We had the gf pizza. The crust was thin, the toppings were great. They make it on a parchment paper. Felt fine after.

When fresh and hot, gluten-free Mellow Mushroom pizza is delicious! I don’t care for the crust once it has cooled off. Some of the specialty pizzas can be made gluten-free and you can build your own too. I wish they had more gluten-free options for toppings but they only consider the toppings that are kept at the salad bar and away from where the regular pizza is made to be gluten-free. People who don’t have to worry about cross contamination could probably eat other toppings too. There is not a separate gluten-free menu but there is a separate section on the menu for the gluten-free specialty pizzas. My only recommendation would be to mark on the menu which toppings are gluten-free. I really enjoy eating at Mellow Mushroom and have never gotten sick at any of their locations that I’ve been to!

Should be zero stars. Bad service at 3pm in the afternoon. Had to wait to be served, got cold food. Up charge on everything incl toppings on the gluten-free pie. Pie not cooked well. Sick for 8 hours after. Never again.

Service and pizza were great! No reactions. But, I was a little disappointed after seeing and smelling beautiful, bubbly large pizzas walking by and then having our server place a very small pie in front of myself, husband, and toddler. We judged our order based on looking around at other pies. We didn't realize that a gf dough meant a much smaller, thinner pizza would come our way. We didn't have time to order another so we split what we had and went on our way. Overall, great tasting but gf pie will only feed 1.5 people. Don't plan to share.

The Mellow Mushroom in Raleigh serves amazing GF pizza. Since Wilmington should be using the same crust, I'm not sure how they manage to absolutely ruin it. Worst GF pizza ever!!! Most times comes out burnt to a crisp and barely edible.

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!
