Mellow Mushroom Pizza Bakers

Tampa's Mellow Mushroom offers three area locations if you can't make it to this Brandon location. As the originators of the "classic southern pizza," don't be put off by the hippie vibe at this pizza joint. The pies are serious, even if the decor isn't. With such favorites as the Kosmic Karma (tomatoes, spinach, and feta) and the Philosopher's Pie (steak, mushrooms, and artichoke hearts), there's something for everyone, even if it's a creation you haven't heard of yet. They also pride themselves on serving interesting microbrews from around the country. It's almost guaranteed that if you visit the Mushroom, you will experience something new and different that you can't have anywhere else.
