As Mill Ave continues to struggle with empty storefronts and unfinished condo apartment towers, we just heard about a bit of good news for East Valley food hounds.  Mellow Mushroom has finally sprouted up inside the former Z Gallerie space at Centerpoint on Mill (and no, it’s not what you think).

Started by a trio of Georgia Tech college students, the original Mellow Mushroom has been satisfying college students’ pizza and beer requirements for the past 26 years. Now featuring 100 restaurants across 15 states, Mellow Mushroom is actually already here in AZ. (Road trip to far NW Phoenix, anyone?) So what’s on the menu?

This pizza palace is ASU student friendly beer connoisseur friendly as it features 48 different thirst-quenching beers on tap and more than 100 combined bottle and draft varieties behind the bar. Try them ALL and receive a free T-shirt, engraved mug and your name immortalized an a wall plaque. Disclaimer: Mellow Mushroom’s attorneys would like you to know this does not have to be completed in one sitting.

As for the bill of fare, look for an extensive collection of pizzas, calzones, salads, deli hoagies and ‘munchies,’ as well as nine different lunch specials for $5.99.

Even better, Mellow Mushroom will stay open later than any other food or liquor venue on Mill; ’til 2 am Sunday through Wednesday, and 4 am on weekends for late night noshing.
