Mellow<br />
Mushroom<br />
Founded by 3 Georgia college<br />
students, the first Mellow Mushroom,<br />
a funky hole-in-the-wall pizza joint,<br />
opened its doors in 1974 and quickly<br />
attracted crowds that spilled out onto<br />
the sidewalks.<br />
Touted as “bohemian-chic,” the<br />
Mellow Mushroom has its own unique<br />
flair while maintaining the fun, energetic<br />
and trendy atmosphere that distinguishes<br />
them from the typical pizza<br />
joint. By serving the finest products<br />
possible, the Mellow Mushroom has<br />
become synonymous with quality.<br />
Details – Soups, Pretzels, Bruschetta,<br />
Salads, Pizza, Calzones, and Hoagies. 71<br />
beers on tap. Catering available.<br />
Hours: Monday - Thursday 11 a.m. to 11<br />
