Nice place. The beer was good. The pizza was pretty good. It's the only place in Helena to get pizza with a bar for us business travelers so I will be back my next trip. read more

I always try to make at least one visit to MacKinzie River while in Montana and the last time I was there in August was on target. I had my old standby the Stockman and was happy to see that it was the same great pizza as always! The server was nice and I got the pizza quickly. read more

The Tai Pizza and house salad is the best. Everytime we visit the Montana family, it is the hang out. Their brew on tap is tasty and the service is always great... read more

The pizza is pretty good. I definitely prefer the original crust over the thin crust. They have a nice selection of beer and the hot wings are also pretty good. The kids pizzas are a nice size and they come with fruit or salad, which is a nice change. My side salad was ok, they put pears and grape nuts on it. The pears were good, but grape nuts?? Who puts that on salad? The other reason I didn't give the place a 4 was because of the service. Not the best service, but if you can get past that then it's a pretty good place for families. read more

Great local pizza place, clean, good food for what you pay.

Great lunch. The sandwiches are big enough to share. The soup was great. They even added an extra soup just for us. Our waiter, Bradley was the hottest, funniest and best waiter to make the food even better ( Myrna quote). Really cold beer and great selection. read more

This is a solid go-to for fresh fare. I usually get their Cobb salad, which is unfortunately more "Cobb" than salad. I always end up with way more bacon and blue cheese left over without enough lettuce. Nonetheless, it's a great salad. Nice modern decor and nice staff. This is one of the few restaurants in Helena I can confidently recommend. read more

Always feels good being here, although the pizza would use a small upgrade in quality, other than that I think this is one of the best place to eat in Helena read more

We ordered take out for twenty people and the food was great, done on time, and accurate to the order. That does not happen very often! Good Job! read more

The flat head with sausage! Yummy house salad and will deliver to most of Helena! Oh yeah the lodge poles with pesto sauce and if they happen to have clam chowder get it! That's all! read more

My husband and I come here for a relaxed night out. We almost always order the same thing...because it's great. Lodge poles with artichoke dip, thai pizza and a beer. Perfect! read more

The pizza is not that great, but there are other great dishes they serve. The high rating is more for the atmosphere there are not that many pizza joints that have atmosphere of this caliber, if your in Helena and want to try something new, I would check it out, it has something for everyone, not just pizza. read more

Good MT business. I love trying out different things, usually, but the Thai Salad calls so strongly...

Went in around noon. The wait was very little. We asked for a table instead of a booth. We were seated in quieter area of the restraunt. The kids were immediately given crayons and a coloring mat. This was helpful as we usually have to pack them something to entertain themselves with until the food arrives. The menu was very easy to navigate through. We place a order for lodge poles & drinks as we waited for our other lunch mates to arrive. The lodge poles were out with our drinks. It was nice as the kids were now entertained and we're munching on something. Our other guests arrived and we ordered. We got kids pizzas for the kiddos and we ordered a cottonwood on thin crust. I saw that the had ricotta on another pizza and decided to give her a try on ours as its somewhat unique for a pizza. The pizza arrived and the kiddos were loving theirs. Ours arrived and looked excellent. The thin crust was perfect. The pizza however to our taste was over powered by the basil that they used so it over took the toppings including the ricotta. For this I will rate it at 4 stars. The server never checked on us the rest of the time also so the experience was not the greatest. I would recommend Mckenzie river but I'd ask them to go light on the basil and pray you get a better server. read more

MacKenzie River Pizza Co. - Pizza Near Me - Helena, Montana

Pizza wasn't cooked all the way and tasted awful they did make us a new pizza which was way better, Salad was wilted. Food quality was sub standard sadly. Service was the only thing that was good. read more

We've been here nearly once/month for about a year. Excellent GF choices and I've liked each of the 4 that I've tried. And you can have 1/2 one kind and 1/2 another even on the 10" GF pizza. I do ask for extra sauce on mine. Had the GF flourless chocolate tort for the first time tonight and it was yummy! We also split a small Cobb Salad so we could take pizza home for lunch tomorrow and it was excellent. The kids like the bread sticks too. Wait staff has always been wonderful. read more

The service in the Helena store is poor. As a result, I only eat the food served at the Missoula and Kalispell stores. Waiting tables is one of the easiest jobs in the world and it doesn't take much to at least get the job done. Having worked for the company for three years, the Helena store is not the norm. I find Mac River food to be amazing, but no food is good enough to endure forgetful, absentminded servers. I tried to get a second job there about a year ago, but the manager wouldn't even talk to me. I'll settle on eating their pizza in another city until they change things up. read more

Stopped in for supper on our way through town. Good service. The pizza was good with a tangy sauce and spicy pepperoni. Great value. Shared a pizza and had four drinks for under $20! read more

The bathroom was really nice and clean. The service (Lisa L) was amazing! She made sure we had everything we needed without being obnoxious. She had great suggestions on drinks. The appetizers were out extremely fast even though it was busy. The pizza (the clubhouse ) was incredible and was perfectly timed. I cannot say enough about how great my experience was. Best pizza in town! read more

Some of the BEST pizza I have ever had. In fact, that's all we eat here, even though they have a pretty big menu. The service is spotty; this place employes college kids. Most of the time, the servers seem like they've been up all night studying (partying?) and aren't very attentive. But the food is quite good. read more

This is a great place to eat. If you like to support local places (even though there is a chain through Montana) this is a great alternative to nationwide chain pizza joints. They also have a great menu of other items, pasta, salads, etc. The decor makes it a really fun place, the lighting would be great for a date, and they are family friendly. They offer a list of micro bews, and they go great with the pizza. My family's faves are the BBQ chicken pizza, and a buffalo chicken pizza. Def. a place for everyone to try. read more

I go here all the time - like weekly for years. Good folks. Good beer. Good food. Good clean atmosphere. Some menu items are better than others but it might just be my own preference. Example: My 17 year old son orders the lodgepoles all the time. He loves them. I'm pretty ho-hum on them. But their wings are great (try the Carribean style). The salads are also great. The Cobb is smaller than it used to be but still is a meal unto itself. The Wedge salad is also fun. It's made of a quarter of a head of iceberg lettuce (Yeah, I know - iceberg. But it is totally fine for this salad). Many times my wife and I will each get a house salad or the Wedge and split an order of wings. Add ice tea or a beer and you've got a great lunch or a light meal. They also have some great sandwiches which are made with their pIzza crusts so that it looks kind of like a pita sandwich. Don't ask for a side of fries. They don't fry anything. Many of my friends and a lot of other patrons order the pizzas. I do get the pizza occasionally but in my opinion, it isn't the best thing about them even though they have 'pizza' in their name. When I get the personal size pizza, I get the thin crust which is actally more "crunchy" than "crispy". I like it although I could see where others might not. I think the thin crust only comes on the personal sized pizzas. If 'crunchy' isn't your style, order regular crust (sourdough or whole wheat). I really like this place and lots of my friends go there regularly as well. It's not fancy, but then again, neither am I. read more

I travel to various towns in Montana, and look up to see if there is a MacKenzie Pizza there. And YAY!! There IS one in Helena... You see -- -there is NOTHING like their Cowboy Nachos. A visual and taste treat!!! read more

The food is average and expensive. This is a chain restaurant founded in Montana, so expect the same results as Chili's or Applebee's with some tacky Montana garb on the walls. My trips to Mackenzie River have become few and far between. I spent $30 and got two sandwiches on glorified hot dog buns, a handful of chips, a sliver of a pickle, and cake. The sandwich was way over salted and cold. The cake was the best part, but sadly, it was not made by them. Figures. read more

Waited 35 min after our order to find out that the ticket was misplaced in the kitchen. 15 min later the food arrives. About every five minutes after the waiter is at our table to see if we're ready to go. I understand mistakes, and I understand the need to turn over a table but not on the same ticket. We weren't even placated with a free iced tea or breadsticks. read more

Great pizza and friendly staff. I took 1 star off for service. Super friendly, but very young and inexperienced All food arrived at the same time (app, salad and pizza). Drinks were empty for 15+ minutes. Never saw server after food arrived. But she just needs training. I'd go again for sure for the food! read more

Unfortunately, I can't stand this place. We've eaten there three times, and every time we say it's our last. The pizza crust is very dry, and the toppings are not very flavorful. The one sandwich I've tried was a steak sandwich, and chewed like leather. If you are looking for pizza, go to Bulman's. If you are looking for Italian, go to the Mediterranean Grill. If you want to feel like you did not get your money's worth, go here. read more

We were here a Friday night and waited over 2 hours for our food to be delivered to our table The waitress had said that the kitchen had a huge line of tickets to fill. She also said that business has increased with food deliveries to the city, take outs and inside seatings and they cannot keep up with the orders. Obviously poor management! We will not be coming back to this restaurant here in Helena. read more

OMG! This pizza is amazing! And they have Daiya cheese for those who can't do cow or soy cheese. Great beer, too!

Just had a thin crust pizza delivered. Dry crust, burnt toppings. It was like eating pizza that had been sitting under a heat lamp for half the day. read more

I have been in Helena for a week and found myself eating here twice already. The food is solid, and I love the all you can eat soup and salad. Service was good and atmosphere is casual. read more

great pizza, the pasta is ok, might be better there rather than delivery. so far this is are go to place for pizza delivery.

My son and I ordered the Thai pie and lodgepoles and we thought it was "pretty good." We got this meal via takeout and it was cold by the time we got home. In the past I would usually order the Cool Smokin Turkey sandwhich which is really good but this time I wanted something new. Would I go there again? Probably, but I'm not in any hurry. read more

Went with my parents. Food and atmosphere were excellent. We got there a little later as the families were starting to leave. I think this place attracts families with younger kids and can be a little loud, but it was nice and quiet by 9pm. read more

I would say that this place is ok for pizza. I have eaten there twice over the past year, nothing to write home about. The decor is nice, and there are lots of choices, but nothing that really makes for a "I can't wait to go back" moment. The selections are also a little pricey. If you are thinking Pizza, try Bullman's or Pizza Hut over this place. read more

This is fine, but I think the glowing, positive reviews think too much of this place. Good? Yes. Great? No.

The service we received was ridiculous. There for a quick lunch while son had soccer game in town. Ordered house salad and a kids pizza.After waiting for 35 min for the salad, black slimy rotten lettuce on the house salad, TWICE. Waitress was completely rude and ignored us. Took 1.5 hours to get out of there and we left hungry. Bad, slow, rude, spoiled black lettuce = LOSE. read more

Don't go!! pizza was stale and lodgepoles were half cooked and just had cheese. Had high expectations having eaten in Bozeman Mackenzie which is wayyyy better..people who haven't eaten in Bozeman might find it good. Would never cone back to the Helena Mackenzie. read more

Every time I go in there, I always order the Gluten-Free pestopoles, because they are the absolute best. I love it there. My only issue is that their music is always a little too loud for my liking. read more

I love this place, my family and I are proud to vouch for their service any day. Very consistent and enjoyable everytime. The staff are great, the food is some of the best in town and the atmosphere is perfect for any occassion. If you haven't tried the Sequoia pizza yet, or any of their great offerings, I suggest you get yourself over their asap! read more
