I'm thrilled that they have a delicious vegan pizza option! Seriously so good, and the staff is always super friendly and attentive :)

The good: The atmosphere and decor. This restaurant is very pleasing aesthetically. Management is good. We ordered a pizza and when it came out, the manager wasn't happy with how it looked and said it was over cooked. So they gave us that pizza but told us they had already started a new one so we would be getting that one too. I appreciate them noticing the poorly cooked pizza and fixing it! The bad: Everything else, sadly. Our waiter was inattentive. After bringing us our drinks, we didn't see him again for over 10 minutes. The place wasn't busy at all and I could see him chatting with the table outside. The garlic cheese bread was missing garlic. The salads had so much onion in them, I couldn't taste anything else. They are huge but it's all lettuce and onion. And the ham on my salad was a big wad of ham lunch meat slices. It wasn't diced, I don't know what I'm supposed to do with that? And it was incredibly fatty. The salad bowls had a layer of brown on the bottom - dirt maybe? I don't know, I didn't notice until I had eaten as much as I could. And then the pizza.... it lacked flavor. There was hardly any sauce. We got half pepperoni and half Pacific Rim and the only thing you could taste on the Pacific Rim was the occasional jalapeño. Needless to say, the bad far outweighed the good and I will not be returning. Ever. read more

Mellow Mushroom is one of my favorite places! And I discovered it is great for breakfast, lunch or dinner! The big biscuit sandwich and coffee press French Roast was awesome and delicious! Can't say enough about the pizza. Any kind you want, you will be pleased. Salad the same as it is fresh and presentation is appealing as well. Great place and will continue to return. Why would I not as it's so good and fun to go there. read more

I was so looking forward to coming here. But unfortunately the service was a total let down! Came in at 930pm on 6/17 and was greeted by a host that obviously needs to be trained on how to do a his job. He was asking every customer if they wanted booth, outside, or table. (In a very timid and awkward way) When he go to us he was about to give us the same spiel, but we went ahead and said booth. And he was all awkward,and laughed, and handed the menus to the hostess who took us to our table. No "thank you for coming", no "how many people today", and definitely no "how are you doing tonight". So we waited and chatted for a bit and couldn't help but notice that all the tables around us were dirty and needed to be bussed. And as we waited, we witnessed several employees just walk by it not even taking notice. After 20 min of not even getting water or greeted by a server, we decided to walk out. And we knew they knew we were there. We saw several employees looking over at us or helping another table. The place wasn't even half full? We just found this to be utterly unacceptable! As we made our way towards the exit, the same host was still at his post. He did not make any eye contact with us or or say anything like "thank you" or "please come back". Overall, I am sure the food is fantastic here. But we were not able to taste or purchase anything due to the lack of service here. In my opinion, that host should either be fired or put into a different position. And the staff needs to be trained to treat customers with importance and have a since of urgency. read more

Although my first initial experience at this location was extremely bad due to them being short staffed they provided me with great customer service. Their pizza are good, I had the Mighty Meaty pizza and the Bruschetta as an appetizer that was below average. read more

Went there for the first time last night. Pleasant place I guess. Sat outside. Asked to have the heater turned on, never happen. I ordered a protein burger. It was sold to someone else and had to wait longer. Better yet it was not even right when it came out. It was dry and with no Caramelized Onions. The other orders were not brought out together. The 3 ladies in our group decided to share appetizers. The came out one at time and not close together at all. Had a hard time just getting out water refilled. Probably will not be back. read more

Ray our waiter was amazing, super nice good punctuation and over all a really nice person! The food was amazing, came out quick and was so yummy. read more

Good food, terrible service! Took twice as long as it should have, we weren't really even sure who our server really was.

We ordered the " Holy Shitake Pie" and because it was so good, the 2 of us ate a whole medium pizza minus 1 slice, even though we were full. 3 types of mushrooms, the crust was flaky like pastry, and it had a rich cheesy flavor. The staff was friendly and on point. We will be back. read more

This place is hit and miss. Our first visit shortly after it opened was perfect! Their S'Mores nitro was delicious and perfectly poured, the pizza was cooked evenly and loaded with tasty topping, hummus and pretzel bites spot on. The next visit was not so great. The beers were bitter and my pizza was burned on the bottom. The other's at my table were fine though so maybe it was a one off. I will give the place another chance to live up to the first visit, but it seems like they may have a lot to iron out. On the plus side the atmosphere is fun with unique architecture and sculptures the seating is extremely comfortable and makes you want to stay forever. read more

Okay, some of my favorite things after three visits: Sunny- she's there on Thursday nights and she's fab!!!! Happy hour- half price on most appetizers! YUM Speaking of appetizers- sweet Thai chili wings! And spinach artichoke dip! Oh my. And finally- the funky q. Chicken pizza I don't know why the crust is so good on their pizza ... but it might be the buttery garlicky parmesean Cheesy and the crunch when you bite into it but the chewiness at the same time... mmmmm... read more

We had lunch here today and it was fabulous! The veggie calzone was amazing and plenty large to share. Our son had the old school jerk chicken sandwich and loved it. We will definitely go back. read more

Great place. Everytime I'm in I see the manager (Joe) doing his thing. Out on the floor helping out and making sure everything is ship shape. The staff is always friendly and keeping up. The overall vibe is super mellow. Nice place to sit and have a drink, take a date out or have a family outing. They can do it all. Super satisfied with the food, the kitchen can't miss! 6 out of 5 stars? If I could, yes. read more

We eagerly awaited the arrival of this new location. Great beer selection (and they are on TapHunter to boot). Had the meatball trio appetizer and a loaded potato pizza - the food arrived in a timely manner and was quite tasty. Will definitely be back to try additional menu items. read more

Mellow isn't far from my work so we go at lunch or after work some days. It's pretty consistent - the pizza's good, and we always get pretzels beforehand. The beer selection is good and changes quite a bit. If it was closer to my house I'd go more often. read more

It took a hour to get two small pizzas with the restaurant being half full. The pizza was good but I rather go somewhere else if the service is that slow. read more

Mellow in Mesa is awesome. I've been coming here for about a year now and I'm never disappointed. Logan, Brandon, Robert, Gab, Chris, Jillian, Dana, Anthony, and every body else I forgot to mention are the best. No matter what night I come in, their customer service is phenomenal. And the food, oh my gosh, AHHHHHHMAZING. Their reverse happy from 22:00-2a is the best. All bars should have this happy hour. If you haven't been here already then you need to get here. I love everyone and the atmosphere but, Logan is my fav!!!! read more

First experience here...Saw a 515pm movie at Ahwatukee 24 and went to the Mellow Mushroom nearby for dinner after. Normal restaurant trouble....Wait for 2nd drinks, one meal delayed out of 3....But the food was pretty good. My one huge complaint was that when we got home I took a closer look at my son's leftover calzone....It was completely undercooked! I turned it over and it was all just dough....Like dough, dough.....And yea...That's not cheese! read more

I really like this place! I fell in love with the ambiance. I love the outdoor charm & feel. We ate outside & it was perfect. The pizza was great- loved the veggies!! The cheesey garlic bread was awesome! The service was slightly slow & our drinks were continually empty, but the waitresses were friendly. Excited to come back & try more of the salads & appetizers!!! read more

One meal was missing an ingredient . The manager came to the table, reeked of smoke and while resting his dirty fingernail hand all over our napkins, proceeded to tell us we were wrong. The other meal was not prepared as requested. The server was friendly enough and had the kitchen remake the order. The manager delivered the Re do and proceeded to try and convince us to take the food mistake home. He then tried to guilt us by telling us how they do not like to waste food, wow, real classy. Not to mention the food tasted like s*** read more

The food was great, the happy hour is always a great deal, but the service was god awful. Our server checked up on us only twice- 3 times in the first hour we were there, our waters were never refilled, or alcohol, until we walked up to the bar and asked, after watching them just standing around. Then he brought us 2 waters for 7 people. And then at the end he charged EVERYBODY'S card wrong, it's not hard to take care of a party and these guys absolutely could not. read more

First time for our group tonight. They had a vegan pizza which made our vegan happy, another had the Hawaiian ( had different name) both excellent. We had the cloud wings which were some of the best along with great ranch dressing! I had the California club which was very good and 2 had the meatball subs! We all left happy! Not sure why it took us so long to try Mellow mushroom but glad we did. Service was good and full bar provided adult beverages. Win! read more

Good food but bad service. Hostess does not greet you. Simple says "who's next" and takes 10 minutes between seating people. Got our appetizer, and had to ask for plates and tableware. The server accidently dropped the salad dressing and it spilled on the table. He didn't come back to clean it up. We did. Our bill was wrong and the manager had an attitude. He fixed it but was clearly annoyed. And to top it all off, when I got the charge in my bank account, it was $2 higher than it should have been. Take out is fine but service stinks. read more

Really good food and customer service! My husband and I came here with our 11 month daughter. Our server, Kaelin, was wonderful. She put in our daughter's order asap and had it out quickly. Our pizza ended up getting burnt so they had to remake it. The manager came out and apologized and offered us the pizza for free as well as any salad while we waited. We thought that was very nice of them to do that. We had the Maui Wowie pizza and it was INCREDIBLE! Amazing flavors and perfect crust. We also enjoyed their meatball appetizer. Highly recommend this joint. read more

I'm really shocked to see negative reviews. I've been to this Mellow Mushroom 2xs since it has opened and both me and the people I have been with loved it. Both times I went on a Saturday night and at the most waited 15 min to be seated. The small salad was big enough to share for two people. My favorite pizza so far for this meat lover has been the veggie. The veggie had tofu on it, which sounds like it wouldn't work but actually complimented the pie nicely. But I think the wow factor is their crust. I don't know what's in it, but it is so dang good. They had a huge selection of beer and spirits and their regular drinks come in gi-normous cups so you will never need a refill. Will be back again soon fo sho! read more

We come here often for takeout orders and the pizza and salads are amazing!!! Make sure to try some cookies, too!!

This was our first visit but we will definitely be back. Dana was a very good and knowledgeable bartender and very bubbly. We tried the mushroom soup, a salad and a pizza and it was all great. read more

We tried this location using a Groupon last week. It was a weeknight, and not very busy. Our server was nice. We shared a house salad which was just "okay". It was missing the cheese it said it had on the menu. We ordered a large pizza with the works. I forget what it's called, but it had several meats and veggies. It was delicious. I loved the crispness of the crust. We will definitely be back to try some of the other menu items. read more

My husband and I came here with our 4 year old son and enjoyed ourselves. The atmosphere was very casual and low key it's was a very nice place. The food was good, I feel the pizza sauce could be a little stronger with flavor but overall good. The pretzel with beer cheese was so so so good. We will definitely go back read more

We are big Mellow Mushroom fans - and we used to frequent the one in downtown Chattanooga when we lived there. When my son asked me to find one for his 7th birthday - I was so glad to discover the Mesa location. It was the right choice!! First, what a fun environment! Lots of great decorations - yet very clean and with a nice touch of a feel of fine dining- there is no question the folks who run this place take pride in what they do and how they do it! We had the good fortune of sitting at Bryce's table. He was a phenomenal server. From the minute we sat down, he was friendly, attentive, and very efficient. He was great with the kids and my birthday boy was thrilled! Bryce brought large drinks but with lids so there was no spilling. We liked him so much that my husband asked for the manager to pass along the compliment. The Assistant General Manager Anthony, was a breath of fresh air. He was engaging, funny, and a really nice guy - who runs a great establishment. He was on top of the restaurant but took the time to chat with us. He and Bryce both made us feel so welcome. We will definitely be back and will likely be regulars! Hang on to these two guys. They make a nice chain restaurant really stand out. Worth the trip!! read more

Breakfast menu has a nice variety, Saturday crowd wasn't busy with no wait. Service was good. I ordered a ice coffee with cream. Very plain nothing special. On the menu I think it says 3.99 for an ice coffee. Finished the first and ordered another thinking it would be free for a refill. Got my check and was charged 2x 5.50 for each plain ice coffee. Asked my waiter see if he could do anything about the coffee. I guess the manager could only change the price to 3.99 like it says on the menu instead of being charged 5.50 for each coffee. Also my omelette was slightly under cooked almost runny on the inside. read more

My wife and I wanted to try this place for breakfast, touting the areas best breakfast, place was not busy, order was taken promptly, however the food was delivered almost 30 minutes later. Considering there was a handful of people in the restaurant. The wait was overly long. Food was delicious and portions were satisfactory. Wait staff friendly and courteous. read more

Great food everything is fresh. Nothing is made before you order. Absolutely the best in town. Staff is great and friendly. Food comes out hot and delicious. You can't go wrong. Anthony is the best server around. Highly recommend the food and the service read more

Mellow Mushroom Mesa - Great place great food. Anthony is the best - Salad Near Me - Mesa, Arizona

Mellow Mushroom is our family's go to place for dinner. The food doesn't skimp on flavor and they have the best happy hour in the valley. Our first experience many months ago our server was Anthony. He went out of his way to walk us through the menu and he blew us away with his knowledge of the bar menu. He's polite, efficient, knowledgeable and by far the friendliest server at Mellow. We've come back week after week always asking for Anthony. The food is awesome, but Anthony keeps us coming back. If you're looking for a great night out with or without the kiddos, Mellow Mushroom is the place to go. Make it even more awesome by requesting Anthony. read more

The server was awesome and the food decent. We were a party of 3 until the black flies showed up. At first it was just two buzzing around us and then a full squadron on the back of the seat my friend was sitting on (8). Manager is aware of the problem but gosh hasn't figured how to take care of it read more

Awesome food. Pretzel bites were great, pizza was awesome. Steven was awesome. Very friendly good conversation. Will definitely be back!

****updating review**** The owner contacted me to discuss and asked me to come back for a 2nd try. I have not had the chance to do so, but the owner reaching out and reading reviews says a lot. I'll try to again and see how it goes :) I get that this is a laid back kind of place but that shouldn't mean little to no attention. The food was decent. Although it does take a while to come out. We were all pretty pleased with it. Our waitress however was pretty lax. She took our drink order. Forgot the lemons someone asked for and didn't offer sweetener. I know I ordered unsweetened tea but that's because I want to control the sweetness content myself. We pretty much didn't see her again. Our drinks remained unfilled until another waiter asked if we would like refills (she did refill the water, but we had tea and sodas at the table). The pizza came out, brought out by someone else. And we had no plates. So she brought us plates. The two people who helped our table were more present and friendlier than the waitress we had. Before we were even done eating she was quick to ask about dessert and bring us our check though. Which I find offensive as you're trying to push us out. Sorry the tip wasn't very good but you didn't really do much. Laid back shouldn't mean bad service. Had she acknowledged her absence or forgetting lemons or anything... we would have been more forgiving. But nothing. We probably won't be back. read more

The food was delicious but the customer service sucked. I ordered curbside pickup, there was no designated signs, I waited a bit and just went inside. There were was one table occupied and people sitting at the bar. I was pointed to the area where to pick up by the hostess. Stood there 5-10 minutes, finally the busy bartender asked if I was helped yet. He seemed to be the only one working with the customers. 3 girls were folding togo boxes and 1 other was walking around talking. The manager needs to work with his help if the place wants to stay in business. Like I said maybe 15 people in there at 6pm on a Saturday. read more

This place just opened by my house and we love pizza but my sister worked at the one on mill & said they treat their employees horribly & has nothing but negative things to say about the company so we've been hesitant to try it. We are here now and the menu is chaotic, hard to read & cares more about being cool then delivering what they have to offer in a clear fast manor. We finally deciphered the menu we ordered 2 small pizzas. Waited 35 mins for them to come out & paid $13.00 a piece for them.... the short of it is our bill is double what We'd pay at a place where the pizza is good & I can name 10 places I'd rather eat pizza 9 of them are cheaper & all are faster. The serves was fine no problems there I actually felt bad for the servers as my sister had told me so many stories. We won't be back. read more
