Mellow Mushroom prices vary by restaurant, but a useful 2026 budget is about $10 to $20 for a cheese pizza depending on size, roughly $25 to $33 for many large specialty pizzas at the locations reviewed, about $10 to $13 for Pretzel Bites, and around $14 to $16 for a basic build-your-own calzone.

A meal for two built around one medium specialty pizza and a shared appetizer can land near $31 to $40 before drinks, tax, and tip. There is no single national price sheet that stays accurate across all Mellow Mushroom restaurants. The chain has more than 160 locations in 17 states, many operated by franchisees, and the final price changes with restaurant, size, toppings, ordering channel, and delivery fees.

Mellow Mushroom Menu Prices

Mellow Mushroom’s current national menu includes stone-baked pizzas, build-your-own pies, Mellow Rollz, Pretzel Bites, wings, salads, burgers, hoagies, calzones, kids meals, vegan food, certified gluten-free items, desserts, drinks, sides, and sauces. Newer items include Super Pepp, Greek Feta Rollz, Magic Meatballs, the All-American Smashburger, Apple Harvest, Asian Crunch, Caesar Supreme, and Mellow Cobb. That lineup is quite different from older menu tables that still show retired or location-specific dishes.

The table below is a planning guide built from live or recently crawled location menus. It is not a chain-wide promise. Prices can move even between restaurants in the same state, and third-party delivery menus can carry a markup.

Menu item	Current planning price	Price context
Cheese pizza, small	$10.25 to $12.49 (about 21 to 25 minutes at $30 per hour)	10-inch pizza
Cheese pizza, medium	$13.25 to $16.49	14-inch pizza
Cheese pizza, large	$16 to $19.49	16-inch pizza
Large specialty pizza	About $25 to $33	Recipe and location matter
Pretzel Bites	$10 to $12.49	Shared appetizer
10 wings	$12 to $15.99	Sauce included at sampled stores
Build-your-own calzone	$14.35 to $15.75	Base price before some add-ons
Kids meal	$7.80 to $9.60	Current delivery-menu examples
Certified gluten-free specialty pizza	About $18.49 to $19.99	10-inch crust

A Fort Myers menu sample lists cheese pizzas at $12.49, $16.49, and $19.49 for small, medium, and large. A Pigeon Forge menu lists the same sizes at $10.25, $13.25, and $16. That spread is why a national exact-price table can mislead readers.

Pizza Size Changes the Value

The standard Mellow Mushroom crust still comes in three sizes. A small is 10 inches and is commonly cut into four slices. A medium is 14 inches with eight slices. A large is 16 inches with eight slices. Slice count does not tell you how much pizza you are buying because diameter changes surface area much faster than the number of slices.

Using the Pigeon Forge cheese prices, a 10-inch small costs $10.25 (about 21 minutes at $30 per hour) for about 78.5 square inches of pizza. That is roughly 13.1 cents per square inch. The 14-inch medium costs $13.25 for about 153.9 square inches, or about 8.6 cents per square inch. The 16-inch large costs $16 for about 201.1 square inches, or about 8 cents per square inch.

The large has about 156% more pizza area than the small while costing only about 56% more in that example. Even the medium has almost twice the area of the small for a price increase of only about 29%. If several people are sharing and leftovers are useful, the medium and large can offer much better food value than buying several small pies.

Specialty toppings change the math. One current Tennessee menu lists large Veg Out at $25, Funky Q Chicken and Holy Shiitake at $26, Mighty Meaty at $27, and House Special at $28. A recent Florida menu puts some large specialty pies near $32.95. The same pizza name can differ by several dollars across restaurants.

Specialty Pizzas

The present pizza lineup includes Super Pepp, Great White, Holy Shiitake, Pacific Rim, Mighty Meaty, Veg Out, Buffalo Chicken, Funky Q Chicken, Kosmic Karma, House Special, Maui Wowie, Pepperoni, Cheese, and build-your-own options. The old menu had several names that are no longer part of the national lineup, so a current price guide should follow the present menu categories rather than keep retired pies alive in a giant historical table.

Build-your-own pricing starts with cheese and rises with each topping. At Fort Myers, a large cheese pie is $19.49, one topping raises it to $23.48, two toppings to $27.47, and three toppings to $31.46. That location charges $3.99 for each additional large topping. A custom large pizza can reach specialty-pie territory quickly.

This also explains why the lowest advertised pizza price is not always the best guide to checkout cost. A shopper who starts with cheese and adds meat, vegetables, premium cheese, or vegan cheese can move several dollars above the base price. Half-and-half pies can be useful when two diners want different recipes, but local pricing rules still apply.

For comparison, current Pizza Hut prices and Domino’s pizza prices lean heavily on nationwide deals and coupons. Mellow Mushroom is more useful to price as a premium fast-casual pizza restaurant where local menu pricing matters more than one national discount.

Munchies, Wings, Burgers

Pizza is only part of the bill. Pretzel Bites are one of the easiest current appetizers to compare. Pigeon Forge lists them at $10, a Virginia Beach menu shows $11.99, and Ocala lists $12.49. A table that still shows Pretzel Bites near $7.99 is several years behind many present locations.

Wing prices also vary. Ten wings are $12 in one Tennessee menu, $14.99 in Ocala, and $15.99 in Virginia Beach. Current flavors include Hot Buffalo, Mild Buffalo, BBQ, Cloud9 Garlic Parmesan, Honey Sriracha, Caribbean Jerk, Sweet Thai Chili, and Naked. Boneless wings are also part of the national lineup.

Calzones now cluster around the mid-teens before extras in several current menus. A Rocky River menu shows a build-your-own calzone at $14.35, while other current delivery examples run about $15 to $15.75. One Blacksburg delivery menu lists the All-American Smashburger at $17.45. These prices make Mellow Mushroom closer to a sit-down fast-casual meal than to a bargain carryout pizza chain.

A customer comparing pizza chains can also check Jet’s Pizza menu prices. The useful comparison is the whole order, not one menu line. Appetizers, wings, sauces, drinks, and delivery charges can add more to the final total than the difference between two pizza base prices.

Gluten-Free, Vegan, and Kids Prices

Mellow Mushroom still puts more effort into dietary options than many pizza chains. Its certified gluten-free program uses a 10-inch crust and designated preparation procedures for qualifying pizzas. The gluten-free crust is small only. Current sampled prices put specialty gluten-free pies around $18.49 to $19.99, depending on recipe and restaurant, before delivery fees.

The national menu also includes vegan pizza and salads. Vegan cheese is available, and plant-based builds can carry a higher price than plain cheese once dairy-free cheese and multiple vegetables are added. At one current Fort Myers menu, a vegan large Veg Out is $30.99, while a vegan large cheese pizza is $19.49. That $11.50 gap shows how quickly toppings change a plant-based order.

Kids meals have changed too. Current examples are about $7.80 to $9.60 and can include French Bread Pizza, four naked boneless wings, or mac and cheese with a kids drink and side. An Athens delivery menu lists kids meals from $7.80. Families should still check the selected restaurant because age limits, side choices, and prices can differ.

Pickup vs Delivery Costs

Ordering channel can change the bill before the food changes at all. Mellow Mushroom’s website asks customers to select a restaurant before ordering because the local store controls its available menu and price. Third-party apps can show higher item prices, then add delivery charges, service fees, tax, and tip. Some apps also run temporary promotions that make one item look cheaper even while the rest of the cart is marked up.

A current Asheville DoorDash page lists cheese pizza from $20, Holy Shiitake from $26.20, and Pretzel Bites at $16.90. Those figures are much higher than several restaurant-menu examples. The difference should not be described as a chain-wide price increase because the ordering channel is different. Check the restaurant’s own ordering page against the app before paying.

Delivery can also hide the real comparison behind a low delivery-fee banner. One current Grubhub listing shows a delivery fee plus a 15% service fee capped at $7.50. Tip and tax come after that. A $40 food order can cross $50 without adding another entrée. Pickup avoids the delivery fee and driver tip, although local menu prices and platform service charges can still vary.

Store hours are local too. The Mesa location page shows service as late as 1 a.m. on some nights, while many other restaurants close at 9, 10, or 11 p.m. The old idea of one chain-wide closing time does not hold.

Meal Budgets and Best Value

A couple sharing one medium specialty pizza around $21 to $27 and Pretzel Bites around $10 to $12.49 can expect a food subtotal near $31 to $39.49. Add two soft drinks and tax and the total can move into the mid-$40s before tip. Choosing cheese instead of a specialty pie can cut several dollars without reducing pizza size.

A family-style order with one large specialty pizza around $25 to $33, Pretzel Bites around $10 to $12.49, and 10 wings around $12 to $15.99 creates a food subtotal near $47 to $61.49. At a gross wage of $30 per hour, a $55 food subtotal represents about 1 hour and 50 minutes of work before taxes.

The pizza-size math creates another savings lever. At the Pigeon Forge cheese prices, moving from a $10.25 small to a $16 large costs only $5.75 more while adding about 122.5 square inches of pizza. That works out to less than 5 cents for each added square inch. Buying a larger pie can be cheaper than adding a second small when several people are sharing.

Makes sense if

• You want specialty toppings, vegan choices, or a certified gluten-free option.
• You are sharing a medium or large pizza rather than buying several small pies.
• You compare pickup pricing with delivery-app pricing before checkout.
• You use local happy-hour or restaurant specials when they match the order.

Does not make sense if

• Your only goal is the lowest possible carryout pizza price.
• You build a heavily topped custom pizza without comparing a specialty recipe.
• You use delivery for a small order where fees become a large share of the bill.
• You assume every Mellow Mushroom restaurant charges the same amount.

Brand History

Mellow Mushroom opened in Atlanta in 1974 after three college friends created the first restaurant near Georgia Tech. The company’s brand history now describes more than 160 locations across 17 states. Each restaurant keeps the chain’s pizza identity while using local artwork, design, beer selections, events, and in some cases location-only menu items.

That local model helps explain why pricing is less uniform than at a chain built around national coupon offers. One restaurant may carry 12 draft beers while another carries 60. Trivia, happy hour, music, and local specials also change by restaurant. An Asheville location page advertises 60 draft beers, while other stores operate with much smaller selections.

The core food identity is still stone-baked pizza with the brand’s signature dough, red sauce, mozzarella, and garlic-buttered crust. The menu has widened around it with wings, Rollz, salads, burgers, hoagies, calzones, kids meals, plant-based choices, and gluten-free pizza. That wider restaurant format is one reason a Mellow Mushroom meal often prices above discount carryout pizza.

Verification

• Checked the official food standards for the chain’s pizza and plant-based positioning.
• Cross-checked current delivery pricing against restaurant-menu examples from Florida.
• Compared another delivery menu to confirm that restaurant and ordering channel can change the displayed price.
