    Veg Out pizza
    Ian K.

    This place is located on NW area of Mill and University, slightly East of ASU and the football stadium. Inside has some cool decor. They have vegetarian, vegan, and gluten free options which helps for those with that preference. The veg out pizza was ok, pretty much what you would expect. The wings were pretty good (see photo). Not overwhelming but decent. The prices are pretty high, the online menu does not show the prices but several people have posted the menus. You would think so close to ASU the prices would be more reasonable for starving college students but no so. On their website: mellowmushroom.com they do post their nutritional information. I think for the price, other options are better.

    The vibe at Mellow Mushroom Tempe is on point. Alyssa is the queen of all of the things to do with beer, cider and spirits! She's the absolute best! The bar is so much fun with a wonderful beer and cider selection.

    VEGAN GREAT WHITE PIZZA: To-Go in Box
    Lo B.

    Wonderful experience whenever I stop in. Clearly labeled gluten free/vegan/vegetarian so let your server know and they'll totally understand the lingo. I had the Great White Pizza custom made vegan and gluten free! Just had to ask (as it's labeled only vegetarian on the menu) and they said vegan would be no problem. Crust is thinner than a normal pizza which is typical for gluten free and I actually prefer it thin! The tomatoes were soooo good and the basil/vegan cheese was fresh. A bit too oily for my liking, but was fun to get creative and I'd still recommend this place for solo or group night out for sure! Bartender gave me water/lemon while I waited and was super kind/attentive. Ambiance is uplifting. Oh, and they have house made mocktails too! :) Mar 05 2023

    Holy Shiitake - good stuff!
    Kurt P.

    Lunch for 5 here last week. My daughter and her husband have been long-time Mellow Mushroom fans in Portland, and brought their 5-year-old son. He was happy with the kids meal - the fries were thumbs-up. We split a large Holy Shiitake among the four of us. Just perfect for lunch. Flavor was good, but not as garlicky as the incarnations they had before. Overall a good experience - it was nice that ASU classes were out for the holidays so the place was empty. I'd definitely stop back the next time I'm in the neighborhood.

    Shroom pizza with sausage
    Angi C.

    Back in AZ visiting family. We frequented the Mellow Mushroom in Ahwatukee and was craving some great pizza! Our Airbnb was not far from the Tempe location. Ordered door dash- ordered four pizzas and 20 wings. Pizza was amazing as always! Service was quick for door dash. Hard to beat Mellow Mushroom's flavors and homemade crust. My favorite pizza is the shroom, add sausage- to die for! Wings were perfectly crisp- blue cheese is homemade. Mellow Mushroom is my go to pizza place in AZ.

    Nothing stands out really here. Food is good but not memorable for pizza. I thought there was way too much crust on the pizza. The wings were rather small. The only thing that stood out was the cost. We had a $50 Groupon but it was still $27 after the Groupon. So $77 for three drinks, nine wings and a large pizza. Just seemed high to me.

    Free Pretzel Bites w/ spicy cheese sauce
    Joan C.

    We hadn't been to Mellow Mushroom in probably 10 years. Crazy! We found a Groupon deal $31 for 15 so we made the trip to Mellow Mushroom Did not disappoint, we didn't go Vegan for our pizza or our free pretzel bites because we don't like veggie cheeses and would rather no have them. So we ordered the Great White and it was wonderful! Olive oil and garlic on the crust followed by many wonderful cheeses, roasted tomatoes and fresh tomatoes and onions. Super yummy! A large specialty pizza is $29 dollars, so a little pricey but Great service, Great Atmosphere and Great Food. Definitely worth the splurge The Pretzel bites came with beer cheese or spicy cheese. We had the spicy super yummy too!! Taste even better when they are free, signed up for their new letter and received the free bites! Then when we checked in we received another round of free bites for next time, Cool!!! We will be back, Thx! Mellow Mushroom for a fun time!!!

    Booth I got sat at was pretty greasy and dirty.
    Erica S.

    I've came here twice recently just to eat before my movie started and it was just ok each time. The first time I sat at the bar and got a mock tail and pizza. The bar felt greasy and like humid in that area so it didn't feel good. The mock tail was average, a little too much whatever syrup goes in there and the pepperoni pizza was good. The second time I came in I asked to sit at a booth since I thought it would be cleaner there. It was not, the booth had so many grease spots and crumbs that were obvious to see. The menu was pretty greasy too. I got the happy prankster pizza this time, it was just okay, not bad not great.

    Burger very good

    Got here on a Saturday afternoon around 2:50 pm. Maybe 2 other couples were here. It took 40 minutes to get our food. I had an avocado hoagie which came out cold and had no mozzarella cheese. The server took it back and they told him they didn't have any so he took 50% off my meal. The pizza, burger and Avocado Hoagie was very good. It's nice inside, lots of open space. The patio dining area needed to be cleaned. Overall, I recommend visiting.

    Checked in & got this
    Konlee S.

    This was a pretty cool place pizza was good but a little pricey, it's in the heart of Mill Ave. Been here couple times and everytime it's been snow inside almost discouraging to eat at because it's not a very busy place at least everytime I've come. I'm not mad though because service was good.

The chicken tenders were fire!!! What is lacking on this occasion was service. The server that we had was so unattentative. I have never been in a cocktail lounge in my life and had to beg for drinks. Our server would wait until every drinks was made for all of her tables before bringing out drinks. It was ridiculous. She was nice but seemed high. I ended up only having 2 drinks. We would have ordered more but they have 90min max seating and we didn't event get drinks for the first 30min. No exaggeration. Also one of my drinks I had to send back. My apple martini tasted like soap. It was like they did clean the glass after giving a soap bath. No bueno. So they need to get their service to match the vibe of a true cocktails lounge. Yes it is a 70s vibe but doesn't mean the lackadaisical style service. I would come back and try again. The music, the atmosphere and the food was good. They gotta get these cocktails together and service. We ended up walking to nearby competitors and that was money lost for DDG.

So let's start off with the fact that when you're seated , they disclose that this is a "90 minute experience." . My only issue is that getting your drinks and food might take 80 minutes. Great atmosphere. They have a disco ball in the middle , just like the 70s. Music is not too loud. Dimly lit, but perfect. Order your drinks right away, because ours took forever. Nothing to write home about here. The real crab Rangoon is ok but they are small. The chicken tenders are huge portions. It's like they cut a breast in half for each tender. That was the saving grace. I like the experience. Wanted to give 5 stars , but I can't due to the "mid" experience.

But, if you're looking for a really cool bar, KWSC is for you. I stopped by on a week day evening around 8:30 p.m. Located in Roosevelt Row, while there isn't parking, I found free parking on the street a few minutes away on foot. Ambiance (4.5/5): My type of spot. Dimly lit with a speakeasy vibe. There are eight or so seats at the bar, and the rest of your seating options consist of comfortable chairs and sofas. You'll see a lot of photos of people's bums on the walls lol. This is indeed part of the appeal. For free, if you would like, they will take a polaroid of your butt and memorialize you eternally on the walls. While I didn't do that, if that's up your alley, go for it. Service (2/5): This is the main area of improvement. After being seated, I was greeted promptly and got my first cocktail promptly. From there, things fell apart. I had to grab the bartender's attention to order my second drink and to close out. It was a week day and they weren't busy. And there were two bartenders. A lack of attentiveness. When I closed out, I noticed that the cocktails were both $2 more expensive than what was listed on the menu. When I inquired, I was told that the menus were outdated... umm what? If you're not going to re-print your menus, give people a heads-up when they arrive. I understand that most people won't notice, but this is deception. Food (N/A): I was on a liquid diet. If you're trying to eat here, all they have is snacks. The menu doesn't specify but I'm thinking it's probably chips or somethign like that. Drinks (4/5): A lengthy, and interesting, cocktail list. Similar to a speakeasy, you're going to see creativity and an interesting blend of flavors here. The most popular drink is Fuck Nazis. We're seeing a theme here. KWSC is an interesting spot. For various dollar amounts, you can get funny things outside of the polaroids of your bum. My first cocktail was great. My second one, a tiki drink, not so much. The menu said that there would be some flame action happening. It didn't. Just another example of the service falling short. If the service were better, Killer Whale Sex Club would easily be a five-star experience.

The atmosphere was unique, the bartenders were genuinely engaging, and there was a real sense of community that made every visit memorable. It became my go-to spot to bring friends from out of town and every single person I brought absolutely loved it! Back then, the cocktails felt intentional and creative, not just rushed out for volume. The staff remembered regulars, conversations flowed naturally, and the whole place had this warm, eclectic energy that made you want to stay for hours. Even on busy nights, it somehow still felt personal. Unfortunately, over the last couple of years, the vibe has changed quite a bit. The drinks just aren't as consistently good as they used to be, especially considering the prices now. Service feels far more transactional and impersonal, and the atmosphere that once made this place stand out has faded into something much more generic. It feels less like a neighborhood gem and more like a stop on a nightlife circuit.

If your kitchen can't handle a simple order in a reasonable amount of time, don't accept DoorDash orders in the first place.

Accepting orders you clearly can't fulfill is misleading and incredibly unprofessional. I won't be ordering from Social Hall again, and I wouldn't recommend anyone else waste their time either. Do better.

I received five very small slices of apple, and when the plate was set down the waitress said she'd get more if needed. I later noticed I was charged $2 for an additional five slices, which together didn't even amount to half an apple. Ironically, the bread that comes with the dish would have been far more substantial. The burrata was fine, but nothing memorable. My friend ordered the chicken and brussels sprouts and didn't even finish it before having the plate taken away. The flourless almond cake was the star, a bit salty on its own, but with the ice cream and whipped cream it was a delightful combo which were the highlight. Overall, this is a great spot for cocktails, ambiance, and photos, but the food is fairly mediocre compared to the setting.
