    GF original

    Ordered a gluten-free original pizza and it was *loaded* with toppings! The crust was ok, nothing spectacular though. The freshness and variety of toppings made it worthwhile. Shout out to our server, Bryce, for the excellent attention to detail and timeliness with refills!

    We were visiting from out of town in Athens and had to have Mellow Mushroom pizza. We ordered it to be delivered to a local brewery. It took a long time for them to get to us but I have to say the pizza was great. We ordered mushroom, pineapple and jalapeno. YUM! It was worth the wait. I also like the box design. June 16, 2024

    Awesome sports bar with good bar food. Had a meatball sub and some pizzas with the peeps recently and it's just always a good spot for a quick hangout and to watch an nfl game.

    I haven't come to this Mellow in ages because I was trying to avoid an ex who used to work here, but I figured now that he's gone I'd give it a shot. Needless to say, I probably shouldn't have. Funnily enough, we were greeted at our table by a server who my brother and I had a bad experience with two years back (God knows why I still remember him) so that was rather amusing. We opted to get the large specialty "Veg Out," and as neither of us like mushrooms I asked if we could sub it out for jalapeños. Our server says the kitchen can in fact do that, at which point he jots down the order and heads out. Imagine our surprise, then, to find on our bill that subbing out mushrooms for jalapeños was $3. It really doesn't get more predatory than that, folks. By no means does $3 break the bank, but it does leave a bad taste in your mouth about Mellow's business practices. Regarding the server himself, he was a bit of a klutz. Somehow he managed to spill not one, but TWO drinks on the booth and floor during the hour we were there. Luckily neither were at our table, but as a customer it is a tad disconcerting to not know whether you'll be the next victim or not. 3 stars for the quality of the pizza (good as always) and the vibes, which are immaculate. -2 for the service and predatory upcharges.

    I like the options at this pizza place. Crazy names for the pies and all that. They always have a theme to each restaurant. I think this was Bulldogs for some reason . The pizzas are always good. Wait time for a table is usually a bummer. They even have vegan pizza!

    Our friend recommended this restaurant for dinner. The following is a summary of my thoughts: Pros: - I thought it was cool that the waitresses wore clothing that looked more comfy and casual (t-shirts and jeans/shorts) than the normal restaurant uniform - Paper straws - Art for sale on the walls made for nice and colorful decorations - Pizza sauce was good, although it tasted similar to that of the Freschetta frozen pizza Cons: - Very loud - I could barely hear the people sitting within a foot of me - My sangria was more on the bitter side than sweet - The pizza: It wasn't cut all the way through! We struggled for 2mins trying to cut one slice out of the pizza. We asked a passing waitress if she could take the pizza back to be better cut, and she told us to ask the waitress assigned to our table. Generally speaking I did like the pepperoni pizza, but I am not a fan of Parmesan. Maybe I was absentminded when reading the menu, but I wasn't aware the pizza came with Parmesan cheese sprinkled all over the crust, which is my favorite part. The taste reminded me of Cheez-Its and it's a big turn off! A restaurant whose specialty is pizza should try a little harder to distinguish itself from the competition. The attentiveness and appearance of the service was a good start, but for me the pizza fell fat.

    Well, insanely busy the food was still great as always. Service was reasonable given the chaos. Environment was great and beer cold.

    The pizza is incredible, but the Greek salad with Esperanza dressing is the best thing on the menu!

    The food was good. I got the chicken Caesar wrap. It's a good option for Athens but i definitely…read moreknow there are better out in the world. It's not chopped on the inside and skimpy on lettuce. No croutons in it either. Overall, food was good but the workers were so odd. I stood at the counter and three workers were standing back there but not taking the initiative to take my order. They were being so awkward too. It was so odd and something I've never really experienced lol. Probably won't be back due to unhelpful staff.

    (This is not a sandwich review as I have not tried the sandwiches lol)…read more OMG!!! We have never been in here and boy was it shocking and overwhelming......in a good way. I got to see a beautiful soul that I haven't seen in a while (go check out anything beautiful and sweet and she probably made it. Her name is Megan and she is amazing!!!) Back to Athens Cooks. lol We loved looking at all the stuff. There is literally every gourmet cooking device you can imagine in this tiny lil shop. We didn't eat! We will definitely be back to eat and buy stuff! Just stopped in for a coffee and check it out. I had salted caramel "special" and the hubs had the Mexican Mocha. Mine was good but his was unbelievably delicious!!!! Spicy, cinnamony, dark and cozy. We will definitely be back for the coffee, as well as to try everything else, especially the desserts!!! Go see my friend and enjoy some heavenly sweets and the super comforting coffees and teas!!!!
