    The pizza we ordered, visibly devoid of pepperoni.  Slices missing because we were hoping to find some hiding under the cheese.

    Bad first experience with Mad Mushroom, after hearing good things. I regret suggesting it to my party. We'd just had coffee around the corner at Chaotic Good, and were thinking of where to grab food for the night. We figured it was a weekend, so we decided a small splurge might be nice, and Mad Mushroom was right there. Whoops. Walked in and placed an order for takeout, place was empty but the service seemed nice. The woman taking our order was friendly, even complimenting my partner's pride-colored watch band. We were excited, it seemed like the kind of place we'd come back to. Ordered two pizzas and some breadsticks, for a total of $69 and some change, before a 20% tip (that, in hindsight, seems a bit much). Not the most budget-friendly, but we've spent more on fancy pizza, so it didn't seem so bad, as long as we got what we paid for. One pizza was a monthly special, and as far as I can tell, it came out alright. The other was a make-your-own 16" pizza with 5 toppings, coming in just over $30. Pepperoni (the "cup and char" variety, specificlaly), Mushrooms, Ricotta, Garlic, and Peppadew. We get home, check the pizzas, and don't see any pepperoni. I check the label to make sure they got the order right, and the toppings are clearly listed right there on the box, "CNCP" for Cup 'N' Char Pepperoni. Okay, maybe it's hidden under the cheese, which would be weird when we specifically asked for the kind that is supposed to "cup and char" in the oven, but almost forgivable, even at the price point. Upon further inspection, nope. Not a single piece. That sucks. It's okay, we'll call and they'll probably make it right; it would suck, but I could drive back out and pick up another pizza while the other one gets cold, or maybe they'll let us pick up a correct pizza tomorrow. Nope. My partner called; I wish I'd called instead. They were offered a refund. Of one topping. On a $30 pizza, missing the only meat. Imagine paying for a burger and being told you could have $1 back because they forgot the beef, or ordering a latte and being told you could have $0.50 back because they forgot the milk. That would be insane, right? Would it be so weird to expect someone to re-make either, correctly? In the process of asking about all this, they apparently messed up while trying to do even this much, and cancelled the whole order, asking my partner to read their credit card out over the phone so they could CHARGE THE ORDER AGAIN. Minus the cost of one topping, apparently. For some reason, my partner agreed to do this. They were unclear, but seemingly also "credited" us $5 towards our next visit, "for the trouble." Absolutely ridiculous. So if we want to chase their mistake with money at a future time to hopefully get a correct order, we'll be spending $7 less? Just make it right! It's not the customer's fault if you mess up on something that is clearly listed on the order. Re-make the pizza tonight, refund the pizza, or credit us the full price so we can get what we actually wanted the next time we come in; because if that were the case, there might BE a next time. I guess the lesson learned is that we need to stick with old favorites that have never let us down, and there's a ton of those around here. It's a shame, because what we do have tastes good enough. I don't know if it's $30-a-pizza good; we can do better at Puccini's, Goodfella's, or Joe B's. But there seems to be some effort made to use good ingredients, so that gets another star. The mistake itself wouldn't have cost a star, if it weren't for the refusal to just re-make the damn pizza.

    Garlic sauce was a nice touch!

    The small pizza was more enough and it was really good. The service was great and the restaurant has a nice vibe.

    For the size of Lexington, there are not as many (non-major chain) pizza delivery options as I'd expect. Mad Mushroom has always been a great choice for me though. Orders are always correct, fresh, and prompt not to mention you aren't going to find a better order of cheese sticks.

    I've had their pizza a few of times and each time, the pizza was incredible. Their Hotbrown pizza rendition that they offered during Pizza Week was my favorite option of pizza of all of the pizza options. They were one of the only ones that offered a small pie, instead of a shabby slice like the some of the other WP participates offered. Way to go, taking advantage of the marketing benefit of Pizza Week. I've since been been back twice after pizza week. The Hotbrown pizza is no longer offered, which is my only peeve here. They have salads, sub sandwiches, calzones and cheese sticks that seem to be the highlight here. I just want the dang Hotbrown pizza!

    Ate the Mad Mushroom pizza selection for pizza week which had a nice white sauce. This is the only pizza week place that I have eaten which your soft drink was included for $6.00 which was a pleasant surprise. The pizza week pizza at this location seemed larger than other pizza week pizza sampled. I enjoyed this pizza maybe because their white sauce was really tasty. This location delivers to the University of Kentucky. I took half of it to go and ate this one later. I have enjoyed trying new pizza places and this one has weekly specials posted on their windows that seemed like the way to go if you are a student

    Cheese sticks add pepperoni $8.25.

    This was really good! 18 pieces for $8 and it tasted like good dough and quality cheese. They also reheated well. Definitely will go back.

It came with a side salad and I enjoyed the homemade thousand island dressing. The hot brown was stacked high with turkey and country ham on Texas toast. It was loaded with mornay sauce and meted cheese. It had enough to make every bite cheesy. The wife had a classic cheeseburger with cheddar. It was dressed out with lettuce, onion and tomato. The fries came with it were hot and fresh. The train motif is throughout the entire place, even the clean bathrooms. There are a set of dual railroad tracks outside the windowed dining room.
