We’ve eaten here and other Mellow Mushrooms on several occasions and it’s been fine but today, they told me that the only toppings that were gf were the onions and spinach. When asked further they said the others were in general populations now and nothing they could promise would be gf. We asked if they had any fresh containers etc and they said no. The manager came over and asked if it was just a preference or allergy and I said celiac and he admitted he was ignorant to what that means. I don’t know if things have changed or if it was a bad manager on a bad day. But this location at least is not celiac friendly, really.

Mellow takes gluten cross contamination pretty seriously, based on what I've heard from people that work there. We got our daughter the GF pepperoni pizza. She likes it alot. No reactions. We've also successfully ordered from the 5 points location.

The gluten-free area is a small kitchen itself. The Staff has all been well-versed in Gluten-Free and cross-contamination. I have multiple anaphylactic allergies. I have never had a bad experience there.

They have an online Allergy reference. Can you put the AllergyEats in and they tell you what’s available. Not always available at each restaurant. There are a variety of salads meat and vegetarian dishes and outstanding pizza.

I am allergic to several other food categories. They have always managed to find a way to make me what a variety of foods in a way that was appetizing and visually pleasing.

My pizza was very good. Mellow Mushroom always does a great job! It may cost a little more (all of their pizzas do) but it's worth it.

The pizza was disgusting and was $20 for about 4 slices! The gf pizza also takes longer to make than the regular pizza! It took 40 minutes for us to recieve it! Not worth it!

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!
