Mellow Mushroom

Celiac friendly?

Yes

We were told they had completely dedicated GF section. I really enjoyed the pizza!

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.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

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!

Celiac friendly?

No

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?

Yes

Very good pizza. Also wings. Has many options. Good nutritional information on line and in person.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Dedicated GF line. Only small pizza crust size is available, but delicious. If ordering online, be sure to also call to alert kitchen it is a Celiac GF order. They will take additional precautions to limit cross contamination. There is no space within the online firm to leave a note. All staff I spoke with were knowledgeable about Celiac Disease. Great option for Celiac/safe dining near the Classic Center.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

My celiac reactions are really severe, so I usually steer clear of restaurants that aren’t 95%-100% gluten free. The risk is just not worth it. But I read a lot of reviews here, especially noting that this place had a whole dedicated gf pizza oven; eventually my longing for pizza won and I nervously gave this place a try. I stressed hard to our waitress about the severity of my celiac symptoms, and she was totally prepared. She told me to steer clear of anything not marked with the gf symbol on the menu, because the items with the gf symbol were always prepped in the dedicated gf area. One time I really wanted to deviate for some fresh basil (not marked gf), and she went back and had the kitchen prep me some in the gf area. I have eaten here about ten times now and I haven’t been glutened once. Everyone is careful. Pizza is back on the menu for me and I am so grateful that Mellow Mushroom goes to such lengths to keep things safe.

Celiac friendly?

No

I ordered a GF pizza to go. Staff seemed knowledgeable about GF but after eating 2 slices I started to feel ill and it only got worse from there. Tested on my Nina when I got back to the hotel and received a Gluten Found result. Definitely would not recommend this Mellow Mushroom. They do not have safe cross contamination procedures in place.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

I had the Veg Out Pizza with GF crust and the GF Brownie. I’m pretty sensitive to cross contamination and had no problems. Very good and will go back.

Pizza was ok. Crust was cardboard like. It is safe but there's definitely better gf pizza options out there. Angelo's in Lakewood now has gf pizza, cooked and made separately and so does pelicanos in rocky river.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

I’m here on a weekly basis and don’t have issues. They have a separate dedicated kitchen for celiacs. I get a pepperoni pizza on GF crust and I’m good to go! Don’t get their onions on anything as they are cross contaminated. I learned that the hard way!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Best GF Kosmic Kharma pizza. Love that I can find safe options at all your locations as it pleases the whole table, not just my allergy.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Manager came to me and said the kitchen manager messed up and we are remaking your pizza to make sure it’s celiac safe for you so please give us one more minute. That’s a good sign!

Gf toppings were very good - pineapple, ham and bacon - mmmm. Crust was just ok - soggy city but I’m used to it.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Had a salad and the gluten-free pizza which was good but not my favorite. I was very nervous whether they understood but I did not get sick.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

This is the best pizza ever and the waitress was very helpful.

Crust tastes good (not the normal Udi’s crust) and most of the pizza ingredients and salads are gf. One of my top pizza places in the area.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

We have visited twice now since being gluten free. Any of their pizzas can be made with a gluten free crust. The menu says which of their speciality pizzas have toppings that are gluten free as well. We have felt comfortable eating here and like having a gf pizza option. They also have dairy free cheese available.

Celiac friendly?

No

Mellow Mushroom no longer lists which toppings are gluten free. The waitress could not give me a list but said they she knew all the gluten free toppings. I asked specifically if roasted red peppers are gf since I remember that it was 1 item on the old menu that was not listed gf. She said yes they are gluten free. So now I don't trust anything.

Comment

I was sick as a dog! I will never go back and do not recommended anyone with celiac to go here.

Wasnt the best gluten free pizza I've ever had, but it wasnt awful either. I've ate here several times and have had no reaction. However, I think cross contamination is a possibility here so eat at your own risk.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

I absolutely LOVE Mellow Mushroom! They have wonderful allergy protocols in place and use a separate kitchen space for preparing their gluten free pizzas. I ate here 3 times on my trip as it is one of the only celiac safe restaurants in Hiram that I came across. I always get the Veg Out pizza with vegan cheese as I’m allergic to dairy as well. I highly recommend this place to anyone with Celiac and/or a dairy allergy!

Their gluten free pizza is very inconsistent. I’ve had it at one location and it was amazing and the next one is barely ok. Probably wouldn’t get it again

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Eat here very frequently and have NEVER gotten sick! Love this place!

Celiac friendly?

No

Management and staff were friendly, but did not tell me about baking GF pizza in the same ovens with regulate wheat pizzas. Instant cross contamination. I was sick for weeks. Ask about this. Ate at the location In Charleston they had a separate preparation station for Gluten free every thing and a separate oven. I am a very sensitive Celiac and I had no problems there. I am not sure these chains really understand Celiac disease and think saying GF is enough, wrong.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

My daughter’s gluten free pizza was the best we’ve tried so far. They only make it in a 10 inch but it is plenty big enough for one.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

My pizza was delicious and there were many choices of gluten free toppings. And there was a gluten free brownie for dessert!

Great food! Quick staff. And delicious pizza.

I get pizzas and salads here often and haven’t gotten sick yet and I’m generally pretty sensitive to cross contamination. It’s my understanding that they prepare the gluten free pizzas in a separate area as well. Very tasty pizzas and worth trying

Celiac friendly?

Yes

They have a dedicated kitchen for gluten free items but I feel like it’s hit or miss if I have a reaction. Their managers are well trained but I don’t think the staff is always the most cautious

Celiac friendly?

Yes

They offer gluten free pizza crust and dairy free cheese. After I got home from the restaurant, I had terrible pains in my stomach, I won’t be returning.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Great location and safe pizza! They had options for the celiac and the vegans in our group! 💛

Get Gf house with allergen and never had reaction. I’m sensitive to cross contact.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

They have good GF pizza! However, there is cross contamination, so if you are sensitive this may not work for you.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Pizzas can be prepared gf but the menu is limited and toppings are a bit pricey.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Good gluten free pizza. A safe option in Colonial area of Williamsburg.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

There are only gluten free pizzas and a brownie but the staff are very helpful about what ingredients may have cross contamination and which are safe. I had a gluten free pizza with feta, Roma tomatoes, and green pepper. My first choice were roasted peppers and ricotta cheese but our server said they may be at risk of contamination and showed me the screen of the safe options. I’d give 5 stars if the menu eliminated that step by indicating which ingredients are available to celiacs.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Designated space for cooking GF pizza

Celiac friendly?

Yes

The spinach salad with grilled chicken 1/2 size is perfect! I have eaten their GF pizza as well, certain toppings are listed GF.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

The pizza is very good here and would recommend going. Staff was knowledgeable and ensured me that she will let the chef know about avoiding cross contamination. The price can get pretty high, but overall a great place to get gluten free pizza!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

I’ve been to a mellow mushroom at a different location and it was so good! I went there 3 times with my family so I was very excited to eat here. I didn’t get sick but the pizza wasn’t very good.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Decent pizza. Menu isn’t well marked but server was very helpful with choices. I ordered the gf pizza with mozzarella, red sauce and pineapples. It was good.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Delicious pizza & excellent Celiac-safe prep. Separate assembly line & oven.

Yummy place to eat if you are around the sea world area and they even have a separate dedicated space for their gluten free stuff.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Not overly impressed with the taste. The gf crust was like a cracker. I ordered to meat pie, with a sub of vegan cheese instead of mozzarella. They neglected to put the tomato sauce that comes with it on it. My husband's gluten-free white pizza seems to have vegan cheese also, although he asked for mozzarella. He is not dairy free. They did seem to keep us safe from the gluten and that is good.

Celiac friendly?

No

The new Mellow Mushroom is NOT celiac safe. I’ve had it twice in the past 3 months. I thought the first time could have been an accident, but I went again last week and have been horribly ill despite talking with the staff about cross-contamination. It’s not worth the risk.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

They offer gluten free pizza that is pretty good. Lots of options for toppings. As a celiac, I have eaten here a few times now and have not gotten sick. They bake the pizza on a baking pan instead of directly onto the oven surface. They are familiar with celiac and gluten free. My Nima sensor did not detect gluten in the Pizza that was ordered from the gluten safe menu.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Pizza was so good! They even had a different person bring out the pizza that was not near the wheat flour. Very helpful too with gluten free questions.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Our daughter has been able to eat at Mellow Mushroom downtown, in West Ashley and in North Charleston and whether we eat in or we take it to go and has never had a problem. The staff is knowledgeable and our daughter loves the pizza as well.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Server was very knowledgeable. Had a ton of info as soon as I mentioned celiac. Plenty of options for GF pizza toppings.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

The staff was very knowledgeable and the pizza was very delicious. I also didn’t get sick.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Very yummy. I am very sensitive celiac and eat their gf pizza often.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Gluten free pizza was okay. They have a separate preparation area for gluten free. The crust was a little soggy but the edges were crispy and good. The service was meh but we ate outside and when we went inside to use the bathroom it was CROWDED. I’m not sure I’d go here again but if your group wants pizza it’s a good option.
