| - This Mellow Mushroom typically provides a faster service than the usual Mellow Mushroom thanks to it being uptown with people usually only on an hour break to stop-in, grab a salad or pizza and go back. My typical visit to this location is during the lunch hour, so this is a good thing; though if the place is very busy, the kitchen slows down, but that is expected. Diners can be seated indoors and out or can opt to seat yourself at the bar. This location offers daily lunch specials and discounts to nearby businesses (i.e. Duke Energy, Wells Fargo, etc.) on certain days. This location also has a stamp card that offers a free meal after 8-10 visits. Generally, service at this location is good; if mistakes happen, they will make another pizza/salad or reduce your bill.
The pizzas are fantastic, no question. The sourdough like bread with a strong tomato sauce has a unique taste no other pizza place I've been to has replicated. Though simple pizzas can be ordered, their menu features signature pizzas that have chicken, pesto, and a lot of other nontraditional toppings... and of course various types mushrooms. The only negative is that the build-your-own pizza can be most expensive, so its best to order the signatures, if you see one you like (I typically get the Mighty Meaty). Please note that they will also add Parmesan cheese on top of all their pizzas. I don't order salads, but I have been told by friends that they are good too.
They serve Coke products at this location. Their sweet tea is generally water-down bad, so skip it. Full bar and a good selection of beers on tap.
The style of the place is not as fancy as other locations, slightly spartan. Lots of televisions around the bar area and around the restaurant. Free Wi-Fi, when it allows you to connect. Price is going to be higher than average, but worth it. Overall give it four out of five; it is one of the better Mellow Mushroom around. Enjoy!
