Hit them on a good night and they can't be beat.: But I've found their good nights are harder to hit lately than ever. It seems like the pizzas are either undercooked (literally soggy in the center) or overcooked (blackened discs) more often than not. However, when they do come out right I think the crust is the best in town. Soft and bready with a light garlic butter flavor. The service can also be hit or miss. But when it all comes together it's a very nice pizza outing. It's just the variability that keeps me from going more often. Sidenote: the Holcomb Bridge location seems to be consistently good.

Used to be good . . .: Yes, Mellow Mushroom used to be good pizza. Then they went "corporate." It's not so good, anymore. Too bad.

It's pretty good: I enjoyed MM Pizza during my stay in the A. If you want real NY slices you have to go o Brickhouse Oven Pizzaria in Roswell off Atlanta St/ Alpharetta Hwy. Best slices in the state, guaranteed.

Turn your pizza into an 'experience': Not only is the pizza excellent, the atmosphere of this place makes eating your pizza even more fun than you've got a right to!

Best in the South: I grew up in NJ and lived in NYC and I had REALLY been missing a slice this good until I found MM in Augusta. Chunks of fresh garlic! Find THAT at your raggedy Dominos or Papa John's! Having about a thousand different beers from everywhere on earth doesn't hurt, either.

Depends: Mellow Mushroom is a small chain, so it depends on where you go. The MM on piedmont in downtown atlanta is VERY good. The one that was in the northlake area was terrible and dirty, but it got torn down and a new really good one came.

You've got to be kidding: Obviously those who think Mellow Mushroom is good pizza have no idea what good pizza actually is. I've had freezer pizza that tasted better. If you want good, authentic New York Style Pizza, you need to go to Mona Lisa located in Alpharetta.

No Fellinis?: MM isn't all that good. This is just another instance of people in atlanta gravitating toward shoddy chain food. The only pizza in Georgia I like all that much is Athens Pizza in Athens, GA.

We eat there twice a month. We like it.: The seats could be more comfortable. The kids are young that work there so the service is good consdering the teenage experience.

Great pizza: Pizza is great, and try the Greek salad...it is the best!

Chastain Road MM: The pizza is that good. Period. Lots of options, good salads, Vic will take care of you.

Yum: So, I've never been to the one in Atlanta but we have one in Nashville..and I've been to the one in Columbia,SC...the atmosphere is awesome..and their meaty pizza is awesome but..my fav. is their greek salad...mmm mmmm yummy

I have grown up going to Pizzaria Regina's in the North End. It is the best pizza ever! Thin crust with just enough cheese and toppings. They will tell you how it is there. If you a rude inconsiderate jerk, they will boot you out. You are on their turf! Now i want some really bad!! lol

Miss it!!: The best Pizza south of Chicago. After long searching for a decent pie, we came acrross a MM in Snellville. Can't eat any other pizza in GA .Try the majical mystery pizza, our personal favorite. Lucky we have on in Indiana now.

good stuff: they got a great line up of pizza and booze my kinda place

Great for pizza, beer, and sports on tv: The pizza is great for a little different taste. The atmosphere is fun and casual. The calzones are great too!

Mmmm Good: I always love to eat at Mellow Mushroom. Their crust is the best I've eaten. there is a good selection of vegetarian fare. The Kosmic Karma pizza is my favorite.

A big hit with the kids.: When the family gets together we can always please everyone here.

best ever in N.C: Our first outting in Ashville N.C. Some of my best friends said this was the place for pizza and great beer...say no more. It was!

the best in Atlanta: miss the 'shroom since I moved out of state!

Best Pizza: Mellow Mushroom pizza is so good it should be it's own food group.

great atmosphere: the best

Best Calzone ever!: I had the Calzone from Mellow Mushroom. And it was the best one I've ever tasted. It was huge. I ate it for lunch and dinner. I highly recommend it to anyone.

Best of the best: Always great pizza and good music.

very good: MM pizza is the best even when rocky brings it to rico

Another cookie cutter restaraunt: Even Pizza Hut beats MM. As far as MM being like NY pizza. So very not true. NY pizza isn't bland or chewy like MM. MM tends to think they can make "healthy" pizza taste good. Never happen. If you want to get as close to NY style in Georgia as possible. Any one of the "true" Italian places foot the bill. Personally we go to Biba's in Lawrenceville. The owner actually ran pizza joints in Brooklyn in the past, so he knows how to make a NY pizza. Down here though they will never get the crust the same as it seems to have something to do with the water or altitude.

It's okay: MM is okay, but if you want some good pizza go to Little 5 points and visit Little 5 pizza.. it's a fun atmosphere with crazy folks.. and it's really really good!

Okay for Georgia, but...: I grew up Italian in the Northeast, and finding pizza worth eating was next to impossible in the three years I lived off the Atlanta Highway between Atlanta and Athens. Mellow Mushroom was as good as it got down there, the crust was good but the sauce was bland and American-tasting. So good to be home again...

Not bad, but not the best: For a chain, they are pretty good, but working in a Data Center, we see their boxes at least 9 times a week. Athens Pizza is some fine pizza. Made by Italians and Greeks, at all of the ones I've seen, it really slaps MM around pretty good.

good stuff: try the white pizza or magical mystery tour pizza - mmmm good stuff!

Mellow Mushroom: We found the pizza excellent, but the service slow. I would recommend the pizza to anyone. Their vegetarian is outstanding.

It's Pretty Good: Everytime I go there I get a really good slice of pizza point blank no geographical comparisons no picky detailed scrutniy. Just a really great slice of pizza.

Real fresh toppings: Have I had better? Maybe, but not lately and not often. MM really stacks on the goodies. Sauce doesn't overwhelm and no purple pill needed later. Until they came to Baton Rouge, we didn't have a good pizza.

Great Pizza: Love their pizza. It is so fresh. They also have great salads. Fun place to take the whole family!

PERFECT!!!!!!: Mellow Mushroom is the best restaurant in town. There is no other comparasion.

Yum!: I really love MM pizza. The crust is just the right balance of chewy and soft and the toppings are fantastic. Fun atmosphere as well.

you should try Rosa's: Rosa's downtown atlanta on broad street is the best!!! I turned my cousin to it and the people who own it are very nice! Everything they serve is great as close to New York as you will get!! and the cheesecake?! To die for! Try Rosa's

Mellow Mushroom: Rosa's Pizza in downtown Atlanta is the best pizza I've had since I left Detroit. New York style to the fullest. And the lasagna ain't bad either.

Delicious pizza at a very reasonable price.: I really enjoy eating at the Mellow Mushroom. I realize this is an umbrella statement, but the food, service, and experience are all excellent. Best of all, this can all be had without taking out a second mortgage! I have been eating at the 'Shroom for a few months now and I can safely say it is the best pizza I have ever had. The toppings are fresh and plentiful and their soda cups are much larger than most people can drink. In addition to this, the service is excellent. The waiter I usually get knows me by name and gets excellent reviews from other people that dine there. However, it should be noted that beyond him and one or two others the service takes a downward turn. The Mellow Mushroom is also a good place to watch weekend sports as there are always a number of rabid fans to cheer along with (or laugh at!). The flipside to this is that during peak periods the restaurant can get quite loud. This can be annoying when you are eating with someone and you can't hear what they are saying! Overall, I would definitely recommend Mellow Mushroom to anyone who likes pizza. They have other items on their menu as well, but I never have the heart to order anything but a pizza when I go there!

The Best Pizza in the Atlanta Area: its just so good...

its the best: its a great place to work, hangout, eat, watch the game, pic up hott guys....its just great period. amazing atmosphere amazing pizza amazing ppl all in an amazing city...what more could you ask for?

MM: All i can say is YUM!!!!!! The magical mystery tour is my fav :)

Go somewhere else: The crust was soggy and the sauce was bland

The pizza and service were both terrible. I'll never eat there again. Terrible!!! Go to the northeast if you want real pizza

People Don't Know Pizza in Atlanta: MM is one of the worst slices I've ever had -- cheddar cheese on a large hunk of bread with ketchup. Fellini's is better, but unfortunately Atlanta does not have an authentic NY style pizzeria in town.

great pizza: nice pizza, slow but courteous service. all in all a good evening out.

Pizza OK: the sandwiches are the best thing about MM it is not the pizza

Truly the definition of overrated. Don't get me wrong. I'll eat there again, but it's just not above average pizza. It's average. I'd think of bumping it up a star for the environment, but other places are better.

its ok: the south rules but our pizza isnt that good, our bbq is much better so if ur in the great state of georgia eat bbq, not pizza

Educated Pizza.: Large # of college students which makes their Wed. night trivia competition a bit more interresting than most. The calzones are large and tasty but try the jerk chicken sandwich for a rare treat.

This place is high on my list: The pizza here is good. I love to order from here.

Savannah: Good pizza but if you're in Savannah go to Vinnie's in City Market.

It's good ... but not THAT good.: Ok, Mellow Mushroom pizza is definitely good. But, I don't think it's the best pizza in Georgia for sure. It basically tastes to me like the type of pizza that you find at every small chain. The crust was good but they basically bathed the thing in olive oil. So, yeah, try some barbeque instead if your down in Georgia. Now, that is GOOD!

Love that crust: Always consistent is what you can expect from this place. No matter which location you find yourself at, you can always count on the pizza being fresh and very appetizing.

Best tasting pizza: Mellow Mushroom is simply the best tasting pizza and the best atmosphere of any pizza place I've ever experienced.

MM Pizza: Moved here from Chicago and thought I couldn't find great pizza. MM is the best pizza in town!

best in the land of pizza!: We used to live in ATL and was spoiled by it, now we live west of Orlando and have to drive an hour to Winter Park, but the drive is sooo worth it!!!

One of the few places of Atlanta I miss the most.: Having lived in LaVista Valley for almost 8 years, it became a happy indulgence of my life to walk up the hill to buying a Large Pepperoni & Mushroom pizza from the place. Occasionally I would sit in with the college kids from Emory or the yuppies from Buckhead to soak in the local chat, and news. While I never ordered much other than perhaps pizza and a pitcher, they have a modest menu of other fast food-esque Italian-American food. Worth the money, the atmosphere, and of course, the stone ground dough....

While visiting Chamblee GA me and my boyfriend decided to try Mellow Mushroom finally after seeing it at other locations. The outside patio was huge and great for warm nights... we opted to sit inside. The inside atmosphere was not fancy by any means, not what you would expect with a cool name like Mellow Mushroom. We ordered a full chicken and cheese sub and a 10'' (4 slice) house pizza and two drinks. The total was $27.00. The food was pretty good tho. The service wasnt great but we may have just landed unlucky and got a waitress who was a dud. Overall, the mellow mushroom is a good place to go if you want good pizza and are sick of pizza hut.

the name has said it all!: I REGRET NOT GETTING BY ENOUGH

Not Bad: We have a MM here in Valdosta, Ga. Not only is it good pizza, but a weekend night spot in a college party town.

Such Good Pizza: The food is fantastic. When you get pizza from other places people usually don't eat the crust because it doesn't taste that great but at mellow mushroom the crust is delicious. The service is pretty fast and the people working there are extremly friendly.

Best of ..... Atlanta: Atlanta doesn't have a a lot of good pizza choices. But Mellow Mushroom stands out on its own, is unique and was a staple in my diet when I lived there for 3 years as a transplant

Always The Best: Without fail Mellow Mushroom delivers the best tasting, fresh, pizza here in the ATL. I have always tried to convince my friends that its worth the drive!

great pizza: great pizza at northpoint location

i start to love pizza here: I came from ukraine , and pizza is not so popular food there, but my husband loves it. So I have tryed several plases around Atlanta and Mellow Mushroom Pizza, I think one of the best.There is one more really good place but it is not in list here laura's pizza. Thank you!

Really good food: The MM in Lawrenceville, GA serves great pizza. Great crust, and I like the fact that you can opt for some healthy toppings. The chef's salad is great also!

Mellow is SO GOOD: Mellow Mushroom pizza has by far the best crust on any pizza. The pizza itself tastes amazing, but the crust is so good, I could eat just that for any meal. I love Mellow's crust!

MM is 'da BOMB!!: Both MM's in Snellville and Decatur are great!! Favorite pizza in the world!!

Great Pizza: The trains up on the ceiling are my favorite part! The pizza there is wonderful.

The BEST!!!: I went to church in Georgia with one of the gentlemen that started Mellow Mushroom, and I have not come across a better pizza place since. I am ALWAYS perplexed at the many individuals I encounter that complain about not finding New York pizza anywhere but in New York, my advice, go back to New York and leave the South to us! :) I love Mellow Mushroom, their wings are delicious too!

consistent quality: always tastes great and cooked perfectly

Mighty meaty....: They banga the dough....they throwa the dough....fresh ingredients and great beers on tap. Try the "Mighty Meaty"...it covers all the best meats if you like a slice that fills you up!!!

Absolute best pizza in town: Delicious pizza selections or build your own. You won't be disappointed. Don't forget the Greek salad. It is a Mellow must have.

the food there is GREAT! i loved the atmosphere the friendly service and the fact there ingredients are all made of te finest and healthiest products which really makes you feel good

best pizza!!: I love this pizza! I try to eat it as much as possible, I have craving for it! They have great fresh toppings and the dough is good! if u like good pizza, go there! I like right next to it and i go by whole foods to get some chips and im all good!

I thought they sold "magic" mushrooms: Those would likely improve the taste of their pizza. Then again, Mellow Mushroom comes from the state that calls spaghetti "sketti". Domino's and Papa John's are better choices if that the type of pizza you want. Otherwise, come to New York for a real slice.

Bad Business: There is a MM across the street from Grady high school and they quit serving slices at three, 15 minutes before the school gets out. Besides, their pizza is too expensive in comparison to the local competition. Go to Little 5 Pizza, Savage, Mashi's, or Fellini's.

Not bad but not the best: MM has been in Atlanta a long time and used to be a lot better when there were just one or two stores. Now it's very spotty. For the very best pizza take an afternoon drive to the GA mountains and visit Louies on the Lake on Lake Rabun. Louie is a native NY'er and serves the old timey NY pizza, the kind with the crunchy crust and the cheese that tastes like cheese.

Well-known chain with mediocre pizza: Ten years ago MM won a few readers polls for pizza in Atlanta but it has gone totally corporate, and meanwhile several pizza joints have open with a MUCH better product. Elwood's Pizza in Brookhaven has a better sauce, better cheese, better toppings, and a MUCH better crust. But if you just want to watch the game and get druck, go to MM.

It's better than Dominoes I guess: I've lived in Atlanta approximately seven months and one of my co-workers loved Mellow Mushroom. She brought it to work a couple of times and the best description I could come up with is; very average and bland tasting sauce." If you are an individual who doesn't like spicy sauce, you might have a completely different opinion. There are several better pizza establishments in the Atlanta area.

This list is whack!!: How come it doesn't include Fritti's in little five points? That is the pizzeria in Atlanta that comes closest to Lombardi's of New York in terms of taste. Mellow Mushroom is ok but it doesn't serve pizzas that melt in your mouth!!

The take out pizza I've ever had!: Too bad its not delivery, but its sure beats delivery pizza! Always hot and fresh at pick up and tastes great!

Consistently great: Consistently great

AWESOME HOAGIES: Mellow Mushroom is so awesome they have the best Hoagies in the world...

Was on Hilton Head Island, SC two weeks ago and wanted a quick meal before catching a movie. MM was in the same shopping center as the theatre so my wife and I stopped in for pizza. The pizza, and service, at MM - HHI was so great that we went back two days later (equally delicious pizza and outstanding service). The crust is incredible.

This was the best pizza we have ever had! We had the House Pizza (like a surpreme but better!) We had the stuffed portabella which was also great, the only thing better would be that there were two! Service was great and we will be back on our next visit to Decatur.

The best hoagies!!!: I lived in Georgia for about 5 months and ate at Mellow Mushroom several times. Now that I'm back in California, I really wish they would open one up here! I crave their hoagies and pizza all of the time! You lucky dogs that can eat there ... have one for me!!!

The best southern chain: Always a fun night out.

Im in Love: I love Mellow Mushroom. Their food is wonderful and the atmosphere is fantastic!!

Very Good Pizza: MM is one of the finest pizza joints I have been to south of Chicago. I highly recommend if you are in the area to give it a shot!

Good for southern style pizza: Since NY style is one of the most famous types of Pizza, there is really no comparing the two, Mello Mushroom is in a class of its own. Its true they do try to make a healthier pizza, but being a former manager for one, I know that there pizza is chocked full of calories just like the rest. Over all though its still the good pizza, just a bit on the expensive side.

MM is Good???: I think it is the worse tasting pizza I ever had. I would rather take a frozen one out before going there....I can't believe it's on this list and compared to NY pizza...that's an insult to northern pizza, especially NY.

It is ok: I loved Mellow Mushroom when I first moved here but now I am tired of it. There is this place in the Bronx, I can't remember the name but they have some of the best pizza I have ever tasted.

About Average-Certainly Not Super-Fantastic: I've eaten at several Mellow Mushroom locations, including Atlanta and Tuscaloosa. Not really impressed-crust is fair, quality of the food was not always comparable to authentic greek/italian pizzerias. Generally ok but you can do better for your money (assuming you have high standards).

yum: i live in nj and when i went to atl. i tried this pizza the store has really cool decorations too

Get a calzone: I have never actually had the pizza, but the calzones are great. One can definitely feed 2 ppl. I miss MM now that I live in MN. Oh, well, there's good pizza to be found everywhere.

Long time favorite: Their pizza has been my favorite for years and the atmosphere is great! Near Emory and Virginia-Highland.

unique: Good pizza, great greek salad, fun atmosphere

Best pizza in Atlanta: Basically the best place to go for pizza. Excellent food and great environment especially for a weekend dinner when your away from campus.

Mellow MM Mushroom: I eat there all the time.

We're hooked!: My husband took my daughter and I to Mellow Mushroom for the first time about a year ago. We all loved it. It was very appealing to our daughter, who is 5. She loved seeing all the mushrooms with arms and legs and friendly smiles everywhere! My husband and I both were very pleased with the service. Their pizza and calzones are sooooo delicious! It reminded me of a pizza restaurant that I used to go to when I was little. Now we go ther at least 2or 3 times a month. We're hooked!!!

love the calzone: good pizza great calzones

pizza heaven we can not waite to come back: We love the Mellow Mushroom The food is great and the staff is awesome.I am missing there Pizza in Korea,My co worker and i were talking just the other day about this place.I love that eveyone is them seves and unique.I love the shaved head pink haired waitress we had ,Can not get any better than this , Livin Lavteta Korea Yonsan Garrison ahn young ha sayo diana amneedah

Best pizza yet!: All I can say is you have to go and try it for yourself.

Mellow out at the Mellow Mushroom.....: There are a ton o' pizza places where you can get a slice, but the Mellow Mushroom is the only place where you can possibly find inner peace as well! Take a walk inside any MM and it will feel like walking into a 1960's hippy trip. The dress code is casual "come as you are", meaning you're welcome to enter as long as you're not nude with a shirt and shoes. Once inside pick your own table and have a seat. While surrounded by purple walls and a funky decor you will find the menu has a decent selection. From pizzas to calzones to hoagies to salads you will find each are on point. Picking your toppings will be a fun challenge as well as a healthy one. Some of their specialty pizzas are their Jerk chicken pizza with pineapples and their Mighty Meaty pizza with hamburger, bacon, pepperoni, ham and sausage. You just cant go wrong. They also have a BBQ pizza with chicken, onions and a zesty BBQ sauce and thats just the tip of the mushroom! On the more healthy side you can choose an all vegetable pizza with sun-dried tomatoes, onions, feta and provolone cheeses as toppings. You can also choose between tomatoe or 'white" sauce. They also have calzones stuffed with your choice of cheese, spinach, tomatoe, and mushroom, or meat calzones. With their hoagies you have over ten to choose from! And dont forget a a healthy salad along with pretzels. Mellow Mushroom uses only high quality ingredients such as low-fat mozzarella cheese; wheat germ flour; and premium meats that are low in fat. Vegetables are always fresh and all items are made to order (cept pretzels). Prices are moderate with a cheese calzone at $6.00 to a steak and cheese calzone at $8.00. Pizza by the slice start at $1.75 to a large pizza with five toppings feeding a crew of four people for under $21.00. So come on in a give the mellow guys at the Mellow Mushroom a try, its all peace and hair grease!

Awesome....: I have never been let down by mellow mushroom and I have been eating there for over 9 years. The food and ambiance creating an exceptional dining in or carrying out experience. The food is amazing, with toppings like artichokes and feta cheese crumbles, it beats anything you would get from national chain. Only drawback is that they do not deliver.

The best pizza place in town: It's open late, it's a 2 minute walk away, the service is always good and they have some nice beers to choose from. what's not to love?

Fantastic: This is one of the best Pizza places I've been to. The pizza is fantastic and the atmosphere is great as well.

I LOVE me some Mellow Mushroom!: Of all the things in Atlanta that I miss the most; Mellow mushroom was by far my favorite place to have pizza

Not the best in ATL: Marietta Pizza Company is much better. MPC has excellent airy crispy crust. MM crust is undercooked and tasteless.

mediocre pizza with mediocre taste: tastes like store bought pizza. Very bland. The crust is neither thick onr thin, which prefectly accentuates the blandness of the ingredients. If you like eating a warm salad on bread- eat here. If you crave the medley of ingredients that is pizza- look elsewhere.

Good for a Chain: I'm not a fan of chain resturants...but this is ok food. My favorite in Atlanta is a little bar named "The Elbow Room" in Buckhead that makes a to-die-for northern style pizza and only found this by a customer that found it by accident. My favorite closer to home is Capazzoi's in Marietta. Two brothers from Jersey that still call it a pie and still call a sub a grinder. After eating there, I cannot do a chain pizza anymore. I'd rather go to the grocery store and buy a $1.25 Jeno's frozen pie then do a chain pizza.

Mellow Mushroom?? The Best Pizza???: I don't know about that. I seem to remember a pizza joint called Godfather's Pizza and althoughwe no longer have the honor of having that establishment any longer......Mellow has a long long long way to travel if they can even come close to the Kingdom of Godfather's pizza!! Mellow mushroom is new here in Winston-Salem so that may be the reason people are swooning.....but I can get a Digorno's pizza and Mellow Mushroom pizza blindfold myself and would not be able to tell the difference.....plus i can save a lot more money with the frozen pizza.

Meh: Mellow Mushroom is all right, I suppose. The best pizza in the South is a little restaurant in Kingston, TN called "Mama Mia's." Mama's has fantastic pizza, amazing salads, out-of-this-world pasta, and greeeat sandwiches. It's a family-owned place and it shows that this place has been in business for decades!

Great pizza, good atmosphere, adequate service. If you go, you must like toppings - Mighty Meaty is excellent. Cheese Pizza - go elsewhere

Best Pizza in Atlanta: The best pizza, great greek salads!

amazing!: The first time I ever had Mellow Mushroom pizza was on Hilton Head Island in South Carolina. I have a few friends who live there and they took us for pizza one day and I was blown away. The crust is amazing. Its got such a good flavor. The sauce is also excellent! I now own myself a Mellow Mushroom t-shirt thanks to their fantastic pizza. Try it sometime. You won't be disappointed.

To ScottJ: First of all scottj, you must be from up north so if you want "new york style" pizza I suggest you go back to "new york." Mellow Mushroom is not a new york style pizza establishment, nor have they advertised to be. And I do believe it originated in Atlanta. So before you give a fine establishment a very negative review, you should get your facts straight. Mellow Mushroom is some of the best pizza I have ever eaten. Not only the pizza, their menu consists of great salads, hoagies, and most have an international beer list a mile long. For those of you looking for the best MM experience, head to 309 King Street Charleston, SC.

Great Pizza: The MM here in Foley, AL is really good. The crust is what makes these pizzas. Great beer selection too, just wish they still carried Harp's on draft.

LOVE IT!!!: The MM was one of the first places I ate when I first moved here to G-ville FL. The slices are huge and you could eat for a week with the size of the calzones!!! Its up there with I love NY pizza also here in Gainesville!!!

The pretzels (I had the parmesan) were so doughy and yummy and I enjoyed dipping them in the tomato sauce. The pizza (I had it by the slice) was delicious - the crust was just how I like it - doughy and kinda sweet. There are so many...

This pizza place was the bomb ......Quality service excellent food and i loved the atmosphere in the restaruant the most. I am defiently going back here every chance i get

Had a pizza with green pepper mushrooms pineapple. The pizza had no flavor or sauce and I was charged $1.25 for each item. Good atmosophere because of the surrounding bars and very attentive staff but I'm sorry to say that had to be the...
