in Food and Nutrition
I have never eaten there but have heard great things about them (non MFP people LOL). I think we are going there for a birthday lunch this week and I am looking for recommendations. It doesn't have to be the lowest calorie item on the menu...something that is a combo of tasty and a healthier choice. I am leaning toward the avacado hoagie...I saw it in the data base, but when I emailed Mellow Mushroom they gave me some roundabout answer about how they are working on getting the nutritional content available.

    Yea, totally love that place. They don't offer their nutrition on line either which is probably not a good sign. Try to go with something grilled or veggies. Drink lots of water before and after you go. Eat :) we gotta let loose every now & then....ENJOY!

    I've had the same problem with them. Great restaurant, but they are slacking on accurate nutritional information. Makes sense considering the psychedelic hippy theme. lol

    I've done cheeseless pizza there before and been really happy with it. I just get lots of toppings like barbecued tofu, mushrooms, and spinach. It's really the sauce and dough that makes their pizza.

    They also have a hummus trio that is to die for!

    All the hoagies are delish (especially the portobello), but just watch out for the cheese. They really pile it on!

    Now, I really want to go to there. lol Yum. :-)

    Went there once in Myrtle Beach, they have awesome pizza! Sounds like you'd have to consider a trip there a splurge and maybe make up for it later. Or exercise extra that day to help make up for it :)

    Have fun!

    Mmm mmm, now I'm hungry and excited to try it out! Watch the birthday girl will change her mind now LOL.

    I think I may splurge and have whatever looks good (reasonably so LOL). Light breakfast and dinner Thursday ;).

    They have great salads, in which a small/side is actually enough for two meals/leftovers. Their Greek salad is my favorite. I also love their hummus and pita. You can customize your own personal pizza (a small pizza is enough for two meals too) with fruits, veggies, and numerous other toppings.

    I am a regular at Mellow Mushroom, I love the pizza and their sandwiches. They have good beer also.

    Kosmic Karma is delicious and appears healthier than all the rest. I am not going to lie, I don't know that for sure. But, great pizza. =] Good luck with your goals!

    I love the vegan pizza there. According to livestrong.com most of their pizzas aren't that bad.
