There are pizza places, and there is Mellow Mushroom. Nice bar, great staff, easy parking and plenty of seating indoor and out. Our favorites are the Holy Shiitake and the Magical Mystery Tour pies. The "Lill" tossed salad is not so little, and their dressings - Esperanza and Balsamic Vinaigrette especially- excellent on the salad and to dip the crust bones in. The crusts. Let's talk about those a sec because purists will have strong opinions. Basically, there is no thin or deep dish here, just the medium classic wheat flour buttered crust but it is to die for. They have a rice flour gluten-free crust that is good when it is hot, so eat in when you order this one; not so good as a to-go choice. If you take out your pizza, best reheating tip is a hot black skillet or griddle under a broiler for just a minute or two if the slices have been refrigerated. Try the Capri appetizer. If you're vegetarian, they make their own tempeh and veggie burgers, which are excellent! read more

If you charge $1.50 for a half ounce of dressing you might want to make sure it gets in the bag. Not really sure why restaurants are trying to make a fortune on condiments and drinks... I guess as long as the consumer keeps allowing it, you'll keep doing it. read more

A horrible service, from the entrance to the bar, the girl who is receiving the clients is super rude and with an angry face. and so all employees. shame about such good pizza. I will not return to that location. Sorry. read more

I recently sat at the bar, after a warm welcome by the bartender. I enjoyed a few drinks with an order of food. To my dismay, there was a mishap in the kitchen and my food arrived cold. After speaking with the manager, she did her best to ensure that I was satisfied as a customer. She went above and beyond and made my experience enjoyable. I would recommend this location! read more

This Mellow Mushroom is the best one. My coworkers and I come here all the time for lunch. They are quick and the lunch servers are always super friendly. We let them know we are in a rush and here for lunch and they get us in and fed in less than 30 minutes. I'm mad at myself that I can't remember any of the servers names! We love the cobb salad and you'll see us again soon! Thanks for being such a great go to! read more

Love, love, love this place! Always great service and consistently great food. Highly recommend sitting at the bar with Brittney and Darin!

Waited over 2 hours, pizza would have been great but got the wrong order and was ice cold. Don't take orders you can't fulfill . Atlanta needs to get their act together, we want a refund. read more

I love this place for so many reasons! My daughter (14 years) asked to have her birthday party here, and I am soooooo happy (as is she and her friends!) that she did-- easiest party with the most accommodating staff EVER! It was surprisingly affordable-- was worried about throwing a party for 20+ hungry kids. The manager even helped me carry the cake! Restaurant was clean, pizza was amazing, the service and staff were so responsive and helpful, and there are some cool sculptures and artwork too. Thank you MM Sandy Springs team! read more

Trivia is back, and still the best trivia in Sandy Springs. Always great food and service, now even better on Tuesday nights.

Ok I'm calling you guys out for decreasing the size of the large house salad, at least compared to other MMs.. And I'm sure at least one salad ingredient was missing but Good job with the pizza especially cooking it so it has a little crunch. Good service. read more

Love Mellow Mushroom for offering vegan dough, Daiya cheeze and keeping things kosher for us meat-free pie craving patrons. They do pizza and they do it with fast friendly service. I always go for the Kosmic Karma (vegan with Daiya cheeze) and a side of pretzels. The calzones are also very tasty and a large portion size, enough for two meals. This particular location works hard to ensure that vegan really does mean vegan (no cow butter on the crust, etc.). If you have an allergy you will appreciate the extra attention given here. read more

This Mellow Mushroom is a classic place for all the school kids in the area and the food fantastic! Would recommend!

I love the 'shroom. We hit this location late in the day on a Sunday - me and 2 kids. Brian (our server) was super nice and worked well with the kids who placed their own orders and don't always speak up or clearly. We got 3 small pizzas - one plain cheese, one with a substitution (brought out correctly) and one insanely crazy concoction (also brought out correctly). Brian applauded the 8 year-old's selection of toppings for his creation and even complimented him about how delicious it looked when it came out. However, our problem was the length of time we spent there and the absolute slowness of service. The pizzas took entirely too long to come out (but they were hot when they did) and then once they did, we never saw Brian again until I had to flag him down to get a box (but he did bring the check). He was nice and funny as he boxed up the left over pizza, however you shouldn't offer more soda to an 8 year old without checking with the grown up at the table (IMHO). So he offered my nephew more Sprite when the glass was still half-full. Argh. Luckily, Will did not drink the extra Sprite he was served. Overall the food was great, but the service was way too slow with two young ones at the table. I think the restaurant was empty enough, the staff was complacent and had no fire. The food saved them. read more

My go to pizza place in Sandy Springs. The pizzas are always delicious, fresh, cooked to order. My faves are Holy Shiitake and the White Rabbit. Good appetizers too. Staff friendly. Pretty laid back place, low key environment. Plus I like the music they play, always old stuff from the 90s when I've been there. read more

Super fresh ingredients! Fantastic and unique recipes and great crust. Yep! I said it...I'm a girl from the Mecca of pizza (Chicago) and mellow mushroom is good pizza! The house special or the Thai dye was our faves! read more

Mellow Mushroom Sandy Springs - Red potato pizza - Pizza Near Me - Sandy Springs, Georgia

I always forget how much I love the esperanza dressing. Then I order my salad with it and end up asking for more in order to dip my pizza crust in it. We arrived around 5:45 on a Saturday, and our group of 3 adults and 2 toddlers was promptly seated at a table towards the back. The TVs are mounted up high, so if you're too close, you can only see about half the screen. Luckily we were in between two, so we could read the score by checking both. The wooden chairs did quite a bit of sliding on the tile floors... but that could've been the daredevil children in them... For the kids, we got a cheese pizza meal and a pepperoni pizza meal. They come with either apple slices & peanut butter or broccoli. That's pretty much a no-brainer... You can also get a pretzel as a kids meal, but we instead got a half order of the pretzels with salt and mustard for all of us to nibble on. The adults got draft beer, tossed salads with esperanza dressing ($4.99 for the regular, $2.99 for the lil), and a large Mad Italian (supposedly unique to this MM location, for $21.37) to share. The pizza was olive oil and garlic base with salami, ham, roasted red peppers, onions, and diced pepperocini. The pepperocini added a nice kick! Solid family pizza spot. read more

Enjoyed my favorite chicken, feta, sun dried tomato and spinach pizza. It has been awhile since my last Mellow Mushroom visit and was pleasantly surprised at how friendly and accommodating the staff was in the Sandy Springs location. Well done! I will be back more often. Thanks for the attention to detail on the pizza today! read more

#GlutenFree heaven! I stopped into the Sandy Springs location of Mellow Mushroom pizza for a gluten-free pie on my way home to Chamblee, after running errands in Roswell. Amanda, the bartender and budding actress, was so fabulous! She "heard me", when I told her i needed gluten-free options (I am Celiac), and went out of her way to make sure the salad dressing was safe for me. The pizza was delicious. This is my go-to-place for gluten free pizzas and so close to home! Thanks Amanda. I will be back! read more

Racist/sexist establishment. I have been living in the area for years and today I decided to give this particular location a try. Called in an order for pickup, arrived and parked in a "curbside service" parking spot and called the restaurant as instructed (rushing to meet up with husband and kids). My suggestion is to not offer "curbside service" and tell me that I have to instead come in. I walked in, there was a little boy sitting at host stand and he definitely did not greet me. When I greet him, he barked "what"? I was also not greeted by any of the restaurant staff, I felt very uncomfortable and honestly the only highlight of the experience was the generous fed ex delivery guy offering to hold the door for me (as I struggled with several large boxes that they refused to bring to the car). For some reason, there seemed to be much anger, aggression and hostility radiating from all three employees in the restaurant at the time. Not very kind people, perhaps find some peace within yourself and stop projecting into others. I almost left and wanted to Cancel the order altogether. Will definitely be taking my business elsewhere, preferably someplace a bit friendlier to women and diversity. read more

Love Mellow Mushroom but this location seems to have a serious problem with estimated pickup times. Got to location at expected pickup time but had to wait another 30 minutes for our order. Manager explained that they manage call-in and online orders through two systems and that quoted times get impacted by online orders coming in through the separate system. Offered 10% discount to make up for it but getting a few dollars back isn't really worth waiting for an order long after it was supposed to be ready. Would recommend avoiding Mellow Mushroom for pickup orders until they straighten things out. read more

Any place that offers garlic as a pizza topping gets an A in my book! The pizza is great and the wings are delicious. My fiancé and I order drinks which were both good. The interior is interestingly decorated, the mushroom tree is my favorite! (nostalgia Morrowind feels). Our waiter, Matthew, was pretty cool. Highly recommend! read more

Mellow Mushroom has always been, and will always remain one of my favorite pizza joints. The pies themselves, are filling, have great dough, great sauce, rich cheese, and fresh toppings. The crust, which most pizza places do poorly, it very crisp and tasty. My personal favorite is the pepperoni, extra cheese pizza. Don't worry they do not go overboard on the cheese. There are alot of privately owned pizza places in Atlanta, but I choose Mellow Mushroom consistently. The interior is quite odd. They seem to have gone with a stoner-marijuana-hippy theme, and some of the waiters and waitresses seem to fit the mold. This is not necessarily a downside to the establishment, it is just odd. The parking is sort of limited, and inaccessible. All in all, Mellow Mushroom puts out great pies, solid Caesar Salads, and other tasty meals at fair prices. I will always be a regular. read more

My wife and son stopped by for pizza. As always enjoyed the pizza. Server was savanah. She was great. Checked with us at the appropriate times. She was very courtesy. And friendly. Never saw a manager. And we asked the savanah what managers were working. Two on duty. but never saw any touch the tables. Great pizza. Great service. read more

Food has always been pretty good but management is trash. Often closes early especially on weekends. Manger is rude to the servers to the point that it gets uncomfortable and can often be heard calling other restaurants and offering free pizzas in exchange for free food from them. Best advice would be to get this delivered and avoid dining in here. read more

Italian Hoagie, hmm..., someone needs to Google a picture and learn how to make a proper one. Mine was the most disappointing array of shredded meat (not even sure if there was all the advertised meat) with a large helping of greens to mask this poorly made hoagie. I regret not taking a picture, didn't want to embarrass my companion. read more

As of late they have been trying to increase the profit by cutting the ingredients. I bought my first mellow mushroom pizza in Sandy Springs in 1978 and have been hooked ever since, but tonight's pizza was awful. read more

Ordered from this location against my better judgement since I've had poor experiences ordering to-go orders from other locations before. Placed order at 4:26 and received an email that it would be ready for pick-up at 4:56. Arrived to pick up my order at 5:09. It had not been made. The woman at the register turned to speak to another guy behind the counter, and while he searched for my order, she started a side conversation with someone else and never returned to me. The man told me "there was only one person on the clock when I got here so it hasn't been started." No apology. Finally at 5:15 I received my order and an apology. Meanwhile, an employee at the bar and another at the hostess stand (both women) could be heard loud and clear complaining about their jobs and swearing. They only stopped when I made eye contact. Doesn't matter that that I work directly across the street. I would not spend another dime here. read more

Pizza was delicious we got half just cheese and the other half bacon, avocado & spinach.. only thing I can say I didn't like was the bacon was cut to big which made it hard to just pick up and bite into without getting almost all the toppings pulled off and hanging from your mouth. Oh and our server was also the bartender.. he had maybe 3 customers over there my entire time dining in and didn't check in not once or refill my drink. read more

Worst service I have every received. Server was extremely rude and food was room temp. Will not be returning.

I have to admit that I love a good Mellow Mushroom pizza. The Kosmic Karma just hits the spot, every single time, and their pretzels are magnificent. Unfortunately, this location is a little hit or miss. It's been renovated and is all schmancy (which my dingy heart of hearts does not like), but the service and the food could use some work. On my last trip in, I had ordered two pies for takeout for dinner with the fam. We arrived a little bit prior to the scheduled pick up time, so had no problem waiting a few minutes. However, we waited way too long, and the pizzas weren't ready until 15 minutes or so past the estimated time. No big deal, until when I got home we realized that the pizzas were seriously undercooked. The dough in the middle was chewy and unappetizing and I was really disappointed. I hope they step up their game and actually, you know, COOK the pizza next time around. read more

Mellow Mushroom is a pizza chain where the founders looked like they were smoking weed and did a lot of shrooms. But you could probably tell every time you walked into one. This location isn't any different. It is large, has a patio, and can be good for large groups. Mellow Mushroom started in Atlanta in the 70's. Now it just infected all of Atlanta with its trippy designs, friendly service, and decent food--depending on which franchise you go. They sell all sorts of pizzas and hoagies at Mellow Mushroom. I didn't get to try a pizza here, but I did try a hoagie. I got their avocado hoagie. Now, at certain locations, they rip you off with the avocados. But not this location. They hooked me up big time. I saw so much avocado, they were bursting out of the bun. That's the type of avocado hoagie I like. Also, the bread the hoagie came in tasted pretty good. All of their hoagies have a distinct taste to their buns. I'm thinking it's a simliar recipe their pizza crust is made from. I liked this location. The staff seemed nice and accomdating and their hoagie tasted good. read more

Best. Tempeh. Ever. I adore the premium ingredient options at Mellow and having the ability to create my own giant salad. My favorite? Spinach topped with double grilled portabellas, avocado, and double tempeh, all tossed in THE BEST balsamic vinaigrette. Be still my vegetarian food loving heart! The Sandy Springs location is my favorite for its bright cheery atmosphere, friendly service, and overall cleanliness. Great patio too in warmer months. Thanks Mellow for making the non-pizza options shine just as much as the pizzas! read more

Oh Mellow Mushroom you do not know how happy I am to have tried you! Having several of your kick ass shirts- given as gifts from friends- I can now comment on your kick ass pizza. *now be forewarned- the pizza here does not have a large amount of sauce on it- so if you're a sauce person ask for extra - either on it or the side. Now with the warning out of the way let me move on to the deliciousness that was my pizza. Forgoing some of the crazier topping I decided for my first time I would stick with the basics- cheese/pepperoni/sausage- because if a place can't do that right- well they have problems. Mellow mushroom you did not disappoint! I'm a thin crust type of girl- and even your thicker crust couldn't diminish the food-orgasm I had in my mouth. The crust is so tasty- it's almost hard to describe. It's thicker(not deep dish either) but not heavy. It has a sweetness to it that just meshes with the sauce and topping. Not thinking of you as traditional pizza- I have to say the flavors were just so good. I'm glad that I found out we at least have one Mellow Mushroom around Denver. I can get my pizza and t- shirt fill when I want! read more

I have never been to a Mellow Mushroom before, but my nieces were in town and they love it, so we went here. They knew exactly what they wanted, but I needed recommendations and my server, Lillie, did just that. I told her what I liked and I ended up with a Holy Shitake and a Sunset in Paradise! So great! I will definitely be back, without my nieces!! read more

Mellow Mushroom rocks! It has great pizza, good pizza, and a nice selection of beers for a pizza place. It really leaves a warm, fuzzy feeling. Or is that the beer consumption. Not to sure. My friend and I shared a Philospher's Pie. It has steak, portabello, feta cheese, artichoke hearts, and olive oil. It absolutely tasted fantastic and truly hit the spot after a good run in the park. Also, they offer a gluten free pizza, which is a nice little health option. It is true that the prices are more than a Dominoe's or Pizza Hut, but also the quality and service is well worth the price hike. read more

I'm a fan of MM. I have found the pizzas to be good and I also enjoy their sandwiches. So, I stopped by here one night to get one of my favorite sandwiches from them. It was my first time coming to this location since they moved from up the street. This place is larger and has that very cute mushroom decor that I really like. Anyway, I'm in love with the mushroom club, which is ham, turkey, mushroom, carmelized onions, and provolone. I really am crazy about this sandwich. I think the bean sprouts that they top it with just sets it off quite nicely. It is a warm sandwich and the bread is toasted. I find that the calzones are pretty good also. They have a good selection of ingredients with which you can build your own pizza or calzone. Don't sleep on the salads here either. Service is always decent when I visit MM and this visit was no different. Make sure you join the mellow e-club to get coupons and such. Go get you some. read more

Worst experience ever. Food was marginal. Host staff clueless. Management uncaring and unhelpful. Server was friendly. Too bad she works here! We cannot recommend and we have not been back. This happened a year ago. read more

Despite the absolutely trippy, yet extremely amusing, artwork and decal all throughout the restaurant, their pizzas are absolutely delicious. I've had pizza from this place a couple times now, and I've never been disappointed. They also have a pretty decent beer selection from what I've seen, but I've never been there for anything besides the pizza really. With fresh ingredients and a different attitude, this place definitely deserves 5 stars in my book. Tasty goodness! Well worth the couple extra bucks over Pizza Hut. read more
