Mellow Mushroom is seeking to satisfy meat lovers with two new steak-themed dishes: the premium Steakhouse Pizza and the gourmet Steakhouse Calzone.
Centered around the classic pairing of steak and mushrooms, both of the new dishes aim to give guests a limited-time-only steakhouse experience. The first of the new dishes is the Steakhouse Pizza, which starts with an olive oil and garlic base, topped with all-natural grilled ribeye steak, roasted shiitake, button mushrooms, portobello mushrooms, creamy mozzarella cheese, caramelized onions, spicy pickled peppers, and a garnish of chives and a garlic aioli drizzle. On the other hand, the new Steakhouse Calzone features a similar combo of grilled ribeye steak, roasted shiitake, button, and portobello mushrooms, caramelized onions, spicy pickled peppers, provolone cheese, seasoned ricotta, all wrapped up in a pizza crust, baked, and served with a side of garlic aioli..
