Mellow Mushroom

Second week in a row I’ve visited this place and though the pizza is wonderful and service average. The inability to cook a pizza is high.
The professionalism and concern to correct the problem was marginal at best and more than that I guess waiting on a replacement pizza AGAIN isn’t time sensitive either. Keep in mind this was at 4pm and only one other table in the restaurant so how someone can’t do what they at know for I haven’t a clue. Time to try other places out I’m beginning to think!!!

My wife and son stopped by for pizza. As always enjoyed the pizza. Server was savanah. She was great. Checked with us at the appropriate times. She was very courtesy. And friendly. Never saw a manager. And we asked the savanah what managers were working. Two on duty. but never saw any touch the tables.
Great pizza. Great service.

I’m a big fan of MM, and have been going to this location for several years. However, the last few visits the food has been subpar. It’s like something is wrong with the dough. The crust seems undercooked, even though it looks well done. We had recently been to a MM in Florida and the pizza was perfect, so I was looking forward to going back to this one. Unfortunately, after another bad experience, I’m done with this location.

What ever happened to this place they had great pizza. yesterday the pizza was raw to much cheese it was so bad never go back again. No wonder there were no other customers.

The location on 92 in Roswell is closest to my hood but I think the Sandy Springs location serves a much better pizza overall and the atmosphere and wait staff much more inviting. I’m in love with the Esperanza salad dressing and think that overall the quality of the food most always exceeds my expectations.

Love Mellow Mushroom for offering vegan dough, Daiya cheeze and keeping things kosher for us meat-​free pie craving patrons. They do pizza and they do it with fast friendly service. I always go for the Kosmic Karma (vegan with Daiya cheeze) and a side of pretzels. The calzones are also very tasty and a large portion size, enough for two meals.
This particular location works hard to ensure that vegan really does mean vegan (no cow butter on the crust, etc.). If you have an allergy you will appreciate the extra attention given here.

I forgot how good Mellow Mushroom can be among the sea of pizza places in my area. It might be a little more expensive, but I can count on decent quality of ingredients, and mmm… that crust.
My most recent trip was to do takeout. One large Philosopher’s Pie: grilled steak, portobellos, artichoke hearts, kalamata olives, provolone, feta, and mozzarella. I like that the pieces of steak are small, but it’s really the mushrooms and artichokes that really do it for me. In fact, there’s not too much of one thing so that it’s overpowering. I’ll gladly get this one again.
Mellow might have made its way back on my rotation list. Plus, SO MUCH PARKING here. It’s a rare thing on Roswell Rd. I’d also be interested in doing their trivia night since the last trivia venue I went to was a bust.

The food was not as impressive as I was expecting. I got the Mighty Meaty pizza. It lacked flavor and honestly, there are so many other places where you can get better pizza.
The hostess made it seem like she had to make such a great effort to sit us (2 people) at a table. The server was nice, but she only checked on us until we were done eating.

We eat here more than I would like to admit. Their gluten free pizza is decent, their salads are great, and they have a good selection of gluten-​free beer and cider. Until a few months ago, this would have been a solid four. Recently, however, the food quality has been falling off – burned pizzas, six pepperonis total on a pepperoni pizza, and last Friday the lady sitting next to us got a hoagie with moldy bread! They do fix these things, but really, these items should not be making it out of the kitchen at all. Hoping this is temporary and they will get their act back together.

Nasty first of all. Asked where our waiter was and we were told he was in the bathroom.
Ok. Then they had a guy walk in off the streets. Did not wash hands or put gloves on and started to make pretzels and a pizza. It was absolutely disgusting.
They tried to give me a free pizza for the next time we came in and I refused to take it. In other words we won’t be back.

Horrible experience. Did not get what i requested and was charged for something i didn’t order then only received a 25% discount. TERRIBLE

I’ve always been a fan of MM so I didn’t think twice about ordering… I’m new to Sandy Springs so I’m still learning the vibe of the area. Being a «Foodie», I usually pick out decent eating spots. Well, my first experience at this location was perfect! However, I can’t say the same about my second visit. My order was plain’ol burnt! So I made it known to the manager and he was apologetic and readily made another order for me. Well, just as I feared, the remake was under cooked and missing a topping, so I went home and finished it on the stove idk what I’m doing wrong but hopefully my next experience will keep me coming back. If not, it’s back to DaVinci’s Pizza in Smyrna.
I must say for the record, the atmosphere is awesome and the staff is friendly which is the only reason I’m going to give them one last try

I’m a fan of MM. I have found the pizzas to be good and I also enjoy their sandwiches. So, I stopped by here one night to get one of my favorite sandwiches from them. It was my first time coming to this location since they moved from up the street. This place is larger and has that very cute mushroom décor that I really like.
Anyway, I’m in love with the mushroom club, which is ham, turkey, mushroom, carmelized onions, and provolone. I really am crazy about this sandwich. I think the bean sprouts that they top it with just sets it off quite nicely. It is a warm sandwich and the bread is toasted. I find that the calzones are pretty good also.
They have a good selection of ingredients with which you can build your own pizza or calzone. Don’t sleep on the salads here either.
Service is always decent when I visit MM and this visit was no different. Make sure you join the mellow e-​club to get coupons and such. Go get you some.

Overrated, expensive, and extremely slow! We didn’t even finish half the pizza or two of the pretzels between four of us. Not impressed!

Best. Tempeh. Ever. I adore the premium ingredient options at Mellow and having the ability to create my own giant salad. My favorite? Spinach topped with double grilled portabellas, avocado, and double tempeh, all tossed in THE BEST balsamic vinaigrette. Be still my vegetarian food loving heart! The Sandy Springs location is my favorite for its bright cheery atmosphere, friendly service, and overall cleanliness. Great patio too in warmer months. Thanks Mellow for making the non-​pizza options shine just as much as the pizzas!

Went there with a girlfriend and her kid.
They were slow and I would have expected decent service because of it. Wrong.
The server was nice but not attentive. She spent more time talking to her co-​workers than paying attention to her tables.
1. Silverware was dirty. Pizza spatula was sticky.
2. Soup came out cold. It hardly even melted the sour crème. And the adults got their food before the kids. THAT made it fun. «I’m huuuuunnngggrrryyy!!!» «Where’s my food???»
3. We ordered a medium, we got a small.
4. There were four of us. The adults had soup and salad. They brought two pizza plates for the kids and I guess we were supposed to use our soup and salad plates for ours.
5. Stared at the server to get her attention. She didn’t look up from her discussion for almost 3 minutes. I finally got up and got my own two plates and more napkins. The manager asked if he could help when I got them myself. You would think that would be his cue to make sure we got good service from that point on. He didn’t pay us any attention at all.
6. First refill came at the same time as the check. The check took forever because she didn’t even notice we were done eating and dealing with kids who were ready to go.
7. When one of the kids spilled her drink under the table, we asked for another and the server asked us if we wanted some RAGS to clean up the mess. What???
8. After declining dessert, the server still described the big choc chip cookie the carry. And of course, it was then a to-​do to help the kid understand why she couldn’t have a 6″ cookie right before bed. Thanks a lot for that hissy fit, my friend.
I hope they find this as a way to improve their operations.

They always do fine, but we were just there for a quick drink.
They had GF beer (which just caused me to bump them up to 4 stars).

I always forget how much I love the esperanza dressing. Then I order my salad with it and end up asking for more in order to dip my pizza crust in it.
We arrived around 5:45 on a Saturday, and our group of 3 adults and 2 toddlers was promptly seated at a table towards the back. The TVs are mounted up high, so if you’re too close, you can only see about half the screen. Luckily we were in between two, so we could read the score by checking both. The wooden chairs did quite a bit of sliding on the tile floors… but that could’ve been the daredevil children in them…
For the kids, we got a cheese pizza meal and a pepperoni pizza meal. They come with either apple slices & peanut butter or broccoli. That’s pretty much a no-​brainer… You can also get a pretzel as a kids meal, but we instead got a half order of the pretzels with salt and mustard for all of us to nibble on.
The adults got draft beer, tossed salads with esperanza dressing ($ 4.99 for the regular, $ 2.99 for the lil), and a large Mad Italian (supposedly unique to this MM location, for $ 21.37) to share. The pizza was olive oil and garlic base with salami, ham, roasted red peppers, onions, and diced pepperocini. The pepperocini added a nice kick!
Solid family pizza spot.

I love the ‘shroom.
We hit this location late in the day on a Sunday — me and 2 kids. Brian (our server) was super nice and worked well with the kids who placed their own orders and don’t always speak up or clearly.
We got 3 small pizzas — one plain cheese, one with a substitution (brought out correctly) and one insanely crazy concoction (also brought out correctly). Brian applauded the 8 year-old’s selection of toppings for his creation and even complimented him about how delicious it looked when it came out.
However, our problem was the length of time we spent there and the absolute slowness of service. The pizzas took entirely too long to come out (but they were hot when they did) and then once they did, we never saw Brian again until I had to flag him down to get a box (but he did bring the check). He was nice and funny as he boxed up the left over pizza, however you shouldn’t offer more soda to an 8 year old without checking with the grown up at the table (IMHO). So he offered my nephew more Sprite when the glass was still half-​full. Argh. Luckily, Will did not drink the extra Sprite he was served.
Overall the food was great, but the service was way too slow with two young ones at the table. I think the restaurant was empty enough, the staff was complacent and had no fire. The food saved them.

So now that I work in Sandy Springs, I’m getting used to the food options when I have a break between lunch and dinner shifts, before or after work, etc. Love that there’s a WF en route directly from work and when I don’t have much time on a break, it’s cool that there are all kinds of restaurants, from sit-​down to drive-​thru close by.
Today, I just HAD to leave the building. My first Sat lunch shift was not a whopping success on any front and with barely an hour before being back for dinner, all I could think was «PIZZA.» Well, and «Feed Me, Seymour» kept running through my head.
Note: I tried to be good and start with a salad but I ordered the wrong one — do not get the tossed salad. It is supposed to be romaine and iceberg, is basically all iceberg (which I hate) and the tomatoes were ick. Pay better attention than I did and get the field greens. At least my cheese pizza with extra cheese (duh) was tasty. And I can probably eat the leftovers en route home after working tonight.
Oh, and NPWH. The manager tried to get me a different salad since he saw I wasn’t eating mine and while I did not want one, that was a nice gesture.
