Meeting friends for lunch and we were one of the very first people in the restaurant for the day. Greeter said go seat yourself -- we looked around and every single table was covered with crumbs and debris and gunk. Super gross. We asked the greeter to come over and wipe down because we saw him with a rag. He didn't apologize for the dirt. There was still gunk on the table so we went to get napkins and wipe down some more. So that's a one star right there for me. I wish we could have turned around and walked out -- but we were meeting friends . As for the food, ridiculously overpriced and very bland. Pretzel bites were dry and overbaked. Staff are dressed very sloppy. Maybe that's the vibe they're going for, like mellow hippie kind of? OK fine, but everyone in the place looked like a slob. This place is a hard pass. Yuck. read more

The service was horrible from waiter don't remember if his name was Keith or the manager. We waited over 45 minutes for our pizza - and when we asked nicely about - the waiter that he didn't know. We asked well can he go find out. The manager came over apologized because they accidentally put it as a to go order and gave us the pizza free. However the waiter never apologized, never asked if I wanted another drink, water, we had to asked for our bill. Totally ridiculous. He was wearing a 1974 shirt so I don't know if he was mad about that or if his team lost but all I know is that I was just a normal customer who wanted pizza in a restaurant with a drink and not from a box. All I got was a bad attitude. Never again Mellow Mushroom. Only gave the two stars for the manager apologizing and bringing us warmed up pizza for free. The pizza was just okay not horrible and salad came out first. Thankful for the guy that brought out the salads and he was NOT our waiter. read more

Ordered on a Friday at 6pm for a 7pm pickup. Got the store a few min after 7 and was told it was still being made. Time started to tick by with no word. It was clear others were waiting over too. Someone came to ask everyone their names and never came back again. 30min PAST the pickup time and still nothing. Anytime you'd ask the hosts for an update they said they'd check, but then never have anything. Nobody could explain where it even was in the process. Nobody even apologized or even asked if I wanted a drink. Finally got my pizza. 45min PAST the quoted pickup time. I was not at all alone in that wait. First time for me, and likely my last. read more

Food was cold and service was rough. Manager walked away while we were speaking to her and server asked how the food was and walked away while I was responding. Gotta do better MM read more

This is one of our neighborhood favorites. Definitely try and make their reverse happy hour where everything on their apps menu and most drinks are half off. This visit we had their mighty meaty pizza. If you live nearby definitely stop by for their friendly and welcoming vibes! read more

Mellow Mushroom Phoenix - Mighty Meaty - Pizza Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

Mellow Mushroom is a very versatile restaurant with so many delicious menu choices. Although they are known for their special stone pizzas; the hoagies there are top notch! Steak & Cheese has never looked so good! The service here was great as always and the ambience is beautiful! read more

Stopped in to grab a bite to eat. The service was great and the atmosphere was chill. The inside was very clean but did have fruit flies that were bothersome. We ordered the steak sandwich, club sandwich and meatball sandwich. All of the sandwiches lacked a tremendous amount of flavor. The steak sandwich needed a massive amount of salt and pepper. I ended up asking for mayo to add some kind of moisture to the sandwich. The club sandwich was soggy and the meatball sandwich bread to meat ratio was off. When we go to Mellow, we typically only get pizza but wanted to try something different. Boy will we stick to pizza. We'd definitely go back because their pizza is on point but their sandwiches are just not it. read more

Mellow Mushroom Phoenix - Steak & Cheese Hoagie - Pizza Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

Another busy popular place with an interesting menu. We love mushroom pizzas so we had to try their shiitake pie. Wow! It was savory & almost too rich with their signature garlic aioli. We are light eaters so their house salad & small pizza was plenty. Especially with the richness of the pizza - not complaining, just be aware this particular pizza topped with truffle oil will satisfy after two slices. They have a great selection of draft beers, ciders, seltzers, & wine to wash down their many offerings. I picked my usual hazy IPA. Service is friendly & responsive. The Mellow Mushroom has a 60s style but their food is 21st century good. read more

Very slow service, pizza was just ok, $30 for a one topping medium pizza is not it. Do yourself a favor and skip this one. Overpriced and not that good at all read more

The service here is SLOW. Especially from the bartenders- they barely acknowledge you.

I've been a long-time fan of the Mellow Mushroom pizza because it is good - however, the service every time I go is terrible and I will not be going again. For example, I arrived at 5:40pm today (12/11/2024) and placed an initial drink order. That drink didn't come out until 6:38pm. At that time, the others in my party had already eaten half their food whereas I hadn't even the opportunity to order food. Not wanting to get food when my friends had already finished, i held off on ordering anything else and just took the bill with the others. Even though I had placed my drink order during the happy hour window, I was charged non-happy hour prices and service was unavailable to inquire further. Needless to say, my presence and my business feels unvalued and unwanted. I will not go again; there are plenty of other pizza places who are just as good (if not better). Do yourself a favor and go somewhere else. Kind regards. . read more

Haven't been here in awhile so me and family decided to come have some food. And honestly.. what the heck happened to this place. The building looks in disseray. Walked to my table and could see a massive puddle of just standing water by where the servers grab drinks. I saw a manager down there from what I could tell trying to figure out what the issue was. But shouldn't that be checked when you open the store? Anyways. Pizza was alright. A bit undercooked and barley any pepperoni on the pizza. For the price definitely not worth the hype. I probably won't be back. Which is a shame. read more

Our server Jenna was so kind and sweet! It was insanely packed and she was so helpful and explained thoroughly the wait time for each item. She also looked for us when we left because I lost my ring and she found it and returned it! We also ordered a few vegan items and they were perfect, no errors! That's so rare. Absolutely kind and amazing, we'll absolutely go back. This is from the two lesbians and interracial couple you served lol! read more

Delicious House Special hand tossed pizza made with quality ingredients. We skipped the green peppers on this one. MM is super busy. We got our pizza to go. It was a Friday night. Our order took almost an hour. We allowed for the extra time. House Special The Ultimate Mellow: red sauce, mozzarella, topped with pepperoni, Italian sausage, ground beef, honey ham, applewood-smoked bacon, black olives, sliced mushrooms, Roma tomatoes, green peppers, sweet onions and the finishing touch... more mozzarella. And in the same week, we ordered a second House Special pizza minus the green peppers. We are happy with the consistency and quality of MMP. read more

Amazing happy hour! Great food beer and vibes. Bartenders are friendlh im a big fan of the wings and meatballs!

We always love pizza. This restaurant opened a few years ago. It's a very inviting and open space for dining with anyone. Our grandkids like it too. Service has always been attentive and my favorite is the Yukon Gold pizza. I know it doesn't sound good, but it is delicious. It isn't on their regular menu. You have to ask for. Check them out. Happy Valley is the only location we have visited in AZ. When we go back home, we've visited the establishment in Rocky River. read more

Our server, Taylor, was attentive and very nice. Pizza was soggy, bland, and tasteless. I've had good pizza here before so this was hopefully just a bad night. read more

So we stopped in here after a long day at Slide Rock Park! We haven't been since before we had moved away to Cali for a bit. We now live down in Litchfield Park but I don't think there is a location near us. Anyway- we were excited for the laid back vibe- music and we have had a lot of memories at this location in particular in past years lol! Used to love the craft beers! I no longer drink- however my husband still does. :) I'm so sad they got rid of the muffuletta bread appetizer!!!!! It was my favorite and I ordered every single time we went! This was pre-covid. ( I know tons of restaurants had to revamp menus during that time- unfortunately- for me) We did try the pretzels- those were really good and it was a giant portion! I wasn't expecting 6 full pretzels- I was expecting pretzel bits with cheese and mustard to dip. But no- 6 full size homemade using their pizza dough- yum! ( our waiter was cool and hooked us up with a little extra cheese since they didn't have my original appetizer request-) Thank you for that. Then we ordered 3 pizzas- one of them is their OG Potato pizza! Yum!! My husband is in love with this pizza and it is pretty damn good. We were happy they didn't discontinue that one! Ordered a basic cheese and the bbq chicken pizza- we left with plenty of leftovers and everyone was happy after starving from playing at Slide Rock and the Drive back to the city from Sedona. Overall I'd recommend this spot still. They also had some non alcoholic beers- more options than most places I've been to- that was refreshing. My husband enjoyed some of the heavier beers. Cool vibe and nice waiters and some with funny mustaches my boys said. :) read more

A family favorite but this recent visit left a lot to be desired. All of our food was delicious and well prepared. Hubby's pizza was cooked perfectly, same with my burger. The mac and cheese for the kiddies was great as well; they finished it all which is rare for them to completely finish anything. Our server was very friendly but was absent for 90+% of the visit. She only came by to drop off drinks, take our order, and take our payment when we were done. I was left without utensils for the whole visit and ended up using the long toothpick that came with my burger to hold it in place as a makeshift fork for the roasted potatoes side. No one ever came by to check in on us after the food was dropped off. It was not that busy either when we visited for our Sunday afternoon lunch so I'm unsure why we were not checked in on even once. We do not live near this place so visits are going be a rare occurrence. Even with the lackluster service, we will come back as we really do enjoy their food. If a new location ever opens up near where we live in the Arrowhead area, we will definitely visit there instead. read more

I have been taking family and friends here since this location opened. They consistently provide great food, service, and value. Their pizzas have a deliciously soft crust that I have not found anywhere else. Employees display a balance of attentiveness and laid-back vibes that make dining here a wonderful experience. read more

Mellow Mushroom never fails us and today as a family once again we left full and happy. Today we tried the Buffalo chicken pizza and oh man, it was freaking delicious! Crust was perfect and sauce evenly spread out. Lots of chicken. We ordered a medium. It was so filling even with two of us sharing we took a few slices home. The pretzel bites are always a hit, especially with my kids. So good! Service was great as well. read more

Taylor was our server and was very attentive. He somehow knew we had a Groupon before I even went to pay. The Marley pizza was fantastic; it's special but I hope it stays on the menu. Tripp made our pizza, and the guys behind the line rarely get a shout-out, but kudos to Tripp for tossing the pizza; the crust was excellent. read more

This place is my favorite go to on a Friday night after work since it's closer to the office and they have a very lively vibe. Not only are there plenty of food selections, but service is super friendly, very accommodating and also prompt. Great for groups or team events! read more

Yummy, they have lots of vegan and gluten free options. I forgot to take a picture of my pizza before I ate it. But it was very tasty. The gluten free crust is a thinner crust but soft and chewy. They use a vegan cheese that has great flavor. And they have a large selection of toppings . I enjoyed eating here and my kids loved it. They also have SUPER tasty Mock-tails! I had the lavender one and my husband had the pineapple one they were both VERY GOOD! The service was great! Pizza came out fast and fresh! Bathrooms are clean, everything was well kept up with. read more

Joe is a rock star! Despite a hopping patio at lunch, he took care of all his tables with ease. I've been to the Mellow Mushroom in Tempe and the Happy Valley location is just as stellar. I love how they nail down all the small details, even nicely designed menus. They could probably add a few more lunch specials to the menu but there are so many choices anyway, that it doesn't matter a whole lot. Magic Mushroom Soup Bowl: The place is called Mellow Mushroom after all! This is a hearty bowl of soup and as we transition to cooler weather, this soup is just perfect (ask for chili flakes to make it even better!). Truly satisfying. Pepperoni Cheese Bread: A very nice alternative to the pizza (although more caloric than most of the smaller pizzas! Oops.). The garlic bread isn't greasy and the flavor is great. Pleased that it's served with a side of marinara as well. Although on the appetizer section of the menu, it's a meal. 10 Oven-Baked Hot Wings: I have to say that this was a disappointment. I love wings but these were just plain dry. Not juicy or tender. And while I ordered them hot, I didn't like the sauce too much. Live and learn! All in all, the Happy Valley location of Mellow Mushroom retains the brand's spirit. Bonus points for a nice patio and efficient server. read more

I'm obsessed with the buffalo chicken pizza, the BEST. And the wings are amazing too!

The setting of this Mellow Mushroom wasn't as fun/funky as others we've been in, so that was a bit disappointing. Wide variety of specialty pizzas to choose from. Sadly the bottom of our two pizzas were soggy and floppy. read more

I really enjoyed the crust on our pizza, perfect and chewy. I think the sauce and toppings were pretty good for your casual pizza spot. Not the best pizza I've had but also not the worst. Overall good and service was friendly, we didn't experience any delays on a Friday night. read more

Mellow Mushroom Phoenix - Médium pepperoni. Pretty good - Pizza Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

Great place to visit while traveling through North Phoenix. If you're hankering for unique pies, pints and classic rock then this YOUR place for dinner. We ordered a large great white and a small bbq.. In hindsight, we should switched the sizes around with the BBQ being the large. It was that delicious. Great White (Olive oil and garlic base, layered with mozzarella, provolone, seasoned ricotta, roasted tomatoes, crumbled feta cheese, fresh Roma tomatoes and sweet onions) BBQ (Mozzarella cheese, roasted pork tossed in house-made BBQ sauce, roasted mild poblano peppers and topped with chives and sweet Peppadew peppers) Overall we were completely satisfied. We'll definitely come back on our next visit to Phoenix. - Plenty of parking. - A bit on the expensive side. read more

Came here with the kids. Great place for kids and the whole family. Easy with large groups and good for loud kids. Our kids (and my wife and I) love the pretzels. Beer cheese is a great add. Pizza is always solid as they have some great recipes for toppings. Server was on top of refills and helpful with recommendations. Definitely suggest if you are looking for something different with the family. read more

We won't be back here. We went on a Friday night & couldn't hear each other talk at the table from the overly ambient loudness. They need to invest in some serious sound dampening. Recently talked to others who said they stopped going because it's just way too loud. Server was nice, iceberg lettuce dish was nice. But we ate as fast as possible and left. Won't be back. read more

I had heard a lot about this restaurant a lot of good things I was not impressed our server was awesome had the spinach dip it was so had the pretzels they were very small and we had to pay extra for beer cheese never heard of that before had meatballs very dry. Had wedge salad which was good but how hard is that to make It took awhile to get food because it was happy hour .. won't be back read more

Came here around lunch time, ordered the garlic wings and gluten free pizza. Both terrible. The cheese didn't stick to the pizza, the flavor was terrible. The wings were small and so dried out. It's overpriced and honestly not worth it if it were free. I usually take home food, I left it, it was that bad. read more

Go here. Best pizza (try the Pacific Rim and the Thai Dye) and the pretzel bites with beer cheese is so good. Use the cheese for your crust! The restaurant is always busy but they have text service so you can wait in your car. It can get loud because they have a huge bar but they usually sit families with kids on the other side of the restaurant. They also have outside seating! Our go to pizza place! read more
