Mellow Mushroom Downtown Atlanta

"It was Friday Night and the family consensus was that we wanted to do a Pizza Night. As Pizza was the decision, it had to be good. After doing some digging on Yelp we ended up at Mellow Mushroom. The location is super convenient as it’s in the heart of Midtown. There are a few street parking spots, however, there is a paid parking deck directly next to the restaurant. It’s a win win. Unlike the usual ‘pizza spot,’ upon walking in there’s a sign that says “Please Wait to be Seated!” It was at that moment, I knew this was going to be an experience. LoL. Taking in the environment, the ambiance is very chill and laid back. This is a great location for a low key night out with friends, family, or even a chill themed date night. Adding to the pleasant ambiance, the hostess was super nice and all smiles. He sat us immediately and made a great welcoming impression as it relates to the standards of service. Once seated, our waiter, Jesse came over and introduced himself. Along with welcoming us to Mellow Mushroom, he confirmed the number in our party and immediately took our drink orders. Again, a great representation of service. With such an assortment of menu items there is something for everyone and every craving. Naturally as it was family night out, we were all ready to order up the menu. LoL!! The Food: Pretzel Bites - Not your traditional pretzel bites. If you are looking for the hard outside and soft center, these are not them. These are homemade and have a full doughy profile. They put you in the mindset of a soft, chewy, pizza crust cut into bite size pieces. They are enjoyable if you are looking for a bread based app, however, if you have a taste for a traditional pretzel, this isn’t the fix you need. Greek Salad - Everything on the salad was FRESH. Though I ordered the ‘Lil’ size it was more than enough. The Feta was amazing. The thinki sliced onions and peppers were amazing. And the highlight of the salad beyond the FRESH ingredients is the house dressing. OhMyGosh!!!! I’m talking robust, well seasoned, not too thick, not too runny, a perfect made dressing for a perfect made FRESH salad. Mighty Meat Pizza (M) - This pizza was everythingggggggggg. This is a go big or go home kind of pizza. Extra meaty. Extra flavorful. And, Extra good. The pizza has a traditional flavor profile, however, it is elevated by the Mellow Mushroom Crust. Not your typical flour dough. The MM crust is a different breed. According to their website, the crust stands apart from the rest as it has a distinctive sweet flavor and soft texture that starts with a dough made from five simple ingredients and mixed with single-source Appalachian spring water. Now listen, I’ve never had a crust made with Appalachian spring water, but babeeeeeeeeeee. It is GOOD!!! LoL!!! Cheesy, Meaty, and perfectly baked. Not only was my pizza amazing, but every pizza that came to the table was awesome. If you’re in the area and looking for a Pizza or Salad fix, head over to Mellow Mushroom and get your order on!"

"Such a lovely place, situated in downtown ATL perfect location I ordered the Vegan pizza, I took a chance and went for the large and when I tell you it was delicious I mean it really was. Pizza nice and hot, cooked to my pleasure. The crust was crunchy and the toppings were amazing. Thanks so much for having vegan options."

"We walked here from the Georgia Aquarium, it was super convenient to get to and not busy at all, despite being a Sunday! Our server was nice, fast, and mostly accommodating, although our party of 9 had to be split between 2 tables. The food was very tasty, especially our pretzel bite appetizer! The prices were pretty decent too. Despite being a chain, this place really has a unique charm to it. I enjoyed my experience here, and would recommend visiting."

"Pleasantly surprised during our visit here. The staff was super friendly and the pies were incredible. Really impressed with the crust, both fluffy and has a nice chew to it. The toppings tasted fresh and the combinations were great."

"Right downtown nice area. The place is big with of course mushrooms are decorated. Service was fast and nice. The pizza was ok lacked sauce. We had a pepperoni and a chicken bacon on garlic sauce because they don't offer a white sauce. We also had drinks don't waste your money watered down. All in all its a nice restaurant."
