Today's blog post is a long strange trip indeed. First off,you readers need to watch Neil Young to get in my head for this post.
That was kinda of trippy,no?
All right. The gist of this Quad City Pizza Blog is a trip I just returned from. And no. It wasn't drugs or anything bad. It was a rather uplifting trip of family,friends,new friends and people I'd like to spend more time with.
This trip was to attend my beautiful niece's wedding. It was way down yonder in Tennessee. I won't bore you faithful readers of that part,but we did eat pizza. Let's go!
So the groom and bride wanted to take the wedding party out for pizza. We went to this place.

I'm not sure what saffron has to do with anything,I digress.
So The Mellow Mushroom is a chain.
On with the show. I swear I tried to take good pictures. My camera might have been hanging with the White Rabbit. This particular Mellow Mushroom is in Pigeon Forge Tennessee. And wow,what a place that is.
Mushrooms are the theme.
My sister Mindy was impressed. My brother in law Matt? Not so much!
Being that this pizza joint is in a way popular tourist area and super busy. The bathroom was slammed.
The menu.
Onto the zza. I have to be honest right up front. I had no say in the ordering of apps and the pizza. Kenz and Jon ordered for us.
Our table got some garlic bread.
I'll get to the review in a bit. This wall art was pretty damn funky. If only the 80's could come back!
So how was the pizza? Sher and I give it a 7. The cheese and toppings were great. The crust could have been great with maybe 5 more minutes in the oven.
I understand that where we were might have been the reason the pizza was rushed. This place was super busy.
The Mellow Mushroom vibe was off the hook fun. The pizza was just okay,but that didn't take away from the fun we had.
Jon and Kenzie?
Thank you for the fun. Welcome to our crazy misfit tribe.
Scott & Sher.
BTW. I have been told there is a Mellow Mushroom in the greater Iowa City of this blog's stomping grounds.
