Mellow Mushroom makes a seriously delicious pizza. This is a photo of their Mighty Meaty. There is a generous amount of toppings, a proportional amount of tomato sauce, a gooey and high quality cheese and the crust soft and chewy. I’m not so much a fan of their prices though. For a small pizza, this came at a steep price. As I did a carry-out, the parking situation at this establishment needs to be better. There were absolutely zero parking spaces available. I had to park in the adjacent parking lot for a nearby strip mall.

Been coming here for years and the last couple years this place has gradually declined in productivity the food is sloppy and the service is inconsistent. Chuck should be ashamed of how his work environment is the way his employees act I've been noticing they just don't seem to care anymore is there even discipline in this place I would say not Ive had a couple times where my food was messed up waited for it to be remade just for them to mess that one up too quite ridiculous I don't think me and my wife will be coming here anymore we will be going to the one in Sanford from now on. I heard his one location near UCF closed and I'm sure his other ones will soon close too sad to say use to love this place! Guess Chuck is just riding the wave till he retires or goes bankrupt cause if my employees acted the way they do I would of fired everyone....

This is our family's favorite pizza restaurant, and we have been coming here since it opened in 2004. However, this was the first time we experienced issues with the service at the Winter Park location. I love the garlic parmesan chicken wings and order them every time, but on this visit, the staff failed to bring a fresh plate even though the original one was messy from the chicken. They only brought one after I asked, and despite there being two of us, they brought a plate just for me—and it didn't arrive until several minutes after the pizza had already been served. Also, the air freshener in the restroom had an unpleasant scent that made me feel sick.

Food was amazing and the service was spot on, never once had to ask for drink refills! Great vibe

I don't normally go out of my way to leave reviews but my goodness the food is OUTSTANDING. everything is made fresh, lovely staff and fair pricing. Appetizers cost around $9-10 and entrées are around $15-20; pizzas depend on the size you get. The size of the pizzas are also very nice! A small is still enough for left overs if you're eating for one because the food is very filling. My personal favorite is the Great White pizza and the Bruchetta appetizer. Very nice stop if you're hungry!

The crust of a Mellow Mushroom pizza us amazing.
-
I don’t usually write reviews, but this experience has been brutal. This was one of the worst pizzas I’ve ever been served. The cheese literally detached from the pizza and slid off in a single sheet when I picked up a slice. A pizza joint should at least be able to get the cheese to stick to the pizza. The crust was thick, tough, and overly greasy, and the overall pie was poorly constructed. Looking at it, it was obvious something went wrong during preparation. For the price, this was completely unacceptable. First and last time.
-
Interesting atmosphere, and friendly staff. I love the Holy Shitake Pizza made with mushrooms. Sandwiches are good. It's worth a visit.
-
Great food as all mellow mushroom, but a little smaller place and waiters not as attentive with how dead they where
-
SuperPep pizza sooooo good.
-
Pizza is awesome. Great selection of beers. Service is great. Very busy location, so expect a wait at peak times, I think. But overall a great place for pizza and beer.
-
Very tasty Pizza. Much higher quality than the big chain pizza restaurants. Of course, it is fairly pricey, which is the biggest draw back to going to MM.
-
Sampled three different pizzas. Truffle mushroom white pizza, pepperoni and hot peppers, and a sausage and onion. I hate to say it, but it's on par with frozen pizza. I'm sure there are people out there who may disagree, but was underwhelmed all the way around.
-
Kathy is wonderful! Cute spot in Winter Park, very chill spot. Their Kosmic Karma was especially good (pictured with the pesto). The small pizzas are plenty for one person, too. I could even split one. I definitely recommend stopping by here to try some good pizza with a silly vibe!

Had to change my review due to bad service today the bartender told me to calm down for no reason 🤦🏻♂️smh

Ordering from Mellow Mushroom was a terrible experience. The food we received was ice cold, The food was refrigerator cold, and the rolls weren't cooked; the inside was completely raw dough unsafe for human consumption. It was truly awful. I will not be ordering again, especially considering the very high price point for the food. Terrible, terrible, terrible.

Ever since we came here after writing jet skis all day this is our family's go to spot! When we take friends out on the lake we have to end the day with mellow Mushroom. Hands down the best pizza. The cheese and pepperoni alone will satisfy you however getting the Pacific Hawaiian is a GAME CHANGER. Delicious. Always the best service.
-
The staff is so kind and helpful with accommodating allergies. Pizza is delicious! I highly recommend trying out the vegan cheese on a pizza —it’s creamy and so good.
-
The Maui Wowie is fantastic! Everything is always good ands we have a family member with Celiac and this is one of the few good restaurants that has a truly segregated GF kitchen area.
