Mellow Mushroom
American · Italian · Savannah, GA
About
You might expect a pizza chain to feel generic, but this Mellow Mushroom on River Street carries its own local flavor. It's a laid-back spot popular with Savannah College of Art and Design students (SCAD folks, as one regular put it) and locals who come for the stone-baked pies and spring water crust. The art-filled interior and outdoor seating give it a casual, creative vibe. The beer selection is solid, and you'll find plenty of munchies beyond pizza.
Service is quick but can sometimes feel a bit cold at first, and tables aren't always spotless. Still, the food wins out. If you want a quieter experience, order to-go and take your meal to a nearby square. For a different scene, try Driftaway Cafe for a more tranquil meal. Best nights are Thursday through Saturday.

“Noisy but tasty food”
This big college spot is very loud, but the service is fast and pleasant, and my Philly cheesesteak was decent. If you want something quieter, just take your order to go and enjoy it at a nearby park.

“Good food”
There's good food here, and a lot of college students and locals eat here. The prices are a bit higher than in other places, and the tables aren't always spotless, which is why I gave it three stars. Sometimes the staff seems a bit unwelcoming, but again, the food is good, so it's okay.
