My hubby and I were there yesterday. Our server was Daisy and she did a fantastic job! Shout out to her and the kitchen staff. Our calzone and pretzels were perfect! The manager even stopped by our table to check in on us. This was our second visit with many more to come in the future! Thanks for making our day even better! Daisy, you are a rockstar!
❤️ this place! The decor is “out of this world” 😃Kiddos are excited to see the spaceship 🚀 Everyone has their favorite pizza choice 🍕 but agree that all the fresh toppings are delicious! Waitstaff are always prompt and friendly.
Mellow mushroom has plenty of locations and same great matured service all around! Pick anything from the menu and you'll love it, as long as it's in your food of choice category! Family fun all the way to date fun! Also check out game night on Mondays!

Delightful Service, Best Pizza Ever. I love pizza, and while there are many good pizza places in Memphis this one has without a doubt created my favorite pizza ever. For New York style I would go elsewhere, for Chicago-style I would go elsewhere also. Mellow Mushroom has soft, chewy sweet crust that looks/tastes like wheat crust. Delicious! They also make gluten-free and vegetarian pizzas.
I stopped in for lunch one day and was surprised to step step inside what looks like an old bank building and find a unique, hip, space-themed pizza place with a great relaxed atmosphere. Definitely a family-friendly establishment. The staff here were so helpful and friendly, they made it that much better to be there!
The food (I tried the Magic Mushroom Soup and a half Thai Dye/half Cosmic Karma pizza) were made with fresh ingredients, unique (unusual) flavors, that all blended well together. Definitely a must! Only con to going there is the price. $13 for a small (4-slice) pizza is a little steep for me. Would love to go back!
Pizza and Beer.... Huge selection, so if you are any sort of craft beer lover you need to stop in. Bar staff (Mac) was friendly. Bayou pizza we had was good and the pretzels are great. I can't understand how the rating is so low (60% currently), but maybe some people need to "mellow" out and have a drink or two.

Best Pizza in a Long Time. I didn't know that Mellow Mushroom was a chain nor did I know we had more than one in Memphis. I just randomly noticed it occupying the old AAA building and the name of it made me laugh so I decided to I had to check it out.
The reviews made me a little nervous. Expensive and poor service were common criticism. A couple even mentioned poor food quality even though the beer's good. And if you can't make pizza and beer good, you're doing something wrong. But I was really determined to try it out so I went in with apprehension and the fear in my gut that I might end up spending way more than I wanted for a lunch out.
My first impression upon walking up was admittedly a bad one. The patio, which is never nice and spacious, was taken over by a group of young (probably around age six or seven) loud children, clamoring all over and taking group pictures. The inside was relatively quiet though and the decor was funky in a way that matched the name. They worked very well with the odd shape of the building they're in and it's open, airy, yet still comfortable.
Our server was quick and friendly. We got our drinks right away. And looking over the menu...the food is not remotely expensive. A large specialty pizza is around $25 (a large pizza is eight slices). However, the slices are large themselves so it's not that surprising. A large make-your-own pizza is only around $15. My companion and I went simple with a medium cheese (with extra cheese of course!). The pizza and two sodas only came to $17.32 or so. Looking through the rest of the menu, everything else is reasonably priced as well. What will bring your bill up quickly, is selecting from their long, long, extremely long list of beers (bottled, canned, and draft from all over the world, including several local selections).
The wait for our pizza was around twenty five minutes but for a fresh made pizza that's not remotely long. And when it came out...the first bite was cheesy, hot, delicious heaven. It's honestly some of the best pizza I've had in a long time. Probably the best I've had in Memphis. It's not too doughy, the base just thick enough and firm enough to be satisfying without being heavy while the crust itself is light and fluffy. It's brushed in butter and has Parmesan cheese sprinkled on top. The sauce itself was just tangy enough to be noticeable but didn't overpower the pizza which is a big problem with most pizzas in general. Between two of us we managed to put away most of six slices even though it was way too much to eat. It was honestly so good we didn't want to stop eating. And since we were going somewhere else afterwards, we couldn't get leftovers.
The part where the wonderful experience broke down was paying. It was like they didn't want our money! The waitress gave us our check, told us about a survey, and then disappeared and didn't come back for ten minutes. We started debating whether or not we were supposed to pay at the table or at the front it took so long. That knocked her tip down to only 20% but other than that it was a wonderful experience. I'm definitely going to go again. And again. And again.
Good pizza. I think that the flavor is there. i just feel this place is pricey and they should really try to add more diverse toppings to the menu so they can stand out more. Aldos is really good about standing out. Mellow mushroom should try it! Overall, good food and service (Andrea was extremely good and we will go back and ask for her) the kitchen should work on getting the food out faster though.
I ordered 2 different slices for lunch at 1115 and they had them to me within 5 minutes of ordering my speciality slices. I was getting the food to go but was drawn in by the atmosphere. Will try again maybe a sandwich next time.

Way too many chances. The first review I gave of this place was after they first opened, subtracting the new kinks that needed to be worked out. Well, over a year later, nothing has changed. In fact it's worse. The patio, with tons of heaters, was closed until April 1st. Sitting inside is plain torture due to loud kids and unpadded booths. There are never any spots open at the bar because it's the only decent place to sit. We finally got a patio table on Thursday, a day after it opened, as it was the only clean one out there. There was only one waitress out there who was working her tail off and was the only bright spot to the evening. Appetizer served after the pizza. We left after we got cut off at 8:30 PM. (Who does that?) I doubt I will ever return to this MM.

Been waiting. Finally a place with a good beer selection in East Memphis. There are some newbie kinks to work out but for the most part, pleasant first experience at this MM last week. Very kid friendly with an amazing patio. The pizzas might be pricy but that's nothing new with MM. This will be a go-to place for us after work.
Our family went back for the second time just like we said we would and had such a great experience ❤ The general manager was so sweet and kind to us just like our first visit ☺ and the pizza was amazing! This time I ordered the vegetable pizza and it was so delicious especially with the ranch dip! Yummy! If I could rate it higher, I would! If you think about going here, please do not hesitate. You will enjoy your experience here 😄 We will back again!
Don't let the wacky mushroom and pizza themed decor deter you from going. A good slice of pizza awaits beyond those doors. There are a multitude of options and each serving size is filling.
The restaurant also offers sandwiches, salads, cocktails, and a large beer list ranging from domestics, to crafts, local brews, and internationals.
Gluten-Free pizzas are small but tasty! Even tasted great the next day.
My new fave place! I've been wanting to visit here for a while and finally got the Chance to and it was well worth it. I was so excited about the food i forgot to take pics! The spinach dip was bomb, their wings are glorious, the pizza was heavenly, and thier burger was glorious! Will definitely be back and next time im bringing my kids....THEY LOVE PIZZA
This place reminded of pizza planet from Toy Story.
They do have vegan cheese!!! Had no issues with out order, we ended getting take out before we left Memphis (it was that good!)
The crust was my favorite part!
Delicious, creative pizzas that really show off what a fire oven can do. Lighter, crisp crusts paired with fresh ingredients. They also boast an impressive choice of available beers and cocktails in this big three saturated area. We will definitely be going again!
We had the pretzels, Thai Chili wings, a "Great White" pizza, and a cheese calzone. Most of it was quite delicious - especially the wings! The calzone though was a bit bland, including the marinara. It tasted like it needed a variety of spices, herbs, and some good salt! Either way, it wasn't bad enough to not eat it. The Peach cocktail was also quite good 🍑
Food was very good. We ordered the Philosopher's pie, meatballs, Greek salad and cheese bread. All of these items were tasty and would eat them again.
We sat outside with our kids. The heaters above us were not working so it was a little chilly.
The waiter took good care of us but he seemed a little off on this day. Even so he brought our food and drinks quickly so no complaints.
If you've never been I recommend checking them out!
Unusual sense of style to say the least, but the food was solid - especially the wings. The BBQ pork pizza was a bit crust-heavy, but otherwise good. Nice and crackly on the outside like you'd expect a brick oven pizza to be.
I have been to 3 Mellow Mushroom locations now, they have yet to let me down. Memphis is a friendly bright restaurant, great service and the pie was amazing. They always seem to have a killer beer on tap selection too. Picture is a small House Special and it was delicious!
