| - I'm a fan of mellow mushroom so I was very stoked to find out they had a location closer to my house at city north, and living in the valley for 15 years I had never actually been to city north so I figured two birds, one stone. First impressions: Beautiful. The inside is decorated...I don't want to use the word tactfully or elegantly, I think maybe the word is....busy? Lots of stuff and musical memorabilia around the place which is actually really cool looking, albeit slightly kitsch, but who cares, it is a pizza joint. The place was a ghost town though. And it's not like I went during off hours. Saturday during the day, during the elite eight. This place has a full bar and tv's all over the place and I can't have seen more than 7 people there. The food itself was delicious, got a Mediterranean pizza and a ceasar salad pizza. Although our waiter was very friendly and gave us semi-decent beer recommendations, for a place that had maybe 7 or 8 people dining, the wait time was ridiculous at times. Took way too long to get us our check and waters. This place could be cool, but the emptiness is just disconcerting and thus the ambiance is affected. Some of that may be out of their control, but regardless it was still kind of creepy. I will be back for sure, I love mellow mushroom and the close proximity is great, but I hope the restaurant steps up their game a bit with service and maybe reaches out to the community a little bit more to help fill the place. Maybe a promotion or two will get the doors open.
