From a small pizza joint in Atlanta to a nationwide phenomenon, discover the story behind our funky, art-filled restaurants and our passion for gourmet pizza and craft beer.
Mellow Mushroom was born in Atlanta, Georgia, when three college students decided to open a pizza place that was different from anything else. They wanted to create a space where people could enjoy great food in a fun, eclectic atmosphere.
We became known for our funky, art-filled restaurants and our connection to the music scene. Each location featured unique artwork and became a gathering place for artists, musicians, and free spirits.
As our reputation grew, we began expanding beyond Georgia. Our commitment to quality ingredients and creative pizza combinations helped us stand out in every new market we entered.
We embraced the craft beer movement, curating extensive selections of local and regional craft beers to complement our gourmet pizzas. This commitment to quality beverages became a cornerstone of the Mellow Mushroom experience.
With over 150 locations across the United States, Mellow Mushroom continues to serve up stone-baked pizzas with creative toppings in our signature funky atmosphere. We remain committed to our roots while constantly innovating.
The principles that guide everything we do
We source the freshest, highest-quality ingredients for our pizzas, from our homemade dough to our specialty toppings.
Each Mellow Mushroom location is deeply connected to its local community, supporting artists, musicians, and local causes.
Our funky, art-filled restaurants celebrate creativity and provide a unique, memorable experience for every guest.
