I’ve had mostly good experiences here! Only four of their pizzas are available “certified gluten free” and those are prepared with fresh gloves in a separate area of the kitchen that only houses the gluten free ingredients. My only caveat is to make sure the server knows you need a certified gluten free pizza if you’re sensitive, since all the pizzas can be put on gluten free crusts without other precautions. Once I forgot to emphasize this and ended up sick.

I would never eat here if you are sensitive. I got extremely ill and had to go to the ER due to continued vomiting and stomach pain. Not worth it

Probably the safest mellow mushroom I've ever been to. The server specifically asked if I had celiac (I had never been asked this before). When I told her yes, she then told me not to use the paper straws because they use glue to hold them together that contains gluten. They went above and beyond to make sure they didn't cross contaminate!

We had 2 gluten free pizzas and 2 side salads. Food was delicious and my celiac daughter had no issues. Mellow is a safe restaurant for us wherever we go and this one proved to be the same.

Our waiter, Andrew, was wonderful. He assured me our gluten free pizza would be delivered to the table uncontaminated. It was nice to enjoy a meal out with our celiac toddler. A former employee of Mellow that we know had assured me they were careful there. We had a wonderful experience and we felt safe feeding our toddler their food. Thanks for caring, Mellow!

Definitely a hit or miss type of place. The actually care they take in preventing contamination seems to depend on how busy the restaurant is. And it's super expensive for a thin, crusty pizza.

Got their mushroom truffle pizza GF. They take extra precaution to cook GF pizza. It was delicious. We also had the spinach dip app by substituting the bread for veggies. Overall great options and felt fine after eating.

The server was very careful with listening to my food allergies. He confirmed food is cooked in a separate oven and that they take precautions to avoid cross-contamination. The pizza was very good! Felt great afterwards as well 🙂

Their pizza is certified GF and they use a separate oven. The pizza is always delicious and I eat here every month. I always have the mushroom pizza.

The waitress said they prepare the pizza separately but it's cooked in the same oven. She then proceeds to bring out my gf pizza sitting between my family's regular pizza. Not only that, it took nearly 1 hour (54 minutes to be exact) to get this food out on a Tuesday afternoon. There was maybe 6 tables total in the restaurant.

I didn't eat. Can't trust a pizza she piled regular pizza on top of
