Mellow Mushroom

Love their pizza. Ambiance is a little bit cafeteria like, but their service is amazing and they have a great beer selection. It’s a staple fun pizza place and a good place to go with a group of friends to drink beers and eat some good food.
I’d go back for the spinach dip alone! Stuffed mushrooms were nothing to write home about. The mega veggie pizza was great too!
Not gonna lie tho, I think their lack of uniform guidelines hurts them imo. I’m all for a relaxed work environment, but I’ve seen girls in see through yoga pants and a kid wearing gym shorts and slippers.

This place never disappoints always amazing holy shiitake pie is the best thing I’ve ever eaten pizza. Service is always top notch, servers joke with you and make you feel like a friend will be going to this location a lot.

One of our favorite spots for specialty pizza/​calzones and a variety of craft beers and wines. Server was very articulate, helpful and displayed a very welcoming personality! Good place for cozying up with the perfect date or family pizza night with the kids! Food is fresh and drinks complimented our meal perfectly.

Brand new Mellow Mushroom and we are excited. Great beers on tap and lots of vegan options on the menu will have us back anytime we’re rolling down the 417. Elina (sp? AKA Bar Night 1 on the receipt) our bartender/​server was very helpful; really knew her stuff, recommended the tempeh in curry sauce as a topping on our «Build Your Own Salad». It was outstanding. Welcome to the neighborhood MM, we’re glad your here.

The place was very clean which is always a plus. The pizzas are made to order. Don’t go there expecting your pizza to be dripping with grease and mozzarella, it’s won’t be. Go there expecting good quality ingredients, fresh pizza, and flavors you may not have tried before. If you want regular bar food, yeah they have it too. But if you want to try something different go for the pizza. It’s great!

We had half Philosophers pie and Thai Dye. It was outstanding. The Philosophers Pie was our fav but both were good. Our waitress was fantastic and surprised us with two draft samples she thought we might enjoy.

This place doesn’t disappoint. I usually go to the location in east Orlando but since this place opened up near my place, I don’t have to drive far now. Food is delicious and service is great. If you guys are in the Sanford area, don’t pass this place up. If you like delicious pizza, a great atmosphere and awesome service. you have to go to Mellow Mushroom.
If you love burgers — they have them now too.
Besitos,
Amanda

Love the place. The Sanford one does have Burgers too. Which were equally fabulous. They do put a lot of shake parmigiana on the pizza if you like that kind of thing. I get mine without.

If there was a way to give negative stars I would this was the first time my husband and I have ever been here and we both agreed that we will never go back the food was over priced and not very good the service was horrible the server came to our table all of twice once to take our order and once to give us our bill I could understand it if they were busy but they weren’t she didn’t even come to refill our drinks my food was cold I ordered there burger which wasn’t bad for being cold it came with potatoes and they were bland my husband ordered the steak and cheese calzone and he said it was not very good at all that the sauce that came with it was ice cold and tasted like a tin can plus we waited forever for our food to even come out

Went here for lunch. Not bad at all. One of my co-​travelers told me we have one in SA. Didn’t know that.
Anyway, I went for a lunch special. For $ 5.99 you get a six inch hoagie of your choice, chips and a drink. Had the cheesesteak. Good value. Other options are pizza slices and a drink. Also salads, burgers. Pretty well-​rounded list of food options.
Cody our server, was very good. Very personable and funny. A pretty good place.

Servers are not attentive at all. We have only seen our server a couple of times since we got here. Food takes well over the usual time for a Mellow Mushroom. Very disappointing to have such poor service. Waiting 30+ mins for our meals is unacceptable when pizzas take less than 20 to cook.
We will not return to this location.

Hard to get excited about another pizza place in Sanford, even if the vibe is really cool. Service from Cody was excellent, but food average. I tried the meatball app and found them lacking spice and covered with way too much pizza sauce. My companion enjoyed her pizza, but didn’t rave about it.
We’ll give it another try, but it’s not jumping to the top of my list.

I have been to a slew of pizzerias, but Mellow Mushroom has to be my favorite so far! Not only is the service out of this world (Suzy is a recommended server), but the food is phenomenal!
Definitely check this out when you get a chance!

I tried Mellow Mushroom simply because it was new in town. I was unsure because I had eaten at their other location and left disappointed. So, I began this adventure feeling a little skeptical. We placed our names on the waiting list and sat on a bench near the hostess stand. Time ticked by. We reviewed menus and chatted with other guests. More time ticked by. The other guests were seated. Finally, we realized new people coming in were being seated before us — yes they had forgotten us!
However, once they realized the error it was quickly rectified. Our waitress was AWESOME! She was pleasant, efficient, knowledgeable, and fun!
Our food was excellent — good flavor and good portions. I highly recommend the pretzel appetizer.
We did find out at the end of our meal that we were visiting on their very first night in business. So, that explained the seating glitch. The manager did offer to comp some of our order, but we declined his offer.
I recommend this location and I am sure you will enjoy the variety of seating options, great appetizers, and friendly service.

Mellow Mushroom just opened in Sanford today! The place was packed but they still did a great job with our food. It had a bright upbeat atmosphere with a diner/​pizza parlor vibe. Their menu is extensive and includes beer and liquor.
What really made the evening great was our server– Diane. She was exceptional! She was extremely polite and constantly making sure we were satisfied. Thank you!!!

Yes, five stars *because* pizza!!! Not bland pizza, but with the best sweet doughy crust that is so balanced in flavor, psychedelic atmosphere, great beer, and a refreshing open air bar area. Loving this location more than I thought I would.
Tried a full order of jerk chicken wings and the «House Special» pie tonight. Two people with 8 wings and a large pizza… way too much food! Love the huge selection of draft beer, cider, and local products like Funky Buddha brew. It was very enjoyable and the staff was great. Mellow Mushroom has ample indoor, outdoor, and bar setting. The bar has a very cool roll down garage door type shudder that makes the oval bar area sort of half indoors and half outdoors. Liked all the fresh air coming in.
This was a busy evening and the wait for a party of two was 35 minutes. Sitting at the bar turned out great, but you could tell the staff behind the bar were stretched a bit thin from dealing with all the orders. Couldn’t believe how busy this place is on a Wednesday night. Had a great experience here and enjoyed the look and feel here. Would like to come back and try dessert next time too.

I was super excited coming here, but it was a major let down. One of the servers was rude. She eventually tended to other tables and we had a nice server. However, she was not very attentive.
My husband and I started off with wings. We were short a wing after waiting about 20 minutes to finally get served. I would estimate they were smaller than the average size and the dressing was not anything special. Our pizza ended up coming out before we finished our wings when we stated that we wanted to have the wings first.
As an absolute mushroom and garlic lover, I got the Holy Shittake Pie. I would say it was meh at best. It was super rich and one bite of my husband’s pizza was better than this. I would probably recommend going more of a meat route. He did the Mighty Meaty and it definitely made a stronger case for this place.
This was not my favorite. As a new, just opened, restaurant, you would think there would be attentive staff and enough people to help when it is busy. There was none of that.
I was really not into this. The crust is good, but that is about it. I would check it out once, but would not give it more than that.

I am glad Mellow Mushroom opened in Sanford. The location is amazing. The restaurant is bigger than the one on Aloma and there was no wait time when I walked in for lunch.
As I mentioned before the restaurant was not too busy for lunch so we got our tables quite fast. Our server was awesome. She brought out our drinks fast and put in our orders.
There is no lunch menu but they do offer pizza by the slice for $ 2.00 and $ 1 extra for any condiment you want to add. You know you don’t come to Mellow Mushroom for a cheese pizza or a pepperoni pizza; you come to Mellow Mushroom because of their amazing specialty pizza.
One thing that I loved the most is that I was able to mix my order, meaning I order 2 types of specialty pizza on one pie.
I ordered the Kosmic Karma on one side which comes with red sauce, feta cheese, sun dried tomatoes and pesto; and the Holy Shiitake pie which comes with mushrooms, caramelized onion, olive oil and garlic sauce and mozzarella.
As much as I loved both, I have to say that the Kosmic Karma was my favorite hands down. It was very delicious and I loved the mix off pesto with sun dried tomatoes.
Our waitress was great, she checked on us throughout our lunch to make sure we didn’t need anything. She was also really quick to refill our waters and bring out extra napkins. I also appreciated that Ron, the manager, came to ask us how our lunch was going and if we liked everything we ordered. Everyone was extremely friendly which is a major plus.
I look forward to returning to this location and hope that the service and the friendliness of the staff stays the same.

Melllllllllllllllow mushROOM!
To start, the atmosphere rocks. The art installations are really cool. The TV presence is great for a game but not crazy like the ale house. Music is great. Not crazy loud. Trippy lights everywhere.
The staff is awesome too. Nobody seemed new and it was OPENING NIGHT! Everyone was ridiculously friendly and there wasn’t a sense of craziness or uncertainty. The owner, Ron, came over and was very friendly. He seems like there’s a lot of great things in the work for this place. Looking forward to the specials down the road.
The drinks are fantastic. Beer prices are way below normal. $ 3.95 jai alai doesn’t happen many places. Huge variety and you can get many by the pitcher. Should be a great late night spot in an area that shuts its doors pretty early.
The food was way above par. Spinach dip was the best I’ve ever had off the munchie menu. We split our pizza in half and had the Maui wowi as well as the tye dye. Both were delicious. Tye dye was sweet and was perfect with a little spice on the Maui wowi. We are currently waiting on a giant cookie fresh from the oven.
There’s also dives during the lunch rush.
Cool place to have a drink on the patio, watch the game or have a great dinner. This place rocks and I can’t wait to come back. Welcome to Sanford mellow.

This location is amazing. I was so wary about visiting, because of the two bad experiences my family had at the Mt. Dora location. It was opening weekend and yet everything was great!
The sound was not too loud, also an issue in the Mt. Dora location, people could actually have a conversation without yelling and this was during an extremely busy night.
The staff was clean, courteous and appeared to actually want to be there, again, this was an issue at the other location.
The manager was on the floor and making sure everyone was happy and being treated great.
I look forward to returning to this location!
