Mellow Mushroom

Ordered the GF crust with emphasis that it not be in contact with any shared surfaces. Was average quality (so I knew it was the GF crust) but had minor symptoms after eating. Not a full blown glutening, but enough to know that there was likely some contamination.

They prep the gluten free pizza in a separate area

They are now using the corporate pizza dough and it is DISGUSTING ! The local vender they use to have is no longer in business to offer them their gluten free pizza dough which was awesome!!!!!! Corporate needs to go back in the kitchen lab and work on a better gluten free dough.

I am very sad to report that this restaurant is unsafe. For almost a year now, this location has been my go to for gluten-free pizza. However, I am sad to report that last night I was made very sick by this restaurant. I called in a takeout order for a gluten-free Kosmic Karma pizza with extra cheese and bacon, just as I usually do. I also stressed and repeated in my call that this was a gluten allergy and not a preference and to make the kitchen aware of this fact. However, here I am woefully sick after eating this pizza. Not only that when I called to make the restaurant aware of what happened I didn’t even get an apology. I saw no signs that they even cared in the slightest that they had made me sick.

Celiac friendly?

No

We have eaten here with our celiac daughter for several years. One of the few restaurants we trust.

Celiac friendly?

No

Dedicated oven and prep areas for their GF pizzas. It’s always been a winner for us.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Unfortunately, as a Celiac, I cannot recommend this specific Mellow. First time I ate here, I was sick before leaving the restaurant. Second time around, sick halfway home.

Both times, I specified that I had Celiac, and asked if it would be prepped and cooked safely. I was assured it would be. My digestive tract says otherwise.

The Raleigh MM, however, I've had zero issue with (to date).

Celiac friendly?

No

The best Celiac-safe pizza out there, but a bit pricey. Not too bad if you split a pepperoni with a friend though! I eat it regularly and have never gotten sick. They train their staff for Celiac.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

GF menu, told server of celiac, confirmed separate cooking area. Ordered meat pizza with all the crisp edges and pepperoni grease pools. So delicious. No reaction.

Great gluten free pizza

Love 'em! Consistent quality GF pizza that never makes me sick, and when a server recently waved a wheat pizza over mine, they re-made my GF pizza without a single complaint. New sauces are intesting and different, and they just got Crispin cider on tap - yay!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Best gf pizza you can get, but I agree with Katie that it is quite expensive for the size. I'm the only one of the family who can eat gluten so I get pretzels to help keep the total bill down.

i've always been a fan of their pizza and the GF one is good. i think they also have GF beer. however, be warned- the 12" GF pizza is $18, at least in Durham. i don't think it used to be that pricey and the GF pizza at other places like Brixx and Lilly's is cheaper, i think. mellow mushroom is safe and good quality but be prepared to spend a lot.

If you let the greeter and/or server know you have celiac, your table should be wiped down and your food will come on distinct plates. They're done a good job training their folks, it seems.

The pizza crust is really good, though it's a shame it doesn't come in more than one size.

Great pizza. Great service. The host even wiped down our table and brought out special gf safe plates. I've never gotten sick here, and I am super sensitive.

I ordered the 12inch gluten free pizza without cheese, caramelized onions, black olives and mushrooms. The pizza was ok and not my favorite dough made from sorghum, amaranth, teff and tapioca flour blend plus xanthum gum as it was a bit chewy. The Angry Orchard cider was good and the service was good too.

Went here with my GF kiddo. The staff was very friendly. Let the server know about the celiac. Told us which of the pizzas were GF. Kiddo decided on plain cheese. We were told they changed gloves, separate oven, etc., for gf. Good experience!
