It's a little pricey but SO worth it! Every dish we ordered was top notch. We ordered pizzas, burgers, and sandwiches. Every one was amazing! Will definitely eat here again the next time I'm in the area! read more

For being the only pizza location I could find in this lil town, I will say the food was not bad at all. The Street Corn Ribs were pretty damn good. Now for the Polynesian pizza, all the vegetables didn't get cook and the way and the sauce was lacking. The meat lover pizza also did not have all the meat cook as well. The salad was a bit lacking due to the lettuce browning on the ends. The location was a bit empty and the ambience was casual and the service is what you expect from a small town. read more

Great food..lots of variety and delicious specials. Staff and management friendly. positive community vibe. Love The Old Merc!

They have really good pizza, this place is a must try. It's a really big place and they have a lot of arcade games. I highly recommend.

If you are visiting the Intermountain Area, most especially if you are exploring Burney Falls, drive up to McArthur and visit this great pizza place that offers top notch and inventive menus. The atmosphere is lively with a room dedicated for an arcade and pool table. The service is great and the staff aims to provide their customers the notable, small town hospitality. read more

OMFG!! R u freaking kidding me? This place. Where do we start? The pizza or the arcade? Kids-best cheese pizza ever, and of course the arcade. Vibes? Local community meets bierhaus with funkytown blasting. The pizza!! They nailed the fundamentals, fluffy but thin, crunchy but soft, sauce is tangy. We couldn't decide between two specialties and they allowed us to do half and half pizza. They both blew our minds. Icing on the top. First rate service read more

Anytime you are east of Bernie on Highway 299. The place to go is the Ol Merc Pizza. It's much more than just pizza. This is one of the main local gathering spots for the towns of Fall river Mills and McArthur. You're always bound to run into a good local friend here. This is a re-purpose of one of the original Mercantile buildings back from the turn of the century. Fantastic setting. The Ol Merc has fantastic pizza coupled with some other accoutrements: a great bar with fresh beer on tap, a full video game arcade, pool table, and, wait for it, ice cream parlor! There is plenty of room to bring the entire family or the entire league team. Highly recommend it for the food, culture, and local vibe. read more

Wow! My pizza was delicious! The cashier Kella suggested that if I was having a tough time deciding on which one to get that I could go half and half. Great idea! I chose the BBQ chicken with bbq sauce, garlic, chicken, bacon, mushrooms and onion and the Chokin Chicken with creamy garlic white sauce, chicken, bacon, artichoke hearts, onion and mushrooms. I got the small (because I want leftovers to eat tomorrow). The pizza came out fast! Super great service. It was DELICIOUS! It was more than I could eat, but the personal size was $14 and the small was twice as big for only $3 more. The Merc was a cute old Mercantile store that is now a fun restaurant and bar with a fun arcade corner. This is the perfect place for dinner with the family. read more

I ordered a gluten free pizza with chicken, onions, and mushrooms. This is basically a small pizza as compared to the non-gluten free. $26.75 + tax!!! Say what?!?! This must be some incredible pizza??? I get my pizza with barely any toppings on top. The pizza is mainly cauliflower crust with a bit of chicken. Wowzers!!! Bottom line... not worth the money. When I complained they stated that my money was helping pay for the PGE bill. Say whaaatttt?!?! Service was a C- as well. Okay. Watch out for all the added charges for anything extra. You'll leave with no money in your pocket. read more

I love everything about the what has been done with the Merc. I think the flavors available on the speciality pizzas are fun and delicious - love the wings - the burgers, and other fun sandwiches I have had, are on my "will see you again" list. I can say without hesitation that all of the bites I have had here are definitely worth repeating on a regular basis. Not only is the food awesome - the sense of being there is very much the arcade pizzeria - so many fun games to play. All and all a place I love to take my family to just slow down and enjoy. Fantastic all the way around. read more

The people that work there are very friendly and helpful. It's a big place and although we weren't there with children, you can tell it's a family friendly place. I ordered a sandwich with a side of salad. Both were very good. My husband ordered a burger and fries and they were very good also. I highly recommend this place. read more

The Merc is awesome! My husband and I rented out the space for our rehearsal dinner and the owner Jared was super easy and great to work with. Their pizza is absolutely amazing and never disappoints. Their wine and beer selection is diverse and very well priced too! We wish they would be open on the weekends for lunch because we would be there even more! read more

What a find! Love the cool vibe, airy open feeling and fun atmosphere. We had an excellent beer at the vintage historic bar, waiting for our pizza. The pizza and seasonal salads did not disappoint. The salad was super fresh, with mint and toasted almonds and fresh basil dressing. We had a large pizza 1/2 BBQ chicken and 1/2 vegetarian. The crust was thin, moist and crisp on the bottom. Seriously, a great pie. The owner and chef Jared Albaugh came out to meet us and make sure we loved our food. Doesn't get better than that! read more

Delicious pizza! We were passing through for work and the RV park we stayed at recommended them. They had a lot of fun specialty pizzas. We went with the Chokin Chicken, fun and it didn't disappoint. Called ahead for pick up and it was ready when they said still piping hot! All the employees were very pleasant and willing to help. If passing through I definitely recommend. read more

They've worked hard to redo their menu and be a solid sports bar. We love coming here and supporting our local families. I can't eat cheese and their veggie pizza is still delicious with fresh ingredients. They are friendly and fun with a great small town atmosphere. It's one of the best places to watch a game in town! read more

New owners took over in spring of 2019. They carry on the same spirit and have made some positive tweaks to the food that I've been enjoying since I started bringing home pizza from here 12 years ago. Prices are super reasonable, and the pizza is tasty. Our initial slices even did the cheese stretch like they show on commercials. The dough is thicker than the last time I was there, but it's good too. We had a pepperoni/sausage and pepperoni/mushroom with garlic white sauce, and it hit the spot. We were going to get it to go, but it was ready so fast that we dined in. When the pizza was delivered, our server/co-owner brought out ranch, and we reminisced with her about how every table in a pizza place used to have honey bears on them so you could drizzle honey on the crust. "We have honey in the back! We get it from a local supplier, do you want some?" "Yes please!" Our girls were initially unsure about this new dining idea, but they ended up liking it. Layout: Big eating area, and great arcade area. Two pinball games, several multiplayer arcade (Simpsons!), pool and ping pong! We were in on a Saturday evening, and their four TVs were tuned to four different college football games. read more

, so I'm down to Fall River for a job for the weekend. Can one of my coworkers recommends this pizza place, so I was hungry after a 14 hour shift and decided to try it out, I go and I place my order, the girl tells me 20 minutes I said, ok, some waiting waiting 45 minutes goes by, I have all these workers looking at me, no ones letting me know what's going on, and so of course I start to get angry? Because I'm hungry.so I go up to the guy, andhe goes , did you order French fries, I go French fries are only part of my order, he goes excuse me, so I said it again, but this time I put they are only part of my fudging order cause now I'm pissed cause your not listening to me. And I ask you for a refund. This manager sitting here, instead of trying to defuse the situation, he's making it worse and then tells me I'm disrespecting him and his pizza place. Ok? But Helping 9 people after me and watching everyone get there food is disrespecting me , if he would have just said, hey, we messed up, sorry for not getting your order right, everything would have been fine, but no, he had to sit here and Dodge a bitch. I don't know how the food is because I didn't get to try it. But a small pizza wings and fries was not worth a 45 min wait. read more

We have been several times hoping it will get better each time. It is better then the previous owners but does not compare to Uptown in Fall River. They don't have the jumbo drinks anymore but their pizza has improved just not enough for my taste. Their Caesar salad with chicken is fairly good. Their chicken and fries is a great option for kids but being a pizza place I think their pizza should be better. The music on Friday night is deafening and not in a good way. We avoid it now after multiple times the music is just too loud. It's a small town place so the music is more of a social gathering. It would be a lot better if it wasn't so dang loud. I do think the balsamic drizzle on the pizza is really good. Some changes to the pizzas would be great and welcomed. Also the prices r high for the sizes and the quality of the pizza. read more

Just went to the grand reopening of The Ol Merc!! 5++++ stars The new crust is devine!!

Surprisingly good for a place so far into the out back. Best pizza in town only pizza in town. Staff was pleasant.

First, thank the lord this place exists! Most places shut down in the winter in this area. The pizza is great and toppings are always fresh. I enjoy the simple salads, fresh and crispy. The beer selection is great, just grab a six pack or a 16 oz off tap and grab a seat at this family style gig. They have live music on most Friday nights and to top it off have at least a half dozen old school arcade games for those of thus that remember when they were new. Note, the building had a fire in Sep 2014. They had to change their phone number. Correct#: 530-941-5556 I would give 5 stars, however, their hours have been confusing. But, typical of a small town joint. They stay open as late as needed, when business comes through the door. When they open exactly, is still not clearly understood. read more

First time trying this place - liked the nice local music, the place was clean, nice and warm, and staff were friendly. We tried the all-meat and the chicken garlic pizzas. However, the pizza left much to be desired, due to the crust which was extremely dry and hard - almost like a stale cracker. It was very disappointing, as the rest of the toppings and sauce were very good, and they even included ranch dressing without our having to ask for it! Adding some moisture to the oven would help it to rise and remain softer. I don't know if this was just an off night, but hopefully they can improve their crust! I would love to be a regular here as it is the only pizza place in town, and the rest of the pizza was excellent, with right balance of sauce, cheese and toppings, and very flavorful. read more

I didn't like it at all. They got the order wrong in the first place, but since i was already home when I found out i didn't want to drive 15min back to have them correct it. They didn't put any sauce on my pizza. The crust is astonishingly horrid. Worse than the frozen pizzas. I would havr much rather ate a frozen $1 pizza than the 25$ pizza i got from here. I dont know if i will be back to try anything else. I bet the business is still open because its the last stop for miles. You are better off at uptown pizza in fall river. read more

Love this place and the family that owns and runs it. Great pizza and sandwiches. Great for kids also.

this place is really wonderful I can't believe I'm the first person to review it. Very family-friendly they had a fire about a year ago and just recently reopened again large restaurant with many great choices and very affordable. read more

Very good service my family and I eat there every other week. Highly recommend. Big space some games for the kids

The pizza here is fantastic! It is so good. Tastes incredibly fresh. Infact I think I want some left overs.

Best pizza we've ever had! A co-worker & I worked from Burney to Fall River Mills & rented an Air BNB to save on the commute from Red Bluff to Burney every day. We drove a short 4 miles from Fall River to McArthur for the best pizza ever. We looked at another pizza restaurant in the town of Fall River but the pizza looked better in pictures coming from McArthur so we took a drive & a chance. We were very pleasantly surprised at how tasty the crust was! We split a large (which is near the size of an average xl & easily feeds 3 people 4 slices each) 1/2 & 1/2 an all meat combo, possibly called a ranccer or cowboy? & bbq sauce (instead of red) pineapple & sausage. DELICIOUS! Very good gamble to make the very short drive. We went back 2 nights in a row & both nights ordered the same thing. The salad bar is fair & offers average toppings along with iceburg lettuce. We had it the 1st night but skipped it the 2nd. The venue is very large & offers a bar & video games as well as a large screen tv. There is certainly something for everyone & Ol Merc offers burgers & chicken in addition to a variety of pizza. Should I be in the area again, I will certainly go back for the food, ambiance, & the owners are very kind. read more
