Mellow Mushroom Franklin

Always a good choice when you're looking for gluten-free pizza. Expect a wait most days unless it's the middle of the week mid day. They have very fun mocktails that you can also add alcohol to. There is an extensive beer list as well. If you're starving when you get there I suggest getting a salad first as it will come out faster than pizza.

Located in the heart of Franklin, this quirky, eccentric pizza chain first opened its doors in 1974 in Atlanta, Georgia. Now, over 200 franchises are tossing up and handing out made from scratch pies topped with quality meats and fresh toppings done in a variety of ways. Or simply done your way. Arriving on a Saturday evening found this location the hub of local interest with over a 45 minute wait time for a table. Even the corner libation station, offering craft brews, cocktails and wine, was hosting a steady line of customers across the front. Opting to order for takeout, I perused the fine art on display and spent some time outside on the patio enjoying the evening. My choice of pie was the Mighty Meaty with a mix of pepperoni, Italian sausage, ground beef, chunks of honey ham and strips of applewood-smoked bacon. Mellow’s own red sauce and mozzarella topped thick, chewy edge hand tossed crust. Quality does come at a cost, but I have yet to be be disappointed.

What a great place. The food was fantastic and everyone was friendly and prompt. It was very busy due to a weekend festival happening downtown but we were still seated in less than an hour for a party of 7. We had pretzel bites and pizza and calzones and all of it was delicious to look at and to eat. The house sauce/dressing is super good. If you haven't been, really..go try it. You wont be disappointed.

The best pizza crust you'll ever eat! A party of 6 adults, we had: Pretzel bites- the sipping sauce was amazing and not your typical pretzel bites sauce. Brushetta Large Buffalo Ranch Chicken pizza Large Cheese pizza Large BBQ Chicken pizza Equally all delicious and creative in design. Clarissa was our waitress and she was so nice and efficient! Def worth a stop and try a slice!

4 ⭐️ - good pizza option We were crazy enough to go during the Dicken’s Festival weekend. Their thin crust pizzas and spinach artichoke dip were great. We were a party of 13 and we got several pies and all werw good. The Holy Shitake was our favorite. High five for the great service despite the crazy crowd (including my own group).
