If you’d prefer a signature dish, Mellow Mushroom Pigeon Forge has plenty of menu favorites to choose from. Take a look at some of the most popular dishes for every course:
Pretzel Bites
Start your meal off with an appetizer the whole table will want to dig into. These pretzel bites consist of bite-size pieces of Mellow Mushroom’s signature pizza dough, topped with melted garlic butter and a sprinkle of savory parmesan cheese. That’s not all, though! You’ll definitely want to dip these babies in the Pabst Blue Ribbon beer cheese dip, which comes on the side.
Greek Salad
This green salad offers the perfect way to add extra veggies to your meal. It’s loaded with fresh lettuce, crisp cucumbers, savory kalamata olives, spicy banana peppers, rich feta cheese, and much more. Get one for the table, and spread the veggie love around.
Kosmic Karma Pizza
You’ve never had a pizza quite this zesty before. This Mellow Mushroom favorite comes with a marinara sauce base, and it’s topped with both feta and mozzarella cheese, spinach, Roma, sun-dried tomatoes, and a swirl of pesto. Order a large, which has eight slices, or keep it to yourself and get a small with four slices.
The Sausagefest Calzone
Sometimes one layer of the crust just isn’t enough. When you really want to indulge in Mellow Mushroom’s signature dough, try one of the pizza joint’s most popular calzones. The Sausagefest comes with sausage, salami, and meatballs, all nestled in a comfy bed of melted provolone, mozzarella, and ricotta cheeses. Dip it in the accompanying red sauce for a complete meal.
Giant Gourmet Cookie
Want to finish your meal with a sweet treat? Mellow Mushroom offers huge homemade cookies in three varieties. Treat yourself to the triple chocolate chunk, the oatmeal raisin, or the peanut butter cookie.
What about the perfect drink to wash down your meal? This Mellow Mushroom location boasts 24 beers on tap, 30 bottled beers, and plenty of local selections to boot. If you want to turn your Smokies visit into a tropical getaway, order one of Mellow Mushroom’s frozen daiquiris as you kick back on the patio. If you’re out with friends or your significant other, you might even want to turn your dinner into a fun night out at this restaurant.
