Nice vibe when you walk in! Told it was going to be 15 min but were seated in 10. Ordered a seasonal draft, although "dude" really didn't have much insight except for it's name (which I don't remember!). It was cold and served promptly after pouring. We ordered the Maui Wowie pizza (Med). Yummy!!!! The chicken wasn't over cooked and... More

All the Mellow Mushroom Pizza places in North Carolina are great. Pizza is fresh and lots to eat. Very kid friendly place and can accommodate large groups very well. No doubt we will return.

Lets start with the good things. The service and the location. They are both good and Mellow Mushroom is located in a great complex that is suitable to walk around after a big meal. What could improve? The amount of grease put into every meal. I have eaten there three times, one with my roomate one with my boyfriend and... More

I especially like the location of this Mellow Mushroom. It's in an interesting and historic part of town. The pizzas are delicious, but very expensive. They do have gluten-free pizza, which I really appreciate for my friends with wheat allergies. The atmosphere is fun, and the service is excellent.

We went to a couple of Mellow Mushroom Pizza's during our stay in NC and our favorite was the one in Durham. The pizza is great and there is a good selection of craft beer. The waiter had an Icelandic/Scandinavian name but we forgot (and were a little shy) to ask him if he was from Iceland (like us).

Pizza not bad for the south. Yuppie version. Good selection of beer. Staff very friendly and helpful. Great place to stop after walking the tobacco trail.

Visited this place for the 1st time with my in laws back in Oct 2011 and fell in love with the place. Pizzas were awesome and fresh. I loved that I could get a small pan pizza just the way I like it. Great family place, can get busy at times but worth the wait. Cannot wait to go back... More

First time visit. We went with friends who have visited before. We really enjoyed the pizza. We also had the pretzels as an appetizer. The four of us each had a different pizza. I had the Mighty Meaty Pizza and my partner had the Philosopher pizza. Both were excellent. Our server Macille was perfect. Friendly and really cheerful.
