MacKenzie River Pizza Co. — Restaurant in Kalispell

I am 66 years old and I have been to every state in the United States and every major city. I always thought New York City had the best pepperoni pizza. Well they got some major competition and Kalispell Montana at Mackenzie River Pizza. It was delicious and I ordered the smallest one and I couldn't finish it. You go to Pizza Hut or Domino's or Papa John's and you might get lucky to have two or three pieces of meat or vegetables on each slice. These slices of pizzas are overkill, they are loaded there's no space left on the slice, there's no empty spot. The quality of the ingredients are awesome. The outside of the building has a nice parking lot it's well lit it's very clean the outside of the building looks fantastic. When you walk inside you can feel the ambiance. There's a nice person there to take it to your table followed up quickly with to take your order. Woke around the place see the decor and be sure to look up they have a large boat and paddle hanging in the ceiling. There's an outside deck if you want to eat outside it's covered so you're not going to get rained on. It's very nice back there. The pizza I got that I could not finish was only $14 and I took the rest of it home and I had enough for 2 days of lunches just put it in the oven get a little bit hot and get a Coca-Cola and you got your lunch. So for $14 I got their small pizza and for me, it lasted 3 days. Where are you going to go to get pizza and say something like that. They take credit cards debit cards and cash. It's a real nice place and they got handicap parking which is right at the door. They got tables or booths just in case you travel in a wheelchair like I do. Now let me talk a little bit about the employees! They welcome you and you are made to feel welcome when you enter and that's just the way you feel while you are inside. I'm at the cook I'm at the cashier I met the hostess and the waitress and everybody was just very very welcoming. There is no other place but this place for pizza in my opinion. Domino's and Papa John's and Pizza Hut I'm sorry about your luck but I'm not coming back I'm going to Mackenzie...

Fantastic pizza, but way to busy, and they weren't using both pizza ovens, just the one. The wait time was 30-40 minutes around 630 last night and was just packed, loud and hectic with few places to sit if your waiting for a pickup order or a table. Once our pizza was done, they called out for our name, and couldn't hear him. We stood in line for a few minutes to check on our order and they took a couple minutes to find it, they had lost a receipt with the name to another order as well. Delicious pizza, just not worth the hassle to go there ever again.

The employees seemed alright, but I did have a problem with they're kitchen set up. The 2 of us are from Washington and Idaho and our health code laws are apparently better. Nobody in the kitchen was wearing nets around any hair. There were guys with beards, medium long hair and goatee's and women with long hair and not a single hair net or pair of hands with gloves on to be seen anywhere. The only person that was even close to this was the 1 guy wearing a mask for Covid-19. Though the pizza is good, next time I'm in Montana, I believe I will skip this place from that alone. It's absolutely disgusting to not cover up hair. This place seems like it could be so much better and the atmosphere could be a fun one to be in, but they aren't putting enough attention to that part of the business.

On the plus side, the pizza is really, really good and the prices aren't really cheap, but they're not bad. 2 small 10" pizza's and 2 drinks togo was $34 for us. They also have gluten free pizza for those that...

I have ordered from this location a lot, I understand they recently had a very large turnover and a lot of staffing issues but prior to that, they were very good and always smiling happy people decently fast service and always great food. I placed a Togo order a few days ago. On the phone they told me the food would be ready in about 30 minutes. I neglected the snow falling and arrived 15 minutes late to pick up my order. When I arrived the person up front had said she would have the food out in just a moment. She then went to the back where I can still hear her, and asked for my food when the cooks asked her what she was talking about. Not sure if she did not put my order in or if they just didn't make it. Rather than coming up to tell me there was a mistake she hid in the back yelling at them to make it faster. They forgot the breadstick with the pasta, and the quality of food was way below the normal. One side of the chicken cesar wrap was good, the other side was all lettuce and no chicken or dressing. Overall I am disappointed in a place that used to be one of my top picks. Unprofessional and sloppy. I would have been happy to wait for my food had she come up and just told me what had happened rather than giving me the quickened version of the order that was...
