto. Their menu also includes a variety of tempting appetizers like pretzels with beer cheese, chicken wings, fresh salads, and hearty soups. I highly recommend trying the Shiitake pizza and the Cosmic Karma. Great place to watch a game with friends or the entire family. read more

I haven't had Mellow Mushroom pizza in a long time and decided to try again and got a BBQ chicken pizza with ranch drizzled on top and gluten free pineapple. The BBQ chicken got messed up and bacon was put on instead of chicken but the manager was super nice and gave us a refund for that one. The gluten free crust is kind of tough and chewy but the flavor is so good. The building is super cute and has mushroom decor! They are pretty expensive for pizza, our total was $42 but overall would recommend! They even have different drink specials each night (like $4.50 sangria and $4 off margaritas :) ) read more

Service was friendly and the spot was really cool. Love the groovy menu's and theres a good amount of seating inside. Walked into the restaurant to get a drink at the bar and order takeout. Took about 20 minutes for a large pizza, medium pizza and wings. A little pricey, but pretty speedy for good food. The cloud 9 wings were pretty damn good, but on the menu it says they came with celery, yet..We got charged for it. We also got charged for a random drink that we never ordered. (The drink in the image was on a separate check). Also, the pizza too undercooked (for my liking). It wasn't busy so its not like they were in a rush. Could just be how they make their pizzas or because of the cook. I definitely would have had them throw it in the oven longer if I hadn't ordered it as takeout. read more

Mellow Mushroom, this is a place I used to go all the time years ago. I will be going back more often again because of two words: Cesar Pizza!!!! We were looking for a Saturday night bite to eat, drove down 50 in the M4 top down and then we saw nostalgia . Yes they are open to dining and we did see a few people inside. We did see that they were practicing safe distancing, the staff was wearing masks/gloves and constantly cleaning. David was pretty much running the show and did an excellent job. We did take our food to go and it was perfectly prepared, just how I remembered. The Cesar Pizza is a pizza topped with chicken and then they place a whole cesar salad on top. They didn't even ask, just automatically put the salad in a separate container (to avoid it being soggy) and provided us with yummy parmesan cheese. I did not take a picture *slaps hand* We were hungry and ate it before I could think to do so . I am starting to get excited about the possibilities of more restaurants opening, more businesses trying to get back to somewhat normal so I can continue to experience new places and give you the reviews you deserve read more

This may be my last time at this Mellow Mushroom. Like any good Yelper I check in as soon as I entered the door (I know there are free pretzel bites with any pizza order). Upon walking in the hostess seated us right away. When we sat in the booth in front of the kitchen the light flickering above us wasn't that bad, however, over time it got worse. The waitress (Shaylin) comes to take our drink order and I show her the free pretzel code. She tells me that they don't take Yelp coupons. I told her I've used it at this location and other Mellow Mushroom without any problem. She's like well let me get the code and see if it works. Ok sounds good, can we order now. Yes, of course!! It took her 20 minutes to come back to tell me no it's not working, so I tell her ok no problem but you can still bring us a order of the pretzel bites and just add it to the check. Food comes no pretzel bite she walks pass our table numerous of times but I'm at the point of just forget it. When your 16 year old kid wants pizza for dinner on Valentines Day you try to make as special as possible. read more

Mellow mushroom is my go-to pizza place from now on! It's a little pricey for what it is, but $30 for a large pizza that feeds three people is still pretty reasonable. I really enjoyed the feta cheese and pesto swirl on top of our Kosmic Karma - it really made it stand out flavor-wise. There is also a large variety of seating depending on the group you're with or the weather. The bar is also pretty well-stocked, so overall it's an adult crowd-pleaser. read more
