Atlanta-based Mellow Mushroom is piloting eight sandwiches available for a limited time across Georgia, North Carolina and Tennessee, according to a press release.

The sandwiches were created to expand the brand's flavor profile beyond its stone-based pizzas. The sandwich menu may roll out across Mellow Mushroom's locations permanently in the future.

"Expanding our menu with more sandwiches gave us a new canvas to play with bold flavors in a handheld format," Dave Woolley, head of culinary at Mellow Mushroom, said in the press release. "We took the same creative spirit behind our pizzas with layered ingredients, unexpected combinations and craveable sauces, and reimagined them into sandwiches and wraps that feel both familiar and totally new."

The sandwich line-up includes:

Beer Cheese Philly — Steak or chicken, bell peppers, caramelized onions, garlic aioli, topped with beer cheese and peppers.
Meatball Parmesan — Meatballs smothered in vodka sauce, provolone, topped with mozzarella, pesto and grated Parmesan.
Chicken Pesto — Pesto chicken, topped with melty mozzarella, roasted tomatoes, shredded romaine, creamy pesto & grated Parmesan. Available as a sub or a wrap.
Buffalo Bang Chicken — Crispy chicken tossed in Buffalo sauce topped with applewood-smoked bacon, provolone, shredded romaine, pickled onions, Grillo's pickles & bleu cheese. Available as a sub or a wrap.
Italian Deluxe— Salami, honey ham, pepperoni, fresh mozzarella, roasted tomatoes, banana peppers, creamy pesto, topped with shredded romaine and balsamic vinaigrette drizzle. Available as a sub or a wrap.
Sweet Heat Jerk Chick — Jerk chicken, pineapple, mushrooms, banana peppers, topped with provolone and creamy pesto.
The Greek — Cucumbers, kalamata olives, banana peppers, roasted tomatoes, shredded romaine, topped with sheep's milk feta, lemon pepper seasoning and garlic aioli. Available as a sub or a wrap.
Chicken Caesar Wrap — Melty mozzarella with chicken, shredded romaine, grated Parmesan and pickled red onions tossed in Caesar dressing.

"This new, piloted sandwich lineup is all about listening to our guests and evolving the menu while staying true to what our guests love about Mellow," Elizabeth Brasch, EVP of marketing at Mellow Mushroom, added in the press release. "We intentionally chose a mix of markets with highly engaged fans to help us test, learn and refine. Guest feedback will directly shape what comes next, making this a truly collaborative step in growing the Mellow menu and expanding into a competitive lunch-forward option."

The sandwich menu is available at select Mellow Mushroom locations through July 7.

Mellow Mushroom was founded in Atlanta, Georgia, and has more than 160 locations.
