YUMMY CRUST! While it's a chain restaurant, I've always loved the crust at Mellow Mushroom! This location in Asheville did a great job supporting the local community during the aftermath of hurricane Helene. That alone gives it extra stars in my book. I went again recently to support them while they still have a limited menu (due to water supply issues in town) and the pizza was still absolutely delicious!!! Come support this awesome location, nestled downtown with a cute patio.

Stopped in for a quick bite before concert at Civic center. Mary was a friendly and helpful server. Enjoyed and shared large Caesars salad and Cobb salad. Tasty blue cheese dressing. Pizza was half mushroom and chicken BBQ. Everyone enjoyed the pizza and crust. Quiet location with no distractions. Good assortment of beverages.

The pizza is very good and the portion size is great. We both got the size small and it's 4 large pizza slices on a plate. The servers are pretty friends. The atmosphere is beautiful outside and inside. There is nice music playing, but It's not overwhelmingly loud which is good.

Mellow Mushroom is pretty much the best for chain pizza. This store in Asheville was one of the best I've been to. Impeccable service from Philo from beginning to end. He was outstanding! Started off with a nice Pisgah pale ale. Very good beer! I love it when you get stuff for checking in. This Mellow Mushroom gave free pretzel bites for checking in, and they were so good. We ordered a large Holy Shitaki and were not disappointed. Very good, quality pizza. We sat outside in their beautiful outdoor space. Enjoyed a nice,early evening mountain breeze. Inside was clean and well decorated. This was a great dining experience, and we'll be back on one of our future Asheville trips.

Mellow Mushroom has been on my list for years. It was one of the first pizza places I remembered seeing vegan cheese at, but hadn't been able to try it until now. Surprisingly it actually held up to what I had built it in my head. This location was pretty fun inside, decorated it murals and neon art. Unfortunately, our server seemed to be having a bad day, but would definitely go again.

Such a fun and colorful location! Inside and out everything popped and had vibrance. The hostess who greeted us at the door heard me as I realized there were actual bowling balls used in the decor and she told me the sweetest story about how the owner's late friend owned a bowling alley and once it was sold he used pieces from the bowling alley in the decor of the restaurant in remembrance. Actual service was fast and friendly. The pizza was hot and fresh and I had zero complaints. I am sad all the MM Wu-Tang looking shirts were sold out (even online) but that's just kudos to the marketing team. Last awesome thing I loved, a homeless? man came in and they gave him something to drink. That was all I needed to know about the staff. Golden!
