    First time eating at this location. It was not crowded at all. We were greeted as soon as we walked in. The food and service was awesome! We really enjoyed eating our food. It's definitely a family fun atmosphere. Plenty of tvs as well with sports on. We will be back!

    It’s been a great experience usually eating here. This was our first time picking up for takeout and all 3 of our pizzas were burnt. Probably won’t be ordering out again.

    Amazing food! The flavors are delicious, we ordered a medium pizza half chicken Q, and the merry prankster. The appetizer was the pesto garlic cheese bread and it was so good! Service was fast and friendly, everything was clean and we'll maintained.

    Server was good, they're a little skimpy on napkins. Also the pizza dough wasn't cooked to completion. Cheese bread was a roll with cheese. Great sauce .. good noise level had a live band.

    A nice causal pizza spot near Bearden Park in uptown. Our server was great, very attentive and the food was what you would expect from a pizza spot. The specialty pizzas give you the most bag for the buck, but you can also build your own. I gave it four stars because the wings were a little fatty and the pizza was half crust. Not my preference, but to each their own. Also, not sure why getting two small pizzas is cheaper than the one large pizza and you get more, but it let's you try more 😉

    The waitress attending my husband and I was great. She was attentive, kind, no complaints. As to the food, it wasn’t so great. Not promt either. My husband ordered the Ritz Burger; it came out falling apart, the meat tasted both old and dry, the cucumber was was smushy, and the caramelized onions tasted as if they had gone bad already. I ordered Oven-Roasted wings and they came out dry. Not sure if the food in all just tastes bad or it was what we ordered but really didn’t leave a good first impression. Will not be coming back!

    So I ordered the mushroom soup. $6.99. Ordered online and walked to the restaurant. I arrived at the restaurant 15 minutes after I placed the order. It is mushroom soup. How hard is it to ladel soup into a cup? Apparently, it's very hard. I had to wait another 10 minutes to have a cup of soup because there was a " big order before me." Food looked great coming out of the kitchen. So 25 minutes later, I got some soup. Probably not be back.

    I'm a sucker for pizza. This BBQ chicken was sincere. Great toppings (all fresh ingredients, whole pieces of bacon too) to sauce to crust ratio. I dont know why, but the crust put it over the top for me. This place went from zero to a hunnit real quick in terms of business while I was there. Everything was made to order. My waitress was very nice and accommodating.. wish I lived around here to visit more and try other combinations.

    Fun atmosphere. My wife is addicted to the Kosmic karma pizza. We went twice in 1 week. This is her favorite pizza in the Charlotte region. Drinks were well made. I had some sort of coconut cocktail that made me think I need to make these at home!

    My son and I are visiting my parents in Charlotte and we stopped into Mellow Mushroom for dinner. It was SO Good. The service was friendly, from everyone! The bartenders were fantastic! I think Kristen and Ne are very personable and friendly, good conversation, polite, and a sense of humor to keep the moods upbeat ❤️ We came back a few times during our visit as they have a wonderful menu and kids options, PLUS so many draft options 😄 I'm here right now in fact and I can't get over the music they've got going on! It's like they are playing my music straight from my phone, all the good songs and energy! Josh is working and said it was his music, it's fantastic, ought to have him DJ too! I wish I was staying longer, they do trivia brain game night with Lori & Daniel on Tuesdays @7pm, and I'm not great at trivia, but I think I could have a ton of fun anyway!

    This place is a vibe. Our server was amazing, Brian took very good care of my family. Management took the time to make sure everything was okay with our table. William and Josh personally stopped by our table. The food was delicious and hot. The food came out super quickly and our server was super attentive we will be back! If you like good drinks, great food, relaxed aesthetics, a comfortable setting and a clean pizza place this should be your next target. They also have plenty of vegan option!

    This food was reaaaaally not good. I have to say, the staff is GREAT! Really kind and attentive, multiple people and our server checked on us throughout the night. The hostess is also wonderful. My review is strictly on the food and not the great people working there. Now. The food. We both got calzones, boyfriend got a sausage one and I got a modified veggie one with vegan cheese and tempeh instead of regular. They were both very undercooked (photos) vegan cheese doesn’t melt as much, but I know it melts more than this. And my boyfriend’s also had cold, unmelted regular cheese in the middle. We also got pretzel bites without the butter and parm. As you can see it’s literally just calzone dough in the shape of a pretzel🤣 I think this might be on us, but regardless it was really hilarious. I’ve removed the dairy from many pizza place items and have never received such a thing. It also took a good 45 mins to receive this food, which it was really busy when we came during the holiday lights event. Overall this food was so not good (even worse reheated) that I don’t think we’d be back. If they can improve their menu and keep the same awesome staff I’d be all over that!

    Would like to try a different location next time. The server was not there/aware of us at all. Our waitress was not very educated on the menu and always seemed lost in what she was doing even though we didn’t ask for much nor that it was busy. The pizza wasn’t hot - but the burger was. Unfortunately not when we ate it because it took a long time to just get another drink and Mayo from our waitress. We ordered two adult drinks. Second time around order another (one was the exact same as the first) and she bought back a totally different drink knowingly and asked “is this the same one because it doesn’t look like it”. The whole experience was a downfall…..I loved my vegan cheese pizza so that’s why there is two stars. Nothing came with our burger so I’m not sure if we go back and pay almost $15 for a regular burger that only came with what you see below. We didn’t mind staying a little longer to drink maybe get a pizza to go since we spent $82 why not make it an even $100 However when your waitress is not in-tuned with her customers they lost out on more money. Next time I’m hoping to go to the South Park location for a better experience!

    We were pleasantly surprised on how delicious the pizza was! From Chicago and nothing beats Chicago style pizza but this place makes a great pizza! A variety of toppings and specialty pizzas on the menu with fun names! They made a unique pretzel dessert as a surprise, shaped in a 5-0 for our friends birthday that day! They have the cinnamon pretzel dessert on the menu to order but very thoughtful to create a '50' from the dough. They sang happy birthday to our friend. Our waitress went above and beyond to make our evening special. Kudos!!

    Other than a mix up at the table when the food came out, we had a great experience. I ended up with the Great White, which was my second choice... Was not disappointed though I wonder what the other would've tasted like. They were very accommodating at making a calzone vegan for us too.

    A group of 6 walked in to eat about an hour and a half before the game we were attending at BOA stadium. No wait time to be seated. Theresa was our server. Ordered two pizzas. The wait for food was about 40 minutes. Instead of the meat pizza, they brought out a pepperoni so they made the adjustment and the check and we got to eat in plenty time for the game. Total $45

  • 4/5 Greg C. 1 year ago on Google
    The pizza was great. The beer was either the bottom of the keg, or they just changed the keg and didn't flush the line. But they do have a good beer selection. Service was average. And they were not at all busy. Great location a block away from Truist Field entrance.

    The BEST pizza in town!!! Our favorite is the House Special pizza, and kids love the Cheese pizza. Always fantastic service. Their special homemade Garlic Sauce is a must for pizza!

  • 4/5 Lori W. 2 years ago on Google
    We always sit at the bar. We love Marty and Anna! Looking forward to meeting the newer bartenders. They have drink and meal specials throughout the week...just ask. The gluten free pizza is amazing! I wish they had a larger salad selection and some low carb options like zucchini spiral spaghetti or riced cauliflower as a substitute.

    I remember living by the Mellow Mushroom in Charleston, SC and thinking it was a Vegan restaurant... Thankfully my coworkers educated me on the amazing pizza! Last weekend was my first time visiting the Charlotte location with a group of students from UNCC. The server was really kind and offered my great suggestions. I love garlic but hate spice, I'm glad she let me know that the garlic wings were not too spicy, they are amazing! I wish I had ordered two! The food was brought to the table nice and hot. I recommend trying this restaurant.

  • 5/5 Crestin G. 2 years ago on Google
    First pizza spot since moving from Chicago/Detroit, and it was pretty good. The crust was so soft and tasty. I do not care for crust at that. The sunset paradise drink was excellent now, my top five drinks. The outside could have been cleaner, and the webs by the windows needs to be cleaned away. But other than that we will visit again. See Sylvia if you choose to go.

    Nice place to grab a quick bite. The service was good but not great. The food was pretty good.

👍👍 Skeptical. I visited this place because of a research on brunch places in downtown. Ended here because of the Google rating. Almost Worth it! The Italian sausage hash was really good. But my spouse ordered an avocado toast and it lacked flavor. Also, the coffee was legit; really good! Also ordere...
