    Mellow Mushroom Makes it Easy Going for Special Diets

    6
    By Alisa Fleming on February 17, 2022 Dining Out, Suggested Restaurants, U.S. Restaurants

    Updated February 2022! I can’t even count the number of people who have messaged me about Mellow Mushroom. This popular pizza parlor has locations across the the United States, and is known for catering to special diets. In fact, this year, they launched a “lifestyle” section to their online ordering platform that includes menus for gluten-free, vegan, and keto. But we’re going to go beyond that in this updated post, and give you more helpful details for your dairy-free order. As a bonus, I’ve also included vegan and gluten-free notes!

    Mellow Mushroom Dairy-Free Menu Guide with Vegan & Gluten-Free Options

    Mellow Mushroom Dairy-Free Menu Guide with Vegan & Gluten-Free Options

    This menu guide includes dairy-free menu options first, followed by custom order components. Be aware of special order requirements in parentheses () next to the menu items, and see the Heads Up notes to help fill in the blanks.

    Other Allergen & Dietary Notes: All of the items listed below are made without peanuts or tree nuts. All items are also made without egg, gluten, and soy, unless otherwise noted. For vegan options, see the Vegan Menu Guide at the bottom of this post.

    Allergen Protocols: When their staff is notified, all gluten-free pies are made following the strictest gluten-free guidelines. This includes preparing gluten-free pies in a designated sanitary prep area, and using baking tools designated for gluten free pies only. For dairy and other allergens, speak with the location to make sure they can safely accommodate your needs. We’ve heard from some readers who’ve had very good experiences with Mellow Mushroom and their safety with allergen requests.

    Munchies

    • Vegan Hummus with Pita or Veggies (NOT the Hypnotic Hummus) (pita contains gluten)
    • Munchie Pups (limited availability)
    • Naked Wings
    • Teriyaki Wings (contains gluten, soy)

    Heads Up! Their Toast Points contain dairy, which affects several of their appetizers. All other Wing flavors (including hot, mild, and others) do contain dairy. The Hypnotic Hummus contains dairy. We’ve also been told that the Pretzel Bites, even without the dip, contain milk, but some locations might have a vegan option. Inquire at your local shop.

    Greens / Salads

    • Vegan Enlightened Spinach Salad
    • Vegan Greek Salad
    • Mellow Chick Salad (contains egg, soy)
    • House Salad (no cheese)
    • The Elevated Cobb (no cheese)
    • Build-Your-Own Salad (see components below)

    Dairy-Free Salad Dressings: Balsamic Vinaigrette Salad Dressing (contains soy), Esperanza Salad Dressing (contains egg, soy)

    Heads Up! The Croutons at Mellow Mushroom do contain milk.

    Pizzas

    • Vegan Veg Out Pizza (can order gluten-free crust)
    • Build Your Own Pie or Calzone (see components below)

    Heads Up! Mellow Mushroom finishes their pizzas and calzones with parmesan and garlic butter. These items are left off on their vegan menu, but you’ll need to request “no parmesan and no garlic butter” if custom ordering a dairy-free pizza. According to the company, you can substitute vegan cheese (Follow Your Heart) on any pie at no additional cost.

    Burgers & Sandwiches

    • Vegan Tempeh Hoagie (contains egg, gluten, soy)
    • California Club (no aioli) (contains gluten)
    • Avocado Hoagie (sub vegan cheese) (contains egg, gluten, soy)
    • Italian Hoagie (sub vegan cheese) (contains egg, gluten, soy)
    • Steak or Chicken & Cheese Hoagie (sub vegan cheese) (contains egg, gluten, soy)

    Heads Up! The Burgers at Mellow Mushroom are served on a buttered brioche bun, which contains milk. If you’re really craving a burger, you can order it on one of the unbuttered dairy-free bread options below. Most of the Hoagies above can be made egg-free and soy-free by ordering no mayonnaise.

    Sides

    • Roasted Red Potatoes

    Pizza Crust, Bread, and Salad Bases

    • Regular Pizza Crust (contains gluten)
    • Thin Pizza Crust (contains gluten)
    • Gluten-Free Crust
    • French Bead (contains gluten)
    • Multi Grain Bread / Ciabatta (contains gluten)
    • Romaine
    • Salad Mix
    • Spinach
    • Spring Mix

    Heads Up! The Brioche Bun for the burgers does contain milk.

    Sauces

    • Barbeque Sauce
    • Black Truffle Oil
    • Jerk Sauce
    • Mayonnaise (contains egg, soy)
    • Olive Oil
    • Red Sauce
    • Sweet Chili Glaze

    Heads Up! Obviously, the cheesy and buttery sauces contain dairy, but so do the Buffalo Hot Sauce, Garlic Aioli, Pesto, and Ranch.

    Cheese

    • Vegan Cheese – Follow Your Heart

    Protein Toppings

    • Anchovies
    • Applewood Smoked Bacon
    • Chicken (Plain, BBQ, Curry, Herb Vinaigrette, Jerk, and Teriyaki (contains gluten, soy))
    • Ground Beef
    • Ham
    • Italian Sausage
    • Pepperoni
    • Salami
    • Steak
    • Tempeh, Marinated (contain gluten, soy)
    • Tofu (Plain, BBQ, Jerk) (contains soy)

    Heads Up! The Buffalo Chicken, Pesto Chicken, Meatballs, and Turkey at Mellow Mushroom do contain dairy.

    Produce Toppings

    • Artichoke Hearts
    • Avocado
    • Banana Peppers
    • Black Olives
    • Caramelized Onions
    • Chives
    • Cucumbers
    • Dried Cherries
    • Fresh Basil
    • Garlic
    • Green Olives
    • Green Peppers
    • Iceberg Lettuce
    • Jalapeno Peeppers
    • Kalamata Olives

    • Onions
    • Pepperoncini
    • Pineapple
    • Roasted Red Peppers
    • Roasted Red Potato
    • Roasted Tomatoes
    • Roma Tomatoes
    • Spinach

    Heads Up! The Grilled Portobello and Mushroom Trio at Mellow Mushroom do contain milk. The Raw Sliced Mushrooms are dairy-free.

    Other Toppings

    • Bruschetta Tomato Topping
    • House-Made Glazed Pecans
    • Italian Seasoning

    Desserts

    Heads Up! You can gorge on pitted cherries, but that’s about it for dairy-free sweets at Mellow Mushroom. Grab a pint of dairy-free ice cream at the nearby grocery store instead!

        Hi Clarena, we’re not affiliated with any of the restaurants listed. You will need to reach out to them directly.

      Hi Alisha, I just wanted to point out one clarification. Smart Flour Foods provides Mellow Mushroom with the Ancient Grain, gluten free and vegan crust. We are the only/standard gluten free crust offered by Mellow, and therefore the gluten free crust at Mellow Mushroom (at all locations) is vegan. There is no “standard” gluten free crust that contains eggs, that may refer to the gluten free crust they had prior to ours. Mellow adopted the Smart Flour Foods crust in late 2013.

      Don’t hesitate to reach out with any questions!

        Thanks for the clarification! We have had Mellow Mushroom in our listings for a little while, so this was just an update – hence the confusion.
