wow! I can't believe some of the peoples reviews about MM. all you people who are complaing about it bring over priced need to really look at a menu online before you go out to eat. if your smart enough to use this site your smart enough to find an online menu. and if its to expensive go eat somewhere else thats in your budget and stop ranking on a place that serves good fresh quality food. maybe its just that your to use to eating sandwiches from subway and pizza from dominoes and sucking back some cold keystones. I know that it's a free country buy please at least know wtf your talking about. oh ya and you who bitch about the service on weekends your the problem. if you really want to enjoy a night out here's some advice. try going out on a weekday. it's amateur night on weekends. if you were a diner you'd know this. all you people who scurry out at 7 on a fri or sat night and expect the world need to get real and understand that your creating the problem. do us all a favor and shut up and order take out and eat it in your doublewide. and that all I have to say about that. read more

This is one of my favorite pizza places! I like the variety of the menu, the great flavor of the crust & the wonderful service that we always get.. No matter if we create our own or order one of the specialty pizza they are always great! Their calzones are just a good & could feed two people! They also have a great build your own salad on the menu that I have never seen before. A must try! read more

This restaurant is only about 2 miles from my home, so I have been there a few times. First of all, I think that the pizza is pretty good. It's not the best pizza that I've ever had, but the sauce is very tangy in the crust is excellent. That being said, I can never understand why I have to pay for each and every ingredient that goes into my salad. The bill is always quite pricey, as I can never get out of there without paying less then $40-$50 for two people. The restaurant is usually busy, so apparently a lot of people don't mind that the acoustics in the building make it so that you have to yell at each other across the table. It is quite loud. However, the outside dining patio is nice, but you have people in their cars pulling up right next to you and the last thing you want is to smell exhaust when you're trying to eat your pizza. All in all good things about this place. If you're wanting to try a different type of pizza, I would highly recommend this place. Just know that they're going to charge you for each and every tomato and cucumber you put in your salad. read more

The best pizza ever- the fun guy! The spinach and artichoke dip is great, too! Half price drinks for happy hour.

Went in for dinner and I've never experience such poor service in my life. Fr the hostess to the servers to the bartenders. The hostess was annoyed of us when we asked to sit in the bar to watch the game, we even apologized for asking to sit in the bar but she ignored us. Our server was just so rude. She didn't seem to care about our table and we felt like she was annoyed of us for sitting with her. When she dropped off straws to our table I had mentioned we were ready to order when she was ready and had time. She took my order and began to walk away, my friend had to ask her to wait because she wanted to order as well. She kept trying to walk away after each person tried to order, after the third person I told her that we were all going to be eating dinner. I understand when a server is busy but I told her to we were ready to order when "YOUR" ready. She could of came back when she had a minute rather than trying to escape after each individual at the table tried to order. She rushed us through our meal and dropped off the check immediately. No dessert or coffee was offered. The bartenders were even worst. I was annoyed when our server tried to rush us so I decided to get a second drink from the bar. Chris was having small talk with another person, Kara completely ignored me. She stood at the end of the bar and pretended I wasn't staring at her waiting to order my drink. Finally Chris came up to me, I asked about happy hour and Chris told me that it wasn't happy hour. I was genuinely confused because I thought it was 10 pm. I asked Chris what time it was and his response was "Not 10!" Okay cool that's not what I asked though. The guest sitting next to me told me what time it was, it was 9:57. So then Chris told me I can order my drink with my server, after I'd been waiting at the bar. I was really annoyed about that too because my server already closed is out ( we never asked for the check by the way, she tried to rush us) and we just wanted to stay back have a few more drinks. I have never in my life experience overall bad service and I'm in the industry myself so I try to be understanding but come on. This was just horrible. I don't recommend this place unless you want cheap drinks and don't care about being treated like crap. read more

My favorite place too eat! Great service friendly people. The only place we always stop in phx when we visit.

Finally a place that northern phoenicians can go to to get good beer. Very much more like a pizza joint than a bar even though they have a wide variety of good beers, both local, microbrew and imports. A little more like North Scottsdale prices than North Phoenix prices though which is funny since they are going to open one in North Scottsdale from what they told me. The pizzas were heavily crust oriented with a sweet crust, almost honeylike.Being the only real game in the area they will do good so if you like pizza and beer check them out. read more

I previously had written a bad review but now I am updating it. Service was terrible the last few times but I will say the management exceeds my expectations. After posting my review the management promptly responded to me and apologized. Hopefully the issues have been corrected. We have not had a chance to go back yet but soon. Again as for the Pizza it is really good. Again a little pricey as their main thing is the specialty pizzas not just your usual pepperoni. Definitely worth the visit. read more

I was so excited to come to Mellow Mushroom as it was a place I frequented when I lived in Atlanta. Needless to say, it is close but not the same as the ATL. We tried this location on two separate occasions. My favorite item is the parmesan pretzels, but they are way to greasy here. The food is a little pricey for what you get. Also, the last time we were here, at the end of dinner, I sucked up a dirty straw wrapper in my water. Needless to say, I won't be back any time soon. read more

i wanted something different and had to find a middle point, there are many restaraunts in the area but nothing great, we decided mellow mushroom it would be. we sat outside but were impressed with the clean, spacious dining area. our server jody was very good , he was suggestive and patient as we looked over the overwhelming menu choices. the pizza was delishhhhh.... the sandwiches how ever are nothing special. 38 beers on tap, but offer cans of miller lite...definatly my new spot for pizza and a cold one. read more

Love Love Love Mellow Mushroom Happy Hour! Great place for me and my friends to hang out and have great beer and great food. Love just sitting on tha patio and enjoying the evenings. read more

Server failed to tell us it was happy hour. Food is pretty good. The place was very loud.

I wouldn't recommend this place at all. I can make a better looking plate than these guys. I will Not be going there anymore.

The place is nice, the food is ok. The customer service is hands down the worst. We purchased a groupon and they were very hesitant to accept it. The manager came and told me I had to split my table and create a gap in order to be able to use two groupons (even though the groupon says one per table). The waitress was very rude from the start and the manager was just trying to back her up by what she said. It was very upsetting as a groupon customer to be denied my groupon, which happens to be the reason I came here. As a business owner this is doing the opposite as advertisement it is hurting the business. I would personally like to have higher management contact me about this, this is how upsetting and embarrassing this situation is. read more

Just not an ordinary pizza - lots of different choices which I found to be great. Love the food there. Sat at the bar and found bartenders Keith and Morgan to be extremely friendly and sociable. Great customer service. I definatley would recommend you drop by and try this place. I know I will be doing back!!!! read more

Mellow Mushroom is our favorite place to go. We will go out of our way just to get their pizza, and their pretzels are amazing.They have the best pizza in town and I am a pretty harsh critic when it comes to pizza. Their dough is the best tasting dough I have ever had, their happy hour is awesome! and they have a really good Caesar salad. So I highly recommend Mellow Mushroom to anyone who wants delicious pizza with great customer service. read more

I really enjoy coming here- best place for some great, unique pizza options. Plus, the crust is awesome! Also, the cheese stuff meatballs are delicious. If you're in the area, I suggest you give it a try and enjoy some wine and pizza. read more

One of my favorite places to sit down with friends for good food and an even better drink selection. With over 75 beer choices, you won't have any problem finding something you'd like. The food has always been tasteful and fresh every time I've ordered with great service making you feel comfortable and welcome. The biggest reason this place keeps calling me back is cause the great happy hour(s) they have with some of the lowest drink and food prices in the whole area. read more

I recently moved to the way north valley and was so excited to find this restaurant! I have been here several times now and had a great experience every time! It's a family restaurant in the dining room, but the bar area feels like a local neighborhood bar too. As a vegetarian, there are many delicious options for me. I love the Tempeh sandwich, the hummus appetizer, and the veggie pizza. The crust is amazing! The last few times I've gone in Charlotte has been my bartender. With the huge selection of beers I just ask her to pick one for me and she's recommended a great one every time! read more

I have been frequenting Mellow since its opening, but recently have notified a drastic decrease in the quality of most food items on the menu. I do not mind paying a premium price for premium quality food, which is what I used to get at Mellow, but now I'm paying top dollar for mediocre food and mediocre portions, we used to order the $7 Capri (tomato,mozzarella,basil) and struggle to finish it. Now, it's a joke! They use extremely small tomatoes, quarter size pieces of mozzarella, but still charge $7. The pizza is now hit or miss, when it's on it's still one of the best, but last week we had to send it back twice, once it arrived raw and then was returned burnt. I'm not to the point of swearing them off, but for the price my patience is thin. Get your act together Mellow! read more

Good food, GREAT beer selection... altogether a great hangout for a Friday night. Fast and friendly service, never a long wait or anything like that. Prices are alright, but let me stress this place probably has the best beer selection in town so if beer is your thing (like my boyfriend) you would LOVE this place. :) read more

Wow, this is some big pizza! We went with my brothers groupon deal and got a ton of starter pretzels and two enormous pizzas. The menu is wacky, the food is delicious. There is a pleasant atmosphere and the service was pretty great. I will be going back soon! read more

i had heard good things about this place, but ended up disappointed in the overall experience. They claim to have a lot of draft beers, but when we ordered a Guinness, they didn't have it. In fact, they were out of about 15 beers. We ordered some wings and pizza. The wings were small, but tasted ok. The pizza took forever... the waitress finally came and said the pizza had been burnt so they had to make another one and it would be another 6 minutes (what precision) but it ended up being at least 12. The pizza was ok. We had the holy shiitake which had a garlic aioli that tasted like mayonnaise. i'll stick to oregano's. read more

A friend and I went to Mellow Mushroom tonight for the first time. Wow, the food was great. We split a Mighty Meaty pizza and a greek salad. Definitely hit the spot. But even better was the attitude of our server. Cameron was attentive (but not overly attentive), and had such a terrific personality. He made us feel like we were sitting in the VIP section of the restaurant. We also noticed that he treated all the tables he was serving with the same respect and attentiveness he gave to us. This guy is a gem. We will definitely keep this place on our list of favorites. read more

Always have a great time when we go to mellow! Bartenders are awesome, know what we like and have it ready!

We love the food here, but to be honest, we won't be going here again. We waited an hour for our personal pizzas, it was freezing, it is extremely loud and the service is sub-par. We had to wave down another waiter for our check, and even that took forever. Honestly, this place needs a quicker and more efficient way to cook the pizzas. Waiting an hour is not acceptable. read more

Mellow mushroom has the best staff! AMBER, Kara, Chris, Lissette and Marlena always take excellent care of us at the bar. They're always attentive to our needs and we leave happy every time. The pizza is always amazing no matter what kind you order and the pretzels are a great appetizer if you are just hanging out for a beer with a few friends! This is always my go-to spot any night of the week! Keep up the great service and food, we love it here! read more

Went here for the first time today. Tried one of their pizzas. It was fantastic. The pieces are huge and completely worth the price. The artichoke dip was really great too. it was a very nice setting. I would recommend this place to anyone. read more

While visiting Phoenix for a long weekend, we ate here two days in a row. The first day started out very well with a lunch of the Kosmic Karma pizza - with the addition of sausage. Very good late night leftovers that night, as well! The next day, before our flight left, we stopped here for a quick lunch/dinner since we thought the food the day before was decent. My friend got the steak and cheese hoagie - while she proceeded to eat it - she found a hair! We pointed this out to the bartender (as we sat at the bar) and she just threw it away and brought us our bill. She never informed the cook or manager. She also did not take off the price of my friend's meal. In a restaurant setting - this is inappropriate! Will not return on my next visit to Phoenix... read more

Good food, willing to accommodate a large group, a little loud but worth it

Food was excellent, however, the servers are given WAY too many tables that they could handle. I work in the restaraunt industry and i couldn't believe our server was running her food as well as taking care of SIX tables. Our drinks were empty a good 3/4ths of our dinner and we couldn't help but feel bad for our server and feel bad to even say anything. The young kid who appeared to be the manager was busy running around and chatting with other female workers, clearly whoever gave him the position has no idea what they are doing. He didn't seem to care about empty drinks on guests tables or the fact that his servers are in the weeds and could need help. Management of the restaurant really should be more thought out. Hire some food runners or give your servers less tables so they can be with the guests for more than just the two minute greet of the table. Food a solid 5 stars, service and management a solid 2 read more

Super loud. Salads are a sad story. Good choice of craft beers. Pizza is good. Lots of family's eating here

Went here specifically to get the North Mountain Creem ale, but they had taken it off tap. So disappointed, ended up just drinking water instead. read more

Good food, great variations of pizza topping combinations. Service a bit slow but probably a bit more due to time to bake than the service itself. read more

It was all good till the very end. Try the spinach dip - awesome! Our server was great too. The combo large pizza was pretty good too. We had some left over pizza so we boxed it up and hung out at our table right in front of the where they tossed the pizza. Pretty cool! All was well till the very last moment. We got up to leave and hadn't even made it to the door and "oops" forgot the pizza! Literally turned around and the table busser had thrown our pizza in the trash! We weren't 10 feet away, not even out the door! Seriously! Wow. What really upsets us is that the busser was real quick to respond - "you left the table". I was like what? You couldn't even make the slightest extra effort to say "hey don't forget your pizza". It was boxed! We didn't intend to leave it behind. Nope, instantly in the trash. A entire half a pizza. Not exactly cheap pizza either. So bottom line is - won't be back. Over such a small but infuriating circumstance. "The difference between good and great is that tiny little extra effort." read more

Best beer program in AZ. Jenna is a true professional who obviously cares and it shows every time I enjoy a -"beer-perience "

Food is great! Little bit on the pricy side, but very much worth it! I always get the soft pretzels and the cheesebread! So good! Their pizza is to die for! I love how they have the reverse happy hour too! read more

Delicious, I get hungry every time I pass by this place. I like they are open late when Im coming here with my friends

We have been here a few times and have experienced mostly good food and service. Today we sat at the bar at around 11:10 AM for beers and a pizza. The bartender was stocking the bar and getting ready for the day. There were only three groups of patrons at the bar (total of 8 people) but the bartender was very passive, even making a comment to one group that they were "so busy" - as he tried to figure out how to change the TV station for them (commenting further that he had worked there for six years). We were never asked how the food was and we had to ask for another beer after our empty glasses sat for quite some time. Upon leaving we asked for a manager and the bartender said he would try but there was a line for service. Working in the industry of customer service myself, I was very disappointed and will choose to go elsewhere next time. It was interesting how vacant the parking lot was considering the "we are so busy" comment. Bartender seems like a nice guy and knows about beer but should work on making each customer seem like the only customer that will be in his bar that day. read more

Walked into mellow mushroom on happy valley and I-17. I was first told if i read the sign on the door. I said no. They told my family and i that they lost their liquor license and we could not have alcohol. We said no problem we want food. We should've known that was a problem. We first ordered wings, and Parmesan pretzel bites. Then ordering a house pizza with pepperoni meat only and a chicken bbq pizza. I had one slice of the chicken bbq pizza. We spent over 100$ on all this food. Fast forward to the next morning, my boyfriend, my sister, my niece and i all got food poisoning. Guess what we all had in common!?? Then chicken bbq pizza. A day later i went to urgent care as i was not getting better. Two meds later and then telling me i had food poisoning...while still puking all night...to the hospital i went the next day. Two bags of iv fluids and anti nausea meds later then hospital tells me i was suspected of food poisoning. Did i mention this is my vacation and I've been sick for three days!? Called the restaurant to tell them what happened. I spoke with the manager Keith. He told me he would try and get someone to call me but it's the weekend. I said if someone doesn't call me by Monday I'm calling again. Keith then laughed and said ok. No apology nothing! Just laughed! The worst service I've ever had and two hospitals later with multiple different prescriptions! What a joke this place is!!! Don't ever go somewhere that lost their liquor license!!! And don't ever eat their chicken! Clearly they can't properly handle and cook their own food!!!! DO NOT RECOMMEND! and to Keith terrible management skills. read more
