As a previous patron of Mellow Mushroom (over 8 years ago), I was super excited when they introduced a gluten-free pizza crust. It was unfortunate that I didn't care for the crust at all. I gave it three tries (as I feel is only fair to do when a new item launches at a restaurant) and each time I could not eat the crust. And so I didn't go back to Mellow Mushroom again until about a month ago. Someone told me the company changed their gluten-free crust and it was not only edible, but also good. We gave it a try and agreed.
All Mellow Mushrooms have the new crust and it's made by a very good company, but it's a custom made crust for MM. I prefer the original crust from the company to the MM developed crust, but for a quick pizza fix on a weeknight, it's a great option. I can also get Daura gluten-free beer at our location (beer options vary per store).
It's been a long road for Mellow Mushroom and their gluten-free pizza journey and I'm glad they stuck with it, listened to gluten-free consumers and did right by them. Hopefully gluten-free diners that gave up on finding good gluten-free pizza at this chain will give them another try like we did. You might end up being pleasantly surprised!
