The Decatur Mellow Mushroom shut down unexpectedly in May 2014. Since then, DaVinci's, another pizza joint, opened in its place in Commerce Square shopping center.
The new location will be at 340 West Ponce de Leon Ave., Menne said. That's the current location of New Orleans Snoball Cafe, which is reportedly moving to Stone Mountain.

"Born out of the free-wheelin' hippy culture of the 1970s," as its online bio says, Mellow Mushroom was established in Atlanta in 1974 by two students at Georgia Tech. It now has more than 150 locations throughout the country.
