Mellow Mushroom

depending on your cultural background, either Lewis Carroll or Amsterdam.

Speaking of Amsterdam: For a Bible Belt chain, Mellow Mushroom's specialty pies seem suspiciously designed with "the munchies" in mind, both in name and in toppings. The "Magical Mystery Tour" and "Kosmic Karma" pizzas both feature the restaurant's signature pesto sauce, and the "House Special", which—in a madcap, hungover mood—I ordered, is piled high with pepperoni, sausage, ground beef, onions, green peppers, mushrooms, black olives, fresh tomatoes, ham, bacon and extra cheese.
Defying expectations, the alarming variety of toppings was handled with restraint. The tomato sauce was, to my palate, a bit heavy on the oregano, but everything tasted fresh, and there wasn't the tsunami of orange oil that I've come to expect from big-chain "Meat-Lover's" pies. The star of the show, though, was that garlicky, unctuous crust—thick enough to sink your teeth into, but still thin enough to eat with your hand. Yellow with butter and stuccoed with cornmeal, this is a crust to save for last, not discard.

Great food, but pricey. The pizzas are bigger than you'd think. The stuffed mushroom on a bed of greens was delicious. The service was great; we came at a non-busy time.

Always fresh and delicious! Deli meat and cheeses make it special. The crust makes it- soft, chewy and good on it's own. They have an awesome tomato bisque-type soup that makes a great appetizer. I also have tried the whole wheat crust, only because my daughter ordered it, and it was fabulous! Who knew! It is now one of my favorite pizzas! It's a noisy place, though- a small complaint!

Great food and service. I recently went there for a birthday party, this month. Our server was Christina and she was awesome. There was about 20 plus people and my drink never got down past the half way mark. When the food came out it was accurate and fast, not to mention delicious. I will definitely go back. They also have wonderful lunch specials. You get a drink and 5 different combo's to choose from for a price around $6, its only during the weekdays and ends at 2pm. However, every day from 2pm-6pm they have half off appetizers and drink specials.
