Mellow Mushroom – the stone-baked pizza brand with 165 locations nationwide – is spicing up spring and summer with Taco Nirvana – a limited-time-only, taco-inspired menu set to debut across all locations from Tuesday, April 29 through the summer.
Complementing Mellow Mushroom’s mouthwatering lineup of hand-tossed pizzas and creative munchies, the new limited-time offerings will unveil a new flavor dimension and mash-up of two beloved foods: tacos + pizza. What started with their culinary team experimenting with ingredients in the Atlanta test kitchen evolved into a company-wide LTO driven by a love for bold tastes and epic culinary remixes. As a result, guests will soon be able to dine-in or order to-go from a menu of taco-style pizza with zesty enchilada sauce and spicy ranch, a loaded queso dip with melty mozzarella and fresh cilantro, and Mellow’s version of a spicy mango margarita with a jalapeño kick.
The Taco Nirvana menu will feature:
- Taco Nirvana Pizza – Starting with a zesty enchilada sauce base, the pizza is topped with a choice of chicken or beef (or half & half!), melty mozzarella, green peppers, onions & tomatoes. Finished with fresh cilantro & a spicy ranch swirl.
- Loaded Queso – A bold & creamy dip loaded with chicken, enchilada sauce, melty mozzarella, diced green peppers & tomatoes. Finished with fresh cilantro & shredded sharp cheddar cheese. Served with crispy toast points.
- Spiked Mango Margarita – Made nice with tropical sweetness & fiery spice, the flavor paradise features Milagro Silver Tequila, mango, jalapeño, triple sec & house-made sour.
- Mellow Mushroom is also bringing back its fan-favorite housemade spicy ranch – a swirl to ignite the Taco Nirvana pizza or an add-on dipping sauce for other Mellow mainstays.
- Plus, Mellow Mushroom will feature Modelo as the ideal beer pairing for Taco Nirvana items.
For maximum flexibility in ordering, guests can opt for the best of both worlds with a half-and-half – half your favorite Mellow classic, and half Taco Nirvana. As always, guests also have the option to order any pizza using the 10” Gluten-Free Crust or substitute Follow Your Heart Dairy-Free Cheese for any cheese listed on the menu.
“Who doesn’t love tacos and pizza? We’re excited to bring our bold new twist on two favorite foods,” said Elizabeth Brasch, Executive Vice President of Marketing at Mellow Mushroom. “These vibrant additions are a reflection of our team’s dedication to push the boundaries of pizza.”
