Specialty Pizzas
Mellow Mushroom's specialty pizzas represent the creative heart of their menu — carefully crafted combinations that showcase different flavor profiles and ingredient pairings. Each has been tested and refined based on customer feedback and culinary intention.
The Holy Handgrenade
Mellow Mushroom's take on a classic combination: spicy Italian meats with traditional pizza flavors. The pizza features a robust blend of pepperoni, Italian sausage, and bacon, creating a meat-lover's dream. Not overwhelmingly spicy, but with a noticeable kick from the seasonings in the meats. The combination of different meat textures and flavors creates complexity rather than just heaviness.
Pepperoni, Italian sausage, bacon, mozzarella cheese, marinara sauce, Roma tomatoes, basil
The Kosmo
A vegetarian pizza that proves veggie pizzas can be as satisfying as meat-heavy options. Combines roasted vegetables with a blend of cheeses that creates a rich, complex flavor profile. The roasting of bell peppers and onions before they go on the pizza intensifies their natural sweetness and adds depth. Fresh herbs add brightness and prevent the pizza from feeling too heavy.
Roasted red peppers, roasted onions, fresh mushrooms, black olives, spinach, mozzarella cheese, ricotta cheese, marinara sauce, fresh basil, garlic
The Colossus
Leans into Mediterranean flavors with sun-dried tomatoes, feta cheese, olives, artichoke hearts, and a drizzle of olive oil. The flavor profile is brighter and more complex than a standard cheese pizza, with the salty brine of olives and feta balancing the sweetness of sun-dried tomatoes. This pizza feels more sophisticated than typical pizza shop fare.
Sun-dried tomatoes, feta cheese, Kalamata olives, artichoke hearts, spinach, mozzarella cheese, olive oil, garlic, marinara sauce, oregano
The Herbivore
A vegetarian pizza loaded with fresh vegetables and herbs that celebrate what vegetables taste like when treated properly. Features a variety of vegetables in different preparations — some roasted, some fresh — which creates textural and flavor variety. Rather than being overwhelming, the combination is balanced and harmonious.
Fresh zucchini, fresh squash, roasted red peppers, mushrooms, spinach, tomatoes, mozzarella cheese, fresh basil, garlic, marinara sauce, olive oil
The Carnivore
Absolutely loaded with different meats: pepperoni, sausage, ham, and bacon all come together in a symphony of meat flavors. Each meat contributes something different — the pepperoni has a slight spice, the sausage is savory and herbed, the ham is salty and slightly sweet, and the bacon brings smokiness. It's unabashedly indulgent and completely unapologetic about it.
Pepperoni, Italian sausage, ham, bacon, mozzarella cheese, provolone cheese, marinara sauce, garlic
The Enlightened
Balances indulgence with relatively lighter ingredients. Features grilled chicken (not fried), fresh vegetables, and cheese in proportions that create a satisfying meal without being overly heavy. The chicken is seasoned well and provides protein without the heaviness of processed meats. Popular with people trying to eat a little lighter while still enjoying pizza.
Grilled chicken breast, roasted red peppers, spinach, mushrooms, mozzarella cheese, garlic, marinara sauce, fresh herbs
The Tuscan
Italian-inspired pizza featuring sun-dried tomatoes, prosciutto, fresh mozzarella, arugula (added after cooking), and a balsamic reduction. The combination of flavors is sophisticated without being pretentious. The prosciutto provides a salty, savory element, while the fresh arugula added post-bake provides peppery freshness. The balsamic reduction adds sweetness and acidity that ties everything together.
Prosciutto, sun-dried tomatoes, fresh mozzarella, feta cheese, marinara sauce, garlic, olive oil, arugula (added post-bake), balsamic reduction, fresh basil

Pizza Sizes & What They're Good For
Ordering Tip: Medium is the most ordered size and is the sweet spot for both price and portion. Two mediums instead of one large can give a group more variety while often coming in at a similar or slightly higher price. A family of four might order two mediums plus an appetizer for the best variety.
Gluten-Free Pizza
Certified gluten-free crust options are available at most locations. The gluten-free crust is made with a quality gluten-free flour blend — slightly crispier than wheat-based crusts, but genuinely good on its own merits. All specialty pizzas can be made on gluten-free crust, and build-your-own is fully available.
GF House Special
The signature loaded House Special on a certified gluten-free crust. All the great toppings, just on a GF base.

Pizza Quality Notes
Stone Oven Crusts
Mellow Mushroom's crusts are hand-tossed daily. The dough is made fresh, not pre-made. The stone oven cooking process creates a crust that's crispy on the outside while maintaining a light, airy interior. A properly hand-tossed crust has better structure and flavor than one pressed flat by a machine.
In-House Sauce
Mellow Mushroom makes their marinara sauce in-house with quality tomatoes and a blend of herbs and spices. The sauce is flavorful but not overwhelming — designed to complement the other pizza elements rather than dominate them. White sauce is made with cream, cheese, and garlic.
Real Mozzarella
The mozzarella used is real cheese, not a processed product. This makes a significant difference in how the cheese melts, browns, and tastes. Real mozzarella melts smoothly and develops a slight tan color from high-heat cooking. Cheese blends like mozzarella plus provolone add complexity to the final product.
Fresh Toppings
All vegetable toppings are fresh — not frozen or pre-cooked. Fresh vegetables have better flavor and texture. Meat toppings are high-quality from trusted suppliers: pepperoni has a proper snap, sausage is seasoned well, and bacon is real bacon.
Seasonal & Limited-Time Pizzas
Beyond the standard menu, Mellow Mushroom regularly introduces limited-time specialty pizzas that feature seasonal ingredients or creative new combinations. These rotate off the menu after their season ends. Limited-time pizzas are often where the kitchen team gets to be most creative.
Pricing by Location
Prices can vary slightly by location due to local cost of living, rent, and other regional factors. A large pizza in a lower-cost suburban area might run several dollars less than the same pie in a high-rent downtown spot. The prices on this page are approximate — always verify with your specific local restaurant.
