[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We visited Wake not too long ago. We went to dinner downtown (Mellow Mushroom). It was fine. I wouldn't call it "thriving" but I wouldn't call it "burnt out" either. I felt safe walking around. There seemed to be some businesses, hotels and restaurants there.

If you are expecting Boston, NY, DC, Ann Arbor, Chapel Hill, etc. you will be disappointed. But it is far more than a dinky town in the middle of nowhere.

It reminded me a bit of Durham in the 90s, in isolation of RTP, proximity to Chapel Hill, etc. Durham has grown since then.

There is also a decent sized airport not far away in Greensboro. Some concerts come through the area. Not a horrible trip to Charlotte or RTP as necessary.[/quote]

Every Mellow Mushroom is an insult to pizza.

Winston is at a crossroads.  The local economy has drastically shifted.  What’s next is TBD.  Whether Wake can find a way to stay competitive remains to be seen. [/quote]

I'm the person you are responding to and I've spent 90% of my life in NJ/NYC. So I am a total pizza snob. I have been to other Mellow Mushrooms before. I don't even try to compare what I eat there to NY pizza. It is something totally different. And it is pretty good for what it is. But if you are craving pizza, I agree that isn't what it is.

We tried going somewhere else (I forget where) and for some reason it didn't work out and I was with a very hungry teenage boy so Mellow Mushroom was an easy option since I knew what it was. Plus I figured it was an excuse to go downtown. It served its purpose. They sat us quickly. Food was fine. Pleasant, clean atmosphere. Not too expensive. Happy child.

The Grounds seems like it will be nice. I don't not think it will be the miracle some think it will be. But it will be a nice addition to the area.[/quote]
