Mellow Mushroom

Mellow Mushroom on this Stay Safe Jax page is the Avondale pizza restaurant at 3611 St. Johns Avenue, Jacksonville, FL 32205. Google Places lists the phone as (904) 388-0200 and the match title Mellow Mushroom Jacksonville - Avondale. This is the Shoppes of Avondale room at St. Johns and Ingleside. It is not a Beach Boulevard Mellow Mushroom, not a Town Center shop, and not a San Marco restaurant. The Florida Times-Union reported on February 6, 2014 that the Avondale Mellow Mushroom would open that Monday after owners demolished a former gas station and spent months fighting parking appeals from We Love Avondale, Riverside Avondale Preservation, and nearby property owners. The paper said the restaurant would have 198 seats and that Riverside-Avondale parking rules required 28 spaces, with seven vested from earlier uses. News4Jax reported on March 4, 2014 that the shop had opened after about 24 months of controversy, that it was Jacksonville’s fifth Mellow Mushroom, and that the room included a retired fire truck inside. Those 2014 stories are opening history. They are not a current warning that the pizza shop is illegal or unsafe. Visit Jacksonville lists Mellow Mushroom - Avondale at 3611 Saint Johns Avenue for stone-baked pizza, salads, sandwiches, and a large draft list, with gluten-free and vegan pies called out on that visitor page.

Google Places currently lists Mellow Mushroom Jacksonville - Avondale at 4.5 from 2,648 reviews for 3611 St. Johns Avenue, the same place ID stored here. Stay Safe Jax has no stored Yelp rating, so the headline is 4.5. A 4.5 from thousands of reviews is a large, ordinary pizza-shop file. Public review sites also show mixed notes about waits, noise, and parking on a busy Avondale block. That mix is normal for a packed neighborhood restaurant. It is not a lawsuit. Google Places lists wheelchair-accessible parking, entrance, restroom, and seating. Stay Safe Jax did not independently inspect the dining room or the fire-truck table. Stay Safe Jax leaves warning flags at 0. Avondale’s Mellow Mushroom is an open St. Johns Avenue pizza restaurant with a strong Google snapshot, a Visit Jacksonville listing, and a well-documented 2014 opening fight that the shop won.
