Mediocre gluten-free crust - Edit
We ordered the gluten-free crust , vegan pizza. Everything but the crust was good. The crust is still the same cardboard like crust we had when we tried it a few years ago. There is delicious gluten-free pizza crust available these days. This one isn’t one of them! I hope they’ll change it in the future!

Tasty pizza - Edit
I got the veggie pizza with vegan cheese and it was very good. Waitress made sure to let me know they brush butter and Parmesan on the crust so I ordered it without that.

Amazing - Edit
The first time I came here they gave me a to go menu and I didn’t see any of the vegan options that they had online so I didn’t really have any choices. I got a plain sandwich but it was still good. The next time I came they gave me the full menu and their teriyaki tempeh on vegan cheese pizza was delicious! I will be going back for more.

New cheese makes for gross food - Edit
Mellow Mushroom used to be our go-to local restaurant for meals when we were out running errands or too lazy to cook. We would go at least once a week for pizza or occasionally calzones. Then they swapped out the Daiya cheese for Follow Your Heart and we stopped going completely. Out of three members of our family, not one of us found the change to be positive and even after going back "just in case we needed another try" we are all completely disinterested in returning while they serve the new cheese.
Read moreHonestly, the "Vegan Gourmet" cheese is foul. I guess some people complained that Daiya wasn't "real cheese" enough, but what vegan really cares about that when the flavor is repulsive? The new cheese is atrocious to look at (it looks like clumpy, semi-liquefied yogurt) and tastes horrible. On a pizza with a lot of strong flavors (like a Thai Dye) it's tolerable, but on a simple pie with just cheese or minimal toppings, it's basically inedible.
Also, this is not a place to go if you have any time constraints. A simple order taken immediately can still take over an hour to get to the table, even in a practically empty restaurant. On a busy night, you might as well just get comfortable because you'll be there for hours.
They also, unfathomably, do not carry anything like apple juice for kids. When asked what kinds of juice they had we were told they might be able to get some pineapple or cranberry from the bar. What sit-down restaurant doesn't have apple juice? Not every family wants their kid drinking soda or HFCS-laden "lemonade" or "tea".
To be fair, their crust is usually excellent, the pretzels are amazing, and if you're not in a hurry the atmosphere is usually pleasant. But the new cheese takes a 7-8/10 experience and drops it to a 3/10 at best.
Pros: Multiple vegan options, Good pretzels/crust, Friendly wait-staff
Cons: Horrible vegan cheese substitute, Slow service, Too high up-charge for vegan options

9.5/10 - Edit
This place was amazing! My friend Lauren and I traveled about an hour and a half to get to this place, and it was totally worth it. I order the small 'Veg Out' pizza 🍕 but substituted the mozzarella cheese for the vegan cheese. 🧀 I devoured it! We definitely plan on going back!

Must-have veg dishes! - Edit
Superb veg dishes for all food lovers, especially Italian food fans. Tofu and tempeh are available as protein options on sandwiches and calzones, and Daiya cheese substitute is offered as well.
Read moreThe 'herb' veggie burger is supreme, the patty is unforgettable, and the whole burger can be vegan if you substitute the cheese for Daiya and hold the mayo.
Sides are scarce, but what is offered (chips/potatos) is delicious.
Pros: Superb veggie burger, Vegan made easy!, Great veg food as meat substitute
Cons: Small range of sides

Mellow Mushroom, very vegan friendly stop for pizza, sandwiches, and more! - Edit
Mellow Mushroom is a hippie themed pizza chain. Many items are vegetarian or easily vegan-izable (their website is very helpful with modification info, so check before you go). I ordered the half portion of the tofu hoagie. Make sure to request to make it vegan by holding the cheese and mayo (they do have vegan cheese available if you want!). I came away very satisfied with the sandwich, it was great quality and a good deal.
Read morePros: Nice vibe, Inexpensive, Excellent food
