    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

    The Speciality Pizzas
    Thomas R.

    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.

    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 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.

    Got delivery while in town, and it was great! Pepperoni rolls were our favorite, along with the white pizza.

But.....their staff that I have encountered the last two days are the man reason I will remain loyal to them. The personableness and kindness I received the entire time I was there is what is missing in a lot of the world these days. They are two blocks from the hospital and I was going to stay the night with my grandmother. Both took the time to ask about her, talk about my situation, and make sure I felt like a friend before I left. I didn't place an order and wait for it to be handed to me. I was talked through a menu I was unfamiliar with. And I was treated like a human being. Can not wait to return.

    Like most college towns (I suppose), Athens maxes out the quantity on pizza choices, but the…read morequality often lags behind. That's been true for as long as I can remember, because I grew up here and I'm pretty damn old. Automatic Pizza has to be on the high end of the Athens pizza quality scale, though. Enough so that, as I explain in most recent Yelp review I wrote, we'd drive halfway across Athens to pick up a pizza from here even though there was a neighborhood pizza joint just up our old street. Housed in an old corner gas station that has since served time as the Black Forest Bake Shop, among other things, Automatic goes for the New York style and does it better than most places outside of New York and the Northeast do it. Good sturdy, flavorful crust with zesty sauce, the large size (18 inches) is massive clown-shoe pizza that is totally foldable, the way I want to eat this style of pizza. The staff has always been friendly, too. Parking is a bit of an annoyance. There are like three parking spots, and the cross-streets don't have much in the way of street parking. Four-stars-plus.

This was my first visit, but my friend had been before and couldn't wait to bring me. Now I completely understand why.

Inside, everything felt elevated without being pretentious. The atmosphere was beautiful, the service was warm and attentive, and the food absolutely delivered.
