Mellow Mushroom

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!!

One of the best GF pizza I have ever had.

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

Great food! No reactions. Not a lot of choices other than pizza but it was good.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

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.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Delicious GF free pizza. Super fast service.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Good food and felt comfortable with the staff

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!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Waitress was very knowledgeable about what toppings were gluten free and knew about the proper precautions.

Not safe for Celiac. EVERY TIME I’ve eaten here I have ended up having a very negative body reaction. Cross contamination is extremely high and I do not feel proper safety measures are taken even after informing the waiter/waitress of the severity of my concerns about food safety.

They have the best gluten free crust of anywhere in Rock Hill that I have tried and they used to be safe for me, but recently I have had a reaction so I guess they aren't being as careful about cross contamination as they used to.

Celiac friendly?

No

They handle celiac and gluten free very well. They have GF items clearly marked on their menu. The staff is knowledgeable about celiac, gluten free, cross contamination, etc.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Staff was very knowledgeable about celiac and the gf offerings. The server explained that not all of the typically gf items (like pineapples) are on their separate gf line but the ones indicated in the menu are (pineapples don’t belong on pizza anyway). My daughter was very pleased with both the flavor and the portion size of her small pizza. Thanks! We will return!

Amazing gf pizza! There are about 4-5 gf pizza options that they make with “strict allergen protocols” in a separate area of the kitchen I believe. The toppings are kept separate from the regular pizza toppings. You can also build your own from the toppings that they keep separate. Everyone has always been knowledgeable about gf and a person even brings the pizza out separate from other meals if you are with other people. I am thankful to have a place to get pizza!

Very knowledgeable staff. They take gluten free/celiac disease very careful. Change gloves, makes the pizza in a separate part of the kitchen. And the cook brings it out instead of the waitress to avoid CC.

Not a good choice for me with Celiac’s disease. Only one appetizer, 2 types of pizza, one dessert and none of the salads. The menu says it marks what’s gluten free and nothing is marked. When I asked about that it’s because pretty much nothing is gluten free. Not a good choice at all if you have celiacs disease. Looks to be a great pizza place for people without food issues or allergies.

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.

We got the gf pizza and it came on a separate tin platter. They brought it out before everyone else’s meal just to keep it separate.

What I loved about this place was that they had delicious food all around, for both the people with Celiac and the people who can eat gluten. Everyone left happy. Also we spoke with the owner, and he didn’t freak out when we said our daughter has Celiac. Often restaurant owners will freak out and immediately start saying that they can’t guarantee our food will be safe. This owner was very friendly and said we were in good hands. My daughter is very sensitive to cross-contamination, and she did not get sick! Hooray!

Gluten free pizza is delicious! We find it difficult to find pizza that doesn’t have a risk of cross-contamination, but we feel comfortable eating here because of the precautions.

I’ve eaten here twice and have been glutened both times with gf pizza. One time they told my friend a soup was gluten free that actually had flour in it and he ended up vomiting all over there bathroom. Terrible all around.

Celiac friendly?

No

The gluten-free pizza has decidedly shrink in size since the last time I was here. Not particularly tasty, either. Also, mid-pandemic, several of the staff were not wearing masks properly while in the kitchen.

Server was very knowledgeable about what ingredients were certified gluten free. They also have an allergy protocol.

The pizza was a thin crust as most gluten free crusts are, but very tasty. The size was a little smaller than the regular small size.

My family and I love this place! I am a sensitive celiac and so is my son and neither one of us had a reaction after eating here. The waitress was well versed on celiac and I also have a dairy allergy. I ended up getting a small Holy Shitake pizza without cheese and butter and with vegan cheese and gluten crust. My son got a pepperoni pizza with gluten free crust. The pizza's were both cooked in a separate dedicated oven.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

The nice waiter asked the restaurant manager to come speak to my table about the gluten free precautions they take. I was informed that if I have celiac, to not order the oven baked wings because they are baked in the same oven as the normal pizzas. I am glad that they were honest! She said that the only menu items that they will 100% guarantee are gluten free are their 4 gluten free pizzas (listed in small font at the bottom of the pizza section of the menu). These pizzas are made in a gluten free designated section of the kitchen. I appreciate that the manager took the time to speak with me.

I had the Kosmic Karma with the pesto swirl and it was delicious. There are 3 other gluten free certified pizza options. Their gluten free crust was very good and cooked well. I enjoyed my meal and will be back!

The gluten free opinions were great and I didn’t get sick. I eat a BBQ chicken pizza on a gluten free crust and.it was amazing! There is not a special gluten free menu but the staff is very helpful on telling you what is gluten free or not. They also cook your gluten free pizza in a specific area. Thanks Mellow Mushroom!

The pizza here is a bit on the expensive side but I've had it on several occasions and I've never gotten sick. They seem very knowledgeable and they even have a dedicated space for gluten free. It's really the only safe place that I've found for pizza around here!

Celiac friendly?

Jenna was our server today, and when we told her our son has “a severe gluten allergy,” (even though he has Celiac) she immediately told us they’d change gloves, clean everything thoroughly, etc... that’s the first experience we have had since his diagnosis in May where the server seemed super knowledgeable.

We have eaten at this MM with him before, and he didn’t get sick after! We definitely recommend this restaurant!!!

I eat hear probably way more then I should but it is by far the safest restaurant in my area for gluten free. The staff is very knowledgeable on gluten free and how important it is. They have a dedicated kitchen space, utensils and oven for the gluten free orders and they even bring your pizza out separate from other's at your table upon request so the chances of CC or very low here. I have never once gotten sick from eating at Mellow and would absolutely recommend it to anyone with celiac disease. Also try to gluten free brownie also it is an absolute treat!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

They prep the gluten free pizza in a separate area

They are now using the corporate pizza dough and it is DISGUSTING ! The local vender they use to have is no longer in business to offer them their gluten free pizza dough which was awesome!!!!!! Corporate needs to go back in the kitchen lab and work on a better gluten free dough.

I've literally been eating mellow mushroom since I was 6. it's one of my dad's favorite places that he's been going to since like the 80s. When I found out I was celiac at 17, I just switched crusts. They have one of my favorite gf crusts and their italian sausage is good. I have never gotten sick at this location.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

My picky daughter said the GF tastes just like regular pizza! ❤ I felt bad eating our thick regular dough next to her, but she was very content with the GF. Especially when she found a GF brownie on the menu! Waitress and manager were very knowledgeable about avoiding CC, so mom was very happy. We'll be back often!

Two words... Thank you. Thank you for having a pizza that is delicious and tastes like a pizza. I had just about given up. Great experience. I was told they have a separate prep area. I'm a celiac and did not get sick. Well done Mellow Mushroom!! I’ve had MANY great experiences here. A note to the reviewer that mentions salads. Those are not marked as gluten free and they are not prepared in the same dedicated kitchen area as the GF pizzas.

It's a nice try but I put this on my "never again" list after the third time I got sick. It's a shame because the pizza is delicious. I have a friend whose daughter is celiac and she apparently is usually fine so it may depend on how sensitive you are, but I would not recommend it as safe.

The gluten free pizza was very good, I’m just not sure it was “gluten free” friendly. I believe it was the reason I don’t feel good today.( ; _ ; )
