Mellow Mushroom has returned to Charlotte and they are now open in Myers Park, across the street from Yoforia on Selwyn Ave.
The psychedelic-colored restaurant is fun and family friendly. With a big patio, booth tables, tables in buses (see photo below), and a bar area, the restaurant can seat quite the crowd.
Flat screen TVs can be found scattered around the restaurant, along with bobble-head style mushroom figurines.
On my visit on Tuesday night, my party was seated promptly and there was no wait. A bit worried I'd eat my hand off before our order of garlic Parmesan pretzels ($4.50 for a half order of 3 pretzels) made it to the table (the menu said they take 20 minutes), I was pleasantly surprised when they arrived in just 10-15 minutes.
The Mega Veggie 14-inch pizza was large enough to feed at least three people, I'd say. Topped with a ton of hefty toppings, the pizza was easier to eat with a fork and knife than to pick up and eat. The crust isn't too thin or thick, but the edges were nice and chewy.
In addition to pizza, their menu offers salads, sandwiches, calzones and more.
The service was friendly and the food was delicious.
Welcome back to Charlotte, Mellow Mushroom!
