| - When you talk about pizza you have to talk about 2 categories: down & dirty pizzaria style and fancy pants pizza restaurant style. Mellow Mushroom takes a swing at the latter category and knocks it completely out of the park.
We were here on a Saturday for lunch and had no trouble getting seated (although we might haveif we wanted to wait for the patio). We immediately perused the impressive beer list and settled on a pitcher of Highland Gaelic. The bf ordered some garlic cheese bread while we decided on pizzas and for this I am indebted to him. So cheesy, so garlic-y, so delicious (esp. once we added red pepper flake that was sitting on the table). You must eat it, okay?
I went with the Philosopher's Pie (steak, portabellos, artichoke hearts, kalamata olives, provolone, feta & mozzarella on oil & garlic sauce). The mushroom slices were large and firm and the brine from the hearts and olives was in no way overwhelming. At one point while eating my eyes may have rolled back in my head in delight, just maybe. He went with the house special sans olives (pepperoni, sausage, ground beef, onions, green peppers mushrooms, roma tomatoes, ham, bacon and extra cheese). As far as supreme pizza combos go this is apparently as supreme as they get.
We left feeling OH SO fat & sassy and with half of each pie in a box, so head somewhere else if you are just a bit peckish...unless you want to eat leftovers for the next 2 days. I'd just like to throw in here at the end that there was a bit of a discrepancy in the sturdiness of their supplies. I swooned over the heavy pizza servers and thick glass pitchers but those had to have been the saddest metal forks I have ever seen. Oh well, had the fork failed me I would have Jersey folded that baby up because I wasnt missing out on a bite.
