“January 31, 2026 - When traveling and you’re looking for good pizza . . . stop and try “ Mellow Mushroom’s” pizza! 🍕

Our first time stop ( Lynchburg, VA) at one of the 160 locations of Mellow Mushroom . . . 🍄 This organization started in Atlanta , GA back in 1974! Over 50 years later, expanded in 17 states east of the Mississippi River!

Wasn’t crowded, the decor caught my eye! Maybe folks know of “ the healing properties” of magic mushrooms? ( wink 😉) Looks like a fun place, good size bar, several strategically placed TVs around the restaurant, for those who like to catch their favorite sports team in action! 😃👍

Our server, Wendy, handed us several colorful menus . . . convinced us of the freshness of a Greek style salad ! I was impressed with the beer selections ! I asked Wendy if the bar tender could fashion a “ black & tan” ? No problem!

After enjoying our Greek salad, Wendy asked if we liked to order an entree? We prefer a relaxed dining routine. . . sometimes when placing a salad & pizza order both items arrive at the same time! So we place our pizza order after finishing our salad. . . gives us time to talk politics & religion😳 , and our Grandkids ! 👍👍

Our pepperoni pizza , half with onions arrived 10 or 12 minutes later ! Pizza enthusiasts will immediately notice the style of pizza 🍕 to be a combination of style between a thin Neopolitan pizza & thicker crust pizza. I liked the fresh chewy dough, and extra cheese ! The sauce could use a bit more zesty seasonings , hey that’s just me. Overall a very good pizza , thank you! 🙏

Kudos to founders of Mellow Mushroom Mike Nicholson, Rocky Reeves, and Richard Brasch in 1974 !

“Great owner and coffee. Very popular at the farmers market.“

“Ate there the other day food was delicious. The people who run the place are very nice to! Close to the hospital.“

“My husband and I have ate here one time so far. Will be back. The food was out of this world (delicious). We are taking some of our friends with us next time to have lunch and we will not be eating any breakfast.“

“I love the yellow curry here! the staff is friendly, service is quick and the food is satisfying. this is our go-to spot for Thai!“

“TL:DR - variety of SE Asian food on the menu with good service and okay atmosphere.Not bad, but not to the point where I want to go back to try the same menu. The restaurant has variety, so I would like to try more things. I have tried Pad Thai, but I guess it wasn't up to my standard. The taste was there though if you want to just turn of your craving. Tom Yum soup was good. The flavor was there. Penang curry was hard to tell how good it was because we ordered it Thai spicy, so majority of taste was from the spice rather than the curry. They are spicy indeed and I have normal Korean spice tolerance. Pad Kaprow was a good menu. Not to the point that I would get it again, but it was worth trying. My friend enjoyed the samosas that were in the vegetable platter. I personally did not find anything particularly outstanding yet. Service was good. Our server was a Liberty University student, and he was friendly. I thought the restaurant was a bit messy, and I think that is because they blocked a section of their restaurant with chairs as soon as you walk in with no sign to show why. Otherwise, the decor and setting up a wide space in the middle with tables close to the wall was a very good choice of the restaurant.

Parking: parking at the back of the building and street parking in front of the building“

“The South of the boarder burger is the best! Burger have great flavor! Fried pickles, fries and onion rings great as well! Polite Service! highly recommend!“
