Mellow Mushroom is coming

The popular Mellow Mushroom pizza chain is set to open its first Pensacola store in August near Ninth Avenue and Bayou Boulevard, in front of Rave Motion Pictures. You probably are familiar with the chain from stores in Destin, Panama City Beach, Mobile and Foley, Ala., among locations in 15 states.

The announcement is generating a lot of excitement on Facebook, where owners already have more than 400 fans after posting a profile page less than a month ago. And looking over the menu, which features nearly 50 pizza toppings to choose from plus a wide variety of salads, sandwiches, calzones and specialty pies, it's not hard to understand why.
