January 31, 2026 - When traveling and you’re looking for good pizza . . . stop and try “ Mellow Mushroom’s” pizza! 🍕 Our first time stop ( Lynchburg, VA) at one of the 160 locations of Mellow Mushroom . . . 🍄 This organization started in Atlanta , GA back in 1974! Over 50 years later, expanded in 17 states east of the Mississippi River! Wasn’t crowded, the decor caught my eye! Maybe folks know of “ the healing properties” of magic mushrooms? ( wink 😉) Looks like a fun place, good size bar, several strategically placed TVs around the restaurant, for those who like to catch their favorite sports team in action! 😃👍 Our server, Wendy, handed us several colorful menus . . . convinced us of the freshness of a Greek style salad ! I was impressed with the beer selections ! I asked Wendy if the bar tender could fashion a “ black & tan” ? No problem! After enjoying our Greek salad, Wendy asked if we liked to order an entree? We prefer a relaxed dining routine. . . sometimes when placing a salad & pizza order both items arrive at the same time! So we place our pizza order after finishing our salad. . . gives us time to talk politics & religion😳 , and our Grandkids ! 👍👍 Our pepperoni pizza , half with onions arrived 10 or 12 minutes later ! Pizza enthusiasts will immediately notice the style of pizza 🍕 to be a combination of style between a thin Neopolitan pizza & thicker crust pizza. I liked the fresh chewy dough, and extra cheese ! The sauce could use a bit more zesty seasonings , hey that’s just me. Overall a very good pizza , thank you! 🙏 Kudos to founders of Mellow Mushroom Mike Nicholson, Rocky Reeves, and Richard Brasch in 1974 ! You tag line on the wall offers positive vibes for daily adventures: “A day without laughter is a day wasted!” 😃👍

Pizza was delicious. Service was great. Bootsy was our server snd he was great. Bobby, the manager, took care of some issues we had like a pro. We really appreciate his kindness. Our family of four had a very good experience. We had the Mighty Meat and The Prankster. Both really good with The Prankster being a good surprise.

This Mellow Mushroom location is super cute and a total vibe! I love how each location is unique with its decor but the consistency is in its food and service! They even have vegan options which our family seriously appreciates! I was recently there for a holiday party a the atmosphere was perfect. There Grinch Christmas decorations everywhere, a diverse group of guests and families, and just positive energy. Plus it’s a locally-owned franchise, so I love supporting neighbors. There is something here for everyone! The entire family will love it. Best part … the crust!!!! Sorry, I didn’t take pictures of the spread of food that was on the table…. It was that good!
