This place is a true Neighborhood Family Favorite for us. We usually sit on the bar-side at the big table against the window. It's "our spot". We basically order the exact same thing every time we go in. 1- Lodgepolls 1- Discoveries Cabernet 1- Lg Thin 1/2 pepperoni 1/2 cheese 1- Sm Thin pepperoni/sausage/red onion Their thin crust pizza is our favorite and their toppings are all fresh and delicious. The servers are all very friendly and polite. If I had any complaints it's that many times they forget to unlock the bar-side door and sometimes they don't know you're sitting there if it's early.

Food is good, I just personally wouldn't go there unless I had too. Too pricey and it's not amazing.

Delicious pizza, pasta, and salads. The food is fabulous. But the heights location has far better service and is worth the trip, in my opinion. The waitresses seem too busy to refill drinks, check on tables, etc. even though there are only a few people here. The food does make up for it, but since there's a location nearby that offers the complete package for the same price, I usually go there.

This is the closest place to our house with a tv to watch sports. We don't have cable so sometimes we want to watch a game and this has become our go to place. Being mostly a vegetarian there are actually plenty of menu items for me, as long as I'm willing to eat cheese. And the food is pretty good, most of the time. One complaint I have is for the house salad dressing; either it's disgusting or they gave us gravy by accident. I do, however, like the lodge poles and the Caesar salad. Food is good, atmosphere is also good, and we can bring the baby no problem since it's usually kind of loud here anyway. We like this place well enough to be regulars.

For lunch today I had the Cajun Chicken Alfredo, but it seems that they messed the order up and I got some other type of chicken Alfredo. There was no Cajun flavor what so ever. It was still delicious. The staff were friendly and the waitress was good. Can't give five stars because the mess up on the order. I would try them again!

I'm in love with mackenzie river pizza. Their house salad & dressing are SO AMAZING. the pears and grape nuts are so so good together. :) Athenian pizza and the chicken sandwich are what I always get. So delicious. Friendly staff and a cozy environment. Ive travelled the country and have yet to find something like it. I'll be back soon!

Ate at this location while visiting family from out of town. While the service was friendly I had a couple of disturbing problems with my meal--I had to send back my wine glass because of a large food particle stuck on the inside of glass. Then while I was eating my veggie wrap I was very taken aback by the large chunk of ham I found in my veggie wrap (I am a vegetarian). The server explained it to the manager and they took it off the bill (supposedly--we did not receive an itemized bill). The server was very apologetic, but we did not see the manager which I find surprising with all of the problems with my meal. Will not visit again.

I currently live in Denver and have yet to find a pizza joint as good at Gourmet pizza as MacKenzie River Pizza. All of their pizzas are tasty, but it is their Lazy M sandwich that I crave. Its their version of the BLT, but so tasty and right on that man, what I wouldn't give for one now. I haven't had anything there that I haven't liked. The atmosphere is great. Not too uptight but clean and professional. The staff has always been pleasant not too forceful, but casual and conversational.

I like this place-the service is usually pretty good and the pizza is great. They almost always forget to unlock the door to the bar side, which is an annoyance, but not a big deal. THe atmosphere is great. We've received really bad service in the past, but the food is so good and the service, when it is good, is so good that'll we'll keep coming back. It does seem like the service is a lot better than it used to be.

If I was rating the food alone I'd give 4 stars but it's the service at this specific Mackenzie river location that makes me reconsider coming back. We always order the same pizza - The BLT which doesn't have much cooked items on it at all... but the pizza itself usually takes 30+ min I can't imagine how long a pizza with meat on top would take. Once they finally bring us the pizza it's almost like the waiter/waitress disappears for another 30min and we sit patiently waiting for them to come by to either fill our drinks or to bring the check. So now we're there 1hour (just two of us and one pizza) and we've received our check but it always seems that the waiter/waitress takes our card to pay the bill and it takes them another 20 min to bring it back for us to sign. It's just a lot of waiting around for a pizza. I would recommend the food but I think the service leaves a lot to be desired.

Very good pizza and the pesto bread sticks were tasty. I have 4 kids 14,12,11 and 2 1/2 and they were ALL happy. We have the (I think this was the name of it)stockman pie (steak, sausage, bacon) the sausage was spicy and added good flavor to the pie. There marinara sauce is seasoned well. The kids had the traditional pepperoni. It was not NY style pizza but that was fine as it tasted wonderful. The sourdough was a nice twist on a classic. The service was very good and attentive. We were seated right away even with a party of 7 and it was Sat. night.

Mackenzie River Pizza is great. It's always really clean, the service has always been friendly but not all applebee's fake cheerful when I've been there, and everything on the menu is delicious and comes in huge portions. It's the kind of place where you go and can't decide what you want because everything is delicious, and the meals you haven't tried yet all sound like they might be good too. Also, they feature probably the best selection of in-state micro-brews of any place I've been in Montana. The pizza is pretty high class for pizza, but doesn't neglect the classics. So, they have a thai pie with peanut sauce and a vegetarian pizza with one hundred percent meat free tofu pepperoni, but also a regular old big meaty all meat pizza with one hundred pounds of meat. My favorite is the Madison: Bacon, cheddar, and ricotta on their delicious sourdough crust. Yum!

Food was good. Service was SUPER slow. It took 5 minutes of us standing alone at the door to get seated, and another 10 to get a drink order in. They quite obviously have highschoolers working, and they haven't been trained well. The server sloshed my husband's beer all over the table, and then disappeared for so long that we had to get up and find our own napkins. All this with only six table filled in the whole place. Their sourdough pizza crust is really good, but most of the toppings/sauces were on the bland side. Overall not too bad, but don't expect good service.

Fancy atmosphere but it's still just a chain pizza place. The wait times to get served can be horrible and often the high school wait staff can be very careless and rude. The pizza is not at all traditional but very eclectic, some very interesting and others just plain strange.

Me likey! Granted, I've only had the hot hawaiian pizza, but it is the bomb diggity. And the dressing for the thai salad is divine...maybe the secret ingredient is crack. Waitstaff is fabu, as well - friendly, on top of things, and good for a beer recommendation and friendly chat.
Pizza is a famous Italian dish savored around the world. The entire credit for the popularity of Pizza in the United States goes to the chain of pizzerias all over the country. While the base and the texture of Pizza remains same across the globe, it's the toppings that differs from country to country. In the United States, you will find the top pizzerias serving pizzas with the toppings of mainly beef, bacon, chicken, ham, and sausage for the non-vegetarians. Other than these famous meat options, Pizzas with veg toppings such as mushrooms, pepperonis, garlic, tomatoes, spinach, etc. are also famous in most restaurants in the United States.
Irrespective of your locality, you will find a variety of different restaurants in your cities offering pizzas of all different types.

Over the years, different pizzerias in the United States have developed their own respective regional variations. Pizza gained popularity as the iconic dish in the United States in the second half of the 20th century. Whether you prefer thin or thick crust pizza, you can find a pizza of your preference at the best pizza restaurants in your city.
