Review of Mellow Mushroom

I was thrilled to find a dive bar (I say that with love) and pizza place with gf options right on Broadway in downtown Nashville! Sat at the bar and our bartender/server was very nice and efficient. Menu states that all pizzas are available with gf crust but they actually have 4 options that every ingredient (from crust to sauce to toppings) is certified gluten free and prepared in a dedicated area. I was really impressed. The options are the House Special, a veggie pizza, a “meat lovers” style, and one called Kosmic Karma - I can’t remember the toppings for that one. I had the meat lovers and the sausage and pepperoni were high quality but the bacon was one the the best pieces of bacon I have ever had. It wasn’t just crumbles - it was over 1” strips! Great cheese, too. SLIGHT complaint - while the bottom of the crust was nice and crisp, under the toppings wasn’t quite done. However, that is VERY common with any gf crust when you have a generous layer of ingredients. It wasn’t even worth a star deduction to me. Just being able to sit at a bar and eat pizza with friends while listening to live music was a thrill!
