Mellow Mushroom

I want to eat all the Mellow Mushroom.
The server/​bartender was so helpful and friendly. There was a wide variety of craft beer to choose from. I asked for a jalapeño cream ale and I was brought a sample to make sure I wanted it since it was spicy. It was spicy and smooth.
The pizza had an awesome pesto that was so delicious. All the pizza ingredients seemed so fresh too. There were so many pizza options, I can’t wait to go back and try more of the pizzas.

Decent drink list. Above average pizza. Great Meatballs.

This place is a bit pricey but the pizza quality is very good. The service could be better but other than that great to go with family and friends.

The only upside I THOUGHT this place had was the reverse happy hour.
Except when I get a notification that says they ran my tab through a week after I left town, and I have to call FOUR times to get the money back, and they STILL «can’t do anything» for me, I get a little mad.
Especially when this isn’t the first time servers have stolen, I have little patience for this sort of thing. I’ve gone with a large group that split the tab, and the server pocketed all the cash and charged the entire bill to one card (and then got caught and not fired).
I even checked to see if the charge took a while to go through and the delay was just a computer thing. Nope, they charged me $ 16 for a single beer and refuse to give the money back. Guess everyone is in on the crookery here! Thanks Mellow.
PS– I hear many other horror stories about this sort of thing from this location.

First time but not my last.
Today, was my first visit to Mellow Mushroom. We arrived at 11:30 on a Thursday for lunch. There were about 20 guests already, however, we were seated immediately.
Mellow Mushroom offers a varied selection of entrée’s and brews. I chose the lunch special: 8″ pepperoni pizza for $ 4.99. I added one topping and a drink for a total of $ 9.24.
My lunch arrived in 15 minutes. My entrée was piping hot with plenty of mozzarella, sauce and toppings. The crust was soft and flavorful as was the sauce and toppings
The service was exceptional. The pizza was delicious. I can’t wait to go back for my next visit.

First timing stopping in last night… nice environment. we liked the open kitchen .my kids enjoyed watching the guys flip the pizza dough. Waitress was friendly and very helpful. We order two larges and some garlic beard. Everything was really tasty and good. My kids we happy which sometimes they can be picky about pizza. Prices were a little high but we will return someday for sure.

Truly the best pizza I’ve had in the valley! Tends to be very busy Friday and Saturday nights at dinner time, so plan accordingly.

This place has got to be my favorite pizza joint. I’m from out of town and every time I stop I’m AZ it’s a must to pay this place a visit. First off, my absolute favorite pizza is the magical mystery with sausage bites. It has jalapeños that awaken your taste buds and gooey cheese that compliments their dough in all aspects. Pair it with the artichoke spinach dip and the garlic parmesan pretzels! You won’t regret it

The staff are great and the food is pretty good too! However, I do not see myself coming here again. When you sit down everything looks ok… If you look closely the place is filthy! I am a far cry from being a clean freak or get hyper focused on something. The floor had a layer of film, dirt, food (with the tables being empty). Looking at the walls and there is spilled soda, beer, and food that was wiped but not cleaned. There was a waft of smoke from the kitchen when you first walk in which tells me their ventilation system is not working to great. The staff is VERY friendly and attentive. However, whoever is I charge does not know how to supervise the staff on cleaning up or cleanliness is not a priority.

Did MM change their jerk wing recipe? We don’t come here often as its 15 miles away from our NW home, but I remember awesome jerk wings. Today, not so awesome. My strawberry tea was no where near strawberry either. Just different then I remember. Pizza and service was good though.

Worst service ever
Denied PIZZA because I did not have a horizontal ID when I am 23 years old
Restaurant is only 21 and up after 12
You can’t even order food
This is a joke right?

Your job as a server, has its ups and downs. I totally understand. That does NOT give you the right to be rude with your customers.
Don’t EVER, go to your table and tell them, «If you guys want, I’ll be more than happy to get you another server». First off, we never asked for another server. All we said was, please don’t walk away so fast, when we are trying to order more food/​drinks, or need the most basic thing– silverware. And you got upset or butt hurt that we had any feed back to your horrible service. Because it was that– Horrible! Don’t put your finger up to tell us «one minute» and not even make eye contact with your customers. We are paying to eat here, you are getting PAID. See the difference? Also, take into account that it’s how you say something and not what you say. You could have said «I’ll be right with you guys, bare with me». At least give acknowledgement that you know we are here and need/​want something.
It’s busy, you’re running around, all understandable. We’ve been there, but you apologize and move on. DO NOT give us attitude because you hate your job. If you can’t deal with customers, I suggest you get into a different career. Service is simply not for you!
Server we had: Tall, red head. Tatted with 1991 on his arm. Never got his name. I guess introducing yourself to customers was not taught. Unfortunate.

We love Mellow Mushroom and were excited to find one here in Phoenix after moving from Raleigh, Nc. MM was a favorite and has not disappointed in the past, with great pizza. We love the red skin potato pie since discovering it at our last visit.
What made this visit 5 star was the customer service we received. Having been seated next to a long (and loud) table nearby (which I would like to point out is never a good idea) our pizza took a very long time to get to our table, and when I start to get upset then watch out. The manager delivered our long awaited pizza himself at a discount and that made all the difference. Not only did the quality continue for a great experience but we left impressed and satisfied and I get to enjoy leftovers tomorrow– and I never had to say a word!
It’s just as important to have great food as it is to keep customers happy and for the reasons mentioned above we will continue to frequent MM.

I had high hopes based on my experience going to the one at City North. 2^nd visit to this location, thinking they might redeem themselves. This time with a Groupon in tote.
Nope — no redemption. I ordered takeout — 2 hoagies (both no cheese, no mayo). The girl taking the order repeats this — no cheese, no mayo. I arrive and the order comes out — both have cheese. Apologies all around. Someone even comes out from the kitchen to apologize and to say my order is now priority. He also reconfirms — no cheese, no mayo. 20 minutes later the order comes back out. The bar tender and I both take a quick inspection — yep, no cheese!
Didn’t think to recheck the mayo. Get home — both sandwiches have mayo. Luckily the mayo is only on one side of the bread, so we can salvage at least part of our lunch. Sadly disappointed. Two visits, both times my order has come out incorrectly. This time, both attempts at the same order still not right :(

I’m not the type of person who likes to eat food that’s sweet and savory at the same time. So when I ordered the Maui Wowie I was a skeptic from the start. But once the steaming slice of pizza choo-choo’d its way into my mouth, my mind was all-​aboard, and my heart followed. From the first bite you’ll be taken away to a savory trip filled with pesto, jerk chicken, banana peppers, Applewood smoked bacon and just the right amount of pineapple to satisfy any sweet tooth, to the last bite of crust, that you can trust, is genuinely amazing. I’ve also tried the House Special, Red Skin Potato Pie and the Buffalo Chicken, which have all impressed me, and kept me coming back for another round. So hop on board and don’t get left behind, join the Mellow Mushroom ride!
PS food is amazing, but the service was on the funky side. I know it gets busy, but c’monnnn!

Great atmosphere, pizza was just OK and I thought pretty pricey.
Our waiter Corey was fantastic, helpful, knowledgeable and attentive.
I will give it another try to see if it was just me and not Mellow Mushroom.

I’ve been here many times since my first review and the service has always been great. I think the key for me is sitting in the bar area. They always take care of you there. Pizza is amazing. Excellent buttery soft crust and lots of toppings. Mighty Meaty is still my favorite. Their beer selection is hard to beat. Definitely the best in North Phoenix. I love the Purple Haze and Orange Blossom. I don’t think there is another bar within a 20 mile radius that has both of these. Also, I was there last night and wanted to watch a football game and a server promptly changed it for me right away! That’s how you get people to stay and come back. Three and a half stars is just wrong. Come here on a Friday night and it will be packed so obviously a lot of people like it.

Love MM! Got the gluten free version of the house special tonight. While it was still tasty and had crispy crust, the crust was very thin and different from the regular MM crust I know and love. Still worth it for a tasty GF option!
Always a fan of the Papago Orange Blossom on tap here too!

Tried MM on a Monday afternoon with the missus. We arrived at 3:30 and there were 20 guests inside and three servers. Good ratio.
My wife ordered wine and a GF pizza with two ingredients. I got an iced tea and a small mighty meat pizza. Check came to $ 42.36 plus tip. A lot for two 10″ pies, wine and tea.
It arrived in 14 mins, piping hot as usual. Our server, JoAnna, was a bit slow with the service but when we asked for anything, she delivered. Rather undecided about her.
The GF pizza was disappointing. We’ve had a lot of GF pizzas, so we know good from bad. There was almost no sauce on it. In fact, my wife said she didn’t want the leftovers until I told her I could make some marinara at home. My pie was very good tho. It had plenty of toppings, sauce and cheese.

I had read about this place before and it sounded interesting. When my friend Kate wrote a review about it, I knew that eventually I had to check it out. Her review of the place was that it was good albeit a bit expensive. The manager of that particular location (not this one here), wrote her back explaining their ingredients, pricing structure etc. I thought that was pretty cool that they would write back like that after seeing some small issues within a review. That is a good customer service and I like to go to places that exude that. I was at work one day and decided to place an order for pick up. I went with a plain cheese pizza. 90% of the time, that is my order at a new joint. If they make a good cheese pizza, the rest of their pizzas should be good too! I drove up the 17 to pick it up. I parked and walked in. Here is what transpired…
I walked into the place and was greeted by the hostess. I told her that I had ordered a pizza and she told me that I could go to the bar and pick it up there. I got to the bar and told the bartender that I had ordered a pizza. He then left said bar area and went back to the front of the store where I came in at. He picked up the pizza from there and then brought it back to the bar area. Maybe it would be easier to just have the hostess ring everything up and handle takeout orders? Anyways… I paid for my pizza and took it to go. I brought it out to my car and dug in. Here is how it was…
Small Cheese Pizza ($ 9.49) — I opened this up and could tell by the looks of it that it would be good! It was cut into 4 large slices. I picked up the first slice and bit in. It was delicious! The crust was a thinner crust but was sturdy and held up well. You could fold this slice in half and eat it no problem. The sauce and cheese were great. I learned from my friend Kate that they use 100% whole milk mozzarella and you could totally tell. It wasn’t greasy at all and it was salty and delicious. Now on to the crust… They butter up their crust and then top it with sprinkled Parmesan cheese. The crust was awesome! Thick enough to chew but still tender at the same time. The Parmesan cheese topping sent it over the top. Messy on your fingers and hands, but delicious! I woofed down those 4 slices pretty darn quick. It was a really good pizza.
I would definitely come back. It is not the cheapest pizza out there, but it is definitely delicious and I could see myself craving it at one point down the road. Its only a few miles from work too, so that is good! I was impressed.
