The oldest Mellow in existence and one of the last one or two that have the low-key vibe that I remember from my childhood visits to the Mellows of old.
I will guarantee that nine times out of ten you're going to get the best made Mellow menu-items from this kitchen crew; and the servers, while often overwhelmed by the heavy traffic and love from our pizza-obsessed community, always take top care of their customers. This has been the only Mellow for me for over two decades.
Love this place! Their pizza crust is THE BEST!! Great staff! Awesome beer selection.
You can find this location of Mellow Mushroom at 1679 Lavista Rd NE, Atlanta, GA 30329 right next to Whole Foods and Post Briarcliff. This location is one of the older, longer running Mellow Mushrooms in Atlanta, at one time threatened by Post Apartments (who coveted the land and seemed to buy out all the nearby businesses). I'm happy that it has both survived and thrived.
Great salad. Had the build your own salad - was huge and fresh! took half home for dinner. We also got a large cosmic karma pizza - the crust was really good and the pizza itself was good. didn't much like the mushroom soup but not because it wasn't good - we just wanted a clear broth soup and it seemed to be pretty thick with cornstarch.
All in all we will come back - tons of food and overall good stuff
Ain't nothing wrong with this place.... I just go here for the brewhaha and the pretzles. They are AWESOME soft pretzles - and tell 'em to bring you the COLD sauce - it is 10X better than the hot junk!

Trivia and thats it. The pizza is good, but you have better options. Wednesday Night has trivia, but with RIM servicing blackberries, everyone cheats and integrity is out the window.
Our favorite restaurant. They have been without a liquor license awhile but we are toughing it out with them! Unique and tasty pizzas and sandwiches, good local brews when they're serving. The young people who work there are ALL friendly and capable. Funky 70s style at this location, the original since 74.
The best pizza in the city and s great beer selection. Overrun when I went last over Thanksgiving. Sounds like they're understaffed. But the kitchen staff were friendly and make great food. Try the pretzels made fresh there. Been good for 20 years in my experience and counting.
Great food, nice service. The ingredients are fresh especially the mushrooms. Today I ordered cloud 9 wings and a medium house special pizza. Love the thin crust that you can make it a roll! And won't feel too greasy like most pizza. Tbh this is my first time dining in at a Mellow Mushroom (although had many deliveries before) and it's beyond my expectations! Like the design of the menu as well!
This review applies to one specific visit only.
Generally, we love this place. Great pizza! That being said....
Stick with the pizza. I opted for something different that night. Big mistake. I had the Cheese Steak Hoagie. It came with luke warm Tater Tots that had a strange taste. They were replaced for me. They still tasted strange, but at least they were hot.
On a scale of 1-10, I give the Cheese Steak Hoagie a weak 3, almost a 2. It was nasty. I could taste bacon from some previous meal cooked on the grill and some other unidentifiable flavors that did not belong.
After telling the waiter about the problem, he offered to see if the manager would give me 1/2 off. I asked to speak with him myself. While we were discussing the really bad sandwich, I realized that it didn't even have any cheese on it! It was so bad I hadn't even noticed. Everyone was really nice, and the manager did write off my food.
We do like the place, and we'll go back, but we'll stick with the pizza.
Good to have our neighborhood Mellow Mushroom back with it good staff and BEER. Order a pizza last night, WOW it was the best. Mellow Staff glad you are back, like home again.
The food was perfect...I had a delicious burger, and my husband had the Cloud wings!
But, it was our server Liam...that made our experience..Fantastic!
He was attentive, fast..and soo nice! When we go back, we hope that he'll be there, to take care of us!!!
Everyone enjoyed their pizza.
Friend advises the gluten-free crust is basically a cracker, but the toppings were tasty.
The gluten free crust was similar to a thin crust and was very good. The servers were very attentive and accommodating considering I had my elderly parent with me who was very specific about the order and not very polite. (No filter!)
Good food! Salads are PHENOMENAL! Personal pizzas are shareable! Great place to stop, eat and chat!
The pizzas... phenomenal and unique!
The drinks... refreshing and delicious! You won't regret trying the Maui Wowie
