| - Mellow isn't the best pizza in town, but if you're looking for some decent pizza choices in a "sit-down" atmosphere then you really can't go wrong. Kind of an oddball location for Ballantyne Commons, but seems to be flourishing rather well.
This placed is slammed from being in the "burbs." Venture in on a Friday evening or any mealtime hour on the weekend and....well, let's just say that you'll have fun holding your pager whilst waiting for your table to clear.
Not too impressed with their pizza. The mega veggie and white pizza are really flavorful but every time I've been, you have to "fork and knife" the pie. A little too flimsy to hold and very, very, very, very greasy. I can appreciate a good fork and knife pie, but typically when its going to be Chicago style.
Great beer choices. Love that they have some great micro, craft and macro brews on draught. The bar is perfect to squeeze into if you're looking to grab a quick meal and brew with your wife, buddy or if you're flying solo.
The place is decorated to the gills in vibrant hippy art. If you're into that....you might as well fill out an application.
Service is always friendly and fast. Never had any problems or negative experiences in the few times I've been.
Definitely order the pretzels (pizza dough inspired). They are TO DIE FOR.
Also, the spinach artichoke dip is the best my wife and I have ever had.
Caprese is always a standard choice.
If you're headed there for pizza, you really can't go wrong with any choices. Just heed my previous comment. If you choose not to fork and knife your slice, you'll probably end up wearing it.
Definitely worth a try if you haven't had the Mellow experience yet.
