We had a groupon for the Mellow Mushroom and I was eager to try it. I was skeptical because of all the mixed reviews but overall we had a good experience.
We started by splitting a Caesar. The croutons were great. Definitely homemade. The dressing was great too, but unfortunately there wasn't enough of it. Very dry salad.
The pizza is very good. Doesn't make it in my top 5 of pizza in the valley, but tasty nonetheless. We had the kosmic karma. Very good combination of ingredients, although the toppings are a little sparse. The crust is very good! I LOVE it when pizza crusts are kicked up. Otherwise I usually don't eat the crust. This crust is buttery, soft, and a little sweet.
The beer... The good news is they have a wonderful beer selection with many seasonal specials. It was very hard to decide with all the tasty varieties.
The bad news is how overpriced the beer is. My husband and I had 2 large beers a piece and our beer alone cost $28! Our food was less than that! They should consider selling pitchers. Its places like this that make me miss Uncle Sam's where you can get good pizza and $4 premium pitchers.
The service was great. We sat in a booth in the bar and had 2 servers tag team our table. Both were super friendly and fast.
Sigh. I really do like the pizza but I will think I will only order takeout and buy a six pack of seasonal brew and enjoy my beer and pizza at home.
