This is my favorite pizza in the area. The pizza dough is perfect chewy and a good crust on the edges. The menu is great for people with diet restrictions; gluten free and veggie choices. It does take a while to get your pizza I enjoyed a local craft beer and a salad while I waited. Staff was very friendly.

This pizza baker store is a nice location if you like major traffic or go at ransoms times late in the evening. After that, tasty choice for a chain store of quality pizzas made to order. There is plenty of parking and plenty of seating. It’s a very laid back environment. To add to the down to earth appeal, the menu overflows with ideas for pizzas, snacks, calzones, sandwiches and even salads. If you are concerned for nutrition, they have you covered. I am a fan of the gluten-free options and salads, the cornucopia of ingredients to make your own pizza, and, the freshness. The only concern is the price seems a bit high for my taste of comfort food pizza and salad. Still, to know it is exactly what I want, it’s a good choice. Yum.

I came in January 15th around 5 o’clock. Best Pizza I’ve ever had! Excellent service! I had the buffalo chicken/loaded potato Pizza and it was amazing. The kitchen staff was great to watch and Liam, the Bartender was awesome :) I will definitely be coming back

The pizza at Mellow Mushroom is average. But pricey. Not a great recipe. Mellow Mishroom has a beer menu, which caused me to think that it would also have a really good selection of beer. Not the case. Same crappy dime-a-dozen wanna-be craft beers as everywhere else in Birmingham. Crappy Sweetwater, Good Pelople pisswaters. When everyone is «different», nobody’s different. Have a nice beard. Deducted a star because the place has recently been renovated with fake wood floors & walls, and it smells like laminate hell.

Hospitable staff is what really made us happy. The manager was making his rounds greeting patrons making sure they were taken care of. I really appreciated that. Shoutout to Katie our server for the great service. Great atmosphere. 10⁄10

We have had a number of good experiences at MM. This last one wasn’t as good, had to have food sent back twice because the kitchen didn’t pay attention to food allergy requirements.(They did give me ½ off my sandwich since it took so long & they had to remake it & I was thankful for the consideration) They have a large menu & lots of choice when it comes to alternate choices(vegan, vegetarian, etc.). The food always tastes good too. Update: customer service for MM contacted me for feedback & to make things right. Big points in my book for having good customer service in following up & listening to their customers. We’ll be back for sure.

The pizzas are really good. We have been many times here but tonight(2−13−15) our service was awful and the manager was drinking at the bar. I mean I think our server was dropped on his head a lot as a kid! He couldn’t remember what we drinking or when we wanted refills. Didn’t bring us any silver wear or plates. I mean just awful! Rushed us to order then took 30 mins to bring us our check after we asked for boxes. We asked for To go drinks and after he brought our checks to signs said have a good night, and I had to remind him again to bring our To go drinks… I won’t be back for a while… It was like they were just stupid there tonight. Or high… I don’t know

Isabelle was the greatest! I’m going to give this jerk chicken pizza a shot. Great times every visit!

I would give the food 4 stars, and the fact that they usually have Snake Handler on drought is also a plus. However, the acoustics in this place or horrible so it’s way too loud. It seems that it’s always full of kids who run around and scream like it’s a Chuck E. Cheese’s. Service is pretty spotty as well.

This was my first time at a Mellow Mushroom, and this place blew me away. I ordered take out and had to wait at the bar for a few minutes for my order to finish. The place seemed relatively busy but the bartender was still so friendly. He even opened up my order so I could check it for perfection before leaving with my take out. I ordered the stuffed mushroom cap & the buffalo chicken calzone and both were so good. Props to mellow mushroom, I will definitely be a returning customer!

Awesome good and great service! They don’t have ShockTop bet anymore which is upsetting but other than that the food is always great. The bayou blue is awesome and the Caesar is always great. Looking forward to my next visit there.

This was our first visit to Mellow Mushroom, and are we glad we chose it. The pizza is delicious! We ordered a Holy Shiitake and a House special, plus a mushroom soup and some wings. The mushroom pie was amazing! The great mushroom flavor and the chewy/crispy crust really worked well together. The House Special was your classic combo pizza, and it was loaded up with enough toppings and cheese to make it work nicely with the thick crust. The red sauce tastes great as well. The soup was pretty good, as well as the wings. All of these things would be worth ordering again. Too bad there aren’t any locations here in California!

This has to be my favorite spot for pizza. I know it’s a chain, but oh my God is it good. So many choices and all are amazing. I think it’s the dough and the unique flavor combinations that separates it from most other places. I’ve been numerous times, and possibly the only negative I can think of is concerning their appetizers. They’re a bit pricy and you don’t get much. Just stick to the pizza, that’s why you came here anyway.

Who goes to a pizza joint and orders a hoagie? Apparently this guy. The fam was in the mood for pizza yesterday, but I wanted something different. It’s been forever since I’ve eaten at Mellow Mushroom, and to be honest, I didn’t even remember them having options OTHER than pizza… I was pleasantly surprised. Don’t get me wrong, I like their pizzas. They are good and fresh(prepare to wait while they’re made). But instead, I ordered the Jerk Chicken Hoagie(without pineapple). Here’s the description from their menu… «Jerk chicken, onions, mushrooms, green peppers and pineapple all grilled together. Topped with pesto mayo, Roma tomatoes, spinach and feta.» I’m a little bit of a pesto fan and I like things on the spicy side. This sandwich did not disappoint. On the downside, it only came with chips. On the upside, the whole was huge! You don’t need chips.

Mellow Mushroom, in my option is the best«Chain» Pizza place in town. The last time i had brand X it was really terrible. At the MM I’ve had really good pizza and tonight it wasn’t so great. I had MM in Hilton Head SC and it was as good as I have ever eaten. Roll the dice.

This is my favorite pizza chain restaurant. I had a small pepperoni and mushroom pizza. It had the right amount of each topping and sauce. The pizza was delicious. Enjoyed the crust too! I ate the whole thing(I normally don’t eat the crust.) In the past, I’ve ordered a medium or large pizza and didn’t think there was enough sauce. So, I would ask for extra sauce when I placed the order and it would be the way I like it. Maybe they put the same amount of sauce regardless of size because I forgot to ask for extra sauce on the small and it was fine.

Dough is vegan, just order your pizza without cheese, pesto, or the parm/butter spread(they put it on the crust). Where else can you get tempeh or BBQ tofu on your pizza?

I love the pizza at Mellow Mushroom. It has to be my favorite chain, then CPK but let us talk about the Shroom. The staff at this location is great. They introduced me to an IPA that only they make. It is called Bogart. How cute. And on the tap is the Caterpillar from Alice in Wonderland. It is a great location with outside seating which I love.
