| - I'm surprised by the lower overall rating of 3.5 stars for Mellow Mushroom. I suppose everyone has a different experiences and expectations. In my three visits to Mellow Mushroom, I've always enjoyed a clean restaurant, friendly service, and unique pizza flavor combinations.
My most recent visit found me dining with my two sons. Each of us ordered our own 10" pizza (we can never agree on 1 or 2 selections between us). My oldest ordered the "Pacific Rim," my youngest a plain cheese (there's one in every crowd), and I ordered a pepperoni, mushroom, sausage, and black olive for myself.
The "Pacific Rim" comes with red sauce base with mozzarella, ham, bacon, caramelized onions, pineapple and jalapeƱos. I don't know what it is with that kid and pineapple on pizza (shades of his mother, I guess) but I have to admit that I tried half of a piece and it was really delicious. I did not try the cheese that my youngest ordered, but the pepperoni, mushroom, sausage, and black olive (which I would consider a more standard, conventional pizza) that I ordered for myself was also really good. Chewy crust, robust sauce, a plethora of toppings... For a dine-in pizza chain I don't know where you can get better.
A variety of other items are also available on their menu from appetizers to salads; from calzones to sandwiches; they even have desserts. While I have not personally tried any of these other offerings just yet, I'm definitely considering a calzone on my next visit.
After three visits I'm satisfied that Mellow Mushroom is as consistent as they come. They've made my list of great little stops in Rocky River.
