The house GF pizza is so freaking good! All the toppings were great! I also loved the salad but they market it vegan too taking off the meats. The only thing I was unsure about was the GF brownie and it has buckwheat. Luckily I learned buckwheat isn’t wheat at all. Overall, great pizza.
My family was in VA beach last week and we ate at Mellow Mushroom twice. Our son has celiac and we were happy to learn about their certified gluten free safe pizza. He went with the Mighty Meaty pizza twice and had was so happy the leftovers tasted great the next day, which isn’t always the case with GF pizza. Highly recommend!
My visit to this restaurant ended with me getting contaminated. Baked wings with no sauce were very tasty. I got the GF house special pizza. Barely any cheese and it was cold and it was just ok tasting. Plus the service was not very good. I hate to say it because we’ve had better results at other Mellow Mushroom restaurants but I won’t return.
Very impressed with how they deal with GF requirements. We stopped in mid-afternoon just to confirm they had a gluten free menu, to help us decide whether to have dinner there. The hostess asked if we needed GF for celiac or just preference, then explained in detail how they do GF, which was impressive, as they have a separate kitchen area for GF and specific safety practices. Four of the 10-12 pizzas just come GF, but all the pizzas can be made GF. Later at dinner, we had an enthusiastic server who was eager (Dylan) who very specifically explained the GF practices again, answered our questions, expressed enthusiasm for this outlet and all the other Mellow Mushroom outlets for their dedication to GF needs. He also made suggestions for other GF-favorable restaurants in the area, and since Virginia Beach is a tourist area with a lot of visitors, we very much appreciated the info! We will look for Mellow Mushrooms when we crave GF pizza! Highly recommend.
Mellow Mushroom is a franchise pizza chain with ~170 restaurants. The one we visited in Virginia Beach is on 33rd street pretty much on the beach. Nice. They have a dedicated gluten free space in the kitchen as well as a separate oven. Staff was knowledgeable. They offer 4 10" pizzas gluten free. Pretty much the 4 options you'd think they'd be. I had the Meaty Mighty with too much meat and it came on a metal plate, which is a handy way to keep pizzas from picking up any flour elsewhere in the kitchen. Pizza crust was OK, but I haven't found any good gf pizza crust yet, and so was the pizza. My wife enjoyed her gluttony bruscetta and pizza. I felt comfortable that they were giving it a serious try, even though it's hard to imagine pizza places ever being perfectly gluten free.
This is one of the only places in the area that we know of where you can get chicken wings that are baked and not put in a fryer. They are delicious! We really enjoy the gf pizzas as well. Everyone has always seemed knowledgeable about food restrictions and taken the necessary precautions when putting in our order. We’ve had nothing but positive experiences here.
Can order any of their speciality pizzas on a 10” gluten-free crust. So delicious and honestly couldn’t even tell the crust was gluten-free (aside from the fact that it was thinner than my boyfriend’s regular pizza crust). They also have a gluten-free brownie on the menu!
I have celiac and have ate here at least 3 different occasions and have not gotten sick. However my celiac symptoms are inconsistent and really depends on how much gluten I accidentally consumed. They have a gluten free cauliflower crust which has a noticeable cauliflower flavor which I’m not too crazy about.
Gf crust. No reaction.
