What a strange place! So, brand new and well-decorated. Kinda rustic and fancy, all at once. There was a sign that read something like, "Please be patient, we are way understaffed." Oaky, I get it. Many place are. Then, as I sat, waiting for my food, I noticed two young ladies in the kitchen looking lost. One was flapping her arms like a bird, not really sure what that meant, but it had little to do with the ABCs of a commercial kitchen. Another, after listlissly checking some of the food orders already waiting to be given out, choose to talk to her BFF. For more than ten minutes. My order, aparentlly, sat there, while she gosspiped with her BFF. "I mean, he told me to check on the order, but there was no name that went with any of the orders, so what was I supposed to do?" More gossip about what turned out to be my order, until her manager lit a fire under her and asked her what I was waiting for. Once torn from the eternal gossipy bonds of adolescent friendship, she realized that I had been waiting for an order that had been sitting for more than ten minutes. Oopsie. The food was fine, especially for the price. It was the service that kind of ruined the visit. read more

I'll start with the positives. The restaurant was very nice! Our food was equally impressive. I had the baked chicken Alfredo and my wife had the tomato basil pizza, both were fantastic. The beer selection was impressive, as was the wine choices. And last but certainly not least, our waitress Chancy, was very tentative and professional. Nice job! Now, for this part it isn't necessarily anything the restaurant has done. When we arrived at 6:30 there was a full waiting area. But while getting our name on the list I couldn't help but notice there was atleast 12 or so empty tables. After being seated I realized why. There was only two waitresses. So, if you show up and have to wait, just be patient. If your food is taking longer than normal, just be patient (we were pleasantly surprised! It was worth the wait). I'm sure management and owners would prefer enough staff to fill the restaurant. Food was great, beer was great and so was the waitress. Definitely worth a try! The Bennetts read more

There were 6 of us, we put our name on the list at 645, waited until 710 to be seated. There were only 4 parties at the restaurant. Took 8 mins to get a drink order put in, and another 5 to get them. Then we ordered food, from the point in which we ordered food, it took an hour and 10mins for us to recieve food. 3 more parties were seated between when we ordered and all recieved their food prior to us. When we finally got it, the pizza wasn't cooked completely, dough was softer and colder than one would like. Dirty dishes were not cleaned off the table in a timely manner (or at all for that matter) One of our beers got sent to another table without our request, and they had the audacity to charge us for it? They Then wanted to charge us full price after receiving such terrible service, and it took me commucating with management to knock even half off our bill. We asked our server if it was his first day, he said he had been there 2 months. Server blamed kitchen staff, but kitchen only makes what they're told, when they're told, maybe if he wasn't trying to flirt with the hostess he could have done a better job. This is only receiving a one because I cannot go lower, terrible service, terrible food, will not reccomend to anyone. read more

I enjoy this place as a quick lunch spot to go by myself. The food doesn't wow me but I also don't hate it. The servers are all friendly and it has a good atmosphere. read more

Hard pass. We have tried the Belgrade location twice recently. Both times the pizza was undercooked, doughy, and lukewarm. The cheese wasn't even melted all the way through. Seriously, take and bake pizza from Albertsons is better quality. The service was terrible, it took forever to get our food ordered, our server was standing around talking, the restaurant was only about 1/3 full on a Saturday evening. I've been eating Mackenzie River Pizza since it opened in the 90s and I can 100% attest that it has gone wayyy downhill. I can only describe the food as gross. Do better!!!! read more

I will always have a special nostalgic place in my heart for Mackenzie River! Plus it doesn't hurt that the food is unique and flavorful. This trip my family and I shared the scrumptious Thai pie which is covered in chicken, peanuts, Thai sauce, green onions, bell peppers, and cilantro. So much fun flavor on this pizza! We order extra chicken on ours. We also ordered my favorite sandwich- the smokin' turkey. On their delicious bread with feta, smoked turkey, spinach, olives, and a pesto Mayo. Served with blue corn chips on the side. Again, really great combination of flavors. This location is probably one of the smallest in Montana... and the service was a little slow- but the management noticed our long wait for food and rectified the situation for our table. Super impressed! Finally we were able to try the Mack baked cookie dish- of course tasty. Gooey cookie in a cast iron with ice cream- I've never had a bad one of these. Try it out- help keep small town business going! read more

We tried this location as we usually enjoy the one downtown. Won't be back. They tried, but fell way short. It was crowded and there had been a large party there, breaking up as we were seated. The table top Was clean, but underneath there were crayons and used napkins. Our server was clearly tired and tried, but we had to ask for napkins, plates, and silverware when our appetizer arrived. Nobody cleared plates at any point. The food was mediocre. The nachos were over cooked and tasted like olives all over (seemed they just tossed them on, getting juice everywhere). We were a party of 4; 2 ordered pizzas, one sandwich, and one pasta. Both pizzas were grossly undercooked (uncooked dough visible). One pizza had far too much cheese on it. The pasta was not cooked the same way it is downtown. It seemed to be ladled from a a larger pot with the fixings placed on top. The bread crumbs usually toasted on the top we're just sprinkled on. In short, we will go downtown from now on. read more

Plenty of tables and they are making everyone wait. If I knew this, I wouldn't have came. So much for relaxing and having a drink.

The last two times we ordered pizza , one for pick up and the other delivery. Both pizzas were doughy and the cheese wasn't completely melted. read more

To start we ordered the lodge poles that were delicious. I ordered the lunch duo ( spinach salad and pepperoni pizza). The salad was loaded with toppings (feta, onions, pecans) unlike most places. My husband ordered the chicken fettuccine recommended by our waitress and it was one of the best pastas I've had. For dessert we had the Mack lovin' and it was amazing! read more

Visiting my daughter and went here upon her recommendation. The wait was a little long for Sunday evening (45 mins) but the atmosphere was great and the food was good. The server was very pleasant but unfortunately working several tables as it appeared they were a little short staffed. The nice thing is they moved out of downtown Bozeman to a nice new building that has easy access/parking. Would return. read more

Sad to say wasn't as good as previous times. Maybe just a new cook at the new location? read more

MacKenzie River Pizza - Pear & Bleu - Pizza Near Me - Belgrade, Montana

Ordered the Thai Pie, Rancher, and Mackenzie River for takeout. All were great, no complaints from anybody at the party!

A search for pizza near the Bozeman airport led us to this place, and it was a pretty fortunate find. We were ravenous after a very delayed flight, so that could bias things a little. But we really enjoyed the pizza, and service was very friendly and prompt. A small pie was perfect for two people. We ordered the Madison, which could have been over-cheesed with mozz, cheddar, and ricotta along with mushrooms and bacon. But it was actually quite nicely portioned, with big chunks of fresh mushrooms and the perfect amount of bacon. Sauce was on the sweet side. The regular crust was the only thing that was a little off, although not terrible. Just a little on the doughy side and underdone. They also have a thin crust option that I would be curious to try. read more

The place isn't very big and can be hard to get a seat some nights I like the fact that you can watch them make your pizza. The pizza was good and fresh made but I think the prices were a little high. No complaints on the service. read more

Not happy with my server. I am lactose intolerant and specifically asked for vegan cheese. Hard to tell it wasn't vegan cheese (made from soy) which I have gotten there multiple times, until an hour later when I'm literally fighting for my life. Thanks! Plus I was charged for the vegan cheese! Not happy! 100% not going again and 100% don't go if you have dietary restrictions. read more

I normally don't write reviews, but this experience was exceptionally bad in my opinion. I ordered 2 sandwiches and it was a standard wait time, but when I arrived they were extremely slow with the staff just hanging around in the down time. When I showed up they forgot half my order and they other half was completely wrong. As someone who waited an extra ten minute, left a tip, chips were stale and paid more for an order I didn't get. I was really disappointed and don't think I will be coming back. read more

Highly understaffed. Staff was unable to answer questions. One hour visit is now at 2. Silverware was unavailable. Food was good when it finally came out. Beer was cold. Management needs replaced. The restaurant should be ashamed. read more

Unfortunately our visit was not great to say the least. The food was served dangerously cool. Soup was cold and sent baked (waiter asked if he could microwave it up for us again), chicken wings were very undercooked and soggy. Staff didn't seem to care or act like it was out of character for the place. Sad as we live down the street. We won't be returning. read more

On our trip back to Montana this year, we dropped by this MacKenzie River Pizza location on our trip up north and it was delicious! We got a pizza, half-Madison and half-Bear Tooth Sausage. Both halves were unique and different (the fresh ricotta on the Madison really takes it up a notch)! We wrapped up our first Montana 2018 meal with the DOC holiday from their seasonal menu and it was blissful. You can't go wrong with a warm skillet cookie a la mode, and when I'm in Montana I try to load up on huckleberry everything-- it was everything I wanted and more! Wonderful service at this location and food! read more

Don't waste your time or money, the servers are good! The food is horrible. The food is not consistent with the Bozeman restaurant, as a customer that has been going to Mackenzie River for years. When you order a simple Willow Creek the Belgrade location is clueless as how to make it. The restaurant is dirty as well....the excuse is always the same. The owners should be on site making sure things are running smoothly. I will never return. read more

Belgrade not following covid safety rules. Hostess not wearing mask. Another wore mask around chin. Sat us next to large family group. Go to a restaurant that cares about safety. read more

$19.25 for a cheese pizza? Hard pass. It's not even very good, to be completely honest. Dough was soggy, cheese was barely there. Last time we'll order here. read more

Surprisingly good pizza with lots of specialty ingredients. Large variety. New York/hand tossed crust is available along with thin. The crust is good. Particularly liked the Madison pizza with bacon,mushrooms, Fresh ricotta, mozzarella, cheddar cheese. The humble pie with olive oil garlic, spinach, asiago and fontina and ricotta cheese was pretty good too. Apple chicken flatbread was particularly good. Cute decor and friendly staff. Very close to the airport so able to hop over while waiting for a plane. Didn't expect to find good pizza so close to the airport. read more

I just ate there at the McKenzie River Pizza in Belgrade with a friend. Neither one of us were impressed. The turkey, bacon, avocado, lettus,mayo. The bacon was bacon bits, not kidding. the bread or roll was there times the meat, you could not eat it as the bun was way too big, I finally had to take one half of the bun off just so I could eat it and all the bacon bits kept falling out and would not stay on the sandwich..Then it came,, for two sandwiches which were mostly bread and one squirt it was 29.50. WHO charges that much for two sandwiches and a pop?? I cant even rate this review as it was awful and not too make it worse , I had the screaming you know what after for an hour.. GOOD LUCK read more

Nice pizza joint! They offer a few pasta dishes that are all good! Their pizza is very good, but only on the thin crust....at least for me. Sandwiches are so so. Nice selection of craft beers! Be prepared for a wait usually. They have a big turnover in staff from what I've seen, so it can vary each time you're there. But we still love it! The one in Bozeman is also very good, but because it is downtown, it gets busier. read more

Stopped in for mid-afternoon lunch while travelling through the area. Sign said severely short staffed and a wait should be expected. They were right about that but honestly, those that were working were not putting in much of an effort. Took 39m to get a plate of nachos to share. When they arrived, they obviously had been in the oven for far too long as the cheese was burned into chips they didn't seem to think it was a problem and presented it as if nothing was wrong. I sent it back and we left. No more Mckinzie RiverPizza for me. Very poor service and no attention to food quality. read more

Food was great. Christy was an awesome server. The Italian Pizza was fabulous. We will be back!

This is one of our favorite places to stop and eat when we are in town. The staff is always friendly and the food is great!

We just flew in for vacation and the person at Hertz recommended Mackenzie's to us. What a great recommendation! We started with a small bowl of chicken chili chowder. It was outstanding! I had the Sante Fe Sandwich and to was outstanding. Mackenzie's a relaxed atmosphere with friendly staff and good food. If you are in Belgrade, Mt and looking for quick food that good and served with a smile, then this is the place for you. read more

I really enjoy MacKenzie river pizza. They have a great selection of beer and the Stockman is amazing. If you have a chance to experience their Pesto Lodgepoles, take it. read more

Great atmosphere and decor. When you walk in you feel like you are in a log cabin and can see the food being made. The artichoke dip was amazing! The black corn tortillas were soft and s great pairing. The chicken Alfredo was delicious as well and came with just the right sound of everything. The meat lovers pizza left me wanting a little better. The cheese was not fully melted, the toppings were almost to big but even able to take bites of them and the crust was underdone. Overall some things good while others were lacking. read more

We are regulars at MacKenzie River. It is a good place to take out of towners or have a business lunch. Service is pretty good, food is consistent and predicable, and prices and decent. The Montana decor is nice. Large room in the back for larger parties - they have seated 18 of us without advanced notice before. A great "go to" place in Belgrade. There aren't many, so we appreciate Mackenzie River for this! read more

Oops! What's up with this Mackenzie? (Belgrade). Something is happening that's not up to par. The floors are greasy as are the tables. Been to several Mackenzies thru the state and never found one to be in this bad of shape. read more

MacKenzie River Pizza - Pizza Near Me - Belgrade, Montana

I used to LOVE this restaurant but the service I received today was horrible. Our order was placed for a full hour before we received food, with half our order forgotten and then another 30 minutes late. When we sat down there was no host for at least 20 mins to ask about waters or drinks. This was a disappointing experience, especially for the fact that the restaurant was not busy and there were many staff members working. read more

After braving a flight with our infant and two other couples with babies, we stopped here for a much needed beer and slice of pizza. MacKenzie did not disappoint. The IPAs were hoppy and strong. The Margarita pizza flavorful and delicious (nice thin crust; not even mildly greasy). Exceptionally attentive and kind service. Recommended! Thank you for saving our sanity after that flight, MacKenzie. read more

great pizza!! the regular crust is very thick and fluffy which i thought made it really good but if you don't like thick crust than ask for the thin crust pizza. They also had gluten free pizza which was also really good. I had been to another location before so as soon as i saw this one i knew we had to eat there. I would definitely recommend this restaurant read more

Great food !! We had the Italian Ziti - Sedona pizza and Chicken Alfredo with Penne. All three meals were yummy! Quick on the food service initially and then our waitress disappeared !! Frustrating when you can not get something to drink while you eat your meal. Their Huckleberry Lemonade was great - not too sweet and for desert we had the cheese cake !! read more

Made me wear a mask to pick up a called in to go order. As I was paying and waiting I noticed two kitchen staff not wearing masks. I brought it to the attention of the staffer working with me, she shrugged. I asked for a manager none to be found. I called back and discussed with manager the mask policy and lack of caring from the staff. Won't eat here again read more

I was going to give this place a pass after an awful take and bake pizza. Then I went yesterday and ordered a veggie wrap. It was dry and tasteless. The few vegetables that were on it were stale and the sprouts were slimy. Now today I feel sick. Hoping it's not food poisoning. The Mackenzie River in Helena is good, so this is obviously poor management. read more
