Our waitress, Zoe, was awesome super fun, high energy. She was very helpful and accommodating! The food tasted great but took forever to come out. Understandable, they were pretty packed. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It can get pretty loud at times but the energy at this location is very upbeat.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

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. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The section we were in wasn't too loud or full.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Our waitress was super friendly and kept our waters filled. Ordered a large half great white and half meat lovers. [[HIGHLIGHT]]We were seated in the perfect spot to watch the storm roll in too.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Might have make this a weekly tradition.

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) [[HIGHLIGHT]]The floors were greasy and slippery.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] 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. [[HIGHLIGHT]]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.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]They have a nice bar area as well.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

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!

Beer flight

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!

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.

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

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!

Holy Shiitake Pizza
Connie T.

It hits the spot whenever I have a pizza craving. They're usually really busy so wait times can be long and service can be slow. I'm not a huge fan of pizza crust but I like theirs. It's doughy and perfect with a side of red sauce. I've tried 6 of their pizzas and you can't go wrong with any choice. It's easy to order online on their website. There's also plenty of parking in the shopping center.

Tazza Kitchen was a lovely choice for Valentine's Day. The atmosphere struck a great balance…read morebetween elevated and relaxed. Special enough for the occasion without feeling overly formal. It was my first visit, and I was genuinely impressed with the ambiance, service, and overall quality of the meal. The menu offers a nice variety of food and cocktails. I ordered the espresso martini, which was smooth and well balanced, and my boyfriend had the Vieux Carré, which he really enjoyed. We started with the cast iron goat cheese, and it was rich, layered in flavor, and paired with bread that was delicious on it's own. For my entrée, I chose the margherita pizza, and it was one of the best I've had. The sauce was perfect, and the crust had an ideal texture and flavor. My boyfriend ordered the spicy sausage & black pepper honey pizza. While neither of us found it particularly spicy, it was still bold and very flavorful. Service was friendly and efficient throughout the evening. It was a wonderful experience overall, and I'm looking forward to returning.

I really wanted to enjoy Tazza Kitchen. The food was actually really good, which somehow made the…read morewhole experience even more frustrating. When we first walked in, the place was pretty crowded, but we were able to grab a couple spots at the bar and figured we'd settle in for a good night. That's where things went sideways. The bartender appeared to be the only one working, and while I understand being busy, the attitude and behavior were honestly shocking. Every interaction felt aggressive. Remotes getting slammed around. Napkins and pens tossed onto the counter. Water being splashed onto the floor like a toddler throwing a tantrum. The entire atmosphere at the bar felt tense and uncomfortable. It got to the point where we almost felt awkward ordering anything because every request seemed like it was ruining their night. At one point another couple sat down next to us and almost immediately started looking around like, "is this really happening right now?" I actually ended up warning them that no, they weren't imagining it, and that it had been our experience the entire time too. That alone should tell you how uncomfortable the atmosphere was. Which is unfortunate because the kitchen actually did their part. The food was good. Really good. But good food only carries a place so far when the service makes you want to leave before the meal even arrives. I've worked in and around hospitality long enough to understand busy nights happen. But there's a huge difference between being overwhelmed and taking it out on customers. Tazza Kitchen has the food figured out. Now they just need the front of house experience to match it.

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.
