Mellow Mushroom Hickory - The Story

The restaurant is a colorful, eclectic space. The modern exterior of the building is made of terra-cotta stucco. A spacious patio provides ample room for outdoor dining, and an award-winning Mel sign sits out front. Inside, large mushroom sculptures hang from the ceiling, and an intricate purple mural spans the length of the dining room. A lime green latticed mirrored bar creates a playful focal point. A Wizard and a Dude sculpture, as well as a shroom banner featuring Mellow characters, add a touch of whimsy to the space. Star-sparkled booths and neon lights round out the colorful design.

Customer Reviews

I’ve been a fan of Mellow Mushroom since my first visit at their Asheville location two decades ago. Was quite excited when they opened locations in Winston- Salem and now in Hickory. Their specialty pizzas aren’t your typical run of the mill PJ’s, PH, or Domino’s. Portions are pretty generous as well. I’ve always been a fan of their Cosmic Karma because every time I pluck that first slice, the never-ending string of melted cheese reminds me that I’m in for a treat. They also rotate and keep a great beer menu.

I loved the pizza and I loved the atmosphere. It’s such a neat place for young people and professionals to just hang out and eat good food. It was my first time eating mellow mushroom as we don’t have that chain where I’m originally from but I’m glad I gave it a shot and I will definitely be coming back. Shout out to my first time waitress, Jenna!
