Mellow Mushroom

When we are traveling in the south, we love finding Mellow Mushrooms. The mega veggie pizza with Daiya is our staple and we are never disappointed! We also love the hummus. Every mellow mushroom is well versed in vegan friendly options, this one was no exception.

Want to eat out and go for pizza with your meat eating friends? This is where you will want to go. It's the only place around I know of that can make a vegan pizza without asking to omit the cheese. They also have gluten free crust. But be warned, if you go gluten free, vegan cheese, and start adding vegetables on the pizza for toppings, the price will go up pretty quick. I didn't go crazy and ended up with an $18 pizza!

My husband loves this place but I have to say that I just like it - mostly because I was never a fan of "regular" pizza. I like gourmet pizza and thin crust types where I can really taste the toppings more than the bread. However, if you are in that category or just like all sorts of pizza, it really is a good place considering it has vegan cheese and TONS of toppings and you can eat with non-veg friends as well. They offer outdoor seating as well as indoor so all around, a good choice for an informal get-together.

We ordered a medium sized pizza half cheese/half tofu-artichoke, for $14.00 it was well worth the price... this place draws folks from all age groups and all backgrounds. It was clean and very busy, (I'm sure being Saturday night helped) Having our roots in Chicago, we know a good pizza, and this was good... especially the crust, our kids even ate it, soft and chewy, not dry and hard like so many other places. We also noticed how good the hot sandwiches looked as they breezed by the table, If only I knew how this place got such an abnormal name, I'm sure there is a good story behind it.

I crave their tempeh pizza with broccoli and artichoke hearts even 2 years after I've moved from Orlando. Great beers and the staff will offer some great recommendations. If you're vegan, remember to ask for no butter on the crust!

Some of the friendliest staff ever!!! Because of this and the awesome pizza (they'll make a pizza with hummus instead of sauce!) we come there so much they made us a heart-shaped pizza. Some of the best hummus I've had! Their hoagies are pretty good, but not my first choice. Sometimes they have vegan cheese, it just depends on what they get in every shipment. Just ask! I love the Mellow Mushroom! I would give it a 5 if I could.

The best pizza you will ever have. My bf and myself go there all the time and order the vegan mega veggie, hoagies, and hummus dip. Just make sure you tell them no butter, no feta, and no parm. to make sure you get the vagan version.
