I enjoyed my recent rip to Mellow Mushroom. My family of 4 went while on vacation recently and I'd wanted to try it. The atmosphere is interesting-a mix of classic rock meets craft beer bar meets college town pizza joint.
The pretzels to start were good-the beer cheese sauce was great. Each of my 2 boys ordered a cheese pizza-one with garlic and olive oil sauce and one with traditional red and each liked theirs. My wife and I split the Mellowterranean-it was good, but the chicken was out of place-could have been a straight veggie pie-but the tzatziki sauce was great for dipping.
Very doughy crust, but good sauce and fresh toppings make it a return spot next time we are near another Mellow Mushroom. Plus, good tap choices and a different vibe than most places.
