Mellow Mushroom Pizza Bakers creates the perfect haven for Shroomers this summer with special entrées, drinks and venues for all occasions.
“Mellow is the perfect restaurant for any and everyone,” says Samantha Jones, who owns the local locations with her husband Jason. “We have great salads and refreshing wine for the people who want to look great by the pool. We have ice cold beer, fresh cocktails and large pizzas that can be enjoyed with friends on our outdoor patios, and we have extra bar-stools for the individual who wants to come and make new friends.”
During hot weather, guests can choose light and refreshing recipes like the Capri salad made with fresh mozzarella, basil and tomatoes drizzled with balsamic vinaigrette. Mellow Mushroom has been experimenting with a “Mellowfied” Margherita pizza, a cheese pizza with a light, refreshing combination of fresh tomatoes, mozzarella and a basil chiffonode.
“This summer we have new cocktails created by our mixologists,” Jones says. “From our white sangria, jalapeño-infused tequila margaritas and the Devil’s Sour, these libations are guaranteed to cool you down on hot summer days and nights while enjoying the breeze on our patio.”
A new cocktail to the Waterside location was created by Mellow bartender Heidi Tinkelburg, called “That’s Not My Name.” The name was inspired after Heidi’s nickname “Tink,” which reminds her co-workers of the band the Ting Tings. “That’s Not My Name” is made with Hendricks gin infused with strawberries, basil, mint, sour mix, soda and a splash of orange juice. Jones says the new drink is “like sunshine in a glass.”
