Mighty Meaty

You can't walk past this place and not smell the fresh scent of pizza! I've been to a few other Mellow Mushroom locations but this one hit the spot. The staff was attentive, quick and super nice when it came to getting our orders in. The food tasted great and they even had a fun holiday special going on if you buy a $50 gift card you get an ornament. Would definitely come back soon!

Omg you can do a half and half specialty pizza what!!! Amazing I had the Kosmic and the tye dye pizza! If you like basil the kosmic is so good. If you like Thai food the tye dye is great!

Great location for baseball or a performance at DPAC. Come early before your event and relax with a drink and nibbles before.

Before an event at DPAC, my adult children and I decided on Mellow Mushroom for dinner. Birthday girl's choice. We split a med and a small (veggie and Holy Shiitake, respectively), and some beverages. We sat on the patio, which was just as loud as inside the regular restaurant. We could hardly hear ourselves catching up on what new adventures we had going on in our lives. Every surface is hard, and most are parallel, so there's absolutely no noise dampening, even with all the bodies seated around. It was a Saturday night, so the place was packed, but the servers and food runners did an admirable job of keeping folks fed and hydrated. The Holy Shiitake was for me, and the others split the veggie. (It's the hobbit in me - I love mushrooms!) It's shiitake mushrooms, a ton of garlic, white sauce (Ranch?), and shaved cheese. I needed a bit more salt, but it's a perfect storm of umami to me! No one complained or said anything at all about the garden pizza. It was onions, green peppers and tomatoes. MM's crust is pretty great. I had a Henderson's gin drop no that was, for all intents and purposes a riff on a White Linen. This is one of my favorite summer slammers, and the elderflower, gin, citrus and cucumber were perfectly balanced. I prefer my cakes a bit muddled, but otherwise, it was great. I used to meet here with a group of friends to share tech chats, but we had to stop due to the noise and no one being able to hear two seats away. That was over a decade ago, and I'm surprised they have done nothing to rectify the situation. A few soft wall coverings and some angled baffling would make a world of difference! (and get that fifth star!)

My colleagues and I visited this restaurant today for a team luncheon. We had reservations, so we were seated quickly upon arrival. There was a good bit of people in the restaurant as it was lunch time. This restaurant has adequate spacing between the tables, so it is not a cramped atmosphere. The server was personable and came by our table to get our drink orders immediately after we sat down. The server gave us sufficient time to look through the menu to decide what we wanted for lunch. There was one colleague that was running late and didn't show up until after we had already ordered. It took a little while to get the attention of a server to put the last order in. Additionally, the server never did bring an extra set of utensils to our table after our last colleague arrived. I ordered a chicken hoagie and others ordered steak hoagies and pizzas. We all enjoyed our entrées. The combination of the mushrooms and onions in my chicken hoagie made it quite tasty and flavorful, and the toasted bread remained firm. We enjoyed our team luncheon.

first time eating here, and i will say it's okay for the price. It was overpriced for how small the pizza is, and the crust is majority of the pizza. the actual taste was good but not worth how much i spent. There wasn't too much room to change the toppings unless you wanted to pay a lot. I would go back if it's for a social thing, not just to order out

Hubby and I were visiting family on vacation and we absolutely loved Mellow Mushroom!!!! It was the best pizza we have ever ate and we have had quite a bit of pizza over our lifetime! Hubby keeps talking about the integrity of the crust and how it was just perfect; almost we are both carnivores but the mushroom and white sauce pizza was one we were checking to see who would get the last slice; Customer service by the 2 young ladies was exceptional and the ambience was amazing -- definitely appeals to all age groups

Yummmmy, food always gets me full, Place is so creatively decorated. Service isnt the best but its cool

Calzone with mozzarella, grilled chicken and spinach. Lots of dough, but it tastes decent so that's okay. Overall a good calzone.

The brewery staff was great, the pizza staff was rude.. I have been here many times because I love…read morethe pizza and sour offerings. We have many breweries closer to home but we drive 30 minutes out of our way for the pizza. I always tip them well even though they don't serve you. Today when I went to pick up our pizza, one of the staff members was rude and snarky towards me. I don't driver 30 minutes out of my way for that. I will patronize a local business that's closer to me next time.

I've been to the Raleigh location as well, check out the review if you want to know more. Panysaurus over all is a cool place (either location) but they have drastically different vibes - which in my book is a good thing. The Durham location brings you an awesome patio scene! The bar itself is a bit small but their indoor/outdoor approach makes it seem huge. The patio is two floors, both covered, one just off the bar and the other right about that which has a few TVs for those interested. Off of the patio is a nice size "beer garden" sitting area complete with picnic tables and a great view. If you are looking for chill family friendly patio vibes this is the place to be! I really love Ponysaurus beer, their pilsner is nice but their kolsch is my favorite. If you've been to the Raleigh location, the Durham menus is not the same. Yes they have pizza but it doesn't seem to have the same options - still good though. We went with a hankering for the hummus we got at the Raleigh location, again the Durham location had hummus but a different variation. One thing that's consistent with both locations is the amount of pita that came with the hummus, there is nothing worse than getting a huge bowl of hummus and only a few pieces of hummus or chips. Both locations knocked it out of the park. Plenty of WARM pita for everyone. This location is somewhat self-service, the bartender obviously poured out beer and there is a cute window for picking up snacks but no table service.

I enjoyed it so much by myself that I set up a meetup for my dining group the following week. We sat in their back room, and everyone enjoyed the various menu options.

They have both booths that are very comfortable and tables that can be pulled together for a group. I took advantage of a lunch special and had a meatball sandwich with salad. Yum! The sandwich could have used more sauce but the huge meatballs were wonderful. The salad was so much better than other places....real greens, tomato, cucumber and OLIVES! It was tossed with a super dressing. The service was excellent and both ladies that were working checked on me often. One of the ladies was a bad influence when she told me about the dessert choices. Everything is made in house except the gelato. I chose the cannoli cheesecake! Wow!!!!! It was awesome! Clean, comfortable, great food and prices. I have found a place I will be coming back to when in the area!
