Mellow Mushroom (updated review) 409 Pooler Pkwy, Pooler GA 31322 May 20, 2021 - 5 PM for dinner 5 Adults (weird putting my daughter down as an adult.) Atmosphere - 5 stars Food - 5 stars Service - 5 stars Background - My daughter lives with her mom in the area.  Every visit we go to a Mellow Mushroom.  Whether in Savannah or Pooler, mostly to this location.  I have lost count. Atmosphere - First thing that grabs your eyes in the large robot at the hostess stand.  The place is filled with art from movies.  The place has super high ceilings and can get loud fast.  Tonight we were here early and the volume was not to bad. Food Drink - One of the reasons I like this place is a great beer selection.  I had two tonight.  First was Scofflaw Basement IPA.  This was followed by a brew that was created for the chain by Laguantis, Mellow Dog Daze.  Another solid IPA. Appetizer - My daughter told me that she wanted the pretzel bites before I had even checked in on the app.  Bam the bites are free with a check in.  Thanks to Yelp and Mellow Mushroom.  We normally get the pretzels and surprised that she wanted somethings else. Pizza - We went with a classic tonight.  A simple large pepperoni  that feed the three of us with ease.  The pepperoni were a little greasy but a little napkin padding took care of that.  My wife had a gluten free pizza, which the dough is made in house.  She loved it.  The pizza only comes in the 10 inch size, which is pretty much the norm as the lack of gluten makes it difficult to create a larger pizza. Service - Dealing with 5 people from my family must be fun for the waitress.  By fun I mean a headache.  She was great, hopefully we were not that bad. Future - Highly likely!! read more

Ordered a delivery order for the "pretzel" bites, a calzone and two of their cookies. The "pretzel" bites should not be called pretzel bites but rather pizza dough bites. They were chewy and tough. The calzone was made from the same dough and the majority of it was nearly flat, like a thin crust pizza. The cheese was tough and chewy as well. The cookies were fair. All in all, we ate two to three dough bites and 1/3 of the calzone because it simply was not good. Taste was below average and the dough was tough and chewy. Would not recommend and we will not order again. read more

I have eaten here many times and I always like the food. They have an excellent pizza crust and I love their Stromboli. They have some good drinks and their chocolate chip cookie is amazing. I also like their salads, they are fresh and flavorful. My only downside is that sometimes the service is a little lacking but it depends on time of day how busy the staff seems to be. Also, it is a bit expensive but I do feel the quality is good so I still come back. Overall, great experience and I will continue to eat here. read more

The food was delicious and phenomenal for a pizza. However, my experience here wasn't as great or expected to be. We came here with two families to celebrate my friend's daughter's birthday. We waited on initially, but need to say it wasn't our waitress fault because had her working the bar and waiting on our table in the bar area. It was pretty busy, but again they should have kept our waitress taking of the bar and not our table. We would watch other waiters and waitresses take care of everyone pretty quick. We asked another waitress who or where do our waitress go because we needed drink refills and we wanted to order another pizza and some more drinks. But after waiting so long we just decided to wait on the food and cash out quickly because out experience today wasn't what we expected. I am not blaming our waitress, to me the management should have kept a person full time at the bar and not doing both bar duty and waiting on tables. Other than my bad experience here. The pizza was really good. The crust is just perfect for a pizza. Not too think and not to thin either. read more

Best pizza I've had in this area of course would always recommend and will return Staff was exceptional and live the decors read more

We enjoyed our meal here. The pizza is great! Their spinach dip was amazing. The pretzel bites with garlic and Parmesan (basically garlic knots) were tasty and dipped in the spinach dip was 10/10. Their prices are not bad at all. $16.99 for a large cheese, $1.50 for a topping on 1/2 of the pizza. I feel like that's a very reasonable price. They were accommodating for a large group also. Highly recommend! read more

I've been to a number of Mellow Mushrooms in the US. It was fun to stumble across this location near Savannah, GA. We shared a small Greek Salad and. medium Funky Chicken Pizza. We had beer too. I had a real yummy draft Stout. The salad was their twist on a Greek Salad. We enjoyed it. The pizza was essentially a BBQ Chicken pizza with a mix of Cheddar and Mozzarella cheeses. We really enjoyed it and their crust is amazing. Too much food though. We thought we could eat a medium pizza between us but with the beer and salad, we could only eat half of it. read more

Craving for quality pizza - Mellow's the place to be! We did a curbside pickup due to the pandemic so the review doesn't cover ambience. However, they have recently opened their dining services as well. ~~ Food ~~ Fresh hand-made speciality pizzas : unusual delicious combinations . My all time favorite : the Holy Shiitake Pie! It's topped shiitake and a blend of other roasted mushrooms, caramelized onions and drizzled with delicious garlic aoili and truffle oil . It's absolutely delicious : a must try! They also have hoagies and sandwiches. They have Vegetarian and Vegan options. This time we ordered a half & half combination of of the Holy Shiitake and Veg out pies. Both sides of the pie were delightful. ~~ Service ~~ They offer both delivery and curbside service - however delivery only if you order online since it's done by DoorDash. I generally prefer to call since I can ask about substitutions and specials that I might not be able view to online. The person who took the order on call was very friendly and helpful with the choices. Approximately 20 minutes later we pulled into the ToGo spot and promptly received our order. I must add, the staff were all wearing masks, including the girl who brought us the order. ~~ Parking ~~ Plenty of parking available and also has ToGo spots for quick pick-ups. Overall great pizza and service ! We will be going back for more ! read more

Not really a great pizza, not really a great menu. Over priced. If you're looking to drink a Gin and Tonic, think again!!!!! For some strange reason they DO NOT have tonic water!!!! Only place I've ever been and they don't have tonic water. Other than that try it for yourself and either you'll agree with me or you won't read more

Good pizza. Great ambiance for the teenage crowd I was treating to dinner. Decent service for mostly high schoolers running the place.

Don't get me wrong, I'm still a mellow mushroom fan. I haven't been here in maybe a year and they change the bread on the cheese bread. Bartender said they changed suppliers. One less thing I can over indulge in because I wont be ordering it again. Couldnt finish it. I'm crying. The other bread was crispy and had seeds on it. This is kind of like toasted white bread. Waiting on my cinnamon pretzel as I type this, fingers crossed the pizza dough hasn't changed as well. There is a guy training behind the bar and um, no customer service skills whatsoever. When I return he will not be waiting on me. I mean hes not the one serving me, but when I make eye contact he doesnt say hello, give a half smile or nothing. Is he nervous maybe? I don't know but it's a weird feeling. Ok pretzel came out and it's still good! Yay! Bartender just left gonna ask him for something just to interact......so he does talk. Um, I guess he alright. Sorry this review is all over the place, I normally wait til later to do these. :) Ok last thing, he asked to remove my my plate and even smiled and made contact. Is that the whole hey its check time let me try to close nicely because its tip time or was it genuine? Ok, he grabbed my check while I was still sitting here, like yea no. Let me go home! read more

So I'm a little biased when it comes to mellow mushroom because it's my favorite chain restaurant. However this location proved once again why I love this place. Great staff and excellent food. Everything cooked well, drinks rolled out quickly and worth the 7 bucks a glass. They have some seasonal drinks out now and I recommend giving the Jack Frost and Santa's Sleigh a try. Jack Frost is a slushy drink and the other is a typical mix drink, both are on point. Santa's sleigh is a vodka based drink with pineapple and cranberry juice. The Jack Frost is magic I guess because I've got no idea what was in there, sorry! read more

Every time we come here the hostess always seems like a deer in the headlights and makes our visit subpar from the start. We are never acknowledged when coming in and then they seem lost. They really need to be train a bit more. We came in today and didn't even take our names down and then sat the person that just walked through the door after us first. read more

Order takeout on a Friday night The food was ready on time the staff very friendly, we ordered the Kosmic Karma pizza with artichoke added, a plain pizza, and a Caesar salad. Both pizzas were great. The salad very disappointing with stale croutons and brown romaine. I will be back for the pizza and may try some other options. I do recommended this restaurant read more

The atmosphere at this mellow mushroom was different than any other I have been to. It felt like a restaurant/sports bar and everyone seemed to be having a good time. They had drink specials on a Friday night which isn't to usual for restaurants unless your in a social bar. I ordered the calzone with steak and cheese. The green peppers and onions were a bit over bearing but the bread was amazing and the steak was well cooked. Waiter was relaxed and chill and pretty fast on orders. The food didn't take too long. My friends and I had a good time. read more

This pizza is by far, the best pizza we have had since we moved to GA. We passed this place the other day and thought we should check it out. I was a bit skeptical at first, because all the other pizza places we have been to haven't exactly been stellar. I love the atmosphere of the place and all the décor. It smells like fresh pizza (which it is), and the staff was so nice. We ordered drinks, which were delicious, and then appetizers. I had the spinach artichoke dip (delish!) and we also had the pretzel dip. We ordered the house pizza, and the place was very flexible with its topping switch-out policy. The food was exquisite! The thin crust was crunchy, which was amazing. While yes, the prices are a little high, the awesome pizza/appetizers was definitely worth it. 5 stars, would highly recommend. read more

My gf and I love pizza and we only went to this place because of the pretzel bites and homemade pizza. Well the pretzel bites aren't even close to being pretzel bites. When did pretzel bites have garlic and no salt and served with red pasta sauce? Especially the pizza, it was good but half of my toppings fell off trying to take my first bite. The cheese is the only thing that saved this place and the breading. But for pretzel bites and a large pizza it costed $50. I could've had 2 stuffed crust Pizza Hut pizzas and a couple months of Netflix for that price. Well now I know I can make my own pizza and sell it for $30 in my kitchen. read more

It was our first time here. They were not busy at all. The food was so good. Our waitress was great. The place was very clean. I would say I will be back. Just wish they had more side options to choose from. It just maybe because of Covid but seeing that it was my first time i do not know for sure. It did take a little while to get our food which surprised me since they were not busy. Other than that everything was really good. read more

Amazing food! Great atmosphere, service was great! In the area this is a must to experience

Ordered a takeout Sausage and cheese pizza. It was delicious and cooked to order and ready when I got to the restaurant. When I asked for Parmesan cheese for to go they were accommodating and the pizza bakers prepared it for me. I am only demoting them 1 star because I would have rather had a pepperoni and cheese pizza but they were out of pepperonis when I called. Also, looking through other reviews this seems to have happened before as well. But still, overall great pizza and great service! read more

We spent the day in Savannah on St. Paddy's Day and wanted a break from the madness somewhere where we could watch some March Madness. Since all of the sports bars in Savannah were in the heart of the action, we made the drive to Pooler to stop by Mellow Mushroom. I've been to Mellow Mushroom in both North Carolina and Texas. It's a hippie pizza chain that sprinkles magical goodness on their dough and in their dough. I don't know what it is but their pizza tastes different than any other pizza I've had...in a good way. This location was in a large shopping center so finding parking wasn't tough. We ended up ordering the pretzel bites appetizer which comes with a cheese dipping sauce. We then shared a barbeque chicken pizza. Both were great and it was a lot of food! We were stuffed and still had some leftover to take with us. The downside was that our waitress was really slow. She barely came by to check on us and I had to make efforts to get her attention every time I needed something. Also, their WiFi, which they do have, wasn't working when I was there. You could connect to the network but it was so slow that it wasn't functional. Added bonus: free Yelp check-in offer (pretzel bites)! read more

Go with the expectation that this pizza takes time to cook. Order an app (the bruschetta) and a drink, and enjoy the company while you wait on delicious pizza! read more

Good pizza and good service. The walls are super cute and they have a great drink menu.

Excellent service with Elijah, he was great and very knowledgeable. Food was awesome and we made it just in time for happy hour too. Will definitely be back soon. read more

I just ordered a calzone . I all I can say about it is that it is doughy and limp. Seems like it's not even cooked. It is literally gross. Done with MM. https://cdn11.bigcommerce.com/s-cjh14ahqln/product_images/uploaded_images/italiancalzone-3.jpg. This is how a calzone should look. read more

Pizza is amazing! Service was good but a little slow. I will definitely visit again.

We stop here a couple times per year on our way to Richmond Va and back to Florida. Always look forward to the pizza. Ordered wings - they were dried out and served with carrots and celery that should never have come out of the kitchen. Rubbery and brown. Pointed out to bartender. Asked her to share with manager. She apologized. Not sure she shared with manager as there wasn't any acknowledgement that this was passed on to the kitchen. Very simple message here - don't share food that you wouldn't eat yourself. We will not return. read more

Mellow Mushroom is a very family friendly type of restaurant. It was actually pretty packed and there seemed to be kids at almost all of the tables. If you need to catch a game, there's a bar on the right side of the restaurant. Food: + Shiitake Mushroom Pizza: definitely get it.. it's delicious! + Local pizza (jerk chicken, pineapple, banana peppers): didn't like as much. The banana peppers overpowered the other toppings & flavors. + Check in to Yelp for a free salad. The restaurant decorations are vibrant & very colorful.. life-size Iron Man, Transformer, & Spider-Man are all joining you for a pizza party. read more
