| - I've been wanting to try this place forever and finally got out to give it a whirl. We walked in and were able to get a table pretty quickly. Everything was clean and decorated funky - in a good way. Our server was prompt and really friendly, one of the best servers I've had recently.
There were a ton of menu options, but pizza was definitely on the list of things to try. At first I was a little disappointed because they don't offer any 'run-of-the-mill' options and didn't list anything about building your own pizza. So, if you're expecting a cheese pizza, pepperoni or sausage, or anything not loaded with other ingredients, this may not be the place for you. All the pizza options have LOTS of ingredients piled on, and that's not necessarily a bad thing if you don't want anything more traditional.
I went for one with a red sauce, I don't even remember the name. It wasn't bad, is was decent. They definitely took care in the ingredients and the dough, but there was way too much cheese and it made it greasy. Overall, I wasn't that impressed. Maybe I was expecting a little bit more.
My friend got a calzone and he was not happy with it at all. I did try a bite and didn't like it either. The dough tasted sweet and was more of a cardboard texture. It was definitely not like a normal calzone you would get at an Italian joint.
I might go back to try their sandwiches or hoagies, but I wouldn't go for the pizza and Mellow is definitely not on my list of places to return to any time soon.
