Mellow Mushroom Owensboro

Great gluten free pizza!

Always a great time at Mellow Mushroom! They have a big menu with tons of variety, and plenty of options for dietary restrictions. They can make the pretzels vegan- but the beer cheese is a must, and save it for your crust! There are clearly marked vegetarian dishes in most menu sections, including some vegan and gluten free options as well. Our service was great! They have a ton of drink options, with or without alcohol.

I will say the beer list was extensive. They have lots of options, and that's a big bonus for them, and I usually have a great time. However, recently I went in for a veggie pizza because it is Lent and the pizza I ordered originally comes with olives, but I have a food sensitivity to olives and can't eat it and informed my server of this and asked that it be replaced with banana peppers, and was told it wouldn't be a problem. The pizza came out with the olives AND banana peppers, which is an honest mistake, but I can't eat it nor can I pick off the olives, because if I eat one by accident, then I'm going to have bad digestive problems. I don't usually do this, but I had to send it back. The server was very apologetic and said she'd have them remake it. I didn't mind to wait, I know on a busy Friday night it can take a while. But my pizza came back maybe 5 minutes later. I was surprised and concerned because there was no way if they made a whole new pizza that it was done that quickly. I turned the pan a bit to check, and sure enough, olives. They had just picked through the pizza and brought it back out, they hadn't even gotten them all. If i wasn't sensitive to the olives, I would have picked them off myself. I'm pretty sure, but I could be wrong, that that is a heal violation of some sort. It's really gross at any measure that they just picked it over, but I had informed the waitress initially, and when they brought out the wrong pizza that it was due to a food sensitivity, so that was twice. So they are not food sensitivity friendly, that is for sure, which is concerning because they offer gluten free pizzas and that done incorrectly can cause worse problems than the olives on my pizza would have. Anyway, they did finally make a brand new pizza, and they didn't charge me for it, though I do usually insist on paying, I didn't this time because it's just super not okay. So if you have food sensitivities, don't eat here.
