Mellow Mushroom

My wife and I have nothing but praise for the Mellow Mushroom Restaurant. We have ordered from them several times. There Chef's Salads are the best in Washington. There Pizza are delicious. This is the only place we will eat now in Adam's Morgan. There staff is the best. Hats off to the Cooks. Please give it a try. Special thanks to David for introducing us to this fabulous restaurant.

I went on a Tuesday, which apparently is trivia night. More on that later. Place is nestled right in the high activity portion of the Adams Morgan strip, a door or two down from Tattoo Paradise. There's an upstairs, possibly a roof, but I didn't see it myself. I did see a patio that comfortably seats three tables of <3. The staff seems capable, and moderately friendly, which is like the best friendly. You know what I mean, they're helpful, and knowledgeable, without being that overly, weird, bubbly that is just kinda fake. Great selection on draft beer, without being too...uppity. It's a pizza joint, and while that isn't really kicking down any doors, it hits the spot. They have a great happy hour price point, so check that out. Tuesday is trivia night. Get there on time, and make sure you have a space at the tables closer to the kitchen. This is where trivia host guy has his set up, and his speaker only blesses those in that area. (Which is a plus, if you aren't there for trivia, and don't want to hear mundane questions about something random no one cares about.) All in all, the place is cool. Check it out!

Decided to make a stop here to sit, talk, and have a nice pie. Even though it was busy, they had room for two more. Service was nice and did not seemed bothered that we stayed a little longer to continue our talk, but we compensated hopefully in our tip. Now to the good stuff. Beer and wine selections were as diverse and limited as any other place around, so if you are looking at just a bar - don't go here. Yet if you are looking at a pie that is full of flavor- this is the place. We ordered the largest one for two people. Needless to say, a box was needed as there was no way we were going to eat all of it. Partly due to the hummus appetizer we started with. That was both a good and bad call as we really did not need it, but it was very good. Enough for four or more people to enjoy as an appetizer. The pizza was a little dark, borderline burnt on the bottom, which made it easier to pick up by hand, but for some of us who like to eat our pies with utensils, cutting it was a little difficult. Overall, would I go again. Absolutely. I would leave off the appetizer, order the pie,and have one drink (or two). The roof top was closed, which disappointed us, but it was still a great place to go.

Excellent food! Awesome Staff! Highly Recommend Visited with a large group and only gave them two hours notice. They welcomed us and set up tables exactly as we requested. The service for a large group was very friendly, fast and accurate. The servers got all of the 30 orders perfect even with our split checks. They have a great variety of pizzas and sandwiches. The food was excellent. The management and staff could not be better. We will definitely return!

This is my favorite place to go when I travel to DC for work. I end up here a few of the days I'm in town. The pizza is fantastic. But, get the pretzels, they are amazing. Great selection of beer, kind staff, and it's in Adams Morgan, so after Mellow Mushroom, go to Tryst and get some great coffee and enjoy a night out in DC.
