It turned out that a mistake happened in the kitchen they came out immediately told us. Everyone was great they fixed the problem and brought out the pizza rather quickly. Fantastic service I will be back soon! read more

Mellow Mushroom Rocky River - Holy Shiitake - Pizza Near Me - Rocky River, Ohio

Mellow Mushroom overall is a 3.5 star, but I've enjoyed my food on both visits so I'll round up for good food. The location is easy to access in the downtown Rocky River area. There are parking spots in front on the street or the lot behind the building. The inside of the restaurant is large with plenty of tables and a large bar area. They even have a rolling door that can be opened on nice days. The menu offers a variety of options from salads to pizzas to calzones. There are suggested pizza combinations and also the option to create your own pizza or calzone. Pizzas are offered in a couple of sizes so they can be ordered as a large portion for one or to be shared. I'd suggest going with the suggested pizzas if you want toppings because creating your own can get pricey. On my most recent visit I enjoyed a local beer and a Buffalo Chicken Pizza. The pizza was great. I really like their crust consistency and flavor. The amount of toppings was perfect. Even the small pizza is more than enough for me. It could probably be shared between two people with a starter or salad. The first time I dined here we started with Pretzel Bites that were soft inside and tasty. The Lil Greek Salad was much more than little and full with a variety of vegetables. The Greek dressing was tasty. The service was friendly and attentive. We were warned after ordering that pizzas would take 20-30 minutes to bake and it ended up being closer to the 30 minute mark. On both visits the restaurant only had a few tables of diners. Even with warning that does seem to be a little long for a pizza spot that wasn't busy. Overall, it's fine as long as you aren't starving or plan to start with an appetizer or salad. read more

Mellow Mushroom Rocky River - Buffalo Chicken Pizza - Pizza Near Me - Rocky River, Ohio

Picked up a to go order. It was on time. Someone greeted me right away. Customer service was friendly. The cheese pizza was okay - definitely nothing special. Too much sauce for my liking. Spills out of your bite. The jerk wings were quite small but very good. And reasonably priced so no points deducted for being smaller than average. The enlightened spinach salad was good. I'll go again but skip the pizza. read more

So good! I am a pizza snob and was pleasantly shocked. The dough was delicious, sauce was good, tried aoili and red!

Came in on a Wednesday night before a show at Playhouse Square. Seemed like they had one employee for every guest, yet somehow, we got the airhead. But let's focus on the positive first... Started with an order of spinach and artichoke dip. Came to the table bubbling! Not only was it hot, it was very tasty. It didn't have enough croutons for the bowl of dip, and we were never offered more. Did I mention our server was an air head? For dinner, we got 2 small calzones. The daughter had the Thai Dye Chicken. It included Thai chicken, cucumbers, and a duck sauce. Who would have ever thought to put that all on a pizza? I had the shitakii mushroom pizza and asked for Italian sausage to be added. Got the basic calzone with no sausage. The calzone was very good, with enough cheese that bind you up for a day. But no mushrooms. Did I mention our waitress was an air head? So on to the server. She was a soft talker, made a number of mistakes, including challenging me on what beers were on tap (first time in and I knew the draft selection better than she did. ). When we got the bill, I asked if I was Berea my charges for the sausage. She said sorry, but never acknowledged her error. On a positive note, the food came out quickly and the beers were happy hour discounted. . read more

Review from my 6 year old daughter: Mellow Mushroom is the best place I've ever eaten at. They're pizza is the greatest pizza ever. I don't really like red sauce but I ate it and it was SUPER good! Also, the walls are pretty cool, it has a pirate statue, a mermaid playing a guitar and a flying fish. If you have kids my age, pretty please take them here! read more

Mellow Mushroom Rocky River - I love this place! - Pizza Near Me - Rocky River, Ohio

Ordered from the website and was notified pizza was ready. Showed up and they claimed they lost the ticket and ended up waiting an additional 25 minutes for a pick up order. Pizza still good quality for the Cleveland area. Just maybe wish for some more organization, ironically on a not very busy Saturday night. read more

We have had their pizza 3 times now...take out. The Shiitake Mushroom and the House Pizza. Can't say enough good things about their pizza. The crust was the BEST! Everything about them was delicious!!! Order was on time. Employees are extremely courteous! We will definitely order again! read more

Ironically my daughter was telling me a story that some friends had a bad experience of not getting their order correct and waiting a long time for their order....just when or server came to us and said the kitchen had made a mistake with our order and was making us a new pizza so the good out of it was out server said we could take the incorrect pizza home if we wanted and the kitchen was making our new pizza. The restaurant was not busy, the new pizza took a little while. Beer was good, vege pizza with garlic olive oil was good. Hannah our service was fantastic and gracious!!! read more

Mellow Mushroom Rocky River - Wednesday mother daughter night...kosmic pizza with pesto yum!!! - Pizza Near Me - Rocky River, Ohio

Even though this place is a little pricey and the pizza takes a fair bit of time, it's my favorite place to get a pie. Honestly, I don't think you can go wrong ordering anything they offer (I worked here for a few months when they first opened so I have literally tried 90% of the menu). All the appetizers are yummy, especially the Pretzel Bites with beer cheese, and I really love the Enlightened Spinach Salad. For the pizzas, I highly recommend the Buffalo Chicken, Magical Mystery Tour, and Loaded Potato Pie. read more

Came in no one was at the counter no acknowledgement for 5 minutes. When finally sat 10 minutes no acknowledgement. Did not wanna wait any longer for bad service so I left and went someplace else.. This place usually has good food but only thing to rate on here is poor service. read more

I ordered wings and a salad through UberEats and was not disappointed. The wings were plain but perfectly crispy. The Greek Salad was very good, and the small was very generously sized. Fresh ingredients, wonderful dressings. I look forward to trying the pizza. read more

Tasty laid back especially during special times. The pizza toppings are fresh and strewn across a garlicy Parmesaned crust and the salads are huge and veggietastic. Happy hour M-F from 3-630. Weekly specials: M $3 Drafs, T $3.50 Local Drafts, W $3.50 Cab and Chard, R $3 Margs and LIT The atmosphere is psychedelic and inviting. Big old porch to hang out on. Bathrooms are goofy. Great view of the dining room while you use the urinal. read more

Nice pizza joint for a family pizza meal. Server was prompt and friendly. Pizza was fresh and both sausage and pepperoni and the cosmic carma pizzas were loaded with toppings. It was enough to take home and was good when reheated. Keep expectations reasonable but give it a try. read more

Pizza was delicious, as well as an extensive drink menu. Mellow Mushroom carries my new favorite shandy from Market Garden which paired perfectly with a buffalo chicken pizza! Service was a bit slow which is totally understandable as it was only a few weeks after re-opening. One of the best pizzas in CLE! read more

Mellow Mushroom Rocky River - Pizza Near Me - Rocky River, Ohio

Mellow Mushroom is such a unique pizza place, due to their well-themed and eclectic decor. It all looks very "psychedelic" and fun. As far as food, we started with the pesto garlic cheese bread. The bread came in large portions and would be suitable for 2-6 people or so. I felt the bread was really nothing special and lacked garlic. There was plenty of melty ooey gooey cheese, which was delicious, but not much garlic. For my entree, I ordered a small Mighty Meaty pizza. The pizza was heavily topped and the crust could barely support it. It was flavorful and filling. The crust is coated with parmesan, which was delicious. My only con to this pizza is that I felt like there was a LOT of sauce-- even with all of the toppings, the sauce was a very prominent part of the dish. It also made for a very messy pizza. Next time I go back, I think I'll try the garlic and oil pizza base instead of the red sauce. The pizza is also huge, even for a small. It comes with four slices. But each slice is about the size of 2 traditional slices, in my opinion. I ended up eating two and taking two home. One other plus worth noting is that they do have several local specialties available at this location only, which is nice. One other con worth noting is that you really are better off ordering one of the existing specialty pizzas. If you build your own, you really are nickel and dimed for every topping-- with some of the toppings like chicken or mozzarella being charged as 2 toppings (since they're a little more premium?) I debated building my own with bacon, sausage, basil, spinach, garlic, and mozzarella, but the price came out to way more than the Mighty Meaty pizza I ultimately decided on. The service was great and our server, Sally, was upbeat, positive, and friendly. It was relatively empty when we first arrived around 5pm on a Sunday, but quickly picked up and got pretty busy by the time we left. I'll be back for sure-- but will probably try a different sauce or ask them to go "light" on the sauce. read more

We love this place! The apps are always a good way to start. We usually get the pretzel bites! Great sauce with them, so good! We usually try the specialty pizzas and they are always amazing. Good quality, great crust. We get a medium for 2 and always take a slice home, and eat it when we get home! Funky fun atmosphere. Great beer list! read more

I'm surprised by the lower overall rating of 3.5 stars for Mellow Mushroom. I suppose everyone has a different experiences and expectations. In my three visits to Mellow Mushroom, I've always enjoyed a clean restaurant, friendly service, and unique pizza flavor combinations. My most recent visit found me dining with my two sons. Each of us ordered our own 10" pizza (we can never agree on 1 or 2 selections between us). My oldest ordered the "Pacific Rim," my youngest a plain cheese (there's one in every crowd), and I ordered a pepperoni, mushroom, sausage, and black olive for myself. The "Pacific Rim" comes with red sauce base with mozzarella, ham, bacon, caramelized onions, pineapple and jalapeños. I don't know what it is with that kid and pineapple on pizza (shades of his mother, I guess) but I have to admit that I tried half of a piece and it was really delicious. I did not try the cheese that my youngest ordered, but the pepperoni, mushroom, sausage, and black olive (which I would consider a more standard, conventional pizza) that I ordered for myself was also really good. Chewy crust, robust sauce, a plethora of toppings... For a dine-in pizza chain I don't know where you can get better. A variety of other items are also available on their menu from appetizers to salads; from calzones to sandwiches; they even have desserts. While I have not personally tried any of these other offerings just yet, I'm definitely considering a calzone on my next visit. After three visits I'm satisfied that Mellow Mushroom is as consistent as they come. They've made my list of great little stops in Rocky River. read more

There is not a lot to say about Mellow Mushroom. It's some damn good pizza with a buttery crust and perfectly melted cheese all topped with parmesan the pizza is very good. Only one single complaint and that is the wait time. Typically pizza will take around 15 minutes this take double that length, but it is well worth the wait. Five Stars read more

Mellow Mushroom Rocky River - A Pepperoni Pizza With Red Sauce. - Pizza Near Me - Rocky River, Ohio

OK I'm impressed. Was near Rocky River so I figured I would stop at the Mellow Mushroom and try the pizza. Located on Detroit, MM is a large room with high ceilings, exposed ducts and plenty of 70's rock art. The effect is nice, with a groovy mood. Since it was Monday I figured I would go for the $5 small cheese pie. The pizza is excellent, with a nice balance of the 3 key elements. The crust is nicely yeasty with some big air pockets and a good chewy texture. The sauce is a good sweet sauce, which could have used a bit more spice, but worked well with the other parts. Topped with an excellent portion of tangy cheese and then finished with some grated Ptarmigan. Overall an excellent pizza. A strong recommendation if you are a Za fan. Also for the guys, check out the two portholes over the urinals which give you a view of the dining room, something just a bit different. read more

I will forever be loyal to Mellow Mushroom's pretzels and beer cheese. It's a love hate relationship. I love that they've introduced me to beer cheese and I hate that they have since not every pizza/wing joint has it and gives me the weirdest of looks when I ask if they do. Can't blame a girl for tryin' ‍ I can only recommend what I've had, which is their chicken cesar salad, pepperoni and mushroom pizza, pepperoni and black olive pizza, chicken and black olive pizza, pretzel bites with beer cheese and last, but not least the whole pretzels with beer cheese. Obviously this wasn't all at once, but I might try it one day. From the list above you can see that they have a wide range of topping options, which is always a plus. The only thing I'd change is their happy hour. If they could just get on the same page as many of the other Mellow Mushrooms across the nation they'd have me there weekly. On the other hand, maybe that's not a good thing. Haha read more

This is my favorite restaurant to eat at and it has been for a couple months now! I love the atmosphere and the food is amazing. I highly recommend the spinach artichoke dip and the Buffalo chicken pizza. You really can't go wrong with any of the pizza at this place. This place also has amazing ranch! read more

Went here for Father's Day and it was ok. The pizza was dry to me but the Caesar salad was good. My hubs had the Cobb salad and the kids had pizza. Meh. We went tonight just me and the hubs because he really wanted that Cobb salad again. Our food specialist was super nice. She was very attentive. We had the Spinach Artichoke dip and while the dip is good, the bread taste weird. I can't describe it but it's weird. My salad was great after adding pineapples, bacon and peppers. We also ordered pizza and this time, it wasn't dry! It was very good if. Must say so. Our pizza had pineapple (yes, it belongs on pizza), jalapeños, ham and bacon. Oh pepperonis too. It was very good. The hubs had his Cobb salad and some beer and a drink that looked colorful but tasted like a pina colada (que the song). All in all, this experience was better than the first. Maybe it was because it was Father's Day and it was busy they we had a subpar time the first time but I mostly give places 2 chances unless it's horrible. If your in the Rocky River area and have a taste for pizza, Caesar salad or Cobb salad, give them a try! There is parking in front of the place but we opt to park in the back. read more

We had asked for a seat at the window, not knowing that the recent rain had completely flooded the floor. Hostess never mentioned the flooding, when we noticed we asked for another table. Waitress seated us at a different table. I had hip surgery 3 days prior and could not sit comfortably on the wooden chair, so we had to ask again for another table along the wall with cushioned benches. She seemed annoyed and said the table is "wobbly", she never offered to move a stable table over, so we moved tables until we had a stable table. No employee made an effort to help. We noticed several customers trying to stabilize their wobbly tables. The pizza was so-so, not bad, but certainly not good enough to drive all the way out to that place again. read more

My only complaint is that bar seating doesn't mean you can sit at the tables in the bar area. You're only allowed to sit at the bar. Otherwise our experience here was fantastic. Pizza was spot on and different, service was decent. Spinach and Artichoke dip was a good choice of appetizer. Definitely be back. read more

Okay I have to say I love mellow mushroom! I love how everything is so fresh. The atmosphere is trippy but tasteful. This place you want to plan on waiting a little time for the food as it is fresh made but worth it. The menu does list the calories so if you need that info it's available. They also have vegan options available. My mom and I came for dinner and we we're glad we did. My mom ordered the personal pizza. She got pepperoni, mushrooms, onion, and green peppers. She really liked how they use fresh mushrooms instead of canned ones. I decided to order a salad. I ordered the enlightened spinach salad and added chicken to it. I really liked the salad and it was a nice size for dinner. I liked how I could pick what dressing I wanted. Overall I really enjoyed mellow mushroom and definitely will be coming back to try different things on the menu. read more

I want to start off by saying I usually love mellow mushroom. I've lived all over the country and can usually count on a mellow mushroom when I come across one. This location disappointed me. The pizza was good but where they failed me is happy hour. Most mellow mushrooms I've been to before have amazing happy hour. It's always the same menu, $2 slices, $1 meatballs or $1 pretzels. This location has no food for happy hour! My family loves their happy hour so it hurts that we won't be able to go here. Sadly, I don't think I'll return to this location and will search for a different place for the family. Also, some locations do a reverse happy hour from 9pm to close and this location closes at 10pm. read more

Awesome pizza, awful takeout service. We ordered a pizza and after providing our address for delivery they said they can't deliver to our address because they only deliver up to 5 miles away. We live 2 miles away and told them that and then the workers said they just can't deliver to our address. Whatever. We will pick it up. We go to pick up the pizza after the 25 minute wait time and had to wait another 25 minutes for our pizza. Dude it's a Tuesday. Why was the wait time doubled? But then I enjoyed the shit out of my pizza when I got home so....you win some you lose some. read more

bummer! i typically enjoy mellow mushroom, but today we had a bad experience. the hostesses seemed unhelpful and standoffish, and we had to wipe down our own table before sitting. then when we ordered, our pizzas got switched with another table and they didn't bring the wings we ordered. however, our waitress was nice and took that off the bill for us. our table was right next to a huge window that was open, so the end of our table got very hot and flies kept flying in and getting stuck in our pizza :/ there was also a broadcast of a mega church on the tv next to us for some reason. the bathroom was pretty gross with trash overflowing as well. however i did like that they played Harry Styles the entire time :) and the Merry Prankster was delicious. read more

great location on the main drag in rocky river. large bar with many seats that opens up to an expanded patio bar along the sidewalk. so many draft beer options. more than many breweries. great menu with so many options even for vegetarians. kenzie is an outstanding bartender providing kindness compassion professionalism and great service. she managed the whole bar, the service bar and several tables smoothly without stress. our mushroom pizza was delicious and the crust is among the best. the salads are also. a great experience read more

DO NOT ORDER CURBSIDE This is the first and probably last time I get food from this place. I ordered an hour and a half ahead of time for 7:30 on a Thursday. When we got there we followed the directions and called the front. They told us it would be about 12 more minutes which was fine it would put them ab 5 minutes behind. After waiting 20 minutes we called again and they said they would check on it and then hung up the phone. It is now 8:10 and we still do not have our food. My boyfriend went inside to talk to someone and get the food. Terrible service.! read more

I just discovered this place about a year ago and I live right down the street! Boy, I've been missing out! I am a vegetarian and they have sooo many great options for me!

We visited on a beautiful Wednesday afternoon. This was the third attempt THAT DAY to visit a local restaurant and actually eat (see my other reviews). We were seated immediately. The hostess took our drink order. There were a few other groups there and they were eating! Things were looking up! Then, things came to a screeching halt. A vendor/delivery driver came in and that was it. Our waitress disappeared for over five minutes. She hadn't even taken our order yet. When she finally reappeared, she took our order with no apology: two appetizers, a Long Island Iced Tea and a regular iced tea. Two seconds later she returned indicating that they were out of the hummus appetizer. We canceled our order and left. In all fairness to Mellow Mushroom, our tolerance level was pretty low after our experiences at two other places that day. read more
