Pizza Pizza! - Edit
There were a few options as the dough is Vegan and they have Vegan cheese. I had the Shitake something (I forgot) which is in the photo! It was DELICIOUS. They run large on size and are a little pricey but EVERYTHING is in that town.

Great pizza in a pretty vegan-unfriendly area - Edit
I ate here twice during my stay in Gatlinburg, since there aren’t many options around. Nothing on the menu was marked vegan, so I had to modify the veg-out pizza by asking for Follow Your Heart cheese. I also added tempeh for protein.

Very impressed! - Edit
I was really impressed with the pizza I ordered! I would say this is definitely one of the best vegan pizzas I’ve ever had. I’m not much of a crust person, but I absolutely loved the crust on this pizza! I had tempeh, jalapeño peppers, and garlic roasted peppers as my toppings. So good!

Good - Edit
Staff was very friendly and seemed knowledgeable about veganism, I had an avocado hoagie with vegan cheese and no mayo (since it wasn’t vegan). It was good! If they had vegan mayo I would give them 4 stars.

A lot of selections, easy to figure out now - Edit
So I went on their website ahead of time. Scroll to the bottom and you can click 'Vegan' and it will actually tell you what is vegan so you don't have to mess around asking waiters. Also, when I went just two days ago and today both waiters knew exactly what Vegan was and wanted to make sure my order was correct and were very friendly. I'll definitely be back on our next trip. They have large Vegan pretzels, vegan cheese to go with the Vego pizza, yummy. Greek salad and another one. More I believe but didn't have a chance to try
Read morePros: The pizza was yummy, The veggies were yummy, The staff was friendly, and knew about Vegan food
Cons: The daiquiri sign out front makes it hard to find

Perfectly ok - Edit
ETA: Much better this time around!
Read moreOP: The Follow Your Heart cheese was weirdly soft and gooey but not in a good way. Waiter lost interest in us halfway through.
On the plus side they have many terrific toppings.

Great pizza and had a gluten free crust option! - Edit
My vegan family of 4 enjoyed our upizza here, and I was able to get a gluten free vegan crust. Our waitress was friendly and even verified that my favorite topping (sauteed onions) was vegan (they were). They had lots of vegan toppings, and vegan cheese.

Great vegan options! - Edit
I ordered the vegan avocado hoagie, which I used to get at MM years ago before I was vegan—just as good vegan as I remember! I ordered over the phone to add grilled green pepper and mushroom, which you can't add online. When I picked up my order (upstairs bar), I was informed that the pesto sauce is also vegan and did I want a side (the guy who helped me was super nice). 😌 It's so good with the pesto!! They also have a tempeh hoagie and vegan pizzas.

Excellent pizza, awful service. - Edit
Our server was quite possible one of the worst servers we’ve ever had. Had absolutely no idea what was on the menu, what vegan meant, etc. We would ask questions and he would literally just stare back at us for 5-10 seconds. He forgot dishes constantly, brought us the wrong food several times, and seemed extremely airheaded. Manager had to intervene more than once.
Read moreThe positive is that the pizza itself was very good. They have vegan cheese, tempeh, and tofu toppings. If you’re vegan, I would suggest doing the build your own pizza and adding vegan ingredients to it. I would not trust other things on the menu. We asked the manager what else was vegan and he told us “well, everything on the menu can be made vegan if you remove the non vegan stuff”. Uhhh, yeah. Thanks dude.
Pros: Pizza tasted great, has vegan toppings.
Cons: Awful service. , Workers don’t really know what is/isn’t vegan.

Best Gatlinburg vegan option - Edit
Gatlinburg’s vegan game is WEAK.😭 It’s a vegan desert here and Mellow Mushroom is pretty much the only solid option for a warm vegan lunch.
Read moreThe menu is not marked for vegan options, so you have to customize your order to make it vegan.
1) I started with “I’m a vegan” and the staff helped me order from there. Thanks to a previous reviewer for suggesting this!
2) Specify vegan crust - some of their pizza crust contains garlic butter.
3) You can swap out any cheese for vegan cheese (they have Follow your Heart).
I got the VegOut pizza veganized, and it was satisfying. I love their pizza crust.
Cons: Very loud dine-in area

Good pizza! - Edit
They have a good amount of basic pizza options. The crust is thick and doughy here. Vegan cheese option is great addition. Very basic middle of the line, does the job.

The veg out with vegan cheese is fantastic! There is also a hummus appetizer with pita and cucumbers as well as a Greek salad (no feta). Mellow Mushroom is our favorite restaurant for ease of ordering and tasty vegan choices.

Had a pizza piled high with veggies and was able to sub out vegan mozzarella. It was great. The hummus plate was skimpy and the waiter inattentive but the pizza was worth it.

Great Vegan Pizza - Edit
Was with meat eaters and they were happy to go here so I could order vegan pizza. Do not know what other vegan options were on menu besides pizza because that is what I ordered. I ordered pizza with green olive, tempeh and follow your heart cheese. Very satisfied with vegan pizza!

Tourist Location, GREAT PIZZA - Edit
This pizza was so good we went a second time and ordered the same thing! The pizza crust is fluffy, great crisp under it, and cooked perfectly. The cheese was such a great texture, the toppings just the right amount! Each menu will be unique, so menus are best viewed at the location you’re at. Online ordering for build your own pizza and staple menu items is an option as well. Reading the menu is a little confusing; they list vegan options but don’t mark items as vegan, just vegetarian or “lacto-ovo” or gluten-free. You MUST customize your order for it to be vegan. Some pizzas have a buttered crust, so I found it easiest to start the order with the “I’m a vegan”. You can replace any cheese with Follow Your Heart mozzarella. Vegan speciality toppings include tofu and tempeh, but not a generous portion or seasoned particularly well.
Read morePros: Varied vegan option, Lacto Ovo/Vegetarian options, AMAZING pizza crust
Cons: Little expensive BUT tourist location , The music was loud

Ok location - Edit
It was my first time visiting mellow mushroom after driving by them multiple times. My first visit wasn't that pleasant. Our waiter hardly came by to check on us and you barely seen any workers besides the people at the front when you walked in. It was a very big restaurant and played really good music. They had 1 or 2 Vegan options besides your regular salad and fries deal. They had a lot of vegetarian options.
