We love coming to mellow mushroom! The special pizzas that are specific to this location we're very unique. We especially like the Caesar salad pizza which included Caesar, cheese, chicken. We got two large pizzas which were split so we got to try four different flavors it was a great ambience and the service was wonderful. read more

I was the weird kid who never really liked pizza growing up. Even still, I'm pretty choosy about which ones I'll eat. Mellow Mushroom is probably at the top of my list for favorite "chain" pizza here in Florida. This location is great. A large, colorful and clean dining room invites you in as soon as you arrive. Service has always been pretty consistently good. Though sometimes pizzas can take awhile. When I tell you they are worth the wait...believe me! My favorites are the Holy Shiitake, Super Pepp, Great White, Kosmic Karma and the Buffalo Chicken (without Bacon). They have a great happy hour where all draft beers are $4.20. We love stopping in and sharing a pie or two. read more

First time trying the Mellow Mushroom and will certainly be returning! Ordered the Maui Wowie and it is truly amazing! Can't go wrong, highly recommend! read more

Our experience was great BUT I thought servers with long hair had to put it up so it doesn't get in the food etc. she was verbal and her description of everything and guided us perfectly but once I saw the hair was down, I could not get past it. She did touch her hair. She did wash her hands, but it was waist length. There was also another server that had the hair down past her shoulders as well. read more

Really great experience. Our server was extremely attentive and sweet. The place appears clean and well maintained. The pizza was really good--the crust was amazing! The steak sub was good, but could have used a sauce of some sort. Overall, I'd definitely recommend this location. read more

Good pizza, different from your ordinary slice, with unique flavors. It seems a bit pricey, but the taste makes it worth it. Overall good experience read more

Delicious food, great service! If you like pizza and you're in the mt Dora area you need to give them a try! The pacific rim is my personal favorite but you really can't go wrong with anything they have to offer. They have such a fun vibe! read more

I came into Mellow Mushroom, I saw the Mighty Meaty Personal pizza and I ordered it and ate some on the way home. Menu is straightforward, service was courteous and fast, and the food was delicious. There was sit down dining or the bar plus an area to wait while my pizza was being prepared. read more

So I'm not a pizza lover but mellow mushroom has my heart and my wallet. I have not been here one time and not gotten a pizza I didn't love! My husband and I come here all the time, and I brought my dad too who is not a big pizza fan either and he loved it. My most recent obsession is their Caesar salad pizza. It's all of your salad and pasta/pizza dreams in one dish. Service is usually great, and it's never too busy so it's a nice reprieve if you wanted to eat somewhere not too crowded. Also their music selection is top notch. Whoever has the aux on Thursdays kills it with the throwbacks! read more

This was our first time dining at Mellow Mushroom. We went around 430/5pm on a weekday. We got the Pretzel Bites as an appetizer because we had a coupon for signing up for their email list. They were good but not pretzels, basically pizza dough balls. Tasty but odd they were called pretzels. Our table got burgers and pizza. Those who got the burgers raved at how filling and juicy they were. The small pizzas had four slices but were very filling. I got the House Special which was basically a fully loaded veggie and meat pizza. It was very tasty and well cooked. The others at the table enjoyed their pizzas as well. We also ordered Red Sangrias which were very flavorful and not just red wine with fruit in it. Overall we enjoyed it and it is a good pizza option in Mount Dora, which has some bad and great options around town. Parking was very spotty and I have no idea how they could have space for everyone of the place was full. One side of the lot is for Compact cars but had people parking in the middle of two spaces. We did see people park at the bank next door for overflow. read more

Nice beer selection with a great food selection with loads of options. We had very friendly service and the atmosphere is always great.

We shared a small great white & a small mushroom pizza, extra crispy bottom for both. Soooo good! The flavor was delicious with both pizzas. I recommend this pizza place to everyone. Service was also very good! If you're going to this location use your google map, the in and out can be tricky. read more

We tried to order a Pizza and the first one they made was Totally Wrong. So they made another one and it was worse and this was after spending almost $32! We've had good Pizza from here before but this time wasn't a good experience read more

We drive there from the Villages for Pizza. Good service and we can take our dog. I normally order gluten free crust for the toppings. read more

Good food taste. Very nice service and great food it has gotten better.. I would go back

I am very happy to say that after reviewing as an Elite Yelper for 7 years, this is the first time I have changed my review from 1 Star to 5 Stars! Mellow Mushroom went through a complete renovation that obviously did not just update the interior and exterior of this location, but must have had a complete overhaul of the management and staff. We live very close and have visited 3 times now and every time the staff are engaging, pleasant, and all around great servers. We have 5 different pizza places in the area we go to and the Mellow Mushroom is now at the top of that list! Thanks for showing it can be done! read more

Pros: cute atmosphere in the bar area, the meat and shiitake mushroom pizzas had great flavor and the meat pizza was piled nicely with meats, nice attentive waitress Cons: took an hour for our two small sized pizzas to come out (it wasn't super busy), the house margaritas were pretty weak, the shiitake pizza was crust-heavy (compared to the meat, even though we both got classic crust) which made it overpriced n my opinion. This location isn't local to me so I don't think I'll visit it again but there is a location near me that I would visit again because the pizza was good! read more

I stopped in early afternoon for a late lunch. The restaurant was mostly empty but the staff was really welcoming and accommodating. After being seated my server Tom immediately engaged me to take my drink order and provide me with silverware and a menu. I opted for a small mighty meat pizza minus the bacon. This is a beautiful restaurant, very clean and free of any clutter and I loved the open air kitchen. During my short wait for my pizza I was checked on by no less than three members of the staff, all friendly and sincere in making sure there wasn't anything I needed. My pizza arrived and served up by another server ensuring I received it hot from the oven, Tom immediately followed up and dropped off a few packets of red pepper flakes and parmesan cheese and refilled my drink. I've only eaten at one other Mellow Mushroom location and although it too was a pleasant experience this one trumped it easily. My small pizza was a ten inch pizza sliced into four slices which was plenty for one person, even though I had missed lunch and only had a banana earlier in the day there was absolutely enough for me and more. I loved the crispy chewy crust and the toppings were delicious, I did find the sauce a little bland but it's by no means was a deal breaker I think a little salt would have cured it but I didn't ask and there are no condiments on the tables. Over-all it was a good experience with exceptional service I definitely will consider this place again when in the area... read more

5 of us went to this location on Saturday evening Dec 27. We've been many times and usually love the experience. Not this time. We ordered 5 smash burgers- honestly thinking it would be quicker than the pizza, as it usually takes about 30 minutes and it was a Saturday night at 6pm. We waited. After 1 hour we asked our waitress where our food was, saying she would check - Then another 30 minutes passed- Still checking. The table behind us ordered a pizza for 2 people and they were still waiting. 1.5 hours now and not even a manager has come over to explain or offer an apology. Honestly they really didn't seem to care that we were still.waiting. We had to get up and physically find the manager as the staff stopped making eye contact. The 2 hour mark. The Manager finally appeared and said "We dropped the ball, I'll bring over some coupons". Really? . Umm too little too late. We said No, thanks, this is our final visit here. She then said "let me see what I can do about your bill" Finally the burgers came - overcooked and falling apart but we ate them, as we were starving. What a disaster this was! $160 bill came and no sign of the manager. We did not expect a free meal but maybe something to take the sting out of this very long, very disappointing experience. Even a " Hey let me fix this" But Nothing. We paid, gave Peggy a $30 tip as it wasn't her fault, ($190 now) , and resolve to never return. Disaster of an experience. Do not eat here if you want to eat the food you order in a reasonable amount of time. read more

Came here for the first time with my lady and everything looked amazed even when the brought the pizza, I ate a slice and it was good. I go for the second and find a white long strand of hair in my pizza, thought it was cheese and it was definitely not cheese. It was indeed a hair. Made me want to throw up with how disgusted I was. They did not charge me but it doesn't fix my experience here. They aren't clean it seems so I would never come again nor recommend this specific location. read more

Never received our Pizza. I called the restaurant and spoke to the manager at the time, and the manager said that they use Door Dash and so can't take responsibility for the lack of delivery. The manager said that they did not use store employees for delivery due to liability constraints. I also spoke with the Door Dash person who said that they delivered our 'chicken' which of course we didn't even order and did not receive. Manager said a refund of $40 would be forthcoming to my credit card but that did not happen. Left a subsequent phone message for the manager and never received a return call. We are going on 3 months since the expected refund and still no phone call or refund. read more

Waited 30 minutes and were not even greeted at the door. No host(ess) seen. Servers all ignored us. Everyone in front of us in line had already walked out. The place is trash. read more

Definitely the best pizza in the Mt Dora area!!!! The employees are great so I can't say enough about the service.

Fun vibe, delicious food. Love the gluten free pizza options - especially with the white pizza!

Visiting my mom from Maine and was excited to find a pizza place with vegan cheese!!! I ordered the Greek salad with no feta, sub vegan cheese (no extra charge which was nice!!). Best salad I've had in a long time. I ordered the shiitake pizza but was told shortly after that they fry the mushrooms in butter so they just gave me extra reg mushrooms. Pizza was very delicious. The crust typically has parm cheese and butter so make sure you say vegan crust... My daughter and mom had the parm pretzel bites and a chicken pizza both of which they said was great. Will be back for sure, wish you had a location closer to Maine!! read more

Great vegan pizzas options. Price is on the higher end but not many restaurants offer a vegan option.

This was my first time eating at this Mellow Mushroom location and it was a really good experience. The decor is funky and unique. When I checked into Yelp it gave me a coupon for a free pretzel bite with beer cheese which was AWESOME! We had never tried them before and they were covered in parmesan and had great beer cheese. Our waitress was friendly and fast. We had the peach cocktail and the one with bourbon and a cherry, both were delicious! We ordered a medium holy shittake and a small merry prankster. The holy shittake is my favorite pizza and it hit the spot. The sausage on the other pizza was rich and flavorful. The only downside is that it's a little pricey and for 2 cocktails and 2 pizzas we paid almost $60. We will definitely eat here again. Rating from an F to an A+++ I rate it an A+. read more

Myself and family had lunch back in Nov 2023. Food and service were awesome enjoyed every bit of it. Definitely A+

The BEST PIZZA great fresh ingredients. Service is amazing friendly family environment. Very happy. Best in town hands down. Drove from The Villages it was 100% worth it. The pizzerias over there are always crowded service is poor and ingredients quality its next to what you get on a frozen pizza. Definitely coming back. read more

First visit after new owners. Pizza was great, service was great, place was pretty busy. A little pricey ($25 for a large two topping) but not overpriced. Many craft beers on tap, bartender said owners like to have local brews. Only big negative for me is the lack of 0 alcoholic beers. They only had Sam Adams Just the Haze, a very citrusy brew and not so great with pizza. With so many great 0 alcohol beers (a fast growing market) it won h be nice to see some next tine we go. read more

Had a great overall experience. Our server was awesome and very knowledgeable about the menu and gluten free options available. We were able to get the gluten free pretzel bites at the happy hour rate (no extra charge because they were gf) which was amazing. The dough has a great flavor as well. We also ordered two gf pizzas which were also amazing! UPDATE: Pretzel bites were SO good, we went back two days later. Different waitstaff. Unfortunately we found out that our former server was not as knowledgeable as we thought and in fact MM does not have gluten free pretzel bites. She confused vegan and gluten free and gave us the regular bites, vegan. The team on tonight was very apologetic and the manager explained the situation to us. Luckily none of us got sick and I assume that is because they make their dough fresh in house. read more

For pickup I'm giving this a 1 star!!! We were told 30 minutes to pick up our order. We sat for over an hour!! they gave our pizza to someone else and the people brought it back .... so they had to cook a new one. Ridiculous. I sat and watched people come and go to get their orders. Is their food good .....yes it is. If you want to sit an hour and a half for it. We went here to eat inside....and again had to wait over an hour. So it doesn't matter whether you eat in or out. Good luck. read more

So glad to see this restaurant reopen! The food is great, the service is fantastic (hats off to Patrick) and the atmosphere is groovy . Our family had a blast and only waited 30 mins for a party of 10 - on a Saturday evening! Can't wait to go back for more food and fun read more

I'm really surprised by the low Yelp score for this location. I've ordered take out from this location twice, with both times being a good experience. The only con I could possibly think of is more places to sit while waiting but that is definitely not a big deal. Staff were friendly and everything was clean. Food was hot and tasty. read more

The server was on point. The pizza is always a pleaser. I love all the different flavors they offer. The only downside to this location was the ambiance. They need to make it more inviting. read more

We love that this place knows food allergies. Gluten free crust with vegan cheese that melts well. Their bbq chicken pizza is amazing. We've eaten at MM here and a few others in Florida every time we visit. The people are friendly and the decorations are fun. They also have interesting and fun specialty drinks. Wish these were all over the US! read more

I don't have a Mellow Mushroom near me so, when I saw they built this one, I got excited. I pass by it often. Well we stopped by on Sunday to see what all the hype is about. We were greeted and seated immediately. Our server was new but awesome! We started with the Munchies-10 Twice Baked wings $11 (5 Thai Chili and 5 Jerk Sauce). These did not disappoint. They were crispy, tender, & the sauce was good! I like the Jerk the best. It is a jerk bbq sauce not a rub. It was spicy but tolerable. We decided to get the "House Special" $21 med pizza (6 slices) which includes pepperoni, hamburger meat, bacon, tomato(slices), onions, olives, on a thin crust. The pizza was really good and fresh!! My son got the kids meal cheese pizza $6 which includes a drink and apples (sub broccoli, or veggies). My son said it wasn't that good. There is a $1 up-charge to sub chips which annoyed me. Oh yea I had the $3 Sunday Special Red Sangaria. It taste like it came out the bottle. read more

I've been a fan of Mellow Mushroom for years, but haven't visited in quite some time since the West Palm Beach location closed. My daughter, mother and I visited for a late lunch. We were greeted upon entry and seated almost immediately. The air vent was leaking condensation so we alerted the hostess and she wiped down the seats. We shifted our positions to avoid being disturbed by the dripping water. Our server was Brooke. She was extremely friendly and went out of her way to get information for us regarding the beer I had questions about. My mother ordered red sangria and I opted for the Persimmon Hollow blood orange beer that was on a $3 special after enjoying the sample. Yummy! We started with the pretzel bites and WOW, these were delish! If you enjoy their pizza crust, envision this delicious fluffiness with butter, Parmesan and a hot cheese dip. Oh yeah.... We followed up our bites with two pizzas. My mom and I shared a large house special and my daughter ordered a small pacific rim. There was a mixup with my daughter's pie so Brooke brought out a ham and pineapple one for her to munch on until the one she ordered was ready. I was impressed by her stellar customer service and ability to identify and do her best to rectify the issue. Our food was served hot and everything was truly scrumptious. We brought leftovers home and left with extremely content bellies. I will definitely return when in town again and I hope Brooke is on shift because she's an excellent server. read more

When Mellow Mushroom is good, it's a really good meal out (I've been to 5 or 6 different locations). But, this location is so inconsistent it is hard to call it that regularly. The pizza has been OK - most of the time. But, I've had undercooked pizza on more than 1 occasion, sloppy toppings, short on cheese to where I can see the dough under it, and just poor attention to details. It seems to happen whether they are busy or slow. Service is OK, but mostly meh. I think they try and want to give good service, but this place just seems mismanaged. No one is rude, but the place seems to lack oversight and that feeling that someone is watching making sure they go 100%, rather than at just 80% effort. I have been here both weeknights and weekend nights and I have never seen the General Manager, so maybe that is the issue. Overall, the service can be weird and can require the customer to put in the extra effort - if you call in order, sometimes you have to go pay at the bar - why? When your pizza is ready, you might have to go ask the pizza station yourself if that is your pizza just sitting there - why? If you have a bad experience and get "mellow bucks" (their version of a gift certification) to come back again, you actually will be inconvenienced when trying to use them because they have to track down a manager while you wait so you can even use them (who is also a server and busy helping tables) - why? If you order a beer you might have have to remind the server that it is sitting over at the bar ready for them to bring it to you - why? So many why's. It just isn't the experience you should get when you are paying $25 for a pizza. With that said, when the pizza is good - it's really good. And all of the employees are for the most part friendly. They are young, and just seem to need some guidance. But, if they want to charge a premium for a dine-out pizza experience, they need to offer something at least close to a premium service experience to match their prices. read more
