Mellow Mushroom

This experience was more than mellow it was mushroom and so much more! Finally I can write a review that is well worth the five stars (woohoo!). First off we did not have to wait a long time to be seated in a good booth away from the small crowd for an intimate setting. Since this location is very close to the University weekend nights tend to be very busy not only for it’s location but for it’s reputation in Tallahassee.
Our server’s name was Victoria and she greeted us with a warm smile making suggestions like their amazing Spin Dip or Baked Wings (The Spin was in the Dip). We went with the Spinach and Artichoke Dip and it was served right from the oven with fresh with a crisp sound garlic bread. Later we ordered our entrée and it consisted of half the large pizza being cosmic and the other half being meat lovers. The crust was soft and crispy to the palliate, which only resulted in my mouth wanting more.
Victoria made sure our drink were filled and she also made sure we were well taken care of throughout the evening. I felt like I was chatting with my best friend the whole time and that goes a long way for me. The manager came to the table a few times to check-​up on how are dining experience came to be. I am left speechless for the amazing service and food this place offers, plus I highly recommend this place to whoever loves pizza or wants to try something new around town.
1) Excellent

Happy Unilocaling!

Well let’s see how to begin:(
Chaos! That was the atmosphere at the mellow mushroom at 6:15 on Friday night… I guess that’s what you would expect in any eatery on a Friday night at 6:15 however, mediocre mushroom was exactly that! Mediocre at best!
We spent $ 52 for one large shiitake vegan pizza and one salad and one beer to share. This is obscene!
You could get the a better thing at Whole Foods know that it’s clean food and actually enjoy the experience!
Never again!

Pizza is fresh and delicious. Calzones are out of this world. Eat there every other Friday. A little expensive but worth it.

We came here before and after the FSU-​USF game. The bartenders were great. Good drinks, good atmosphere and reasonable prices. Highly recommend if your here to watch FSU.

This was my first visit to a Mellow Mushroom and go figure it had to be in Tallahassee. We were so happy to have found this place open after a late Florida State Game… they stay open til 2am. We were looking for some food and adult beverages and this place fit the bill. The young staff members were friendly and accommodating once they finally acknowledged we had sat down. Unfortunately I had to get up from my table to ask for menus. For a pizza joint they have a good variety of items on their menu. The Cesar salad was really good… love the homemade croutons. The Long Island was good and alcohol potent. A little disappointed that they didn’t have Moscato or Riesling wine. The pizza was above average based on freshness in comparison to the other «P» pizza chain restaurants. They are a bit pricey. I recommend going for the atmosphere… good date night place if you want pizza and alcohol.

SO good! I love this place. It’s a little pricey but definitely worth the splurge sometimes. I like their pretzels, and a funky q pizza with a ranch swirl. There’s lots to look at, but don’t take your super conservative parents here.

Tallahassee has way better pizza places, so unless you’re vegan, don’t bother. Their lunch combo of two slices and a fountain drink for $ 5.99 sounds great, just be careful to not overload on the toppings, otherwise your bill will be a lot larger than expected. The dough was tough and chewy, and it took me almost the entire day to get out of a post-​pizza slump.

I love this place! A little pricy, though. If you go, try their pretzels! Definitely worth it — aside from their pizza of course.

The dough was undercooked, they charge a lot for toppings, they just forget to put them on. Ordered mushrooms, green peppers and onions. I had 4 small pieces of mushrooms, about 3 very thin slices of peppers and 10 very thin slices of onions. The manager came to ask if all was good, I told him about the lack of toppings and did me a huge favor by not charging the $ 2 for mushrooms. Way to go! Won’t be back.

Let me start by saying that I have served at two other mellow mushrooms. I went into the one here in Tallahassee because I moved here and they posted a now hiring ad on Craigslist looking for servers. I went in to apply and asked the hostess for an application, she said she would go get the kitchen manager for me, so I stopped her and said I was looking to be a server and she laughed at me and told me that I shouldn’t waste my time because I’m a Male. I asked for the FOH manager and he gave me an app and said that they were ONLY hiring kitchen staff (post on Craigslist said servers being hired). I went in about 5 days later to eat with some friends and our server told us about how she had just gotten hired! How weird right? I asked if there were any guy servers and she said no that they don’t hire males in FOH…
sexist fucks, I will never go here to this location again and will tell all my friends the same.

always packed on game days but it’s worth the wait! Not a long walk from the stadium either. The game is always on and everyone there is cheering on the Seminoles.
Unbelievable pizza (Maui WOWIE i’m in love). They have great options for vegans and vegetarians too!
Another fun thing about this Mellow Mushroom is Trivia Night! Big prizes for winners. Fun night if you don’t want to go to nasty crowded clubs/​bars
:-)

It’s not often that I can say that I had the perfect meal. Thanks to Rebecca, tonight I can. We not only had a delicious meal, but one of the best servers we’ve ever encountered. We were seriously considering asking her to come home with us and be our new babysitter/​best friend. Side note: the Red Skin Potato Pie was absolutely delicious!

Nice place and good pizza. Had a double run & coke for $ 3.00. Can’t beat it. Ordered the bruschetta which was very good with the drizzled balsamic glaze. It was very good.
Also ordered a medium Hawaiian pizza that we shared between two of us and it was very good and more than enough for both of us.
You girl who served us was very polite and curious. Overall very good and would not hesitate in returning.

Not too sure why this place only has 3 starts. Definietly deserves four or five stars however the wait is a bit long. The actual pizza is INCREDIBLE though!!! I’ve only gone here twice and both times were sooo good.
The calzones were really delicious and huge so I was able to take the second half month for lunch! The pizza itself is sooo yummy and delicious. The crust is probably the best crusts I’ve ever had. So fresh and delicious.
I tried the Mediterranean pizza and man, let me tell you. it’s good. I’m normally all over regular pizza with tomato sauce but this pizza was a refreshing change. It had so much flavor and was way better than I expected.
Can’t wait to go back here! However, it is a bit expensive and obnoxious that you can’t order a slice of pizza however you want it. Only by the pie but oh well still worth it and totally mouth watering.

We are not from N. Fla. But were up for a graduation and spent a wonder fee weekend in Tallahassee. This was one of the places picked for lunch and everyone enjoyed everything that was ordered. The service was good. The food was good. Who could ask for anything more. We all left very happy.

Excellent! Quick service and fresh food. We got the spinach salad and house calzone. We will be back!

Sit AT the bar for the best service. Good apps, good pizza, and decent beers on tap.

Let me preface this review by saying that Mellow Mushroom has good food. I am taking 3 stars off this particular location because I am so disappointed with how they are representing the company as a whole and how much the place has gone down hill. I used to come to this location a lot when I was attending FSU. My friends and I have a lot of happy memories here and have never had any problems in the past. I was in town visiting my alma mater and some friends when my fiancé and I decided to pop in for a bite. The place was very busy. Turned out it was bingo night. (The bingo was fun, though it did seem to take quite a while to call each «number.») We were seated in a back corner room where there was one other couple and two men seated at a secondary bar. It seemed the staff had forgotten about us periodically, though the men at the bar (who arrived after us) were served quite quickly and received regular attention. Our server was Kelly. Kelly was very nice and did the best she could in the busy situation, making us not mind the long waits. We had the Magic Mushroom Soup and a custom calzone, and bother were very tasty. She offered us dessert, but we politely declined. It was a long but enjoyable dinner.
Were this our only experience at the restaurant on our trip, this review would be very different. But we decided to return the following evening when our July 4^th plans got rained out. Our server this time was Molly. This server was an expert at avoiding eye contact. We were seated directly next to the counter, yet it took forever for her to come over just to get our order. Every time she came over, she seemed to be repressing an attitude like waiting on us was this big inconvenience. We ordered the soup again and a small pizza. The table behind us was seated after us, had more people, and was served before us. Unlike the previous night, the restaurant was nearly empty. You would think the service would be quicker. Hahaha, no. It was slower! Additionally, the manager was walking around with his stomach hanging out, and I kept averting my eyes. Based on other reviews I see here, this was not a one-​time issue. It’s not that I have a problem with larger people as I used to be one. However, when you’re working around peoples’ food, no part of your midsection should be exposed no matter if you’re a size 0 or a size 50. The manager decided to change the channel we were watching during the excessively long wait for our food despite the program being right in the middle of the competition it had been building up to for 45 minutes. The small crowd in the restaurant groaned at the change and shouted «change it back» and such, but he put on what he felt like watching. I think it was some Charlie’s Angels rerun or something.
When Molly finally brought us our check, not having offered us a box for our leftovers or any dessert as servers are supposed to do, I put my card in the jacket immediately and put the folder in a very obvious spot on the corner of our table right next to the counter and the register where Molly was. I checked the time stamp on the check. It took nearly 20 minutes for Molly to come back and pick up the folder to charge us! We tried to grab her attention several times, but, as stated, she avoiding looking anywhere in our direction. After all of this, I could see that painfully slow service had become the standard at this location. The waitresses seem to just hang around behind the counter and chat with each other or people at the bar. Folks at tables are less important and can wait. Not at all what I remember from my college years.
This location now reflects poorly on the Mellow Mushroom chain. While I certainly don’t want to see it closed, some serious changes need to be made. As a customer, I can vouch that the current state of service at this establishment is discouraging me from spending money here.
TL;DR: What happened, Mellow Mushroom of Tallahassee? You used to be cool.

I’m not from the north Florida area so when I went up there for business, I never thought I’d come upon this gem of a place. There were 6 of us in the group and everyone wanted to try something different. The wait staff was pleasant and accommodating. Each of us got a half a pizza that sounded good and then we shared.
The Thai dye and Kosmic Karma pizzas were killer! The toppings were awesome, the crust was great! This place beat Momo’s pizza hands down and I’d go back in a heart beat.
Thank you, Mello Mushroom!

Friendly staff and great pizza. Love the porch!
