Incredible thin crust pizza, but please, put a porter or stout on the menu! Great location on Main St. Downtown.

It was packed but staff was very friendly and worked hard to get our party of 6 seated. The pesto pasta and baked ziti was delicious! Definitely would recommend. We also had Ceaser salad, and artichoke dip which were pretty good. For dessert we had flourless chocolate cake, huckleberry cheesecake and the 'McLovin. The cheesecake still had frozen parts so it wasn't my favorite but it was still good. The flourless chocolate cake was dark chocolate - which I loved but if you're only a milk chocolate fan- take note (also it's more like fudge then cake-it's flourless). The McLovin was a hot chocolate chip Cookie with vanilla ice cream and it was the whole tables favorite. So good!!! read more

It is a nice space, and a great concept. This is the original location for MacKenzie River Pizza. However, it just was not as good as I remembered. I had the Rancher, and my friend had the pepperoni. There was nothing especially bad, but I expected more. I asked for my crust to be cooked "well done", and it was still on the doughy side. The meats, sauce and veggies did not seem to have a lot of flavor. Service was good. Overall, it lacked bang for the buck. read more

Showed up in Bozeman for a graduation dinner. Thought that this place could host a table of 11. There were busy but had three tables that could sit 4,4 and 6 people that no one was at sitting in a row. They still gave us a 30 min wait for the other larger party to leave the restaurant. Probably going to go to Old Chicago any way. Better staff and service there read more

We made a quick, and I mean quick stop into Bozeman before our flights. We found this cute pizza place on main street after trying to eat at local brew pubs. Little did I know it was #1 on Urbanspoon in Bozeman. As our only stop for about 35min, it represented the town well. We each had a different local brew, and ordered two large pies: the Sequoia (veggie) and Stockman (all meat). The Sequoia pizza was not my favorite, but it wasn't bad. The pesto was too subtle or over cooked, and artichokes are not my preference for pizza. The crust/dough was very tasty though and well cooked. As you can see, I couldn't even get my camera out in time before half the pizza was taken. This was a meat lovers dream, steak, pepperoni and sausage. It's also a few bites short of a heart attack. The problem is you want to take those bite because this was one of the best tasting meaty pizzas I've had in a long time. I usually go with healthier options, but when in Rome (i.e. Montana), meat is called for. Even though we only had a few minutes for food before catching our flight, I'm glad we got a taste of the local scene (pun intended). If you are looking for a place to eat in Bozeman, I only have one experience to reference, but I highly recommend MacKenzie River Pizza. read more

Pizza was on point, the tacos/lodgepoles/poutine fries were fire. Very good service from Violet, very friendly and professional. On vacation from California and we will definitely come back next time we are in Bozeman read more

Always one of our favorite pizza options when in town. Like the main street location. Nice locale & decor. Decent seating. Pizza is always fresh & well prepared. Service with a smile and a dash of Montana charm. Recommend the Lodgepoles to start off - won't disappoint. And besides, where else do you get a chance to order something as Montana as Lodgepoles? As a side note: We are looking forward to Mackenzie River expanding to the Cincinnati area soon in 2018. read more

At best, this restaurant was incredibly underwhelming. I ordered the artichoke dip for an appetizer and a tomato basil pizza for a main course. The artichoke dip was a poor name for what is essentially a bowl filled with hot, stringy, oily cheese. It's a great choice for experiencing subsequent stomach pain. I had high hopes for a good pizza. Immediately upon seeing the monstrosity before me, my appetite had disappeared. An American take on the classic Margherita pizza, it features a base of bland, canned-tasting red sauce: sweetend and underseasoned. The tomatoes had oddly been cored, but otherwise tasted fine. The most disappointing part of the pizza was the basil: approximately 2 basil leaves chiffonaded and cast into clumps on top. They were obviously cut earlier in the day and left to sit, as they were wilted and had lost pretty much all flavor due to being cut way before they were to be used. The only truly positive thing about the pizza was the bread and crust: it tasted good and was perfectly cooked. It's a shame that this wonderful base was ruined with the kind of careless work and poor ingredients you'd expect from a large chain restaurant. I would like to thank our server, Brittany, for being a very kind and attentive. She was the high point in this dreadful dining experience. read more

MacKenzie River Pizza Co. - Their take on a Margherita pizza. Notice the clumps of wilted basil strips. - Pizza Near Me - Bozeman, Montana

Absolute favorite restaurant in the world (so far) to get pizza! Everytime I'm in MT I try to eat here. Their options for dairy and gluten free pizza are hands down the most tasty, and they have such great specialty options. I know they have a great beer selection, and their wings are also good. Back in the day I used to get their house salad, with house dressing. Atmosphere is rustic and comfy, and smells so good inside. Personal size pizzas are so generous in size. My favorite pizza is the Rancher, in case you need a recommendation. YUM! read more

After a long day driving I craved pizza. But Thai food is my favorite. Hotel desk clerk recommended this place. Wow! Glad he did ! Thai pizza with thin crust was the best pizza I ever ate!!!!!! Perfectly seasoned with chicken, mandarin oranges, peanuts and red peppers--- great idea!!! Delivery was as promised. "Apple cobbler" I ordered came with 2 scoops vanilla ice cream in separate container so apple crisp was warm, ice cream cold... Nice touch. "Cobbler" was more of a crisp and I would not get again as it needed more apples for my taste. I shall make plans to pass through Bozeman again just for that Thai pizza! read more

The service was really slow, the pizzas were not warm when they arrived at the table. When we were seated at the table there was food under the table and other food ground into the carpet like it had been there for awhile. read more

Fantastic Thai Pie pizza the BEST ever. My wife ordered something else and I gave her a taste and had to fight her off my pizza. We both loved it! When we come back through Bozeman again its on our list to must stop for dinner. We were on our way to Yellowstone and overnighted in Boseman. read more

MacKenzie River has really struggled with staffing like all of us in the valley. My husband and I have continued to support them and have weathered their ups and downs without complaint. Today we had dinner and had to comment on the OUTSTANDING service we received from Allison. She was very personable and professional. She promptly seated us, took our order, let us know our order was on its way and followed up to see how everything was tasting. All with a huge smile! Great job Allison and we really appreciated your service today! read more

Pizza is great, service is always on point, and a great selection of drinks. Been here multiple times over the past few years and it's always a consistently good quality pizza. The salads and sandwiches are great also. The rod and pole combo is the best deal in Bozeman, in a town of ridiculous overpriced average food. If you want a different or maybe even odd pizza? They got you covered. The Greek was my favorite, but the jalapeño popper is a close selection. read more

You need an all around solid meal? This is the spot. If you want a salad for yourself don't get the small. Pizza is what I would describe as A1! Thanks! read more

We decided to go down town for dinner later than usual. Everywhere was closing early. Luckily for us, MacKenzie River was one of the only place open. The food was awesome. I highly recommend getting the thin crust. The regular is good but it's a lot of bread. Sam was our server and he honestly made our night! He was so friendly and humorous. We thoroughly enjoyed our time and we will be coming back to this location very soon! read more

Truly outstanding experience. Have eaten there twice this week and both times were great. Pizza is outstanding, large portions with lots of toppings. Service was very good and flawlessly executed with a smile. Server was Zandra. Hope to visit again sometime soon. One note, I don't prefer nor do I appreciate gender neutral restrooms. read more

This is a Bozeman classic, they've been here for as long as I can remember and its a must for any family we have visiting. The pizza is great, from classics to fun new takes. You'll get great service, and the atmosphere is warm and inviting. read more

I wish we would have looked at the reviews before we stop in.. the service is terrible and the food was cold with finally serve over a hour later. read more

Ouch. Didn't like this place. Cold pizza and my daughters chicken was cold in her pasta. The chicken looked like it was just thawed off the Cisco truck. read more

best french fries i've ever had ever in my whole entire life amazing lodge poles amazing server. the house salad dressing is weird

Good food. Wait person asked if I want everything out at the same time. I said, no, salad first. You know what happens next right? All the food comes out at the same time. Otherwise it s a great place read more

Three stars for good pizza but one for the staff. We ordered a pick up order and the woman who served us was either having a really bad day or really hated her job. She walked off as soon as we paid and we waited and waited for someone to acknowledge us so we could ask for peppers and Parmesan. We felt like we were bothering the staff. On a plus side, the pizza WAS yummy. We had the chicken with Alfredo sauce and it was delicious. read more

This was a pretty rememberable pie! Great local ales to wash it down and great service. I will look foward to dining here again. read more

Many people who know me well would argue that I don't have a heart. My intense cynicism and general pessimistic outlook merely qualifies their claims. And honestly, I don't deny it. Because I know that my heart belongs wholly to MacKenzie River Pizza. I first came to MRP in April of 2011 while visiting Bozeman and Montana State University. MacKenzie River was one of the first restaurants we dined at in Bozeman and was, in all honesty, one of the reasons I chose to go to MSU. The experience was holistically phenomenal. The service was fantastic, the atmosphere was cozy, and the food was...well...life-changing. Our wonderful waitress, Mikala (who has since become a friend of mine as my friends and I could be called permanent residents of the establishment), gave me and my parents the warmest possible welcome and showed us the kind-heartedness and general hospitality that is signature of Bozeman. As for the food, you really can't go wrong. Everything is made to the highest quality standards and is the closest thing to ambrosia. Of course, the pizza, being the focus of the menu, is hard to beat anywhere. My personal recommendation is for the Sequoia (on thin crust), a pesto pizza with artichoke hearts, olives, sun-dried tomatoes, and pine nuts. But, one item that seems to be overlooked is the Cowboy Nachos. Get them. And get them with steak. The first bite was so outstanding I was nearly thrown into cardiac arrest. MacKenzie river is simply a fantastic place to be. After the first visit, MRP became my main gustatory tie to Bozeman. Every time there is any sort of occasion, whether just getting back to Bozeman after a break, one of us celebrating a birthday, or surviving another week, we choose MacKenzie River as our restaurant of choice. read more

Holy crap, those are some mighty fine meatballs in marinara. I'm a half-Italian from north Jersey (mom's side), so I have a pretty high standard for a meatball. I can honestly say I'm impressed. Damn good marinara sauce, too. FYI: I ordered from the take-out/delivery-only location on 19th Ave; they delivered within 30 minutes to the Wingate. Sweeeeeet. read more

Ok, I realize that I am applying New York pizza standards to a restaurant in Bozeman. But the pizza was just not good. It was just doughy. Thick, chewy crust, just too much. Large amounts of dough, with cheese and meat thrown on it. The two stars are for the servers/ wait staff, they were attentive. We gave a good tip and will never go back read more

So I've always loved Mackenzie but there really seems to be a lack of service going on there now. I ordered a Polynesian and requested no almonds, simple enough. This is for a legit food allergy. Got the pizza for takeout and of course, covered in almonds. That's kind of a big error. Called them back and complained and all they offered was another pizza in an hour. Starving after a day of skiing I declined and we ate something else. So we paid $35 for a pizza we couldn't eat. Ultimately, we chose not to go back in an hour to get another one. That's on us. I wish they would have an ounce of service IQ to know they they shouldn't have given up at that point and offer us something else. Disappointed. read more

Without a doubt, this is the best pizza I've had in my entire life. The staff is upbeat and friendly, and the menu has an incredibly diverse amount of options. Everything here is good -- from the lodgepoles to the salads (try the Thai Peanut dressing) to the sandwiches, it seems like it is impossible to wrong here. The only reason I'm not giving five stars is because the wait can be long at times. Other than that, it is a great experience! The interior decoration is fantastic, and the food is to die for. read more

This is my go-to place in downtown Bozeman. The service is attentive, and chatty if you want to chat, informative if you need some advice about Bozeman, and very efficient. House salad with pears, grape nuts and creamy house dressing is light and refreshing, leaving plenty of room for my favorite small thin crust pizza. Local beers, great Arnold Palmers, wines are okay. Wine is reasonably priced, so we buy a bottle and take home the rest if we aren't in the mood to get silly. read more

I love Bozeman -- and the local, community atmosphere that pervades it all. So my bias is to love a place that got its start here -- and seems to be a local institution of sorts. But I was pretty disappointed. The pizza is nothing special. The veggies are ours might have been fresh, but I could barely see or taste them. And the entire pizza was overcooked, with the cheese hardened to a dark brown. The crust had potential, but it was hard to tell. I loved the rotating selection from all the local breweries. Very cool. But the atmosphere feels make the whole place feel like a chain restaurant. I appreciate it being family-friendly, but the layout makes it impersonal. It could use a bar -- and a bit more character. read more

While this is a pizza place, I had a huge craving for some pasta one day in Bozeman. Someone had recommending this place to me and said the food was delicious. Also that the menu has a wide range of different foods and that was absolutely true! While the pizzas coming out looked to die for, I needed my pasta. I had ordered the buffalo blue cheese mac and cheese and OH MY GOD. Normally at restaurants I cannot finish my meal, but I ate the whole dish and licked the bowl clean. The portion size was perfect and the tastes were amazing! Great buffalo sauce with the right amount of blue cheese. I was COMPLETELY satisfied. My mother who I was with ordered the nachos and they were towering! Every bite was filled with the perfect amount of nacho toppings. If I ever find myself in Bozeman again I will be sure to stop by Mackenzie River! read more

I really enjoyed going to a pizza place and not having pizza. The baked ziti was very good. They also offer innovative pizzas ..... just in case you're not tired of pizza. read more

A great place to stop off on main street after a long day of fishing, hiking, snowboarding, sitting inside playing boardgames all day when it's snowing or whatever else it is that you do....Chill atmosphere, good friendly service, and probably the best pizza that Bozeman has to offer (although not amazing compared to some of my favorites elsewhere). MacKenzie has a pretty good selection of Micro brews, thin/thick/or deep dish pizza with a variety of toppings, some great appetizers and ok salads. I would absolutely start off with the pesto lodgepoles, they are delicious to dip in both ranch and marinara. We ordered both the deep dish "Thai Pie" and "Veggie" pizzas and to be honest I wasn't psyched about either of them. I think with the deep dish they skimp a bit on the sauce and over cheese it- crust is only ok too. I would move straight to the 15" thin crust pizza, which is brand new for this joint, but I think more flavorful and delicious- pizza done right. Overall it's a great place to hang out and grab a beer and pizza with friends on a Friday night! read more

I am from Portland, we have amazing food available to us in Portland so it is tough to get much more than three stars from me unless you hit it out of the park. That being said, this place is SOLID. If I wanted pizza and I was in the area again, I wouldn't hesitate to come back, but I wouldn't go out of my way to eat here again. read more

This is a homey, authentic montana restaurant. You get a large, filling meal for an extremely reasonable price. We got a few drinks, a small pizza, a large half-and-half pizza, and a cobb salad for less than $25 dollars. Lovely, attentive staff and great atmosphere. They also have a great selection from local breweries. Very highly recommend this place! read more

The pizza here is good. Traditional American style in my opinion. They have some more "gourmet" options to choose from as well and their salads are decent. Overall, it's not a place I'd choose to have dinner out with friends, the atmosphere is more for an older crowd it seems. Their pizza is filling and well made with quality ingredients. When there are events downtown like Music on Main they usually have a table out where you can by pizza by the slice, always piping hot and delicious. For traditional pizza, they get 4 stars. For atmosphere and selection, I'd give it 3. Would love to see them bring a trendier and fun atmosphere into the restaurant. Dining here just isn't memorable or pleasant enough to justify the price of eating in. read more
