Mellow Mushroom Newport News - The Story

Inspired by the Newport News shipyard and local history, the restaurant features tributes to historic figures and monuments from around the area. The exterior of the building is made from Hokie stone, brick, and concrete block with a neutral color palette and large windows. Inside, guests are greeted by bold pops of red and orange. The east wall features a rendering of the SS America (renamed the SS Newport News), while the west wall includes notable local icons like Christopher Newport. An image of Ella Fitzgerald gives a spirited, sophisticated feel the space. The large, oval bar is reminiscent of a submarine sail. Not just impressive with its ample seating, the bar also features pendant lights made from World War II ship air horns, and underneath the cargo holds are filled with beer growlers.

Customer Reviews

The food was good. Only received 4 stars because the meatballs were cold. Yes I could of sent them back, but I didn't want them reheated and become tough. The place was nice inside, just wasn't what I expected. The Nautical theme threw me off. The booths were extra large which was nice. The pizza was really good.

This place deserves more stars than I can give. I got the Merry prankster large pizza with the Strawberry Limeade virgin drink, and let me tell you Not only was it THE BEST pizza I have ever had the drink was also delicious. The atmosphere was amazing with a beautiful mural and all sorts of artwork hanging from the ceiling as well as on the walls. It was so amazing that I can only imagine what it would be like to be a younger child in the restaurant. The service was impeccable and the waiters were so polite and helpful. Honestly it was one of the best dining experiences I have ever had and I can't wait to visit again!

I was so happy to see a place that had a completely separate vegan menu, making ordering very easy! The vegan pizza I got and the regular one my friend got were both good. My only qualm with my pizza is that I prefer smaller chunk sizes (thinner pineapple) for the toppings and Follow Your Heart cheese has a slight stickiness to it when melted. The crust was so good! The small pizza is enough for two people, especially if getting an appetizer. Our server was super friendly and checked on us just the right amount throughout our meal. Everything was clean, including the bathroom.

We were so appreciative for the wonderful service that we received tonight at Mellow Mushroom. My fiance has a very severe dairy allergy, so the non dairy cheese option is excellent. Matt, the manager, made sure our food was safe and delicious. Our server, Melissa, was super friendly, patient, and kind. Thank you so much!! ♥️

Very mellow spot with the most delicious pizza I've had in a while. The portion sizes are well worth it, and with today's economy that is a welcomed change. Wide variety of alcohol selection as well.
