Mellow Mushroom

Safe location and our server, Caleb was extremely knowledgeable and kind. I would request him again. We travel all over the country and always look for Mellow Mushroom locations . We get the GF House Special and Mighty Meaty Pizza. Neither my husband or I have ever gotten sick at the locations we check out first on this app to make sure it is being managed well to prevent cross contamination. We always ask that the kitchen be notified and asked to be extra careful.!This is a good one in the San Antonio area.

This place is amazing for those with celiac (and other dietary needs like dairy free and vegan)! They have a completely separate kitchen and prep area to avoid gluten cross contamination and they tell you which pizza toppings are available in that area. I didn’t have any issues. My husband had the dairy free cheese on his pizza and said it was good!

We asked if they have any GF appetizers, and our server noted that the appetizers are made in the main kitchen so possibility of CC. It was comforting that she offered that detail! We went with the hummus. GF pizza is apparently cooked separately, and it was good. Celiac had no problem!

Jacob was one of the best waiters we have had in a looooong time. He was attentive without being annoying or hovering, and he kept us updated on the progress of our food. When the kitchen made us a veggie pizza instead of a combo pizza, he spotted the problem and fixed it. He even got the bartender to make me a fresh strawberry margarita when I told him it’s my favorite drink. Neither of the celiacs got sick during this trip. Highly recommend!

Trying to give 5 stars but it’s only giving 3.

This is the only non-dedicated place we go to! The pizza is delicious, the staff has a separate space in the kitchen, and are extremely cautious. My daughter has never once gotten sick and she’s very sensitive!

I like that they specify the GF pizzas are made in a separate area, gloves and aprons are changed. I got the veg out pizza. The crust was pretty good, but it was not crispy in the middle. I'd go again, but I'd really probably prefer making my own GF pizza at home.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

menu is confusing, no GF appetizers, first thing they try to do is give you booze, been there twice with no GF dough available. Could not get order right, after waitress explained menu and we made choices we still got wrong pizzas.

I felt very safe eating there. The menu even has a statement about the precautions they take for gluten free and how the staff is trained.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Really enjoyed my pizza and salad. They were very careful with cross contamination in preparing my food. Can't wait to go back.

My daughter began a gf/df diet almost 5 weeks ago, and she was really wanting pizza again. We stopped in on the way to our movie and really enjoyed our meal. The menu lists each item that is gluten free and has dairy free vegan cheeze. There was a bit of sticker shock to get the 10 inch gluten free pizzas with simple toppings but for an occasional treat for my 14yo, it’s worth it. She also loved the music, decor, and the overall vibe.

Yaaaaaaasssssss. Knowledgeable Af. Pizza is LYFE. They have designated cooking stuff. They also serve meridian hive beer ( also lyfe) which is GF

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Very good, but still a very thin crust pizza & very pricey. We ordered take out instead of dining in, which saved on the wait time & an even larger bill.

So happy to have found this place while traveling. Great pizza! I had the House Special and was not disappointed. So great to feel like a normal person and go out for pizza. Great flavor and texture. Friendly environment. Good value.

This place is amazing! I ordered a dairy free, gluten free pizza and it was delicious. I didn't get sick! I will definitely be back.

One of the best GF pizzas I've ever had! Mellow Mushroom offers plenty of GF toppings, as well as vegan cheese - a huge plus for me! The pizza is a bit pricy, but it is absolutely fabulous, and it's wonderful to go to a pizza place and find gluten free options other than salad! The service is great as well! I once received a slightly burnt pizza (which was still very edible.) The manager noticed, had the staff bake a new pizza, and gave me a few coupons for future visits. I was highly impressed. You'll pay a little more at Mellow Mushroom, but it's absolutely worth it.

Best gf pizza I have found in San Antonio. Hate Stone Oak area traffic but sometimes it's worth the trip.

The pizza was delicious, and they were able to give us veggies for the humus appetizer. However, the gf crust they have is the common 12" thin frozen crust. Which is fine, except when you're charged over $20 for it! They told us that the charge would be the same as a regular medium pizza, but since the regular small we ordered (half of the family are celiacs- half are not) was $15, we assumed that a medium was just a bit more. Our family of 4 paid a bill of $80 for 3 pizzas (1 small, 2 medium) and a humus appetizer! In our opinion it is way over priced for the quality. If they made their own gf crust in-house, it might be worth it. But we can get the frozen crust at Stouts nearby or even Pizza Hut or Dominos. If you're looking for good in-house gf crust, try the Purple Garlic. It's much tastier, cheaper, and the owner goes out of his way to increase his gf menu.

I so dispute the person who spoke negatively about pizza crust. Most places serve up frozen Udi's pizza crust. MM makes there's FRESH in a separate kitchen area and the GF meals are even delivered to guest separate of other guests meals. Staff is fully trained on GF (even the bartender) and the chef himself came out to answer a question on their soup. I have never scene such care to the GF guest! Cudos to MM!!!

Awesome gluten free pizza experience! Great to find a gluten free crust with flavor and texture, instead of gross rice flour crust! Felt confident that my pizza was going to be safe and made correctly!

I personally thought the gluten free crust was good. Service was a bit slow and I'm not sure that have dedicated cooking space.

Gluten free pizza is like eating cardboard. Go for a salad instead

Our new GF crust is also Vegan, and we have stepped it up even further to avoid possibility of cross contamination. Using a custom Smart Flour gluten free/vegan crust now (dropped Still Riding) in order to offer a better pie!

All pies are made from isolated ingredients and on a seperate make line/pizza pans.

As the owner, please email me with any concerns and I will be glad to help. [email protected]

Ordered the certified gluten free house pizza. The crust is not my favorite there is a lot of room for improvement there but the toppings are good. Except for the ground beef it had no flavor. If you aren’t picky and just want an option it’s a fine choice.

My go to for rice free / gluten free pizza. It’s always marked separately. I always get the House Special. I’ve never gotten sick and ordered over 20x. Crust isn’t to die for but the toppings quality is great. Much more cost effective than other GF pizza options in comparison to quality
