    Picture of the fingernail

    If I could give this a-0 star I would. I normally do not write reviews, but I felt the need to let other people know. I have always loved Mellow Mushroom in the past This has been the absolute worst experience I have ever had in my entire life! I ordered a pizza to go. I was enjoying the second piece of pizza when I felt something crunchy. I pulled it out out of my mouth and there it was a fingernail.!!!! yes a fingernail!!! I didn't even make it to the bathroom without vomiting all over the floor! It is the grossest thing to have somebody's dirty fingernail in your mouth! I was furious! I called the restaurant and to talked to the manager. She actually questioned if I was telling the truth. She said that it was impossible because they wear gloves. I said to her... well somebody wasn't wearing their gloves because this is a fingernail in my pizza and I'm not making this up. Then she admitted that it could be possible because they bring their dough in and don't make it there in the restaurant I asked her if she wanted to see the photo and she said yes. I sent the photo to her, no apology. The next day I was check my emails and saw that I received a refund on my card. That was it! To this day, I cannot eat pizza that somebody had their dirty fingers through the dough. Just the thought of it makes me sick!

    Checked out this new location of Mellow Mushroom in downtown Wilmington. It's located across the riverwalk and a little past Tugboat Tony's Bagel Cafe. There is street parking available but not as much as there is construction going on by it. There is dine-in available with plenty of seating inside as well as outdoor seating. Decor is casual with some artsy flair. On their Facebook, they advertise 10% off on pickup orders either online or in person on Tuesdays. The code they posted doesn't work so it would be best to call your order in through the phone or in person to get the discount. I was warmly greeted after I walked in through the front door. I had ordered to-go pretzel bites "munchie' ($7.95), a small cheese pizza ($8.99), and a Sausagefest calzone ($11.99). The waitress opened up each to-go box to show me the food, making sure my order was correct. The pretzel bites were small ball-shaped dough covered in grated parmesan cheese and served with a thick beer cheese sauce. The dough was bland and dense. Tasted better with the cheese sauce, which was okay tasting itself. Pretzel bites are supposed to be tossed in garlic butter, but could've fooled me. Skip this munchie. The cheese pizza was 9 to 10 inches in diameter, cut in four slices. It had plenty of cheese, including some grated parmesan cheese. The dough was alright tasting. I liked that the crust was soft and chewy. Dough options are usually a mellow mushroom thin crust or a regular crust. I didn't specify which one I wanted so I'm assuming I got the mellow crust. The pizza sauce was standard. The Sausagefest calzone was okay. The dough was the same as the pizza dough. There was plenty of meat and cheese. It could feed 2 people of my size. It was served with marinara sauce. I like that their menu has a variety for different audiences, including gluten-free crust and vegan meats. Come here if you're looking for average pizza.

    I love that they added a Mellow Mushroom, right downtown near the riverwalk! This location is great but also the staff and service has always been amazing. When we arrived on a weekend night, we were sat pretty quickly, and had a booth for our little family of three. Our server was quick to bring us our beers and take our orders, and she also was really nice and chatted with our toddler. For our food, we got some of their wings which are amazing, a Caesar salad (which is also something I always get when I come here), a cheese pizza for the little one, a white pizza, and the Tie Dye pizza. The cheese pizza was for our little one, because if you order a kids pizza, it comes on flat bread and she is not about that life. The white pizza was full of garlic-y goodness, and the tie dye is my husbands favorite. Overall they were very attentive, the food was good, and our experience was lovely!

    One of the best stops in downtown Wilmington. You must try the Sunset in Paradise or one of their many Margaritas.

    First time visitor to Wilmington. Decided to have lunch at Mellow Mushroom which I love. We had the Shitake mushroom pizza, Pacific Rim , and a salad. All delicious. Chloe provided great service - our orders were correct, she provided great casual conversation, and pointed out some Wilmington highlights. Come to MM for great food and great times with Chloe. Thank you for the five star service Chloe!!

    Mellow mushroom is a short walk from the riverfront in Wilmington but has a beautiful patio that is a great place to while away or Friday afternoon. We were passing the time until we could go to dinner on a really long travel day, and we sat and we had the most delectable cocktail ever. It is featured in the menu Called sunset in paradise. Was it ever! I drank two and my friend switched over to the same drink after tasting mine. This is a real treat. I photographed the menu just so that I could come home and try to re-concoct this thing- Wish me luck! To stave off the hangries, we enjoyed a small thin crust mushroom pizza that was perfect. Our waiter was incredible and friendly and this was just a perfect afternoon! Thanks mellow mushroom!

    Meatballs stuffed with mozzarella were very good. Took home a mushroom pie that I ate for a couple days! So good. Bartender was friendly and helpful. I'd go back again for sure.

Such a unique and different menu we started out with the Big Wes Lil' Weiners which was 4 smoked Jalapeno and cheddar sausages wrapped in an empanada crust served with an arugula chimmichuri dipping sauce. So innovative and delicious, sauce had a bite to it and the sausages were juicy and crispy with the empanada crust, highly recommend. I wanted to house made roast beef only available on the weekends but it was sold out, no surprise. Opted for the Ghostface Fillah instead. Shaved ribeye, arugula, horseradish on delicious sourdough bread. Perfect amount of ribeye and the all of the components worked perfectly. Saw quite a few people getting the burger as well, people rave about it. We also got an order of the garlic parm curly fries which couldn't have been much better, place just has such a fun menu putting their twist on American staples, perfect spot to grab a bite and watch a game. Our server had food recommendations, limited seating inside but just the right amount, worth any kind of wait you might encounter.

We came yesterday and didn't want to wait but then came back today and got our group on the list and waited. Note that the parking close by is expensive and they won't seat you if your whole party isn't there within 5 minutes of texting that your table is ready. So yep- plan to wait and sit around. Inside it's pub style, bar available and good music, but not much seating which explains the wait ;) We ordered the 109 Chestnut Chicken Sandwich, the Hot Roasted Pork Sandwich and the Reuben. Our waitress recommended not getting the onion rings app and to do it as sides to save money, and man, we had SO MANY leftovers. The pork sandwich is super good but so filling. I could only eat half with all the onion rings! The Reuben was absolutely delicious and I would 1000% get that again. The best thing on the menu in our opinion: the Cheese Steak Egg Rolls with chipotle mayo- OMG. We will DREAM about these!!! I haven't seen these talked about much- TRY THEM, they were literally mouth watering and I would have eaten them as an entree and not an app! Overall we would come back again, just be prepared to wait forever for a table and you won't be disappointed!
