Where: Mellow Mushroom, Wake Forest, NC (This is a successful franchise. Multiple locations also apply.)
GF Menu: Yes! Check out the 04.07.2010 post on Gluten Free Raleigh for specific details. Some Mellow Mushrooms carry a GF beer option, and a GF vodka may be coming soon.
Mellow Mushroom restaurants in the Triangle area are the test market for GF Pizzas. Be sure to express your appreciation to management so that they will continue to offer them.
What I ate: Classic Pepperoni and Mushroom Pizza
How to order it: Let the server know you are interested in the Gluten Free pizzas. One of the owners of the Wake Forest Mellow Mushroom, Kyle Watson, said Gluten-Free versions of the House Special, the Mighty Meaty, or the Hawaiian Pizzas in Medium (12-inch crust, cut into 8 slices) are available now. If these aren’t enough to tempt you, build your own from an impressive list of GF toppings.
What it looks like:
I enjoyed a classic Pepperoni and Mushroom Pizza, with added red pepper flakes. The crust was light, slightly crisped on the underside, and bendable. I could fold the slice in half just like I used to with flour-crust pizza. This GF crust, which is distributed by Still Riding Pizza, is made from a combination of bean, rice, and tapioca flours, and starch.
Green Note: On the paper napkins, next to a cartoon drawing of a mushroom bearing an earth logo, are these words: “This napkin is made with
- Recycled Paper
- Bleach-Free Process
- Post-Consumer Grade Material
- Printed with Soy Ink”
Each Mellow Mushroom is locally-owned and operated.
