| - Yay, Mellow Mushroom is back!
Eating here is a really fun experience. This one is actually a bit more fancy on the inside than the Asheville or Boone locations, but it's in a fancy part of town. Fancy other than the mushrooms growing out of the booths and the bus parked right inside, with booths and names scratched in the paint.
The menu is downright chatty and kind of makes me laugh. It's got starters - oh, excuse me, "munchies", salads, hoagies, and of course pizzas and calzones. All of which are customizable. Just choose a base, a sauce, cheese, veggies, and protein. And some of the protein is not animal based for the vegetarian crowd. There are also several sauces to choose from, not just your standard red sauce. You can also choose from pesto, olive oil and garlic, or barbecue.
The quality of the ingredients is the best part. I've never had anything from Mellow Mushroom in any city that wasn't delicious. I'm not into fancy pizzas so I always just go for the standard pepperoni and olives. The cheesy bread is magic, and the spinach and artichoke dip is creamy and comes with crostini for dipping. I don't know exactly what kind of bread they use but it's really good.
They also feature an extensive beer list to go along with their extensive list of ingredients. Nothing goes with pizza like beer! Get your beer and pizza (or calzone, or salad, or hoagie) at Mellow Mushroom and you won't be sorry!
