We had an awesome experience at the Mellow Mushroom on The Island in Pigeon Forge. The food was fantastic — fresh, hot, and full of flavor. The pizzas were perfectly cooked with that signature crust, and everything tasted top-notch.
The atmosphere is fun and energetic, with a great view of all the action happening around The Island. Service was friendly and quick, even with how busy the area can get. It’s a perfect spot to relax, enjoy good food, and still feel part of the excitement outside.
Whether you’re stopping in for a family meal, hanging out with friends, or grabbing a bite during your visit to The Island, this location is absolutely worth it. Highly recommend!

My initial experience with Mellow Mushroom in my hometown was not satisfactory. However, due to my youngest child’s preference for pizza and our presence on the island, I decided to revisit the establishment. I found the pizzas at this particular location to be exceptionally well-prepared, flavorful, and delicious. Furthermore, the individual who processed our order exhibited a remarkably cheerful demeanor, which facilitated a smooth and pleasant ordering process.

This place is great! The staff is friendly, the food is delicious, and the atmosphere is chill. My husband and I got a 10inch veggie pizza and it was so good! It had a bunch of toppings, the cheese pull was crazy, and the sauce was the perfect amount. We also shared a Ceasar salad and it was yummy. It was the perfect amount of food to share between the two of us. The manager was so nice and came and talked to us! I would definitely recommend going here!

Overpriced pizza, and horrible. It’s the kind of pizza where the cheese is thick and almost chokes you. I tried to scrape it off with a knife and it was essentially fused with the bread. Remember back in high school (80s for me) and the pizza had that thick white cheese? That’s pretty much it.
If you like New York style, you’ll hate this. The crust isn’t even good. Nothing crisp or tasty about it.
Hard pass… except I wasted $35 after taxes.

My husband and I came here after the blue moose let down. SO Glad we did. We really wanted pizza after running around the Island, and my husband loves the mellow mushroom. They got rid of the bruschetta pizza, so I was a little disappointed about that but the guy at the counter advertised the taco ultimate pizza . So I had decided to go for it. Needless to say, The taco ultimate pizza was outstanding!! Me and my husband ordered two pizzas. He likes the white mushroom pizza, and I had decided to get the taco ultimate. Such a great choice. It was bursting full of robust, unique flavors, especially the cilantro.
We also ordered the Taco Ultimate Queso dip, so Robust, Thick and the Bread dippers compliment it SO WELL. (again, they got rid of the spinach artichoke dip-sad)
They took our order when it was close to closing, and we were able to eat outside plenty of seating. The people were nice. We only waited around 15-20 minutes. They brought the pizza out to us and it was scorching hot.
Our little guy enjoyed the pizza so much!! They let us sit outside the Restaurant even past closing time as we got to Enjoy our meal and spend time with one another without being rushed.
The Place was Clean and had a great Vibe to it. Both inside and outside parts!!
LOVE LOVE LOVE THE TACO ULTIMATE PIZZA!!
Thanks so much!!
And OF COURSE, we will be back…We are Locals!

Food was good, but cool in the center, like the ingredients were cooked awhile back .Employees are completely useless at this location. You collect your own food, you collect your own drinks and put up your own stuff. You even gather your own go boxes. There’s no purpose in the staff here. They were completely unaffected by having customers. The guy behind the counter with the headphones on could not be bothered by us.
And it was $40 for 2 calzones.

Mellow Mushroom on The Island is hands down the best pizza I have ever had. The quality is immediately apparent. High quality ingredients, expertly made artisanal pizzas, and a broad range of styles that are all executed extremely well.
I ordered the Great White pizza customized without onions or tomatoes, and it was phenomenal. The customization was handled perfectly, and the balance of flavors was spot on, proving the kitchen pays real attention to detail rather than treating modifications as an inconvenience.
The staff here are on another level entirely. Service was exceptional across the board, with genuine effort, attention to detail, and a level of care that goes far beyond what you expect anywhere, let alone a busy tourist area. Easily the best staff in Pigeon Forge.
Every part of the experience felt intentional and well run, from ordering to food delivery to overall atmosphere. If you are dining here, ask for Tim and get a shot of Malört.
Between the food and the staff, this place sets the bar extremely high and is an absolute must stop.

We love Mellow Mushroom! We had not eaten at a Mellow Mushroom in 10 plus years! We were happy to find that the quality of the food was still great, and the pizza super tasty. We came to the Pigeon Forge Island location and were worried there would be a long wait with it being the Holidays but found there was less than a 5-minute wait to order our food. Once we ordered our food at the counter, we sat down and our food came out in about 5 minutes which was impressive. The pizza was amazing, and the salad very fresh. The only cons we experienced was that the ranch was not very good, and the pizza did not have much sauce (which was a huge win for our picky eater, but not so much of a win for the rest of us). The food all still tasted good and we found the pizza was better with no ranch than with. Would definitely come back! The pizza received a 10/10 for the cheese pull from our kids!

Amazing time, when I mean this was packed it was packed full of people. We have been to 3 locations for mellow mushroom (2 tampa/clearwater,FL & St Augustine). This one was by far the best, we had a larger group of close to 10 people. We walked up (5-10 min wait) ordered and food was out fast. On top of that the food was way better then any of the other locations we have gone too. Sitting having a couple drinks while the kids did the rope course beside was a plus plus.
