After 40 years, Mellow Mushroom, which specializes in its pizza offerings, is adding beef and veggie burgers to its menu. These were previewed at select locations in Alabama, Georgia, Florida, South Carolina, and Texas this summer, but as of October 1, they will be available at Mellow Mushroom locations nationwide.

The beef burger (Carnie) is made of 100 percent choice, all-natural, certified Black Angus Beef. The beef is humanely raised and minimally processed, using no additives or ammoniated procedures. It will be available with Swiss cheese, caramelized onions, romaine lettuce, tomato, pickles, and garlic aioli spread. 

The veggie burger (Herb) consists of kale, quinoa, roasted mushrooms, and brown rice among other seasonings and vegetables. The veggie patty will be prepared with Cheddar cheese, romaine lettuce, tomato, sweet onions, and fresh avocado.

After opening locations in disparate major cities like Washington D.C., Miami, Denver, Houston, Cincinnati, Orlando, and Dallas, the franchise is looking ahead to its first locations in states like Massachusetts, Missouri, and greater New York/New Jersey.
