I didn’t get sick, and I usually absolutely love Mellow Mushroom for gluten free pizza, but this location was mediocre at best. The food was gross, and service was okayish (for some reason we had 3 different servers, and I think the first might have been drunk????) I love Mellow Mushroom and had never had a bad experience before this one. Would recommend the chain, but definitely not this location. There’s a good gluten free bakery (Rise) literally one minute away—go there instead.

It's pricey ($20 for an 11" personal pizza), but the toppings are great, I really like the crust, and I've never gotten sick at any of the MMs where I've had their GF pizza. The thin crust has a bit more sweetness and chew than other GF pizzas I've had, but I like that it's not just the cracker-like consistency that's often the only option. I do think that the white pizzas are a bit of a better fit with it than ones with tomato sauce, though.

I also really appreciate that they indicate beers that are truly GF and distinguish them from the low gluten/gluten removed ones.

The first time my mom had this pizza she was obsessed. When she came to visit again- she said this was the worst gf pizza she has ever had. Now that I am too gf, I have not tried it (I also loved their regular pizza so much.) I stick to Pete's now.

It's awesome that they have a separate menu for gluten free pizza. A little pricy but it's a good size personal pizza. I thought the choices were pretty good.

Had higher hopes for this place. Kind of disappointing and overly priced pizza. 12 inch 2 topping pizza was $19.

Excellent! No issues with mighty meaty pizza. I order through UberEats, but call store to verify. Always good! I also get no cheese (dairy free. Gluten free).

Much better when eating it in person. I’ve never had a bad experience at any mellow mushroom when dining in, but take-out and delivery is 50/50 depending on the location. Unfortunately, for this location, take-out and delivery should be avoided if you cannot have cross-contact. I’ve had to stop ordering and tell family/friends that while yes, we can eat there, please don’t order it for parties.

Ordered a gluten free pizza and have no complaints whatsoever. Amazing taste, and no symptoms after. Server seemed knowledgeable, etc. honestly one of the better GF pizzas I’ve had. Since it’s a chain, always make sure to ensure your dietary needs.

Great GF pizza and vegan cheese option for the dairy free folk! Everything tastes great and I was assured they made GF food separately. The brownie dessert was good too for a frozen and wrapped treat, it tasted like a Little Debbie’s cosmic brownie!
