Mellow Mushroom Cary

Mellow Mushroom is on NW Cary Parkway, sharing a parking lot with La Farm Bakery. The pizza is what draws people, built on the chain’s own dough, what it calls premium ingredients, and unique flavors.

The dining room gets lively, and regulars come from Apex, Morrisville, and Raleigh as well as Cary. Many of the pizzas can be made gluten-free or vegan, so a mixed group can usually be accommodated. The company sums up its own aim with the line Delivering A Higher Order of Pizza.

What to know

• Munchies, greens, calzones, and burgers fill out the menu beside the pizza.
• Catering is available for events held away from the dining room.
• Food can be ordered online instead of calling the restaurant.
• This is one restaurant in the wider Mellow Mushroom chain.
