Finally found some decent food here in Great Falls! I came here with 3 other students in town on a Friday evening, and wow it was super packed for such a small town. And there was even a 25 minute wait! We ordered 2 pitchers of the Dam Grove beer, the breadsticks, and 3 large thick crust pizzas - the Flathead, Bistro, & Branding iron. Of course, you can't go wrong with breadsticks, they were nice and cheesy. Surprisingly, my favorite pizza was the Bistro - I loved the tangy mix of the balsalmic glaze contrasted with the savoriness of the prosciutto and bleu cheese. It was really delicious and unique! Meanwhile, the Flathead was loaded with great toppings (chicken, spinach, mushrooms), and just solid alfredo pizza. Finally, I didn't like the Branding iron so much - it came with a spicy Italian sausage with jalapeños, however, the toppings were scant. Split, between 4 people, it only came down to $22 without tax and tip. We were extremely stuffed AND there was plenty of leftovers for all of us at the end. read more

Me and my husband spent one night in Great Falls - the last night of our two week US road trip. We had a long day of driving and wanted a good supper. We looked on Yelp and this place was highly rated so we decided to give it a go. It seems like most of the other restaurants in town were fast food or poorly rated. Imagine my surprise when we showed up to the restaurant and there was a 25 minute wait! On a Wednesday night no less. We were absolutely starving, so we perused the menu while we waited so we could order right away. The menu is somewhat small, only two pages with apps, salads and 10+ pizza varieties (or make your own). We chose to share a large Caesar salad and the Athenian pizza (olive oil and garlic, spinach, tomatoes, red onions, Kalamata olives and mozzarella, dusted with feta) with tomato sauce instead of olive oil. The salad was really big and came with these cute little tongs so we could split it onto separate plates. However the salad was very dry, barely any dressing. I asked for more and got it no problem, no charge. The pizza was good, but not as fantastic as these other reviews made it out to be. I suppose it's probably a step up from other small town restaurants, but to me it was average. Good, I'd eat it again, but not amazing. Our waitress was very chipper and nice. The wait times for the food seemed to stretch a bit. The restaurant, like I said, was very very busy. read more

Really good food and drink selection, and a pretty decent happy hour for drinks. The service can be hit or miss, sometimes abnormally long wait times, the only reason I didn't give five stars. read more

Visited for lunch and started with amazing artichoke dip with pesto, served with blue corn chips. Had a pizza as well with darn good homemade crust. Service was a bit lacking. The host was very blasé, completely unenthusiastic. Waitress was decent - and zero recognition when we left. Was just like we had robots surrounding us. read more

We were looking for dinner in Great Falls on the 4th of July. They had already rolled in the sidewalk and our first two options were closed. We thought that we were gonna starve when we opted the MacKenzie River Pizza Co. Great pizza (I am a thin crust guy), pasta and salad. They had a respectable beer and wine selection. The place is clean and well lit. The service was very good. Glad we found it. read more

The pizza was pretty good. Sitting in the back patio was just what we were searching for after a long Motorcycle ride.

Nice setting, great atmosphere and friendly service. The choices of pizza is certainly interesting and you can experiment a bit by doing half and half. The quality of the pizza was OK but salt was the overwhelming taste in all the pizzas we ordered. Overall, still a nice experience to sit around with friends, drink a few beers and have decent pizza which will taste still better than average bar food. read more

Love love love. First time here and I loved it! Everything about this place is great. The atmosphere is relaxing and the decor and place looks nice and clean. I suggest reservations though because there was a wait list when we got there. The waitress we had was very nice and gave us great service. She gave us a whole pitcher of water probably because she noticed how fast my husband drank his water lol the only reason why I gave it one less star than perfect is because when my soup came out, it was cold. They did take it back and reheat it though. We tried the cheesy bread sticks (lodge poles) and it's too die for but it was so good it made me full!! The bbq pulled pork pizza is amazing!! So is the one with steak. The dough here is so soft!!!! read more

See all

Love this place! We have eaten in and carried out and in both scenarios the pizza was fantastic! The gluten free crust does not disappoint. The service is friendly. The inside of the place has great decor. Our favorite place for a family dinner. read more

Let me start by saying that my husband can eat fire! For him, there is nothing too hot. MacKenzie's gave him a run for his money. See, he ordered a Beartooth pizza (Italian sausage, diced tomato, red onion & red peppers) but asked for pepperoni instead of sausage. When it came out, we both looked at it and realized it had jalapeño peppers on it. He threw some crushed peppers on it and took a bite. He said it was frigging hot! We asked our waitress about it and the surprise look on her face was good along with the comment that he got a Branding Iron (Italian sausage, jalapeño peppers, and crushed red chilies) with pepperoni instead of the Beartooth. He liked it so he kept it. When our bill came, they had comp'd us his pizza - on their own. That's good customer service. I had the Sequoia (Fresh pesto, sun-dried tomatoes, artichoke hearts & toasted pine nuts.) which was very good! We sat out on the patio and enjoyed our dinner there. As we are traveling, we plan on trying out their other locations. read more

We came to visit Great Falls and were told that MacKenzie River was a good place to go. To be very honest, the food was not the best: colder than it ought to be, late arriving, and just so-so. We were out on the patio and felt as if we had been forgotten--reminders needed for beverages, and the service was sporadic at best. Our family took us here expecting better and they apologized for the food and the service. Really--to be honest--the waitress was nice and the ambiance was good but I had expected better. Maybe they were understaffed or something else was going on; I'll try them again someday but, sadly they won't be our first choice because when you spend pretty good amounts of money on a lunch, it ought to be perfect. read more

Decent pizza and other entrees / sides. Step above the regular chain pizza places, but Costa more too.

Consistently delicious pizza. I cannot talk anyone in my family to go anywhere else when this place is mentioned. The servers are usually as awesome as the food. Doesn't hurt that they serve a decent selection of microbrews. read more

Been here twice. Very nice atmosphere, good service and the food was delicious. Both times the milk tasted funny, so I drank the water. Update: I went back on 12/3/11 and the milk was delicious :) I also enjoyed the chicken chili and and a slice of pizza. read more

Absolutely fabulous pizza even vegan options! Make the exception when in great falls and go here!

Mackenzie Rivers can be great, but this one is only so-so. The one in Bozeman is better. I like the atmosphere, and as with all of Montana the staff is friendly, but the food could be better. Specifically it feels like all of their pizza toppings are pretty dry. read more

The Greek salad, nachos, and cheese cake was amazing! The food is a great bang for your buck. Also, the manager Jeremy literally made my day! He went above and beyond for great customer service. I would highly recommend Mackenzie River Pizza Co. read more

We are from CO an saw this pizza place on one of the main strips in Great Falls. It was nice and clean inside nice people the server was too busy when we frist walked in and sat down but after picked up the pace. But the food an attitudes were perfect! It was pricey but well worth it ! We loved the the decorations in the restaurant. read more

MacKenzie River Pizza Co. - pretty cool tree in the restaurant - Pizza Near Me - Great Falls, Montana

I love the setting, adjacent to the Missouri R. There was a flock of Canada geese outside, waiting for a thunderstorm to pass! Overall, I'm happy with the restaurant. We had a friendly waitress and she knew the menu well. The menu looked great, some really interesting looking options. We were kinda brain dead after hours in the car, making it tough to choose! The best part of our meal was the salads. The Caesar was pretty normal. I think it would add a lot if they made their own croutons. The spinach salad was awesome! (Look out for blue cheese!). And my mom had the Cobb. It looked wonderful, great presentation! She said it was really good and I needed to put that in my review. (It came out in a warm freshly washed bowl however.) I ordered a thin crust veggie pizza, loved the pesto sauce, didn't care for the broccoli. It it was really a little bland. My husband ordered the hot Hawaiian with no jalapeños. Pretty slight on the pineapple and he said the BBQ flavor was weird, but in all fairness, he doesn't pay attention when he reads menu descriptions. The thin crust was great on both pies! read more

Great pizza! Even though it was busy the food came in a timely manner and was excellent.

After enjoying this restaurant in Kalispell earlier in the week, we were excited to see there was a location in Great Falls. We love their pizza, flatbread and salads. It's a perfect stop for families with kids. read more

Ordered a salad, wings, and chili....1.5hr delivery later, COLD. Bad service & bad food.

Their pasta is amazing. My friends and I are regulars here and I always get some type of pasta. Very delicious and wait staff has always been kind. Portions are good for the prices as well. Besides pasta, their lodgepoles are a must try. read more

Just passing through Great Falls and ordered pizza for take out after a long day of driving. I have to say, the Madison pizza was probably one of the best pizzas I've had in a long time. Great flavor and fresh tasting. Yummy! We also had the Good Ol' Boy and unlike other pepperoni pizzas I've had, this one wasn't greasy...nice! read more

I CANNOT say enough good things about this place!!! We are visiting a family member and there were 11 people in our party. Our waitress was amazing! She made suggestions and got our appetizers out for us to enjoy before our main meal. Our drinks were never empty. We had two 17 mo olds with us and she was very accommodating with them. She told us ahead of time they were short handed in the kitchen so she suggested we order the kids meals ASAP. Even being short staffed our food was excellent and we didn't have to wait long at all. Wonderful experience and delicious food!!! Thank you! read more

MRPC is amazing! Great atmosphere, followed by constantly great service. The food is amazing. You can never go wrong with the nachos and all their pizza is very good! It's always our go to when we are out and can't decide on where to eat! read more

I come here every time I visit GF. This was by far the best, right in the middle of COVID. Great service and the pies were spot on.

A fantastic spot! We tried both the MacKenzie River Pizza Co in Belgrade, MT and in Great Falls, MT!! Sooo delicious and will be back every time we are in town!! We ordered a GF Hawaiian pizza, GF cheese pizza and the regular sausage and pepper pizza....so delicious! We have also tried their wedge salad and jalapeño dip with chips which were also great, except the dip was definitely on the small portion. Past that, it was all wonderful! read more

Not bad for a pizza chain. The pepperoni tastes like hotdogs... dough is fantastic tho. Wings are good.

Really good pizza! We had thin crust and the crust had a great flavor with plenty of toppings. Price was reasonale. Atmosphere was rustic with a beautiful view of the river - very clean. Service was OK, a little slow on refills. Would definitely come back again. read more

By far the best pizza in Great Falls. Heck, I'd venture to say it even holds its own against pizzarias outside Montana. For the same price as any other pizza place in town, come here to get the best quality and variety available in Great Falls. All of the traditional options are there, but the menu is also full of unique, delicious pizzas you won't find elsewhere else in town. read more

We are here training from Ft. Bragg and wanted some good pizza. And of course we looked on Yelp and as always no disappointment. The BBQ and Hot Hawaiian pizza was delicious. read more

MacKenzie River Pizza Co. - Pizza Near Me - Great Falls, Montana

Can't say enough, great food, service and fantastic beer menu. Really enjoyed this place for quality food. Had been stuck here for 3 days and tried some really horrible food and was getting disappointed that Great Falls could not have any good food. Great find. Ask for Hanna as your server, she rocks read more

My husband and I have tried this place twice. The food is not good. The first time we tried the sequoia pizza and it was missing something. Plus our waiter only came back to us when the food came out. So the service was also not good. The second time was yesterday. The pizza my husband had was like a frozen pizza from the supermarket. I had pasta and it was just gross. So gross. The sauce was super thick and had very little flavor. It was supposed to have chicken but had chicken plus round flat sausage or meat of some kind. The waiter this time around was good I will give kudos for that. We won't be giving this place another try. read more

It was a long wait on a Saturday night so the manager had the hostesses pass out cheesy pizza sticks which are SO good! And right from the oven! Service is okay here, not the best read more

My first choice! Assigned to Great Falls for three months, this is a GREAT option for pizza! I ordered two pizza's and had them delivered . One was a a vegetarian but I added pepperoni and extras sauce, and the other was the Hot Hawaiian. Great crust (thin) and both were flavorful and the ingredients were fresh. Good customer service on the phone and they were on time with the delivery. It did take longer than 40 minutes, but well worth the wait. read more

We had the worst waitress ever. I ordered pasta no meat and she brought pasta with meat. She was like a robot and anytime we said anything to her her answer was either perfect or awesome in an automated way. She never engaged with us personally. The food was OK. read more

We ate in Butte, MT. The kitchen was backed up, and we had 5 hungry kids. We were given the option of getting fruit cups if the order took too long. Our Spicy Hawaiian and Sweet Chili Corn pizza were excellent and didn't take longer than expected!! The leftovers were A-MAZING too!! Great dinner with good friends from out of state!! read more

Ok. This place is good. But too expensive for a regular pizza night. The small pies are basically personal pies. I got the regular tomato and cheese pie with green peppers. The pies were great but service was poor. We arrived right when they opened and kept hearing our waitress would arrive....but i think she was late for work. A guy from the kitchen took care of us. He was great! My biggest "huh" is ordering on their app. They charge 75 cents to add a topping....but also 75 cents to REMOVE a topping??? I might as well just pick the tomato slices off by myself. I shouldn't have to pay extra to NOT have a topping. read more

Native Great Fallsian here. I LOVE MacKenzie River. When I'm back home - I try to drop in for some lodge poles and pizza. One of the best restaurants in great falls - highly recommend. read more
