Originated in Atlanta during the early '70s, this regional chain fuses a trippy mix of psychedelia and pizza. It's become a favorite hangout among college students in university towns like Athens, Chapel Hill and Asheville -- no surprise, then, that they've opened the Orlando joint just down the road from Rollins College. Inside the cottage-like building, rock music, toadstool statuettes and mushroom art merge with slick contemporary furniture to create a hippie-chic ambience.

A hodgepodge of specialty pizzas, calzones, hoagies, salads and pretzels are served up; though rest assured -- you won't find 'shrooms of the magical variety anywhere on the menu. The pies are stone-baked with a high-gluten, spring water dough which contains no refined sugars making for a deliciously healthy pizza that won't leave you bloated. Specialties like the Kosmic Karma with sun-dried tomatoes, spinach, feta and pesto, or the pesto-based pie with spinach, portobello and button shrooms, feta and jalapenos are beyond compare. Meat-lovers will relish the House Special topped with five different meats and a bevy of veggies. The enormous tofu, tempeh and portobello hoagies will please vegetarian diners while the jerk chicken garnished with grilled pineapples is totally far out, man. College seniors will appreciate the 22 beers offered on tap as well as the assortment available by the bottle whereas families will ultimately dig the reasonable prices and fun atmosphere.
