This Mellow Mushroom location carries a "pizza & bar" vibe. Come hang out with your buddies over some pizzas and drinks or sit around the bar. Their bar is in the center with seats around it. They cater to groups too. I was with a party of about fifteen and sat in a separate group space. I wanted to thank Christina for serving all of us. It's not easy for one server to manage a large group. Well done. The majority of my group ordered pizzas. They came out hot and fresh. My pizza is a half-and-half gluten free pie. I'm happy with the GF choice. I prefer thin, crispy-crust pizzas. The regular pizzas here have thick, doughy crusts. Those who ordered salads received fair-sized portions, easily sharable as an appetizer. Thanks for having us. It was an enjoyable experience. read more

Mellow Mushroom - Gluten-Free House Special & Kosmic Karma - Pizza Near Me - Burlington, North Carolina

We were sat right away. Our waiter came over, he was sweating profusely on his face and through his shirt. While standing next to our table he proceeded to remove the head covering he was wearing and wiped all the sweat off his face with it then said its really hot in here. (My sister actually went outside to get her jacket because it was too cool for her i was fine) Immediately we were taken back and a bit grossed out by his behavior. He takes our order an Icee and Tea. He asked if I wanted sweet or unsweet tea. I said sweet. He goes over to the icee machine wrestles the lid off touching all over it with his unwashed sweat covered hands. He never brought me my tea. It was not on the bill. The pizza was great the dip was great. The bread was sliced very thin and was rock hard compared to past times and the fresh parmesan was replaced with store quality shaker cheese that is not as good in flavor. One of the other wait staff wore a skirt so short it stopped at just covering the bottom. I suspected she might be wearing cheer underwear but this is not hooters it's a family restaurant and not appropriate attire. read more

Mellow Mushroom - Spinach dip - Pizza Near Me - Burlington, North Carolina

It's been a long time since we've been to Mellow Mushroom and I realize that we really shouldn't sleep on them. The bread has a great crunch and chew and the veggies were really good. That's what they did well. For some reason, the server who took our order for veggie pizza where we were adding ROASTED RED PEPPERS, wrote down ROASTED RED POTATOES. & this was after she wrote it down and repeated it. Who in the world orders potatoes on a pizza? No one I know. Then she asked if we wanted them to remake it. What do you think? SMH read more

I liked the ambiance and it seemed quite clean. The pizza was only mediocre, there was too much crust around the edge, not enough mushrooms, the green pepper pieces were too large, and I ordered extra cheese, but it barely had any. read more

I understand Mellow Mushroom is a chain restaurant, but it's consistently amazing. This location is also great with making sure food is ready on time for pickup orders. I placed my order via their website for an hour ahead of time for curbside pickup. I ordered pretzel bites and a large half & half pie. The pretzel bites are absolutely necessary to have at Mellow. They are light and fluffy. The half & half pie is my favorite way to have pizza here because you basically try two different pizzas for the price of one. Mellow Mushroom is celebrating 50 years so I wanted to try their new anniversary flavors - Super Pepp and The Marley. Super Pepp was a great mixture of pepperoni & and honey. I loved the pesto base from The Marley. The dough from the pizza (and pretzel bites) is absolutely perfect. I could eat it everyday. As always, my order was ready on time and still hot when I got home. The portions were a good amount as this was two nights of dinner for my husband and I. I will continue to return here and cannot sing their praises enough. read more

Lunch with my husband. Our server was a really nice young man. He kept checking on us, refilling our drinks. We opted for a lighter lunch.. salad and wings. The salads were a nice size and presented well. The ingredients were fresh. The wings were hot and the sauce was delicious. The atmosphere was relaxed. Plenty of TVs to watch. read more

The girls were awarded a certificate for a free cheese pizza for reading over the summer. We headed here excited to try a new restaurant. I ordered a burger and some sriracha wings. Both were old and not fresh! Ugh but the girls enjoyed their pizza so I am happy about that. Service was great and the inside is spacious, clean and inviting. read more

Enjoyed dinner with our son + friends + families during Elon Family Weekend 2025. Super busy weekend, yet manager accommodated our 15-person group and wait staff was extremely friendly and attentive! We ordered a variety of large pies and some individual ones for variety. The veggie holy shitake was out of this world! Their meat-forward pies are piled high. Nailed it on pizza crust. Everything was super delicious. Thanks for the great evening!! read more

Does NOT have trivia! Wonderful dinner. Fantastic fun place. Once did trivia but had to stop due to increasing cost.

This one caught me off guard in a great way!! Mellow Mushroom is always good, and the vibe is so relaxed. It's a consistent place that we have enjoyed in multiple states, and it's perfect for families or large groups. I have always thought it was a little pricey for pizza, but the food is good so I pay it without complaints! My daughter and I ventured into this location after a doctor's appt and were seated immediately. Our server was so pleasant and asked us immediately if we wanted to do the lunch buffet. Lunch buffet??? I had no idea they had this option!! It's very affordable and gives you the salad, pizza, and soup options all for 1 price! I tried multiple pizzas and they were all good. They were pizza options that I never would have ordered on my own, and I also enjoyed salad and their soup. Seriously... TRY THE SOUP!!! So delicious. read more

We ordered takeout through the website, so we didn't get much of an experience of the ambiance or service. The pickup was quick and easy, and the employee that helped us was nice. The food on the other hand... Wow... I had previously always thought I wouldn't like mellow mushroom. That pizza changed my mind. The pizza dough was great. The combinations of flavors on both the different types of pizzas was amazing. I loved the merry prankster, and my girlfriend loved the cuban. I honestly would order this exact pie again, and still want to try other flavors. This was a little pricey in my opinion for pizza, but to be honest is worth it. read more

I love Mellow Mushroom's wide variety of pizza options. Before becoming vegan my favorite was the Thai Dye Pie, but now I love that you can build your own vegan pizza. The vegan Buffalo chicken and shiitake pizzas are excellent! The atmosphere is really unique too. I feel like if you actually went to a Mellow Mushroom high, it would be quite a trippy experience but I love the eclectic decor. I went to this location when visiting a friend, but am bummed the one closest to me closed a few years back (Oakley, Ohio). read more

We were seated right away on a busy Saturday night. Our server Michelle, was attentive and suggested we get half House pizza and half Holy Shiitake to satisfying both of our palates. I didn't realize that she as even aware! We ordered the naked wings with Thai chili on the side. Man- those were nicely seasoned and didn't need sauce in my opinion. We ordered the medium which was 8 nice sized slices of a 16" pizza. The manager Barbie checked in with us several time of course I'm sure she's had to talk about the Barbie movie with several patrons each shirt. I was one of them. Pizza was topped with fresh ingredients. Next time I think I'll build my own as that's an option. The dining area was spacious enough to accommodate many people m. There's a bar and big screen tvs in the area for the sports fans. I'll definitely return. read more

This is my last visit. I ordered a steak and cheese with mayo. It was hard to find the cheese at all and since steak, cheese and mayo was all I got on the sub, I expected to be able to see the cheese. A steak and cheese is just not good without the cheese. It was just a waste of money. The girl working take outs was very nice, food was very disappointing. read more

I'm definitely a fan of Mellow Mushroom, having visited several locations over the years and being a regular customer when I lived in Durham. I've ordered takeout from the Burlington location a few times but last night was my first time dining in. For a busy Friday night, our party was still greeted very warmly by the hosts and taken to one of the few remaining available booths. Our waitress was friendly and efficient, bringing refills before we had to ask. Each Mellow Mushroom is different inside, though still eclectic. I love the quirkiness. The Burlington location is one big open space with a bar in the middle and booths and tables surrounding - it can be a little tricky walking amongst the tables to get to a booth and understandably it was a bit loud given the crowd. I ordered the small house salad with their signature esperanza dressing and a small holy shiitake pie. The salad was fresh and had plenty of parmesan shavings on top. The esperanza dressing reminds me of a cross between caesar and italian - I can't get enough of the stuff. The Holy Shiitake pie consists of several types of mushrooms on a garlic base with caramelized onions and three types of cheese. I've had mushroom pizzas from other restaurants and Mellow Mushroom's continues to be my favorite. I also really like their dough and it was just right this time - perfectly chewy with a little crunch. I'm looking forward to my leftovers! This location offers a lunch buffet during the week and it's a great deal - all you can eat pizza and salad. I have missed the buffet in Chapel Hill since the closing of that location so I definitely plan on hitting up Burlington's buffet soon. read more

Mellow Mushroom - Small Holy Shiitake - so good! And the small is quite big for a personal pie. - Pizza Near Me - Burlington, North Carolina

Food was gross but staff was alright. They can't help that the food quality was so poor.

My mom had never been to mellow mushroom before, so I pulled up. I have been to many mellow mushrooms, but not this location. They had just opened so they were not very busy. Everything was clean and our server was great. I started off with some sunsets in paradise (yummmy), and bruschetta. The bruschetta was perfect, I don't like when it's super crunchy. We order the cloud 9 wings, so delicious and wonderfully cooked! Unfortunately we were full after and decided to order pizza another time. read more

Can I preface this review by saying that I don't even like pizza . I don't know why it's never been my go to favorite! But last night I got a wild hair and decided that this would be a great choice for dinner. I am so glad we did. We had really great service and an amazing pizza. We shared a Caesar salad that was very good. Fresh greens and a really well done dressing! But the star of of the show is their new pizza The Merry Prankster! This pizza is loaded with green and red peppers, sausage, chicken and cheese and then so delightfully drizzled with an herby cream sauce. Oh my goodness. She's divine. I cannot recommend this one enough. I loved it so much I am eating it again as I write this review. Go now and eat it read more

It's been a long time since I've been here but when #SuperHubs mentioned it, I knew it was time to go back. I am so glad we did! Upon entrance, we were greeted warmly & immediately, led to a table, and given menus. No waiting. That was my favorite part. Our waitress got our drink orders instantly and we were sippin' on them within 3 minutes of entering the place. As usual, I observed the decor and cleanliness. The decor hadn't changed since the last time we'd been there but, hey, who really has time for all that? The place was spotlessly clean, smelled like pizza dough and sanitizer. The staff was masked up for our safety and our waitress was friendly. She took our order, sans notepad, and our food was delivered hastily. Must it really be said how delicious it was? (See pics) Though we waited years between visits before, I don't think we'll be waiting that long again. See ya soon, MM! read more

The worst food in Burlington. Service wasn't great and the atmosphere wasn't anything special. Stay away.... There are other places far better than this place. The prices are way too high for less than mediocre food and service. read more

Sadly, I'm writing a negative review. We chose Mellow Mushroom because we love the chain and the food. We asked for outdoor seating out of consideration for other guests ( my husband was on day 6 of Covid and did not want to risk getting anyone sick). We were told a 25 minute wait, which was fine on a busy Friday night at 7:20. We were happy to be seated ahead of schedule and encouraged when our server appeared right away. Sadly, it went downhill from there. We didn't see our server for 25 minutes, so we flagged another server because my husband wanted another beer. 45 minutes after ordering food and zero service or apology for lack thereof, I stopped the manager (Barbie) on my way back from the bathroom. I asked if there was any chance we would receive our food soon since it had been over 45 minutes since we ordered. Her answer? " we are not a fast food restaurant. You can expect an hour. ". Whaaat??? I was taken aback because this is not a high end restaurant. I am a mystery shopper for 5 star steakhouses that would be appalled if it took longer than 15 minutes to receive an entree. This is a pizza place! The server was not at all interested in giving us good service, and it's no wonder when the manager's attitude was as it was. The table beside us complained and was given coupons by their apologetic server. This is clearly a regular occurrence. It's a shame because the food was very good. That said, the service was not, and this is a very poorly managed restaurant. Pretty sure it was because we were seated outside. Each table had a different server, so it seems the outdoor tables were not part of anyone's section. The food was good, but we spent over two hours at a pizza restaurant, and none of the staff cared. We will not return. read more

It's a Mellow Mushroom. Not much else to say. I like their pizza. The gluten free crust still upsets my husband's stomach so I do go often.

Pizza was great but that was only half experience. We were seated right away even though the restaurant was absolutely packed. Our server,Kristyn, was an amazing delight. Even though she had a rowdy group she was tending to, it didn't take away from her going above and beyond for us. My experience here was GREAT and I will return. read more

Mellow Mushroom - Half & Half Pie - Pizza Near Me - Burlington, North Carolina

Decided to go have lunch here with my 7 month old baby outside on patio, and halfway through before getting my meal a wasp flew on my son a stung him. I looked around to see where it might've came from and to my surprise there was about 3 wasp nest on the roof of the patio. I spoke with the manager to let them know about it and also to ask for ice to put on my sons wound. They should've comped my entire meal for not protecting the guest that come to eat there, imagine if he was allergic. Jobs are supposed to inspect there entire job and for the safety of others. and all the manager could say was "Sorry that happened" and walked away. Will never go there again. read more

Waited 45 minutes to not get food and no explanation from the waitress but some sorry excuse about them giving one of our dishes to a gluten free party. Are you f*ing kidding me? We walked out hungrier than ever and vowing to never step foot in a Mellow Mushroom again. REALLY WANTED TO GIVE 0 STARS AND WOULD HAVE IF THIS APP WOULD HABE ALLOWED IT!!' read more

Walked in, waiter took us to a table quickly. Service came and took our drinks, got them really quickly! So far everything was quick and restaurant was clean. Food was pretty quick to come and was AMAZING!!! Pizza is great, wings are good, everything was good. They also have an Icee Machine and a pineapple mocktail. (not sure if there are more mocktails, didnt check). You can also spike the mocktail with 7-year-old aged rum, their beers are great aswell! read more

Very pleasant dining experience today. Our waitress was very good very attentive. We ordered some pretzel bites and we had two children to order the meatballs off the kids menu. And three adults ordered a large house pizza. What I found out was that the pizza stay hot until the final bite is very pleasing. I would actually almost give him five stars except it took a long time to get our food. The children's kids meal came after the pizza. Overall a great experience! read more

Great place, great food, great staff! The only reason I can't give it 5 stars is because we went through a. Small hiccup in service. We sat for about 20 minutes before my MIL got a manager and they apologized and got us a server. Once we did have service, it was very good. I didn't blame the server we got for the hiccup that wasn't her fault. The food was great as always. I tried the white pizza for the first time and while it was a simple pizza, it was full of flavor and worth the price. read more
