I brought my 8 year old and 7 of her friends to Mellow Mushroom in Blacksburg, VA on Saturday, February 21st. We walked in, without a reservation, and Alexis greeted us with such joy and excitement when she realized it was someone birthday! Alexis chatted with us as she sat us at our booth and asked questions of the birthday girl. She even came back over and gave my daughter a birthday hat she made. My group of 8-9 year olds enjoyed the pizza and atmosphere. 10/10 to Alexis for showing high quality hospitality and making my daughter feel excited special on her birthday.

We always stop at Mellow Mushroom when we are traveling. This location did not disappoint! We were seated quickly upon arriving. The hostess was very friendly and smiling. Our waitress arrived quickly, chatted with us and was super friendly. She took our orders for drinks and food. We sat out on the patio and enjoyed a beautiful evening. I ordered the peach margarita and hubby got a bud light. Both were served quickly. I ordered the Holy Shiitake and husband ordered the buffalo chicken pizza. Both arrived quickly and were piping hot. Both tasted outstanding! The atmosphere was fantastic, restaurant was clean, servers were top notch. Thank you for a great meal!

Well since. Google maps won’t shut up with a pop-up it’s about doing a review. I’ll do this review. Which I was hoping to avoid and just forget about what happened. The place with practical empty. It took 40 minutes to get my medium pizza with a few toppings. Had a couple of slices went back to my bed and breakfast by midnight I was puking my guts out in feverish. And that’s the only place I ate at all day. Thought it might be something in the air got up 10:00 a.m. the next morning still feeling a bit under the weather. Try it another piece had a few bites got sick again. Never again will I said put in a mellow mushroom. My cat says they forgot to actually put my order in and then rushed it and didn’t properly prepare it

Had a great time. Was passing through the area on a road trip and we popped in here.
Service with Kurt was wonderful. He was very personable and made it an enjoyable experience.
Additionally, I have a gluten allergy and it’s always a little scary ordering at a pizza place. However, he and their precautions made me feel very safe. GF pizza was yummy.

I will start with Mellow Mushroom has been a restaurant I look for when traveling. This time in this location, it was a huge disappointment. I noticed a pattern of bad reviews on Sunday nights. Maybe that was the issue. When we arrived (5:30 p.m.), we waited over 5-10 minutes for the hostess to just appear. No one was greeting us or saying hi. Another group of 3 was waiting too. No sign was there except to wait to be seated. Then the hostess came rushing back apologetically and breathless. She then began to seat people. Once seated, it took 5-10 minutes for the waitress to appear and bring drinks (5:50). She took our orders . We then saw her about 25 minutes later (6:15). At that point, the medium mighty meaty pizza had arrived nice and hot. Our son was two pieces in. She asked if we were ok but rushed off before we could ask for him to get a refill. So, we have been in the restaurant 45 minutes and have one pizza, dropped by another person who then ran off quickly. We have no idea when the other two are coming – two gf house pizzas. Our son had now eaten half his pizza (mostly what he was going to eat), and our pizzas are sat down in front of us. It is now 6:25. We ask for our son to get his refill. The girl who brought all the pizzas said she will find the waitress. The pizzas have raw veggies on top and are warm to cool. The waitress appears with new drinks for everyone. We explain that the pizza is not hot and ask if she can reheat the pizzas. My husband and I are 50 and have never sent food back to the kitchen, but it was that bad. She could put the pizza pans on her hand because they were so cool. She says they were ready first so they must have cooled down. She passes a few minutes later and I explain that we had just gotten the pizzas so they had been sitting somewhere. She says she will talk to the manager. Our son is done with his pizza so I suggest we leave and try to find food elsewhere. 6:35 – we finally get the pizzas back – they are very crisp (can’t cut with a knife and fork) and my husband’s is burnt on top. We are not eating 20 minutes after our son who is not done. We ask for the check. The manager never comes to talk with us. The waitress returns with the check at 6:45. She is apologizing but only agrees to take one gf pizza off the bill. We eat the pizza as best as we can. She runs the credit card. We put my son’s leftovers in a box and leave at 6:55. What is the use of refills if the waitress does not come by to pay attention to our drinks. We say three waitresses and their tables were never together. They were running different places. The restaurant was not full. Where were our gf pizzas when we did not have them? Where was the manager?

1st time here yesterday. Great server named TOMMI. She was very friendly, attentive & fixed a couple of issues I had with seating. Delicious pizza!! I was disappointed that a female manager walked by my table 5 or 6 times yet never acknowledged me the way I saw her speaking to other guests. Odd. Loved the ambience. The guy who looks like Shaggy (lol) was super friendly. I will be back.

New Steak pizza was the bomb! Delicious! Meaty pizza great as always. Meatball hoagie was very good. Ritz burger was underwhelming. Wings were a little over done. Got attentive and friendly service by server and manager.

I’ve had this pizza before, and I thought it was really fantastic, so I was pretty excited to try it again
Most of the pizza was pretty similar to the last time I’ve had it.
This starts with the olive oil and garlic base – which I prefer over the traditional red sauce base for pizzas
When going with this option, the pizza gets an oily, buttery, flavor that tastes really good – with an additional garlic flavor
I did think it could be thicker – as the pizza did seem to be a bit on the thinner side. All three of the cheeses tasted pretty good
but maybe there could’ve been more of it
Moving on to the toppings, my favorite part by far was the mushrooms. These were just fantastic – cooked well,
combined great with the olive oil base, and were really soft and juicy. The rest of the toppings weren’t super noticeable, however,
as I didn’t taste the onions/chives that much
I do have to mention how good the garlic aioli swirl was – it just adds that slight extra bit of oil/garlic flavor but only in certain spots
The part that strongly disappointed me here was the crust
When I’ve had the pizza before – it’s been fantastic – but this time it was incredibly chewy and barely even edible. My jaw was in pain
from chewing after finishing the crust on my very first slice. If not for this being the case in every slice of the pizza I had, I would’ve given
this a really high score, but the crust being so bad drags this down overall significantly. Not sure what happened in this case – but I somewhat
considered sending the pizza back due to it
For the price, this won’t beat national chains like Dominos, and I do think (certain) options at Dominos are better, but compared to other foods
it’s still a good enough price for a full meal
Overall, excellent pizza marred by an awful crust. 7.5/10

Came in for lunch after an appointment. We were seated promptly by Katie. She was super sweet and attentive. We ordered the pretzel bites as an appetizer. The beer cheese was tasty. My husband ordered a pepperoni and cheese pizza and I had the Holy Shittake pizza. I don’t eat pizza very often. Not a huge fan, but I could eat theirs everyday. We will most definitely be going back.
