| - My bestie recently bought a Jeep and wanted to go for a mini roadtrip, so we headed up to Happy Valley. We hit up Wal-Mart, because that one's the best one, I think, in Phoenix, then Petco. We were hungry, and I wanted a salad, so the gal at Petco recommended the Mellow Mushroom.
Dang!
Excellent ambience, customer service, music, atmosphere. We were only ordering to go, but I think we'll definitely be back to sit and stay awhile. The guy that greeted us at the door was upbeat and helpful. He led us to the perky gal with glasses and an updo at the to-go station. We ended up getting salads and a pizza, because it all looked so good. I got a small Greek salad. So much ham and sprouts! Wow! When we got home, I dumped it on one of my big oblong plates, and it filled up the whole stinkin' thing. We ordered the Holy Shiitake pie--omg amazing. The smell of garlic wafted through my whole house as the dog salivated (from a respectful distance). The pizza was covered with shiitake, button, and Portobello mushrooms, plus caramelized onions, mozzarella, and Montamore cheeses. Downright decadent, right? But that's not all. The pie is drizzeled with garlic aioli and black truffle oil. Seriously? Truffle oil? Goodness gracious alive.
Luckily, there was no sucking of face scheduled for that evening, because the garlic breath just would. not. die. But it was a small price to pay for a top notch meal.
