Everyone loves a good slice of pizza, but carryout from the local chain gets old pretty quick. If you’re looking for a joint that delivers on both taste and atmosphere, Mellow Mushroom is the place to go. Not only does it have a funky, psychedelic atmosphere, but also some of the most gourmet and mouthwatering pies you’ve ever tasted.
With several franchises across Texas, Mellow Mushroom is by far the most unique place around to grab a slice of pizza. Pictured is the Beaumont location, which has a completely different design from any of the other restaurants!
Inside, the atmosphere is one of whimsy and imagination. Funky decor adorns the ceiling, walls, and floor, turning an ordinary meal into an unforgettable, psychedelic adventure.
Outdoor seating is also available, and it comes with no less funky of an ambiance. Cooler evenings and earlier sunsets are on the horizon, which means it's almost time for patio dinners. When night falls, the porch lights come on and transform this place into an ethereal fantasy land.
Crack open a menu and prepare to be awestruck by all the choices. You could almost make a meal out of the appetizers alone! Soft pretzels, "Magic Mushroom" soup, and pepperoni & cheese garlic bread are just a few of the many mouthwatering options to choose from.
Nine different specialty pies feature expertly-paired ingredients that make every bite a transcendental experience. Black truffle oil, pesto swirls, and shaved parmesan only scratch the surface of the unparalleled deliciousness awaiting you.
Feel free to build your own pie if none of the menu options sound appealing. Pick a protein, cheese, veggies, and finish off with a swirl of pesto, blue cheese, ranch dressing, or BBQ sauce. Stick with the original crust, or opt for thin to keep things on the lighter side.
Do you struggle with indecisive taste buds? Or perhaps nobody in your group has the same palate? No worries; just mix and match! Half it up with two different flavor combos to satisfy the entire table.
