Great spot for food and drinks during the day and late night dining. I want to point out that this is probably the best place I have been to for late night dining and reverse happy hour 10pm-close; 1/2 price most all their drinks and food. Sadly its not really advertised anywhere and most likely why people don't know about it. I came in late at night, there was background music, TV's playing sports and other entertaining channels and the floor (actual floor and tables and amenities were all very clean and set properly). I actually felt bad for Mellow Mushroom that it was so dead when I had arrived (10pm on a Tuesday) because its a great place and it was pretty dead inside. The bartender was on point with mixed drinks and poured beers very well (as in no foamy head). The only thing I would suggest to management is to adjust the recipe for the cheese that comes with the bread/garlic knots, (I don't remember the exact name but the little pretzel like dough buns, which tasted great especially for less than $4 during reverse happy hour.) the cheese is too runny and drips everywhere (the table and my shirt, with every dip) after dipping the little cloud of deliciousness into the cheese and trying to eat it. I will definitely return for their specials and relaxing ambiance. read more

Waitress was nice, but for a $30 pizza you'd think there would be toppings. The pizza was 80% dough - almost zero sauce and toppings. Not sure if it was a mistake or a reach for profit margin (likely cost less than $10 to make). It was extremely dry and when we voiced our disappointment it seemed to be somewhat brushed off. They did comp our children's meals but didn't do anything about the pizza itself. Spend $100 on pizza elsewhere. read more

Literally out of the 4 times I've eatin there... 1 occasion pizza missed almost every topping and looked abused like a finger was pushed in it (see pic). I ordered ONLINE too... so how can you get that wrong?? The other 3 times the orders took wayyy longer than stated. Worst location. I've been to 4 so I'm a pretty loyal customer read more

My favorite late night dinner spot! We always get the soft pretzels as an appetizer and they never disappoint! The service is great!

Went there for breakfast and our server and the manager was very attentive. We both got biscuits and gravy (I picked the green chile) and we were both very happy with our meals. We also ordered a single French toast and the manager waived the side charge. That is possibly the best French toast I have ever encountered! Perfect amount of cinnamon with a nice little crust but inside was perfectly cooked! And that whipped butter is to die for! read more

This use to be our spot. Go here every other week to enjoy the happy hour (drinks half off, my love language). The service is pretty good, sometimes food came out quickly, other times felt like we would wait a little, but that's not even the reason behind the one star. About a month ago, we ordered our last round of drinks and we were picking at the Sausagefest calzone (so yummy) and SMACK a cockroach fell from the ceiling and landed on the table, FREAKING NASTY! We spoke with the manager and they gave us a small discount (still paid for most the bill) and sent us on our way with a $25 mellow mushroom card. So, RELUCTANTLY, we went back about a week ago to use the card (which can't be used on alcohol, we learned unfortunately) and NO FREAKING JOKE, my friend says "turn around" and INCHES from my head is a cockroach on the seat I'm sitting at. The waitress was kind enough to kill that MF, but seriously???? The manager remembered us from the first incident, and we informed him we weren't paying for our meal and we wouldn't be returning to this establishment, because the roach problem is excessive. Who knows how bad it is in the kitchen, YUCK! But the ambiance and vibe was great, until the roaches became apart of it. Enjoy at your own risk! read more

Would've loved to try the food but we sat for 20+ minutes waiting for someone to acknowledge us in an empty restaurant on a Sunday after being seated. Took off. read more

Love the aesthetic of this place, definitely a place to be high as fuck. Food is awesome as shit and the crust is unbelievable I would totally recommend it. Staff are great as well and are always down to help. read more

The employee walking around with the bug zapper was very concerning. We were already mid meal when we heard the obnoxious sound and realized that this employee was actually walking around the restaurant zapping bugs!!!

Jordan is always our server on late Friday nights and we usually come in with about 10-15 people. We are always taken care of and the service is the best! we make sure to go every Friday because of the great experience! read more

I recently discovered this place with some friends and I've been going back regularly since! The staff here is super friendly and really makes you feel welcome as soon as you walk in. The decor is very intriguing and different and just really catches the eye too. I've only gotten a handful of things from here such as their calzones and specifically their holy shiitake pizza. I have to say I never thought I'd order a pizza that wasn't filled with meat but I can't stop ordering that holy shiitake pizza. The food comes out quickly and is hot and delicious. The crust on the pizza has a bit of flavor and parmesan cheese on it. It's the perfect soft yet pleasantly chewy crust that you can't help but enjoy. The pizza itself is a garlic sauce base and it really has a nice kick for a base. The pizza itself has a variety of mushrooms, caramelized onions and some cheese of course. It even has a delicious drizzle of garlic aoili! Seems rather simple when you look at it but oh man does this pizza pack a punch when it comes to flavor. Before you know it you'll have eaten half the pizza because it's just that good! read more

Excellent. Food, service ambigú. All very nice. Went back 4 times in a month to take others to try it out. No one was disappointed. We ordered individual pizzas to get a taste of as many as possible each time. read more

This is one of my favorite Mellow Mushroom locations! The service is always really good (as soon as we finished a beer the waitresses would be there to ask if we needed anything else), and it's never crazy busy so you can usually get a good spot at the bar or somewhere at a table with a good view of the TVs. A lot of times I just drink here, because they have such a great beer menu (lots of cool IPAs to choose from and they're new every time I go), but last time we got the Great White pizza and mild/jerk wings. All of it was delicious! Definitely going to continue coming here on football Sundays. We also got the free salad for checking in! read more

Mellow Mushroom is my favorite pizza in Arizona! I like that the crust is a bit harder, not super doughy. Their pretzels are amazing. The beer cheese is amazing. Their beer selection is great. Servers are always cool. Would highly recommend!! read more

I took my family for the first time to Mellow Mushroom. The food was tasty. Me and my wife shared the meatball trio appetizer. The kids had the pretzel bites. For the main dishes, I had the meatball hoagie. My wife and kids each had small pizzas. The small pizza is bigger than expected. The portions are large, so come hungry or be ready to take a box home. But the food is delicious. read more

Casual environment, tasty food. We got a calzone (which is huge) and a BBQ chicken pizza. We also got the artichoke dip. Everything came out hot and ingredients seemed fresh. read more

Try the Caesar Salad Pizza, an Arizona franchise exclusive, and you won't be disappointed! It comes pilled high with chicken Caesar salad on their whole wheat crust topped with a pesto sauce and mozzarella cheese- seriously heavenly! We normally start with the artichoke appetizer and split a small pizza which is enough to fill two adults. They have a great selection of craft beers on draft, although a little pricey compared to other restaurants, as well as a full bar for non-beer drinkers. I love the décor and how each location has it's own personality. Join their text club for deals and definitely swing by for happy hour! read more

The pizza is always perfect... the extra cheese is oh sooooo noice. Do you like a stiff drink too?

They brew their own ice tea which is delicious. My girlfriend and I always get their House Special pizza with BBQ wings. I gave 4 stars because I think they are pricey. $7.99 for 5 wings or $12.19 for 10 wings. $29.99 for House Special Pizza. Overall the interior design is awesome and the place is clean. read more

Kaelin was incredible! She has literally made our night so much better. She made us feel so important, and I feel like we gained a friend after tonight. She has the best personality, and I cannot wait to come back to see her. Jesse was also hilarious, and made sure to check on us multiple times throughout our night. Bryan was our bartender and he got our drinks to almost as soon as we ordered them, and I truly couldn't have thought of a better way to end my day. I have been going to this Mellow for so long, and truly tonight was the best experience I have ever had. Kaelin, Jesse, and Bryan, thank you for making the middle of my week better! read more

Woof. We came here on a Sunday evening and were seated immediately. The restaurant was not crowded and there were three servers on the floor. We arrived at 7:00 and no one came to take our order. We had since seen him take 3 Other people's orders that arrived at the restaurant after us. 7:20 finally rolled around and we had to flag down The hostess seating another family. 15 min later our waiter finally greeted us and at this point we told him we would just like the pizza to go. He said he would rush the order - 45 min later. Our pizza finally came out. We probably won't be back. read more

STOP! RUN! SAVE YOURSELF!!! Sunday afternoon, place is half full at best and it was the worst experience ever! I'm so embarrassed! I actually told people to go there! My experience with the Tempe location has always been good... Well, there's always been some wine involved but yeah, good times! We eventually got drinks... I ordered the Greek salad and half Italian sandwich. I'll accept partial responsibility for ordering something other than pizza and expecting excellence but this was seriously bad. Greek salad consisted of mostly iceberg (ICEBERG!) and a touch of romaine, a couple olives, 4 slices of Roma and super stinky white onions. Greek salad clearly calls for red... Dressing was some sort of thick muck similar to... oh, I don't know, spolied sour cream? Okay! I just can't believe my eyes! Got the bill and I was actually charged $1.49 for shitty frozen supposedly red (but unrecognizable) potatoes!!! OMG!!! Don't ask me if I want 'chips or roasted red potatoes' like it's a 'choice' and then charge me for them! They were disgusting and I didn't even touch them! This place is dead to me... 3 hours of my life I will never get back! read more

Let me start off by saying that the food was pretty good. Tried both the shiitake pizza and the house pizza. Both were ridiculously good. Fresh ingredients and quality items. It's a little pricey, but well worth it. The service was great as well! Very fast, friendly, and knowledgable. They really do have a great team! Why the three stars? The kitchen is a hot mess. No other way to put it. At my table, we had 5 pizzas redone because the kitchen messed them up. That being said, it also took 3 hours for the group as a whole to get food. In all fairness, we had a big group. No one is perfect and there will be mistakes. Even the time it takes is expected to be longer, but not 3 hours. I will give this place another shot in a few months and hope that all the "newness" has worn off. I really hope that this turns out to be a great place we can come back to. read more

First off, I love Mellow Mushroom!! With that being said...This place needs a lot of help. We went here on Memorial Day for some drinks and pizza. There was a wait but most of the tables were empty. We figured they might be short staffed. We then sat at the bar and got some drinks. The beer selection is superb and they offer a lot of local companies with unique beers. The bar was attentive and probably the best experience we had the rest of our visit. After being seated, no one came over for 30 minutes until we finally flagged down someone. No one was assigned to our table so she volunteered. Finally, we put our order in and it was another 45 minutes until our pizza came. The pizza was piping hot out of the oven and delicious! We got the loaded potato pie and it's always a winner. When we went to pay the bill, it took another 30 minutes for our waitress to pick up our check. This was probably the longest I have ever waited to eat something and I've been in parties of 20 people at a restaurant. There were only 4 of us. I hope things get better in the future since I love not paying for parking on Mill. read more

Alright, Mellow Mushroom. Ya done did good. Ordered two pizzas via Doordash tonight, and they were 'Mellow Mushroom Standard'. There's really nothing else that I can say about them, either way. If you know 'Mellow Mushroom Standard', then you know how amazing their pizzas are. If you don't know, then I'd recommend that you come find out. There really isn't another pizza like Mellow Mushroom's, and I could waste a bunch of words telling you why they're my favourite, but I'd rather just let their pizzas do the talking. These recents pizzas were perfectly balanced, and weren't greasy like the last ones. I'll continue to order from them, and if they ever 'slip up' again, I'll be sure to update my review. But for the moment, I'm perfectly happy with two perfect pizzas. read more

I ordered the gluten free mighty meaty and it's absolutely delicious. The gf pizzas seem larger than other restaurants I've been too and doesn't appear to be the standard "udi's" crust you get at a lot of restaurants. The restaurant wasn't terribly busy on Saturday at 3 o'clock and we were seated and served fast. The music wasn't loud and there were 3 college games playing on the TVs above the bar. I love the ambiance and the restaurant was clean. Wait staff attentive and friendly! I will definitely come back! read more

Me and my friends come often as our Friday hangout spot and Jordan is always accommodating and helpful with dealing with all of our chaos.

Glad to see mellow mushroom come to the east valley. Food is good. Chef salad with Esperanza dressing is the way to go. Dressing is really good! We got calzones for dinner..,very good! Sun dried tomatoes and pepperoni is the way go. Great beer selection...black market brew left dreamsicle --wow! Service was slow despite restaurant being relatively empty. Flies everywhere...not sure what can be done to control this but it was noticeably bad. Will be back! read more

Sean was our main guy last night as we had a wedding eve party for 30 people in their special event room at the Mellow Mushroom in Mesa. At first we wondered how we were going to fit 30 people in this smallish room but it turned out better than we could possibly imagine. We all had just enough room to move around while visiting with everyone. The food and drink were delicious and the service was impeccable and friendly at the same time. I would recommend this restaurant to anyone and their special room for a group was just perfect. read more

Was so excited about mellow mushroom opening around the corner from us we went on the grand opening for lunch and had a great experience! Understandably a bit of a wait for our food (35 min) but it was the first day so let it slide. Went again today with our neighbors for my husbands birthday and it was a TERRIBLE experience. Arrived at 1pm, No wait for a table. 115 order taken, 210pm food arrives for half the table (minus the kids meal and one main dish), 215 ask again about kids meal "oh ya that will take awhile longer" wait a kids mac & cheese will take 1 hour to make? No apology from the waitress, she actually seemed to ignore us like we were bothering her. 240 still no mac & cheese for the toddler, cancel it & ask for bill. Bill comes with no apology 10 minutes later. Finally a bald manager comes to apologize for the wait, appreciate that but man these yelp reviews dont lie!! Dont go to MM if you want good service or your food served timely. Back to downtown Gilbert we go, at least they have great service. read more

Let me preface by saying we only chose this restaurant because all the other restaurants around it had 30 min wait times and this restaurant had no wait...this should have been our sign to go elsewhere but we were starving. Restaurant was pretty empty when we walked in however the server still seemed bugged we were there, not welcoming at all, it was clear he did not want to be there. It was uncomfortable but we ordered and the food came out fast. The prices for food are high for what you actually get, small portions that were heavy on the cheap ingredients. Our food was also prepared wrong. Ended up taking my food to go and came home to season it up, add in an even amount of protein and then it was okay. I will give them credit for having a beautiful restaurant, ambience is there and the artwork they have is wonderful to look at. There's absolutely potential here but after giving them a try I completely understood why they were so empty compared to all the restaurants around this area, we won't be back. read more

My husband and I tried this place out a while back and received okay service. Nothing to rave about and the food was average (I will say their pretzel bites were amazing though). We decided to try this place again tonight and I'm honestly embarrassed for the server and this restaurant. We were seated right away but that's where the positives in our experience ended. Our server came by and took our drink order. We ordered waters and she walked away. No "I'll have those right out for you" or even an "okay". When she brought our waters she took our order. We started with the hummus and we each got a sandwich. I ordered a mix drink at this time and she asked my husband if he wanted anything besides water but while he was clearly eyeing the beer taps to make a decision she walked away again without a word. He stuck with water. Eventually our hummus and pitas came out. It was okay, not much flavor in the hummus, should have stuck with the pretzel bits again. Then our food came out. She checked on us once when we were practically finished with our sandwiches. She refilled my husbands water and when she brought it back to the table she just sat it down as she continues to walk away. We dared to order dessert and she literally placed the pan on the corner of the table without a word and took off again. When she checked on us one final time we said we were ready for the check and away she went again. A few minutes went by and she swung by the table again but only to silently take our parmesan shaker to another table. More time passed and she dropped the bill. We planned on splitting the bill part card and part cash but after realizing she was too caught up chatting behind the bar with the bartender to come back we threw down some more cash and left. My husband and I both have managed and served in restaurants before and so we understand the difference between having a full section and being busy versus having 3 tables 2 hours before close and just not caring if your customers are doing alright. Out of curiosity after our experience I looked up some reviews and good god this place needs some revamping. I saw way too many reviews talking about the long wait times, subpar service and just average food. A sea of 1 star reviews in a matter of 3 months is a sign of a serious problem with the staff. For their sake I hope they do some retraining because this location needs it. read more

The worst mushroom soup I have ever had. You would think that a place named the mellow mushroom would actually put some effort into the mushroom soup. Bland and oily. Seemed much more like a sauce for a very bland beef stroganoff rather than a soup. Our server was attentive. read more

Really good pizza with some great combinations. Staff was awesome, and the setting is comfortable but impressive.

The food was pretty good, but the customer service was a bit iffy at the end. When it was time to pay, we gave them cash, and the change back was a few bucks and some change. When our server brought back the receipt and change, we only had the bills but we were short the coins. I called the waitress over and she told us that usually they round down, so they tried to not give us our change. Of course a little change isn't really going to make a difference to us or our day, but it's truly the principle that didn't sit right with us. So then after we had to ask for OUR money back, she gave us our change. Probably against the law but hey if that's how she makes her tips go her haha‍ read more

I was a walk-in, carry out order, thin crust, medium Holy Shiitake. Was speechless when my order was brought to me. The box was filthy. It looked like someone had spilled salad dressing on it and wiped it off, but not before it soaked in all around the front edge. I was too tired and hungry to raise a fuss and demand a fresh box so off I went with it. The pizza itself looked beautiful. I love a thin, yeasty and chewy crust and it was all that! Sadly, the toppings were a huge disappointment.A mushroom pizza should have a generous portion of mushrooms! There was just about the amount of them that you would expect on a pizza with other ingredients. Certainly not anywhere near enough to get mushroom in each bite! There was a general low level sour taste as well. At first I thought it might be the caramelized onions, but again, there was so few of them that I couldn't blame the sourness on that. Maybe it was the cheese which appeared to be poor quality. So little mozzarella that they should have been embarrassed to serve it. The pizza was dusted all over with a dry cheesy powder that was very unappetizing. The garlic aioli had very little flavor and I could not detect the supposed drizzle of truffle oil that should have been there. I ate half a slice and called it quits, despite the good crust. I brought the remainder of the pizza in for a young male co-worker who is always hungry. His remark : "Didn't you say this was supposed to be a mushroom pizza?" Come on, Mellow folks, mushroom pizza deserves to feature mushrooms! read more

Showed up to pickup my order. Your greeter when and got my food and then handed off to me and yawn without even looking away or covering her mouth. Than i get home from a long day at work, thinking they got me every on my order. I was missing extra stuff I added on my sandwich and paid for! Half way eating my sandwich, me and my wife noticed we missing chips too. Good size sandwich but I just lost like $6 extra I paid to add more stuff and no chips. First time, I don't know if I'd go back again with their service. read more
