This is the best place for pizza in raleigh. Unfortunately everyone knows it, just try to get in on a Friday night. The parking is terrible there but the food more than makes up for it once you get it. This place is overrun with college kids though. Pros: Pizza Cons: Crowded, Parking

There's a lot to look at on the walls, etc. Cool hippie mama type waitresses. Basically like most Mellow Mushroom's--not the coolest/biggest one I've ever been to though. Best time to go is in the Spring/Summer when you can sit outside on the patio. Eat a salad with Esperanza dressing, or just dip your pizza in it. It's SO tasty! Decent pizza...Lily's is still the best pizza in Raleigh though. Pros: Nice outdoor patio, Esperanza salad dressing! Cons: The parking lot is REALLY tiny, but that's to be expected for the location

Used to think it was great but the food quality has been really off lately. Undercooked pizza and a calzone that was only recognizable as a calzone because it said that's what it was on the menu. Good atmosphere but ratchet up the quality of the food preparation. Too many misses.

I've been going to the Mushroom for 3 years, as do many coworkers in downtown Raleigh. I love their pizzas and salads. Service is pretty good most of the time. Even when I ordered at the counter for takeout it was fast. I love the outdoor patio for nice weather and people watching. I'll keep going back -I highly recommend the place. Quite a variety of patrons, college students, business people, moms with young ones at lunch. The only bad thing is that you can't get slices at dinner, only available at lunch.

This place was hopping when I went. I'm not sure what all of the fuss was over. Our Pizza was a crust with butter on it and a pool of goo in the middle resembling cheese. People I talk to say it's heavy and I'd have to agree. When that goo entered my stomach I was regretting it for sure. Lots of nice beers on tap though and a cool patio. I wish the food didn't make me feel so bad :) Pros: Fun Place Cons: Food

Very cool, theres a ton of things I can order here, being a vegetarian. I really love the Tempeh subs, and the mega veggie pizzas. A cool tip for if you are eatin out on a buget is to order the hummus w/ pita wedges with a side of sprouts, tomatoes, banana peppers and onions. That way u can make lil veggie pita sandwiches! Fun! Also, thru Raleigh Take Out dot Com, u can order from them to be DELIVERED right to your house, and avoid the wait! Super awesome! Pros: Get it DELIVERED! Cons: Sometimes a lil pricey!

This place has some of the best pizza you will find in Raleigh.. I love the fresh ingrediants and the crust is to die for. My friends and I always look foward to our regularly scheduled trip to Mellow Mushroom. The staff always seems friendly and accomodating. They are really great for groups as we go as a large group as well as a good family atmosphere. You have a choice to sit inside.. on a covered patio, or on a open canopy patio as traffic drives by. Pros: food, service, promptness, quality Cons: beer prices, parking

The one good thing I can say about the Mellow Mushroom is that the atmosphere is terrific. The outdoor patio on Peace Street is prime for people-watching. I just wish the food was as good. The crust is bland and flavorless and the selection of pizzas is that same as you would find in any pizza joint. The worst part of the experience was the service. Our waitress was more concerned with chatting with friends than to bother getting our drinks and then brought us the wrong pizza and gave ours away, so we had to wait for another pizza! If the food was better, this might have been overlooked as a waitress having a bad day, but coupled with disappointing food, it did not inspire a return visit. Pros: Great seating Cons: bland food, bad service
