My husband and I went to Mellow Mushroom and decided to sit at the bar, and we're so glad we did! Our bartender, Victor, was awesome -- friendly, attentive, and full of great suggestions for both food and drinks. Even though the bar was busy, he made sure we were always taken care of. I ordered the White Rabbit pizza on thin crust, and it was absolutely delicious -- flavorful, crispy, and cooked perfectly. I paired it with a peach margarita, which was refreshing and just the right balance of sweet and tart. My husband enjoyed his amaretto sour and pizza as well, and we shared an order of pizza rolls, which were a fun and tasty appetizer. Overall, we had a great experience. The food, drinks, and service were all excellent -- we'll definitely be back! read more

On a rainy Saturday night I stopped by this Mellow Mushroom in Ocala. There are some great things going here. There is a full bar, wine options, great craft beer and great service. The place stayed packed with folks still coming and going. There was a snafoo with our pizza, but the beer was great and we weren't too hungry, so not harm no foul. The pizza was fresh with great ingredients so there is that. Had a great time here and would return. read more

Quite a nice place. I enjoyed watching the bartender mixing drinks. He has an eye for pouring and mixing drinks. I was impressed by his skills!! I didn't even order a drink and left him a tip just for watching. Then I ordered a Philly cheese steak calzone!! Oh my wow!! I suggest the creamy pesto sauce for dipping. That sauce is amazing!!! read more

I was visiting my son and his fiancé in Ocala and the craving hit for Mellow Mushroom's cheesy bread. So we hopped in the car and headed there! There's a big parking lot right nearby so parking was easy. We were seated immediately and our server, Caedmon, was super attentive. We ordered two orders of cheesy bread (a bit of overkill, but leftovers are perfect), a house pizza, some wings, a small house salad, and a small white rabbit pizza. Drink-wise we had sweet teas and one lavender groove lemonade which was amazing and refreshing! The food was all delicious- we love the pizzas with the fresh ingredients! Caedmon was the best- we told him if there were mushrooms on one of the pizzas, there would be tears; he literally told the team in the back that it was "baby shampoo" situation! Hilarious! read more

Normally great food. I ordered 5 boneless wings with parm/garlic seasoning. I received what looked like nuggets. They were so small and not worth $9.00. They were delivered or I would have asked why? My white pizza was missing garlic. It was mostly all cheese. Very little flavor. I have ordered from MM a lot and this time was surprised and disappointed. read more

Fast food burger, shake, fries place--just like it says on the sign. Uses fresher vegetables on the burgers.

Walking into Mellow Mushroom we were greeted by a sweet hostess who asked if we wanted to sit outside, inside at a table or at the bar. The outside seemed very comfortable but we decided to go in and eat at a table and relax comfortably. This was a party of three for lunch and we were eating light. The first thing that I took not of was the decor! It was so relaxed and I guess you can call it eclectic or Hippie-ish with its vibrant colors and very playful whimsical theme. Then we sat and ordered two medium pies to share and they were both wonderfully addicting to me. The pepperoni was typical of a pepperoni pizza a little thicker than New York style but delicious and the other we ordered was my favorite indeed. This was called Holy Shiitake"olive oil and garlic base, roasted shiitake, portobello mushrooms, caramelized onions, mozzarella, aged white cheddar, fresh chives, garlic aioli, and black truffle oil. Soooo delicious honestly! Mellow Mushroom has so much to offer from pizzas of various kinds including build your own. They also have calzones, wings, salads, burgers & hoagies, plant based options and certified Gluten free pizza and brownie! Not to forget munchies if you don't prefer a meal ! If you haven't stopped picky eaters and are in need of variety I think we have the spot right here. If you haven't stopped by please do and enjoy a walk around the quaint fun little downtown Ocala it's a very nice place to be! read more

Great food and service . Fun atmosphere. Service is great . Downfall the convenience of parking lot across the street cost us $18 to park . We had driven around for 1/2 hour trying to find a parking spot . No other options wereavailable. read more

This place is the worst when it comes to service have tried the place two or three times every time they tell you your wait going to be X number minutes.... Then it ends up being double or they take a 30 pizza order over the phone and don't even bother to tell people that their wait time has increased and is going to be over an hour which is just very poor service and poor management. You say anything to the manager and they just look at you like your speaking a foreign language! Several groups walked out last weekend after finding out that the wait time wasn't communicated! Very bad service even with good pizza doesn't make it a good experience! read more

I've been to the mellow mushroom in Delray Beach multiple times, the locations in Orlando and even Boone, North Carolina. We LOVE mellow mushroom! Always get the two Same pizzas, the Maui Wowi and the Kosmic karma. I'm not sure what it is about this location, but it is the absolute worst and every time we get pizza here it's awful ! Dry, hardly any toppings and even the dough seems off. read more

I came here for dinner while visiting my niece in Ocala. The place is super on brand and trippy. The menu has something for everyone. The pizza was okay. I found it too doughy even though I asked for it really crispy. It really didn't hit the spot for me but I will say the place was packed. I wouldn't go back though. read more

Billy the bartender will keep you from drying out... (try the texas red on tap) this is such a cool spot, the pie is delish. the decorating includes a beautifully carved horse bench just inside the front door and live edge tables scattered around. one of those garage doors that allows seating at the bar while out on the patio. you'll like it, great vibe-great food read more

Ordered the holy shiitake pie which was phenomenal. Only drawback was that the sauce was overly sweet which did not mesh well in my opinion, but quite literally that was the only downside of this pie. The other pie was a butter chicken pie special and was so disgusting that with two people we could only finish one slice. The chicken tasted like the precooked meat you buy in a bag and honestly just talking about this pie makes me lose my appetite all over again. Will definitely be more cautious when ordering their specialty pies again read more

Mellow Mushroom Ocala - Holy Shiitake Pie - Pizza Near Me - Ocala, Florida

A very cool and popular spot here in Ocala! We have one close to our place in Central Florida, so the name rung a bell. We decided to eat here last minute because the game was on. Saturday night and it was crowded. Our wait, however, was less than 15 minutes when expected to be 45-hour. We sat at the bar, looking to get a drink but the bar tender only served ONE of our drinks until it was time to head to our table. We cashed out. Our server was really nice but service was slow. We shared a calzone and the wings. The calzone was nothing to talk about (other than how huge it was), but the wings were the star of the show. Mild heat, garlic parmesan -- and lots of it! Finally got to try their Moscow Mule and it was a bit on the sweeter side. I don't think we'd return to the chain unless it was in Ocala. The location is in a good spot downtown. read more

What a nice after school treat! We arrived about 3pm, were seated quickly and on the outdoor patio. The waitress came over very quickly & took our drink order. We then ordered our pizza. We got a large. The crust is yummy! Overall we had a great experience and would definitely return. The outdoor patio is dog friendly and there is a parking lot right across the way. Overall the place was clean and we had great food. read more

There was about probably four tables full at the restaurant when we walked in. It took us about 15 minutes to get our pizza which is totally normal however, we did order an appetizer and never got it. Our waiter never acknowledged it until we were halfway done with our pizza and we just asked for it to be canceled. We were never checked up on. We had to wait at least 10 minutes for a box for our food. When we walked in, there was no clean tables. They cleaned off one table for us and the entire time we sat there all the tables around us remained dirty. Our food was great but the service here is absolutely TERRIBLE and that alone is enough to turn anyone away. The table next to us was also upset. read more

Glad to see Mellow Mushroom finally open! Such a fun atmosphere and a great place to eat! Because it is a new place, folks are flocking here and it can cause extended wait times for a table and food! Thank goodness for a full bar! We came on a Saturday afternoon before the dinner rush and were seated immediately. Our server Nathan got our drinks and took our order right away. The small Funky Q Chicken Pizza and the medium Great White Pizza came out about twenty minutes later. The food was good and enough to take home for leftovers! When we got up from the table the entrance was filled with people so it looked like they were gearing up for a busy night! It was nice to see so many people walking around town and the Mellow Mushroom is a great reason for people to come downtown! read more

This location will do so well. If they keep up with the quality freshness and service that they launched with then this will be busy all the time. Fun atmosphere. Great location in DT Ocala. The bar area is wide open to the outside, the kitchen is visible to the restaurant, decor is always great and here is better. Food awesome. Choices lots. Pizza and crust is better than anticipated. I love the Cloud 9 wings. Baked not fried. Fall off the bone. So good. We will be regulars for EVER!!! read more

Absolutely. Marvelous! We sipped Lavender Groove Lemonades which was refreshing. I built my own pizza and it was marvelous. The cheese was melty, the veggies were fresh and aromatic. My partner had the elevated Cobb and merry prankster pizza. The Merry Prankster is a meal in itself. Cool date night place and family oriented. Thursday is karaoke. Staff was attentive, smiles, nice.

This place needs to get it together. Over 45 minute wait in an empty restaurant for a basic pizza. I thought they would have improved from when they 1st opened but apparently not. The food is just ok, prices aren't great, service is horrible. Atmosphere is loud and annoying..The only thing that saves them is their location. I'll never be back. read more

We have loved Mellow Mushroom all over the southeast. Whenever we travel, if there is a Mellow Mushroom, we visit. We have always loved the pizza and the excellent selection of draft beers. We now live a minimum of 60 miles from the nearest Mellow Mushroom, Our visit to the Ocala location (100 miles for us) was our second time to this store. It is convenient to meet relatives that live in Leesburg. The pizza was so very disappointing. We ordered Mighty Meaty (a favorite for us). The crust was very, very thin except for the overly wide and thick rim and there was very little topping. This is the second location we have visited recently with the same issue regarding the crust: paper thin with huge outer crust and barely any topping at all. I don't know if this is a new policy for Mellow or what. It seems strange two different locations in two different cities would both offer an exceptionally sub-par pizza experience compared to the fabulous pizza we have loved over the years. Since it is necessary to pay for parking to visit this location, I'm doubt we will be in any hurry to return. read more

We really enjoyed the crust on our ricotta meatball pizza. The toppings were a bit sparse but it did taste good. Our server was attentive and made sure our drinks were filled. The place is pretty funky. Lots of fun, bright colors and peppy music. read more

We were told 25 min wait. 55 min later, still no table yet they had 3-4 tables that needed to be bussed. When they finally buzzed us, we lost our seats only to be asked if we wanted to sit outside-we had already told them no. Very poorly run restaurant. They allowed people to sit at tables and wait 20-25 min for the rest of their party to order. Would not recommend and will not return. read more

1.5 hour wait after being seated...and no food... ....waitress stopped giving us updates and refills on drinks...tables around us were either also waiting an hour plus for food or trying to cash out with no help in sight...Finally gave up and left. This easily could have been prevented. Kitchen delays happen. Good customer service can make a long wait tolerable. Keep up with drinks...keep updating us on status....maybe throw us an appetizer that could quickly be heated up....but no.. There are so many choices to enjoy a good pizza. Mello Mushroom will not be one we will attempt again... read more

The food was definitely a banger. The mighty meat is something to die for and the service was pretty good. And I definitely liked the ambience with the 1970 feel of it in the place. so all in all good stuff read more

Hadn't been to a Mellow Mushroom in forever! The mushroom soup was surprisingly good, it had almost potato texture to it that might be questionable to some. The pretzels were doughy and hot.The pizza was perfectly thin, wish it had more cheese. My complaint was with the water, it tasted really bad not sure what was wrong with it read more

4/5/25 We went to Mellow Mushroom in Ocala, we got seated around 4:10pm we sat there until about 4:30 until someone came to take our drink order, we actually got our appetizer before our drinks, our server (Brett) came back and said "oh you guys didn't get your drinks?" After we re-told him what our drinks were, we waiting ANOTHER 10-15 mins, at this point we have been here for close to 40 mins with no drinks. Finally our server brings our drinks, I ordered a lemonade but it was severely watered down, I waited again about 10 ish minutes for him to walk back to our table and asks if I could please exchange my lemonade for a sprite? He gets me my sprite and slams it and I mean slams it on the table. I still tell him Thank you, but he just walks away without saying anything. After we finish our Pizza, we sit for about 30 mins waiting for our server to come back so we could get a box and out check, but we got a little impatient and just went to the take out area instead, and the girl working there with curly red hair was 100x more helpful and nicer than our server. We got there around 4:10 and didn't leave until closer to 6:30 ish. AGAIN on 8/9/25 we decided to give Mellow Mushroom a try and we ironically got the same server, and once again our service by him was terrible. It took him 15 minutes to initially come take our drink order and then after that we never saw him again. Three other people took our appetizer, main course and got our boxes. read more

nasty food, nasty manager. terrible experience I've been here 3 times and each time the food was horrible along with the staff. hardly any customers and we waited 20 mins to be seated and another 20 just for our drinks. read more

There are plenty of Mellow Mushrooms where I live, so I was surprised to see Ocala finally got one! So much has changed since I have last been back here. We were seated as as soon as we walked in, it was around 2:30pm on a Saturday. There was a good crowd and it was very very loud. The music was loud and as a result the conversations were also loud so it was hard to hold a conversation without raising your voice a little. I appreciated that they had some mocktails on the menu, I tried a pineapple and tumeric one and it was delicious! I also got the build your own pizza with thin crust. The food came out quickly and our waitress was super nice. I believe her name was Desiree - she was awesome. Mellow Mushroom for me is pretty reliable no matter where it is, so it was a good experience, good food and drinks. I would come back here! read more

Food sucks. Took forever for service don't think I will go back to Ocala restaurant again

Toni Vogel Went there on Monday 9/29 the waiter was extremely rude and disrespectful to our family don't know his name but if we ever go back there and they try to seat us in his area I will get up and walk out he made us feel very un-welcome. We were there to visit our grandchildren which we don't see very often due to family issues so it was suppose to be a great occasion but he destroyed our evening. The manager was great and tried to rectify the situation it did not change the fact that he was rude and disrespectful. We have been to many Mellow Mushroom restaurants in many states and many high end restaurants and have never been treated or made to feel like we should have gone to Burger King. I am very disappointed with the actions of that waiter he should not work with the public. read more

When we lived in GA, Mellow Mushroom was a go to, good atmosphere, fun menu, good food and drinks. Today a friend and I went to the fairly new restaurant here in Ocala and I was pleasantly surprised! Much bigger inside that GA nice covered patio, booths and tables inside. Hostess and servers, helpful and friendly, manager checked in. Good service experience. We both ordered a medium pizza, hers with 2 meats and mine mushrooms. They did have a few lunch specials with slices but we both figured leftovers for the weekend was a good idea! With the exception that I would have liked my crust baked more, I really enjoyed it. Good pizza around here, for my Yankee, Italian taste is a challenge! We're planning on a return trip! read more

Mellow Mushroom Ocala - Happy Customer - Pizza Near Me - Ocala, Florida

I so wanted this to be a great experience but it just wasn't. The hostess was bored and acted like she was taking a test of where to put us when the place was literally empty. We were on of the first customers on a Sunday. We ordered a pizza, the meatball appetizer a burger and fries. The pizza was tasty but two thirds crust with toppings in the very center. The meatball appetizer was really tasty with melty cheese in the middle. Ours son's burger arrived 15 minutes later and they said the first one had been overcooked so they started again but the second one was also way overcooked and the tots were like little rocks. Really disappointing for what could be an awesome hang out. read more
