My mom used to bring me and my siblings here as kids so while I'm the area I went ahead and placed an order for my family and I so they could give my childhood a try! They absolutely loved it and we will definitely be back to actually sit in the restaurant. The only reason I am giving this restaurant 4 stars is because the bathrooms smell disgusting and seems like they need new pipes or an overall makeover for the restrooms at least. Other than that everything else was amazing! read more

Ordered a pepperoni and mushroom pizza for Mellow Mushroom this evening. It only took 15 minutes to prepare which is fantastic. The pizza was a large and turned out to be more than we could consume. Mellow Mushroom is a must for pizza and wings! read more

Mellow Mushroom is amazing! Our family goes here every Friday and gets the cheese pizza and the pretzel bites and beer cheese. We are OBSESSED WITH THE BEER CHEESE!!! Service is fast, although they did prepare our take out 2 hours late once. The inside of the building is very cool! With statues everywhere! read more

This was our first time at Mellow Mushroom -- I know, we're a little late to the party! We ordered a pepperoni and meatball pizza, our go-to when trying a new place, and it did not disappoint. The pizza came out fast, piping hot, and absolutely delicious. The atmosphere was fun and welcoming, and our server was A+ -- super friendly and on top of everything. Between the great service and tasty food, we're already looking forward to coming back! read more

Really tasty pizza. We got a pesto pizza with spinach and gorgonzola. Delivery was quick and the pie showed up hot and fresh. We'll definitely order from them again. read more

Yummmmmmm!!!! We love this pizza spot! We don't live super close but anytime we are in the Carmel area, we make an effort to stop here, either for eat-in or takeout. The service is always very friendly and the food is ALWAYS amazing. We try to come early in the day before it is really busy and as we walk in, we are always greeted and offered to seat ourselves wherever we'd like. Our favorite is The Great White. On this last visit, we got a gluten free and a regular Great White. I was pretty impressed with the GF pizza. The other awesome thing is their soda mix. They serve Coke products and the mix is always fantastic. read more

I dont get over to Mellow Mushroom very often, maybe twice a year. But have been coming for nearly 20 years! The food is always good. Service is always friendly. (If a little slow, but they can get very busy. Sit back and relax!) I really like the nice big booths in the back. We tend to always get the pretzels, and this time our pizza was just a pepperoni. (They have a lot of interesting options.) The dough is soooo good! My only negative is when our server said did we want a cheese sauce for the pretzles (they come with maranara.) That dinky little cup of sauce was $3! $1 would be ok. Really that should be mentioned. Sigh. And the music is fairly loud, a little hard to talk. It's a busy place, lots of kids, too. I must be old, sigh. Anyway, the pizza and the pretzles are a #yum ! #ReviewsByRL read more

Mellow Mushroom has it figured out and is is the best pizza you can get! I'm hooked, I admit it. It's baked on a stone to perfection leaving the crust just right. Using fresh ingredients brings pizza to a different level. Had the monthly special "Mad Italian" and the House Special" Pizzas that met my craving and now it's on my mind everyday, both were so good. The mad Italian starts with an Olive oil and garlic base topped with mozzarella, salami, ham, onion, roasted red peppers, pepperoncini and sprinkled with parmesan cheese, a great combo that will definitely satisfy your taste buds The house special has pepperoni, sausage, ground beef, ham, bacon, mushrooms, olives, tomatoes, peppers, and onions with a red sauce base. Oh, and we started with the pretzel bites w beer butter Parmesan cheese. It's a nice sized order that comes out piping hot with crispy edges and pillowy soft centers! Now you see what I mean. Just go see, you will love it. I keep pizza dreaming. Haha. The place has a lot to look at with their unique decor and the booth is comfy, with ample space. Service was top notch-we had a very attentive but not bothersome server. I'd give more stats if I could. Excellent! read more

I have to say I was not impressed. My friend had garlic knots and I thought the bread tasted like beer batter. Same with the calzones. I did have a salad that was fresh. Service was good and friendly. I doubt I'll be back :( read more

My last visit was a delivered Calzone that was big enough I cut in three pieces. Cut in half would have been two large meals. I've had other sandwiches there which were good. Some day I'll get around to trying pizza. It's har to judge prices with 3rd party delivery but last year my hunt for best meatball sub as about $11 before tax and tip. read more

What a neat spot! Lots of fun decor and art on the walls. It was very busy, but service speed was still good. We got a medium pepperoni and black olive pizza which was perfect for two people, but if you want leftovers, I suggest a large one. We were so hungry and the pizza was so good that I forgot to take a before picture. The pizza was on the greasier side. I will note that we had asked for it to be thin crust, yet I did not notice a difference between our crust and our friend's normal medium pizza crust. Oh well, it still tasted good. Their sweet tea was amazing too. read more

I had a large order of pizzas for a work luncheon. Pizzas were on time and warm which was very much appreciated. Employees enjoyed the pizza as we had not used this vendor in the past. We will use Mellow Mushroom for future business. read more

First time eating at Mellow Mushroom in Carmel and we were pleased to learn it was the same delicious experience that we have always had when eating at other locations on vacation! The Holy Shiitake small pizza was absolutely fantastic!! Great flavor and bubbly rise on crust and very tasty and clever toppings. The cheese bread was great and just crispy enough and my boyfriend's Italian sandwich was same excellent taste he's always had in Gatlinburg! Fun dining room setting full of color and quirky theming, nice outdoor seating area, good beer, cocktail and mocktail offerings and friendly service. Excited to get back and try the vegan cheese next time (they were out today)! read more

Mellow Mushroom Carmel - Drove 30 minutes to this kind of a welcome! Thanks for nothing. - Pizza Near Me - Carmel, Indiana

6/7/25 - Witnessed a worker in the back eating veggies bare handed out of the bowl of salad he was preparing for the lunch crowd from my table. Waitress was friendly and both pizzas were good. 9/26/25 - Gave them another chance ordering 3 pizzas online on the way home from the airport and they could not find my ticket when I got there to pick them up. My name/order was in the system but no ticket in their stack or pizza. Really disappointed with this place and it is the only pizza place close by that has a good dairy free pizza for my son. read more

It would be a five star review, but the guy working at the front seemed way too overwhelmed for there only being two people in the restaurant in the kitchen wasn't frantic either. I hope that is not who's running the restaurant and I strongly doubt it because I don't think it would be doing as well as it is under that sort of management. The only other thing wrong with this restaurant is the pretzels. Those pretzels being a fan favorite makes absolutely no sense to me. It's just like a cornmeal pretzel and I don't know what is appealing about that at all. Maybe poor service is what mellow mushroom is known for because the first time I went to a mellow mushroom was actually in Orlando Florida. That experience was poor due to a waiter, not knowing the menu at all, and then telling us that the dietary restrictions that we have would only allow us to have breadsticks. I remember eating the breadsticks and then quickly leaving. And then going online to check again and finding out that we had tons of options. How do you guys not accept Apple Pay? Like I personally love going to hole in the wall restaurants and can honestly say I have only come across now one restaurant that doesn't have Apple Pay. Apple Pay just makes life easier and my friends. It really doesn't cost much to get a new reader, but I guess they like to keep it old school and in the past. But with the attitude of the guy, I had to talk to on the phone and then end up dealing with in the restaurant, I would not be surprised at all if you guys do have Apple Pay and he just didn't feel like accommodating my very normal request. The pizza was easily a 10 out of 10. I loved it. I just get a regular cheese pizza nothing special and it was really good. And it wasn't that expensive either which was nice. What I will say is that the pizza is a lot more dense than I thought it was gonna be because typically I get pretty close to finishing a large pizza by myself which is nothing to brag about. I am a big back but this pizza I made it halfway through and I was full. I did have some pretzels that were easily a two out of 10. The only reason they're not a one out of 10 is because it did taste like they might use some yeast and that's the only way I think pretzel should be made especially in a restaurant setting, but the fact that people love them for their pretzels is genuinely shocking. Overall, if you were wanting a quick good pizza this is definitely a great option in this area. I used to pick up DoorDash or Uber eats at this location pretty regularly and I remember they used to hire a ton of high school kids and that usually brings the customer service to the level of maturity of the high schoolers in that area. I'm trying to politely say that the high school kids in the caramel area are not the most mature people and sometimes it does work having such young kids running the front of a restaurant, but other times it just kind of becomes a little clicky and a lot of high schoolers are nervous to talk to people and it made for a very long experience with a lot of the Dashers and Uber eats drivers being pointed at made fun of stared at. There's nothing hiding what they were doing so we all saw it and kind of just ignored it because there's not much you can really do other than just not pick up orders there. I'm glad they decided to stay away from that and keep the same great kitchen staff that they've always had. I do recommend this place, but probably better off earlier in the day read more

Good food! I'm glad that they offer just a slice for you to order. It's always fresh too. They make each slice fresh when you order it.

What goes around, comes around Ate the Kosmic Karma pizza and it was one for the books! So happy to try this new pizza it was delicious The pesto was also amazing and it definitely filled us up happily The pretzel bites and beer cheese in this Indiana location were also really good! If you're ever around a Mellow Mushroom you have to go and try their food, they never disappoint! We even got a complimentary brownie sundae for Jake's birthday not to mention THE AMBIANCE OF THE RESTAURANT WAS AMAZING! All the artwork was perfection and our waitress was super sweet!!! read more

Had dinner here and everything was delicious! The different textures of the bruschetta and Kosmic Karma pizza made me happy that we got both items on the menu, but they tasted very similar so I'll get one over the other next time (hard to choose between them though!) It did take some time for a server to come over, which had us waiting to order for a while. But our server was kind, and the interior decor was fun, vibrant, and interesting to look at as we talked and ate read more

We'd never been to Mellow Mushroom until a few weeks ago when 8 of us went for dinner. The interior has a funky, 60's vibe with cute decor. A large mushroom by the front door and a VW Microbus creates a hippie motif. We were concerned about how quickly our food would arrive with 8 people. It turns out we were worried needlessly. Our server was great, and drinks arrived quickly with timely refills. The pizzas and sandwiches were delivered together so everyone could eat with each other and share yummy pizza slices. The menu offers salads (Bacon Blue Wedge), pretzel bites, spinach dip, wings, and Bruschetta. All I could make a meal of. Of course, you can create your own pizza, select gluten or vegan free, order one of the specialty pizzas, or modify any existing pizza. A few of the pizzas that caught my eye were the Holy Shiitake and Funky Q. Chicken. I ordered the Kosmic Karma pizza covered with red sauce, spinach, roasted tomatoes, fresh Roma tomatoes, mozzarella, and crumbled sheep's milk feta cheese plus applewood-smoked bacon. The toppings were fresh with generous portions of each ingredient and a chewy crust. The bacon was my favorite topping and not overcooked. My next pizza will be the Pacific Rim or Veg Out and add the apple-smoked bacon. My husband ordered the Burger and Fries and said it wasn't memorable. This was a fun trip with the group, and I would recommend it to anyone who enjoys pizzas and salads. read more

We love their sour dough crust, so chewey and delicious! Their appetizer pizza roll ups are a must! They come with several dipping sauces to choose from. We went last Saturday and the service was slow due to their need of servers. It didn't take away from the food quality, always good! read more

I ordered a pepperoni pizza and an order of cheese bread from this location and both were way below average when it came to taste. The cheese bread was close to inedible, it was definitely a frozen cheese bread. The pizza was also below average but it was edible. It tasted like a bad frozen pizza, the only thing that was good was the cheese sauce. read more

Ordered a large pepperoni and large Pacific Rim without jalapeños and a brownie. Not gonna lie, price was a bit steep $53. But the large was bigger than I expected so it made up for it. Service was super friendly when I picked it up. She showed me the pizzas and noticed one was a bit smooshed so asked if I wanted to get it fixed or something but I told her it was fine. Ordering online and pick up in store was easy, plenty of parking available. Flavors and the texture of the crust are great. I just wish it was closer to home so I could make it a regular spot. Btw the brownie is rich and yummy too. read more

Dated furniture, rips and holes in every booth. Zero give a *%#{ present in any aspect. The service was less than par. I understand the situation with post pandemic hiring, but, wow. Sat in a booth "seat yourself" for 15 mins before anyone approached the table. Only 5 tables were sat and there were 3 waitstaff walking by the table. Not one acknowledged us at all. We orders our two pizzas, since the other items on their menu were not available , which would've been nice to know when we sat down, as one child does not eat pizza. We then had to get a pizza to go for the rest of our family and they complete forgot about the pizza. Then we did that awkward stand in the front waiting cycle for another 20 minutes. We were offered a $5 gift card for another visit.... Um, no thanks. It was quite disappointing, as their hours on the door and online were one hour later than them putting up chairs around us and trying to hurry us out the door... too bad the to go wasn't ready and we weren't rushed so much. It's such a shame, as the dough is incredible and this place could be doing so well. read more

Mellow Mushroom (Carmel, IN location) is a mellow, laid-back place with great food and friendly service. On our first visit, we ordered the Cheese Bread (French Bread smothered in Garlic Butter, Melted Mozzarella and sprinkled with Italian Seasoning. Served with a side of Mellow red sauce) for an appetizer. The bread was covered in mouthwatering, melted cheese, and the sauce was the perfect addition. For my meal, I decided to order a Steak & Cheese Hoagie (Mayo, Lettuce, and Roma Tomatoes, Melted Provolone, Grilled Onions, Mushrooms and Green Peppers). The hoagie was really good and exactly what I was expecting. I'm looking forward to another visit in the future and want to try their stone-baked pizza pies! read more

YUMMY! Our first time ordering from Mellow Mushrooms and it was so AMAZING we did it again the following night! Hubby tried a double order of Cloud9 Wings that were juicy and flavorful, stating "they know what their doing!" I tried their Magic Mushroom Soup and Holy Shiitake Pie, so good! This was truly one of the best pizza's I've had! We will definitely be adding this to our frequently visited hot spots! read more

Always been a fan of the Mellow. There is no location with the same vibe. Gotta love their signature dough and adding stores further north!

Ordered carry out buffalo wings, spinach artichoke dip, and a small buffalo chicken pizza. It was ready on time and my order was correct. Unfortunately the wings were so scary, the meat was dark, wrinkled, and mostly inedible. The dip was okay... definitely frozen microwaved vibes though. The pizza was bland, dry, and had chewy chicken. Would not revisit. read more

That was Impressive!!! Eight of us came to Mellow Mushroom after a local charity event. My wife loves MM because of the gluten-free and dairy-free options. She has Celiacs disease, and a dairy allergy, so safe places to eat are very important to her. We started with our drinks and began ordering appetizers, and our server, Delaney, let us know that she would do her best but asked for our patience. A large party of 40 had come in, and she was running TEN tables by herself. She didn't say this as an excuse, but she wanted us to know we were important to her and that she would do her best. During the course of the meal, Delaney was kind, attentive, friendly, funny, and had a phenomenal attitude. I was a server when I was younger and good at my job, but ten tables is a LOT, even for an experienced server. Delaney never lost her cool. She was fun, funny, friendly, and just a total class act. Everyone in our party loved her! I want to let the owners and corporate know that tonight Delaney represented your business superbly. Please give her my thanks and the thanks of our entire party. We were very impressed! If you do something for your employees who go above and beyond, please do something awesome for Delaney. She certainly deserves it. We wanted to make her night a little special, so we tipped 50% of the bill. Everyone kept chipping in because we wanted her to know how much we appreciated her! read more

Great service and vegan options. The holy shiitake is my go to and does not disappoint. I also do carry out, but inside looks nice and welcoming. It's in Carmel close to a lot of shops to walk post meal as well. read more

Mellow Mushroom has been one of my top favorite pizza places for several years. So, I can't believe I've yet to have reviewed them. Tonight, I ordered a couple pizzas online for pick up. We decided to try the Buffalo Chicken pizza and then also ordered a cheese pizza and a Mighty Meaty pizza for those who were scared to try something new. Our pizzas were ready 30 minutes later for pick up. Mellow Mushroom is only open for pickup and delivery right now. The restaurant was empty and maintaining social distancing was easy. As usual, everyone loved their pizza. The Buffalo Chicken Pizza was a big hit and was gone quickly. I thought it was delicious with the blue cheese dressing. read more

Pizza!! When I was diagnosed with so many food sensitivities, I thought pizza was on the chopping block for me, but Mellow Mushroom has a delicious gluten free pizza with vegan cheese, that also doesn't have any other ingredients I can't have, and tastes great to boot! According to other members of my family, their other pizza rocks too! This location was having some work done this weekend, so I couldn't get the whole vibe of the place, but I especially liked the VW decorated booths! Every Mellow Mushroom I have been to has been a 5 star, and this on did not disappoint!! read more

Not my first time to a Mellow Mushroom chain. This is just as good as the other locations I've been to. Love the chill and Grateful Dead vibes in all of their locations. Staff was really good here. A fun sit down or take out pizza parlor in general. This time around we opted for a standard pepperoni, however we spiced it up with their new Cloud 9 wings... yes I was on Cloud 9 eating them; the garlic Parmesan taste hit the spot. Great family spot, worth checking out if you're in the neighborhood. read more

Nope, they were out of chocolate milk. Then we ordered plain milk for all 3. Got 1 glass, and they were out. The management said it was the was the owners wife's responsibility to get them milk.

We decided to check this place out since we had a BOGO coupon- we tried the pretzel bites as an appetizer- not a fan of these or the beer cheese dipping sauce. They were ok ... and we finished them.. but didn't enjoy them The pizza was pretty good -we ended up with leftovers and I actually enjoyed the pizza much more warmed up then at the restaurant. The atmosphere is fun and our server was very nice and friendly. Pretty good pizza but personally would not pay full price to come here again. read more
