Was not impressed with the pizza due to the crust. I ordered this to-go and ended up just eating the toppings off of my crust after taking one bite.
Staff let us know that at this location they do not have a separate prep space or oven. When asked about the safety of sharing an oven and if there’s any precautions they take the employee said the gluten would burn off in the oven. Which did not inspire confidence! To give credit, they did say they wipe down the prep space and wash their hands and use fresh toppings, HOWEVER when we walked past the kitchen for the rest room the kitchen was super busy, and COVERED in flour. Because of this we didn’t feel confident that the precautions that they take would be sufficient. Wanted to give a warning since the menu and website assures that they use certified gf procedures including 1. a separate prep space and 2. changing gloves and aprons. This location does not follow these procedures and thus I would not consider it to be in compliance with the gf certification.
My pizza was safely prepared and I had no symptoms. I think the GF crust is mediocre compared to other pizzas I've had for this same price or less. I was pleased to see they offered a GF brownie, which I didn't try.

Always knowledgeable and kind. One of our favorite places to go when we visit.
I have eaten at several Mellow Mushroom locations and have never had a problem. They always take great care in the preparation of my GF pizza.
They have a nice selection of toppings and the gluten free crust taste good. I've eaten here a few times and haven't ever gotten sick. They put lots of the toppings on, didn't feel skimpy.
I don't know if there are any other gluten free options on the menu as I went there for the pizza.
They have lots of other options for the rest of my family and the kids like it.
They are usually busy and aren't the fastest place so allow extra time.
I'll be going back again as it is one of my favorite places in Branson.
This may be a chain, but they do a great job! They have 4 certified gluten free pizzas and use a separate oven.
The staff was friendly and helpful. The food was very delicious. Definitely recommend.
Great selection, good tasting pizza, knowledgeable about gluten. GF pizza brought separately to table. Would eat there again.
Their pizza is certified GF and they use a separate oven. The pizza is always delicious and I eat here every month. I always have the mushroom pizza.
They offer a gluten free crust and many pizzas can be made gluten free. Server was very nice and knowledgeable. They claim that they take precautions to to ensure there is no cross contamination. The pizza was delicious and I felt very comfortable eating there! Overall 10/10 experience and I will be returning!
They only offer 4 types of pizza (or a combination of their ingredients) on the gluten free crust. They are careful about cross contamination and even carry it to your table separately from anything else ordered. staff is knowledgeable
My child had the gluten free pizza. She is SO SO SO SICK after eating their gluten free pizza.
What a great place! My daughter was able to order a gluten free pizza all for herself. They let us know that someone else would specifically bring hers out to keep it away from ours. The guy brought it out with gloves on and walked behind the other pizzas. They waited to give it to her until the pizzas closes to her we’re placed on the table.
The service was slow. We were sitting for over an hour before the food came. This is the second time this happened.
The food was good. They seemed to be knowledgeable.
They have a certified area just for gluten free items. The chef brought out my daughter's pizza to make sure no one touched it. They go above and beyond to keep you safe. We were very impressed. My daughter also loved her pizza .
One of my favorite places to go when in Branson!! Not too long of a wait for a spot and food!! Sever goes over the options with you. someone in the kitchen works on your order in a separate area!!! Love the food!!
Pizza was awful! Crust was the worst gf crust I’ve ever had
Ordered Mighty Meaty gluten free pizza. Crust was standard 10”, super thin gluten free. Plenty of meat/cheese toppings, wouldn’t say it was overloaded (GF crust probably couldn’t handle more). Very tasty. Family ordered two other pizzas with traditional crust. GF was served first by a separate server wearing gloves. I appreciated the effort to minimize cross contamination.
My daughter has Celiac disease. She ordered a gluten free pizza. They were really careful with her food. They brought hers out first and was wearing gloves to bring it to her. She was actually able to enjoy her dinner with out worrying of getting sick. Definitely will return here.
Amazing cauliflower crusts! Notified our server that I had celiac and she let me know they cook all of their gluten free items in completely separate kitchen!! Our group be returning!
We went here last night. They have a seperate area for gf food prep. Sta was knowledgeable. We had no problems. Orders pepperoni pizza. Celiac.
Great pizza....did not get sick and was not too spicy!

Ate here on a rare kids-free date with my husband and it was a great experience. Nice staff. I had the GF veggie pizza with light cheese (they do offer vegan cheese). The waiter explained everything they do to avoid cross-contamination to make sure my food is safe... including changing clothes, washing hands, separate prep area, etc. The chef who made the pizza is the one who brought it out to me so no other person touched it. I was impressed. Would go back! Also got GF Apple cider!
You can have any pizza made GF by selecting that option (I ordered online and made a note that it was for a Celiac customer). My son is the one with Celiac and he had no reaction. 🤗
Regardless of having "certified gluten free" crusts & ingredients I was cross contaminated at this restaurant. The ingredients themselves may be gluten free, but appropriate food handling measures were not used to prevent cross contamination.
I mentioned I had celiac disease and needed gluten free. The manager went over the menu with me to let me know which items he could certify came from a gluten free facility or was labeled gluten free. I had the build your own and it was brought out separately by the manager. It was the good, the crust was the typical thin crust pizza but it wasn’t burned.
I have Celiac Disease and it’s hard to find places to eat that you don’t have to worry about cross contamination. I’ve ate here twice and it’s very good and no issues. Other than wishing it was more affordable, so we could eat here more often, it was very good and I GREATLY appreciate all they do for those with allergies, etc!!
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.
Great food! No reactions. Not a lot of choices other than pizza but it was good.
Great place and great pizza! Three of us with Celiac and absolutely no issues. The food does take longer to come out but, that is because they have one person doing the gluten free prep and cooking so there is no chance of contamination. The menu is clearly marked and I have zero complaints. We will definitely be back.
Dedicated kitchen for gluten free. They certify 5 pizzas. They are extremely knowledgeable and helpful. Must state you have celiac or wheat allergy and you need allergy prep. Different chef in completely different kitchen and oven will prepare. Menu states clearly which ingredients are safe. We ordered celiac sons for allergy prep and mine with gluten free crust. The kitchen manager came out to verify that this was how I intended it he did not want anyone sick. My husband ordered gluten free but chose jalapenos which caused chef to come out again to make sure we knew that ingredient wasn't from a certified source. Felt very safe. Pizza was delicious!

Had might meat pizza with GF crust & vegan cheese & it was excellent! Had the gf brownie for dessert too. Very sensitive celiac & had zero issues. Update ordered it a second time & excellent!
Best gfree pizza I have eaten in a while. They are not speedy so be prepared to wait. It is worth it.
Felt really safe eating the pizza that I got. They do a really good job of keeping everything clean.
Wasn’t impressed by the pizza though, it tasted pretty generic and I’ve had better. I think the crust is udi’s or some other brand that I’ve had before, and they only have 10”. The sauce and cheese and toppings were just fine. Not bad, not amazing. I’d probably come here again!
Edited 3/19/25:
I was really craving pizza and salad and this location was very convenient so I decided to give it another chance. I am glad I did. I got a Greek salad and I got a gluten-free cosmic karma and they were both delicious!
I want to start by saying I have been to more than a few MM and had my fair share of GF pizzas from all over. I did not enjoy my pizza here last night. I have gotten the Kosmic Karma from other MM and loved it but didn’t here. I will not be coming to this location again.
Delicious salads and pizza (I had the GF veggie) and cider to wash it down with. Caring staff that is very helpful. I loved Mellow Mushroom before my celiac diagnosis and am glad that I can continue to enjoy it without any issues.
