    The Moondust Margarita

    Great food great atmosphere and our server (Tristan) was very kind and helpful and did a great job with making sure we were good. I'll definitely be back. And happy to say my first experience was very successful.

    We love mellow mushroom! It's been a minute since we in the restaurant but everything was delicious as always. We were seated right away even though it was Friday night. The section we were in wasn't too loud or full. Our waitress was super friendly and kept our waters filled. Ordered a large half great white and half meat lovers. We were seated in the perfect spot to watch the storm roll in too. Might have make this a weekly tradition.

    Wr normally have enjoyed mellow mushroom pizza but this pizza was the absolute worst. There was no pizza sauce, crust was burned and the toppings were absolutely disgusting. I'm sad. We paid about 31.00 for a large pizza with three toppings and it was not edible. What happened to this restaurant??

    Pretzel bites and beer cheese

    Food was very good. Our pizza was made incorrectly and before we could say anything they had already brought a new one out. Portion sizes were good, pretzel bites were delish!

    I ordered a medium Streakhouse pizza ($24) and it had steak, mushroom ,onions, peppers, and garlic aioli drizzle. It was made in about 15 minutes and was quite large(about the size of a large takeout pizza). The steak was quite mediocre. I liked the mushrooms and garlic aioli drizzle. Staff and service were ok. For a chain pizza restaurant it wasn't that bad, I've had better pizza here but that could've been the pizza I selected. Overall you'll get an above average pizza. Food(50%): 6.2 Staff/service(25%): 6.0 Value(25%): 6.0 Overall: 6.1/10

    Something is off here. We all remembered the mellow mushroom of our past that was worth driving out of your way for and was really top notch. This however was absolutely mid at its best. The service and our server were great and the drinks were good. However, the food left so much to be desired if you were still hungry with the fruit flies flying everywhere. They were landing on our food and were literally swatting the flies away. (pictured) The floors were greasy and slippery. The calzones were the best items of the night, as agreed upon by the group. The pizza had the same quality as dominos. It was absolutely lack luster in every way. I cannot recommend you waste your time visiting.

    I placed an online order and it was stated that my order would be ready an hour later. Long story short it was ready when I got there in 45 minutes. There needs to be a more streamlined way to tracking the orders. The pizza was just okay. Really chewy. I got thin crust and it was not crispy at all. I did take out so I can't really speak to how to the restaurant setting was but it looked clean and there were plenty of people in there. They have a nice bar area as well.

    It was my first time trying a Mellow Mushroom. I opted for the small Holy Shiitake and added chicken. The pizza didn't take too long to come out. A man dropped it off and walked away without bringing me a plate, which was a bit odd. The crust was crispy and the pizza was tasty, but I was a bit disappointed by the small amount of both mushrooms and chicken on my pizza. Sarah, my waitress, was fabulous!

    I'd only gone to the location in Carytown and other states, so i was glad we came here for my niece's birthday party. The staff was laid back and friendly, even lending a hand in organizing the table arrangements. Service was cool and everyone was able to do things easily. I always order a calzone, because usually they're amazing. There was a new one, like a cheesesteak, as the fillings (similar to what I ordered), so I tried it out...... bad idea. The steak itself is tough and flavorless, I ended up picking it all out and eating the calzone just with the veggies period It seems they put a lot of meat and not so much cheese because the seasoned ricotta and mozzarella were almost non existant!! Ugh. We tried the drink flights and the cocktails were tasty, but tasted Virgin. The saving grace was Nightingale key lime pie ice cream sando. It was delicious!

    I'm from New York and it's hard to find a good pizza spot in Virginia but this place is really good

    Plain cheese pizza. Very disappointed
    Keegan L.

    We ordered takeout, two large ( just cheese and a custom ). The custom was good but the cheese was disappointing, the cheese was dredged over the whole pizza and very difficult to eat.

    Meatsa pizza

    We went to Mellow Mushroom to celebrate my grandson birthday. We had a party of 11 and were seated really quickly. The food was delicious. I had the meatsa pizza - 10/10. Definitely will be back.

    The outside and inside is beautiful

    I met a friend here for dinner. I grew up with mellow mushroom and was excited when this location came here! Delicious food and cocktails! I walked in and was greeted right away with a smile and got seated fast while waiting for my friend. My waiter was great and he recommended the Sunset in Paradise drink. I am always nervous about going to pizza places because some don't have non-dairy options and I LOVE that they do have that as an option. The Pizza was D-E-L-I-C-I-O-U-S! The cocktail was fantastic too!

    We had lunch at Emmy Squared on Saturday around 12:30 PM, and honestly, we had a great experience…read more Service was great, the cocktail was yummy, and I liked that they offered a "shortie" cocktail option at a better price. Hubby had the shortie, while I got the full size. We shared the Sriracha wings as an appetizer and a pizza, which was more than enough for both of us. Everything tasted great, and I really have no complaints. I'm honestly not sure why there are so many negative reviews about the service and prices. Everything is more expensive nowadays, and the prices here seemed pretty comparable to other restaurants. Overall, we had a really good lunch and would definitely go back.

    Full disclosure: I know restaurants are short-staffed these days, and I try to give grace for that…read more But last night stretched my patience. We sat in our booth for over 15 minutes before anyone brought water. Another 5 minutes passed before our waitress came to take our order. To be clear, when we arrived, only 4 tables inside including ours were occupied. By the time we finished eating, we were the only patrons inside, with just two tables outside being served by someone else entirely. When we finished eating we waited. We waited, and waited, and waited, and waited. Our waitress never came. My partner had to go up to the bar to ask for to-go boxes and our check. Not okay. Here's the thing: our waitress wasn't rude, and she got our order exactly right. The problem wasn't her. It was management. Wherever the manager was last night, I never saw them. Was it their night off? Fine, but if you know your team is short-staffed, you plan for it. And if the restaurant wasn't actually short-staffed and this is just the standard level of service, that's a different, more concerning problem. Now, the food. This deserves its own paragraph because it was genuinely good. I had the Deluxe deep-dish, and it delivered. Every bite had a satisfying crunch, the toppings tasted fresh, and the sauce wasn't sweet, which I appreciated. The crust hit that ideal balance of crispy edges and a cheese pull that was fully cooked through. My partner had the Meatziah (I think that's the name), and it was excellent. My son ordered the classic and gave it a 5 out of 5, which is a huge deal coming from a notoriously picky eater. The appetizers matched the entrees. The waffle-cut nacho potatoes were outstanding: perfectly cooked, loaded with amazing bacon, and topped with a chili sauce that built a slow heat in the back of your throat in the best way. The mozzarella sticks were surprisingly great too. The food earns 4-5 stars on its own. But the service, and more specifically the apparent absence of leadership, is dragging this down. If we come back, it'll be for takeout only. IF.

    This review is on service and service alone. When I lived in California I would go to BJs twice a…read moreweek no exaggeration lol. It's been a while since I've been in since the one in short pump is a bit out of the way. I came in a few weeks ago craving a pizookie realllll bad and decided to stop in after leaving the office. A few cars in lot but not busy. I walked in and there wasn't a host or anyone to greet. That's fine, I typically sit at the bar anyway. I waited a bit before anybody came out from the back. The restaurant is practically empty so waiting over 10 mins just to be greeted is crazy. Whatever, I took note and ordered my meal. Some people came in and waited a while as well for a host to appear. I went back last week hoping for a quick bite and another pizookie (the biscoff is beyond delicious). Once again there's no one at the host stand or even near the take out. I head to the bar again and notice one lady having a meal. I sat down and set up my laptop to do some work while I had my late lunch. Minutes go by and no one comes out. A manager (I assume) has a seat behind me and starts a mini meeting with an associate. Still no one has acknowledged me or anything. It's going on 15-20 mins. I would've at least liked a glass of water since it was 98° outside. Needless to say I packed up my stuff and headed out and that's when the bartender appeared with a menu. I left and went to Coopershawk. I was truly ready for BJs to be my hyper fixation for the next month or so since I forgot how much I enjoy their food but not if it takes 20 mins just to be acknowledged.

    We had a gift card for BJ's and decided to go for dinner. We ordered chicken tortilla soup and…read moresalad, chicken club, and lemon pepper dry rub boneless wings. Service was friendly, but the kitchen was really slow. My soup had a lot of spice to it, which was super good. The salad had a good amount of veggies. My husband's sandwich was full of chicken, but he thought it was a bit bland. My son liked his boneless wings, but wished there was more seasoning. We ordered an orange cream soda and sadly it was terrible. We tried the root beer and happy to report it was lovely.
