Pizza Lover? Mellow Mushroom is the Place to Go!

By Sandy Axelrod

My husband and I have been to Mellow Mushroom on several occasions because we love a good pizza and the stunning Equestrian theme. On our first visit we remarked about the friendly and efficient staff and that has held true on every visit since. We order the regular fabulously light and delicious crust but there is a gluten-free crust option for those who don’t eat gluten. So far we have tried three or four of their pizzas but always seem to come back to the Holy Shiitake Pie. The Holy Shiitake has an olive oil and garlic base topped with mozzarella and Mont Amoré cheeses. On top of that there are button, portobello and, of course, shiitake mushrooms along with sweet and luscious caramelized onions. Then the whole thing is drizzled with garlic aioli and black truffle oil and garnished with fresh chives and shaved Parmesan. My mouth is watering just writing about it!

Not a big mushroom fan or want something different? Well here are some of the other pizzas choices that are drool worthy:

Gourmet White which starts with an olive oil and garlic base with sun-dried tomatoes, provolone, feta and mozzarella cheese, Roma tomatoes and onions.

House Special consisting of a red sauce base with mozzarella cheese, pepperoni, sausage, ground beef, ham, Applewood smoked bacon, mushrooms, black olives, Roma tomatoes, green peppers and onions. And as if that wasn’t enough the whole thing is topped with more mozzarella cheese!

Mega-Veggie with a red sauce base with feta and mozzarella cheeses, sun-dried tomatoes, spinach, green peppers, mushrooms, onions, black olives, Roma tomatoes, broccoli, banana peppers, artichoke hearts and tofu.

Bayou Bleu which has spicy bleu cheese topped with all natural grilled shrimp and Andouille sausage covered in mozzarella cheese and garnished with chives.

And if these don’t suit your fancy you could build your own. I could go on and on with the different pizza selections but there is so much more at Mellow Mushroom than just pizza. They also offer Build Your Own Calzones and Salads in addition to a full menu of salads, hoagies, and munchies. Steve and I have personally enjoyed the Oven Roasted Wings which are very crisp and double baked. You can have them hot, mild, bbq, jerk, sweet Thai chili or naked with your choice of ranch or bleu cheese dressing and celery on the side.

The entire menu is reasonably priced with the specialty pizzas ranging in price from $12.99-14.99 for a small to $19.99-22.49 for a medium to $24.99-26.99 for a large.

Mellow Mushroom also has a wonderful Happy Hour Monday through Friday from 3-7pm offering 1/2 priced draft beers, house wines and well drinks. And on Friday and Saturday they have a Hippie Happy Hour from 3pm until close with $5 specialty drinks.

So now that it is practically dinner time we are going to head over to Mellow Mushroom for pizza. I must have one NOW!
