It's a Mellow. If you know their pizza, their vibe, and their service, then this is exactly what you expect from them. Solid pizza and a good chill time.
The Mellow Mushroom offers interesting pizzas in addition to traditional pies. It's also a fun place with cool atmosphere that plays off the Beatles Yellow Submarine song. We started with the Pretzel Bites, which we got for free by signing up on their website. The bites were more like pizza ends. For pizzas: We enjoyed the Kosmic Karma, which reminds me of an elevated Margarita Pizza, with pesto replacing basil leaves. We also had the Steakhouse Pizza, which contained steak, mushrooms, peppers, onions on a garlic and olive oil base. As a group of four, both pizzas were plenty for our table, and we took some home. Pies are more expensive than at a neighborhood pizza joint, but you're paying for creative food and a neat place to eat. The Mellow Mushroom is located in the Colonial Williamsburg area across from William & Mary, so it's always busy. We were lucky to get a table on a Tuesday evening in early December. Parking is nearby in the city's lots, and you can get 2 hours free by using Passport Parking in some lots, like the one on Francis Street.
We have been going here for three years, went last night with three year-old grandson, grandma and grandpa... Brittany was our server and so pleasant and so efficient and really wonderful to our grandson and us throughout the meal. The food was great we highly recommend the meatballs. We are never disappointed and I am Italian American and very fussy... We also had a mushroom sausage pizza which was very good. Plenty of food served at a timely manner. Highly highly recommend.
Ate here again this past Saturday evening and it was busy but we still had good service and good food! Our food did not take too long for a busy night and our server made sure we had what we needed throughout the evening. Sat inside and it was loud but to be expected on a Saturday night. Booths and tables and fun wall art adorn the place. Food: Wings- very good Gluten crust pizza- also very good! Thin crust pizza- first time trying it and I really enjoyed it! Not too thin like a cracker but had little bit of a bite to it. Salad- very generous size for the large. Split it between 3 people. Regular crust pizza- also very good!
Fantastic Experience! Amazing food and outstanding customer service! Every aspect of my visit exceeded expectations. I highly recommend this place and will definitely be coming back!
Holy moly was I glad my husband asked us to have lunch here , he was so right this place was amazing . The ambiance alone was fun and inviting and funky , they had like a half car , they had a mini construction site it was definitely fun. Now let's get to the food. We got the mighty meat pie no ground beef and unfortunately they made a mistake and added the ground beef so what they did was shocking they not only discounted our check they also brought us a new pie . The accommodation towards there customers has earned them a customer for life . My little son had the kids pretzels which arrived with 2 large pretzel sticks and dipping sauce . Everything and everyone at this location was perfect . We would 100% go back !!! Oh and the best part to feed a family of 4 with drinks was under $50 so it's definitely worth going !
This is always going to be one of my must-visits when I come to Williamsburg. I have loved this joint ever since I was a kid, and am always pleased. That said, I haven't been to the actual restaurant in many, many years. We were NOT disappointed. We came around 4:15 pm, and the wait to be seated inside was 45 minutes - so we sat outside, which had no wait. (Keep in mind, we came on the 4th of July.) The outside area is really lovely, with plenty of fans whirling that kept us cool. Moving on to drinks and food, I had two of the lavender groove lemonades, spiked, per the recommendation of our lovely waitress. We split a lil' Greek salad, pretzel bites with the spicy beer cheese, and then two small half & half pies - one with buffalo chicken and funky Q, and then one with half the Marley and half Holy Shitaake. The only pizza that was new to me was the Marley - a jerk chicken pizza. It was incredible. The rest of them are ones I had before- but I was introducing my partner to the deliciousness that is Mellow Mushroom, hence all the half & halfs. In my opinion, the Holy Shitaake reigns supreme but the Marley was a close second. I would skip the pretzel bites next time as they filled us up a bit before the pizzas, leaving us less room for pizza. We had plenty of leftovers. Service was great - our waitress was attentive and just really lovely, despite how busy it was. I appreciated her recommendations and everything went great. The wait times may seem intimidating, but I promise it's worth it.
After a full tourist day in Jamestown and colonial Williamsburg, the Mellow Mushroom called our name- our pizza crave was huge and the restaurant was conveniently located. We were seated immediately (asked for a booth), and the menu had great options and choices- they def offer dairy free cheese, which was a plus in my book. We shared: Regular classic salad without cheese- good size. Loved their dressing options- tried the champagne vinaigrette (two sweet for my liking) and the balsamic- fabulous, great flavor! Medium thin crust pizza with sausage, mushroom, artichoke, and dairy free cheese. Flavors were on point- the sausage was excellent. Although the crust was cooked properly, it was too soft. I had to eat slices folded up. Be sure to check in on YELP for a free appetizer - -pretzel bites. A large plate of warm pretzel dough pieces topped with Parmesan and a side of dipping sauce. Yummy! Our server was sweet and checked in on us frequently. FYI- they do offer military discount, don't hesitate to ask.
Relaxing and casual atmosphere, pizza is great (thin crust), calzone is huge, bruschetta is delicious and beautifully presented; everything is reasonable priced. I highly recommend: the magic mushroom soup-you can't get it anywhere else. Topped with melted cheese and more mushroom. It's warm and creamy, great for a cold day. If you come on the weekend, prepare for 20-30 minutes wait. But once you are seated, service is fast. Parking can be a bit difficult around this area.
