7. he is being loved to death

[jmowreader]

19. That's what worries me

[Dont call me Shirley]

45. He is being loved to life, rejuvenated by all their youthful energy and uplifted by their good vibes.

[Dustlawyer]

9. Love the Mellow Mushroom!!!

Ate at one in Mississippi outside of Biloxi and it is sooo good!

[Lorien]

18. Me too. We have one here in Winter Park,

just up the road from Orlando. I hope he visits it too someday!

[cstanleytech]

10. They are better than pizza hut, papa johns or dominos imo but stick with the medium size

as the one in my area has trouble with baking their large ones correctly.

[Barky Bark]

31. Or try their calzone

They are perfect every time I order it.

[eppur_se_muova]

24. Excellent pizza and pretzels; every franchise has its own decor and atmosphere.

Many feature live music, craft beers, etc. but it varies from one to the next. Gives the place more character. Definitely not you usual cookie-cutter fast food franchise.

[Enthusiast]

36. Sure sounds nice. Especially the beer part.

[eppur_se_muova]

42. Their locations are scattered rather widely ...

[Enthusiast]

43. Thank you.

[appalachiablue]

46. Sounds great, lively too. Will look for one in my area soon, yum!

[japple]

44. I like that part, too! I used to go to the MM on Fridays

with a group of friends from work. We had a great time and they always served in pint glasses (as opposed to a 10 oz. plastic cup). Love their white pies and their mega-veggie pizzas.

[Enthusiast]

47. I'm sort of a beer expert. I have made a lot of delicious beer. Researched beer...a whole bunch.

Unfortunately, I caught (?) the gluten thing. Now there is but one decent beer that I can have—Omission. Omission has a secret process that removes the gluten. It is wonderful. I went for several years with no beer! It was awful. Fortunately I still had music, books and whiskey, lol.

Oh, I can't have pizza now either. But I like to think about what pizza would be like at a place like MM. We make the occasional gluten-free pizza at home but it falls far short.

Always nice to see you, japple.

[japple]

50. I am studying to be a beer expert! Back in June, when I was in NC visiting my

former home state, I went with a friend to Sierra Nevada's new facility in Mills River, NC, hoping for a tour, but since they were all booked up, we did a self-guided tour of their fabulous facility and it was a visual treat. Will be going back for the full tour and tasting (my favorite part!) While my sister and I were in Montana in August, we tried to visit at least one brewery every couple of days and sampled a few awesome local brews at Flathead Lake Brewery, Kallispell Brewing and in Helena, MT. Our favorite was an IPA from Draught Works in Missoula, MT--yum, yum.

So sorry to hear of your gluten-y problems, but at least you now have an alternative. I will share this info (and keep on hand) for friends who are having those same issues.

[Enthusiast]

55. Ah, Sierra Nevada! I remember their product well from back in the day.

Omission created an IPA to go with the Pale Ale and Lager. I have three left that I hope to save for Saturday evening. One can certainly develop a fondness for IPAs.

[peacebird]

37. Great pizza, at least it is at MM in Cville!

[customerserviceguy]

52. The ones I've been to in South Carolina

have some great craft brews on tap. Worth going, even if you don't get to meet Bernie!

[Enthusiast]

54. The craft brewing movement has been a boon to small communities. I believe we can correctly give

President Jimmy Carter credit for relaxing the federal statute against home brewing beer. Home brewing evolved directly into this amazing craft brewing diversity we see in the nation today.

[freedom fighter jh]

2. pizza chain nt

[leftcoastmountains]

4. Looks like an east coast chain mostly. One opening in Utah.

[840high]

14. We got them in the South. Good pizza.

[Eric J in MN]

3. Are you in the photo? NT

NT

[leftcoastmountains]

5. No got this off the reddit grassroots/Sanders group

[retrowire]

6. damn it!

and I stopped at an excellent Chinese restaurant after the show.

that's awesome though!

[merrily]

8. With an exception or two, everyone looks very happy about Bernie's being there, including Bernie.

Mmm......Pizza

[kracer20]

23. Not the girl in the window, she has a sad :(

[KoKo]

11. Love It!

[SusanaMontana41]

12. Greensboro. Birthplace of the sit-ins.

Thanks for posting the pic!

WOOO HOOO!

[zeemike]

13. Did they report on what he had on his Pie?

That is important you know...if he had anchovies lots of people would not vote for him.
Not me though because I love those little salty fish.

[Elmer S. E. Dump]

20. Wouldn't you want to avoid anchovies while politicking? Seems it could cause halitosis.

[mountain grammy]

15. Happy, smiling, enthusiastic young people..

Making this old grammy a happy woman!

[KamaAina]

16. What did he get on his pizza?

The fate of his campaign depends on this. If he got pepperoni, he just lost the vegetarian vote.

[longship]

17. Can one imagine vegan pizza?

Frankly, I don't think it exists.

I think I'll open up a breathairian pizzeria chain. I'll be rich in no time.

[TalkingDog]

21. Pesto pizza with fake cheese is delicious. And vegan. Try it.

I can't eat cheese, so vegan pizzas are standard procedure.

[longship]

22. I don't want to ask what fake cheese is.

And I have severe lactose intolerance. But even I eat pizza once in a while. With real cheese and tons of toppings. I call it garbage can pizza; pour whatever's in the garbage on top. And yup, a couple of days later I have a bad day. The pizza is worth it. Yummy to the tummy!

I am not a vegetarian, let alone a vegan, so I will pass on vegan pizza. There is no there there, as far as I can tell.

My best to you.

[IronLionZion]

26. soy cheese exists

what's really strange is gluten free crust

there are meds to help digest lactose

[longship]

28. Soy milk sucks.

I tried making Cream of Wheat with soy milk. It tasted like fucking grass. Horrible stuff.

The only stomach-able soy product is chocolate ice cream, which just tastes like Fudgsicles, not remotely like ice cream.

No wonder they flavor it with sweet stuff. That is the only way one can stand the shit.

[senz]

34. Try hot cereal with unsweetened vanilla almond milk.

It's pretty good. My favorite is Trader Joe's.

[Cleita]

39. That's what I use. It's so tasty.

Also, rice milk is a good substitute for soy milk, which I don't care for either.

[KamaAina]

27. I was thinking ovolacto

a regular pizza with veggie toppings, but yeah, vegan pizza* exists.

[lunatica]

40. Mushroom and swizz cheese pizza is fantastic

And it isn't just a few slices of mushroom scattered around the pie. It's a veritable mountain of mushrooms that shrink down like mushrooms do and are both chewy and crispy, on a bed of gooey swizz cheese.

[longship]

41. I like shrooms.

I still like pepperoni and/or Italian sausage, plus anchovies are pretty much mandatory.

But mushrooms and Swiss sounds tasty.

[DemocraticWing]

53. I've actually had vegan pizza at a Mellow Mushroom

Went to one with a friend who was a vegan, and tried a slice and thought it wasn't that bad.

Also at least where I am, lots of liberals hang out at MM. It might be because of the hippie vibe.

[libodem]

25. Woo Hoo!!!

Hubba hubba

[Barky Bark]

29. I think I shall treat myself to a delicious calzone at Mellow Mushroom on Wednesday

Just to thank them for supporting Bernie!

[Linnkitsune]

30. Great shift to work

Lucky pizzeria!

[SHRED]

32. If that age group votes...

...Bernie wins.

[avaistheone1]

33. Thanks for sharing.

[senz]

35. Everybody loves Bernie.

Anybody who doesn't love Bernie is a dork.

[Duval]

38. Cool! Will have to take my

twins granddaughters out to lunch at Mellow Mushroom!

[cantbeserious]

49. Cool

eom

[emsimon33]

56. I ate there

Great pizza! Interesting location.

[bonniebgood]

57. If you are from the Northeast and now live in the South MM has the

closest you can come to the Northeast pizza taste.
