text: I really wish I was writing a Hooray but I am not The Uptown location was not my first rodeo with the Mushroom and will not be my last The Mushroom is usually solid artisan pizza just not this time I started visiting different Mellow Mushrooms about ten years ago The Jerk pizza has always been my gotonnI went to the Uptown location for a business lunch Not too bad We got seated in less than a minute The menu did not have my favorite but I am the type of person that is willing to try many different things So I asked our waitress for a recommendation and was led to the Mellowterranean A grilled chicken pizza with onions roasted red peppers black olives chives feta mozzarella and tzatziki sauce Sounds like a homerun ehnnTwo things to note about this pizzannGigantic roasted red pepper laid out on the pizza This is not convenient to eat and the texture and amount just make this strange and unappealingnnSecond yes the tzatziki is pretty tasty but I found myself using it to cover up the other tastes A condiment should compliment not be needed to cover up the the rest of the dishnnLastly the cheese bread appetizer Oh how I laughed The look on my associates face was priceless To quote Is this cheese on hotdog buns LolI almost spit water out my nose when he said that To be fair what we were brought looked nothingand I do meannothinglike the picture you see on Yelp Maybe they were out of bread and went with the old McGuyver that shit methodbut hotdog buns is being nice about itnnSo why three stars if the whole experience was less than decent Because I know the Mellow Mushroom as a whole I know that this is the only experience I have had that was disappointing Maybe it was an off day maybe it was blah blah blah Regardless of what it was I would go back and expect things to be a much better experience Would I recommend or order what I have had Not a chance but I would not exclude them from my list of pizza joints based on one bad experience either
