Forgot to take pictures but we're here from the Chicago area visiting family & ordered the rancher pizza, chicken quesadillas & nachos and we were impressed! Everything was super tasty!! read more

Absolutely love this place! I have a large family and they are able to accommodate us in seating and food options. I always look forward to going here when I visit. On my last visit, we had a group of 30! They saw us in the bar area with plenty of space. We had two waiters who were very kind and quick. I got the baked chicken Alfredo. I thought it tasted delicious! It was hot in temperature in the flavors were great! I thought it was a great take on a classic dish. I can't wait to go back and reminisce in the memories of this wonderful restaurant with my family. read more

Last night we took my brother and his daughter out for pizza. We chose this locally owned establishment, cause it had great reviews. Our server had great attention to detail and was patient with our niece who almost 2. Provided coloring sheets with crayons and a little box of goldfish. It was extremely clean inside and well lit! I also liked that they had live plants inside. All of our food came out exactly how the menu had explained it and was very hot! Great job, MacKenzie River!! We will be back!! read more

Ordered 2 salads and 1 small pizza at 11:06am. Was quoted that it would be ready at 11:32am, was not ready until 11:51am. Stopped ordering food from the Billings Westend location 6-8 months ago and thought I would try it again. Also made me late despite my early planning. Won't be back. read more

Amari was amazing...excellent service! Very attentive and very kid friendly (she anticipated needs before we had issues!! Pizza was delicious, food was reasonably priced! All in all, it was a great experience! We will definitely be back! read more

Three of us stepped into Mackenzie River Pizza around 7:00 this evening to celebrate a family member's birthday. The young server was pleasant enough but that's where it ends. For starters, the lodgepole appetizers were not baked long enough. Hence, they were doughy, overly salted and greased with cheese of an indecipherable 'flavor.' The fiesta bowl I ordered was inedible. The flank steak was so dry and tough that I didn't regret the fact that there were only four shoe-string sizes of the beef layed out in the bowl. Also, something about Jasmine rice in a Mexican dish just isn't a good fit... Additionally, cold black beans, corn, queso, a slice of avocado and 4 jalapenos didn't do a thing for this entre. I had to ask for the chili lime salsa, which I need not have bothered with. Another member of our party ordered the Hawaiian pizza, the crust of which was tasty but we had a heck of a time trying to locate the pineapple pieces on the pizza itself. A mere 3 pointer... The third member of our party ordered flat bread specialties. Ho hum. Ho Ho hum. Finally, the waiter never did refill the water glasses - a small thing perhaps, but each of us could have used the water to wash down what we were attempting to swallow. Two beers, Lodge poles, a fiesta bowl, a pineapple pizza and some flatbread pizza slices cost us about $100.00. none of us ever regrets paying good money for good food, but this evening's meal was not the latter. Too damn far from it. I have no plans to return to Mackenzie River Pizza. Simply put, the meal we had looked forward to was a bust. A huge and surprising disappointment! read more

Menu doesn't match menu in restaurant. Which sucks. The half pizzas don't happen there anymore, which menu says it does. Disappointed with that. read more

Came here with my Montana family for a party of 5. I didn't really have a taste for pizza so I ordered their Cajun bowl (without the shrimp). The bowl included jasmine rice, grilled chicken, Italian sausage, peppers which made it a little spicy . But what can I say we all need a lil spice in our lives every now and then . read more

I ordered two take and bake pizzas. They were horrible. I have eaten there many times before and everything was good. But they need to do something with that crust. It don't bake well and it was a grease put. read more

I am not one to leave bad reviews. I've worked in restaurants, I can understand an off night once in a while. But this was a pretty dismal meal. Just picked up my first order with this location. The large house salad I ordered was pathetically small and had a single carrot, with one or two grape nuts and a lot of lettuce that had gone bad. The kids pizzas came with sides, which were dried up carrots and wrinkled celery, and three chunks of slimy melon. The pizza was fine, but the boxes were covered in greasy fingerprints. I've been eating at Mackenzie River for years in other towns, but will not be returning to this location. read more

Overall a great experience. Our server was on top of it. Pizzas were delicious. Hubby ordered a large clam chowder. It lacked clams but consistency was there and the serving was good. My favorite was the Mackenzie River pizza in original crust. read more

This place has gone so far downhill. Used to be our go to neighborhood joint. Used to have great servers especially on the pub side, and good food. Now we go in and the pub is deserted. Wait for 20 min for anyone to speak to or acknowledge us. I get it that help is hard to find, but even when we went in for a couple of beers - takes 20 min to get those. Seems like a lot of people at the computers, but not many checking in on customers. Just weird. And sad. Can't recommend. read more

The prior reviews on the facility are not really accurate on regards to quality flavor service and overall experience. I ordered a buffalo chili and the good old boy pepperoni pizza. The chili was filling flavorful and the perfect portion. The pizza was the star of the show, the thin crust and the pepperonis made for a wonderful meal. The crust was crispy but not burnt the pepperoni was excellent. I would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone visiting Billings Montana. read more

Hi Erica T, For me to email you, you have to give it to me. Thank you for your prompt attention to this, Bill PS. Please check my other reviews and note how assiduously I write to acknowledge good performances. I have finally grown tired of this franchise's consistently disinvested performance. read more

Love the pizzas but not the service. I always want to eat their pizza but it seems to end up an ordeal just to get it. Always a loooong wait. Would love this to be addressed and it would become one of my favorite places to eat in Billings!! read more

I wish I knew what happened to this restaurant. This has been our go-to spot for decades. Our family restaurant with a ton of memories since we live so close. Must be poor ownership or lousy management. Dirty, slow, doesn't open on the hours stated, inconsistentfood.... you name it. We are done trying! read more

Ordered a large pizza thin crust pepperoni and sausage for pickup. Their idea of thin crust is over cooked cracker. Not a lot of topping for a $20+ take out. read more

Went there last night had the meatloaf wrapped in bacon,pretty good,my date had the rueben and fries.I was a bit dissatisfied though,we had been there earlier for takeout and gotten our order wrong,missing sides and wrong order!I was sent a response about it but they did or could not honor it.So much for McKenzie River pizza.wow does every customer receive this kind of experience or just is?!usually businesses get talked about in the community to deter this type of behavior...yes. That was the heights branch!! read more

We walked in on Tuesday evening around 7:30 pm. Around 15 guests, scattered throughout the restaurant. We were greeted promptly, at the "Please wait to be seated" sign, by our server, armed with menus & then seated straight away. The soup of the day was Tomato Basil, which our server described as a "glorified marinara". My wife asked for a sample to taste and she said he was spot on. It tasted like a pasta sauce. Unfortunately, not a very good one. Wife ordered the Mackenzie Cobb Salad with House & Ranch dressings, on the side. This is her "go to" salad here. For this visit, everything in the salad was fresh and plentiful. The chicken was moist & seasoned nicely. I ordered the Taos Salad, for a change of scenery. I sub'd jalapenos for the normally included Pepperoncinis, which are very similar to Banana Peppers (Google it). The salad itself was good. However, I'm not a fan of the Chicken Chili, which was intended to be the jewel of the salad. The chili was too thick, for my liking & tasted mostly like tomato & chili powder. There was also a major lack of the tortilla strips. Texturally, the salad needed more. Our server was very friendly, attentive & accommodating throughout the meal. Our table & seats were clean. 3.3 Star Review read more

Had a fantastic time here! we were desperate for a restaurant near our hotel, and this hit the spot! Great beers and great pizza!!! We had 3 kids with us too, and they enjoyed themselves throughly! A win in my book! read more

Underrated and great unique, seasonal menu! Flatbreads and salads were light and flavorful.

I had their new fiesta protein bowl in Helena and it was amazing. I've went twice to Billings and both times were terrible. The first it was cold and took literally an hour to get. It wasn't busy. The host was busy being a server and the host. I was trying to be patient but after waiting that long and the food was cold it was disappointing. I wanted the bowl so I gave it another try a few months later and it was the saltiest food I've ever ate. I couldn't finish it. The cook must have done something wrong because it was so bad I had to stop. The other people I was with had complaints about their food too. The Reuben sandwich was cold, fries were cold, no refills on drinks, etc. I try and love this place but the Billings west end location makes it really hard to. I have family in Kalispel and they said they've never had any issues. read more

My husband and I had our second date and a MacKenzie River Pizza Co. in Great Falls TEN YEARS ago (yikes)! So, when we returned to Montana, we just had to check out this Billings location. We've been living in Chicago for the past few years, so I feel like we know good pizza, and MacKenzie River did not disappoint! We tried two different pizzas, but the Hot Hawaiian really stood out - yum! We were served quickly - but not too quickly (gotta have time to hang out), and our server and her trainee both did an excellent jobs helping us pick out pizzas from the huge menu and keeping our drinks full. We just purchased a home in the area, and I can't wait to stop in often. See you soon, MacKenzie River! read more

Never had a bad meal here. Service has always been courteous and prompt. Since moving to Texas, it's one if the things we really miss about Montana. All of their pizzas are the best. Haven't found a house salad any better anywhere. read more

We ordered pizza and wings for delivery. Everything was delicious including the gf crust. Great food!

Prefer the heights location in Billings over this one. The Heights just seemed cleaner, and better managed. It has the same Mac Piz feel, just a better version. I don't know. I got the Cottonwood pizza this time and it was kinda underwhelming. Will stick to my favorite, the Flathead. The lunch special pizzas are $3 off a large or $1.50 off a small. I always love the Greek salad. The dressing is so tasty. This time the tomatoes weren't even ripe. That was a bummer. But it won't keep me from returning. I love their beer selection and found a Scottish on tap from the brewery in Sidney that was pretty darn amazing. read more

My family went to this restaurant at exactly 5:18 tonight. It was not busy and it took a little long for any waitress to come and talk to us. We eventually ordered our food, which was 2 small pizzas and a kids pasta. We waited for an extremely long time until eventually our waitress came up to us and told us our order was behind several others and it was going to take a while. At this point, every person that had entered the restaurant around the same time as us were already eating. After waiting until 6:50 (over 90 minutes) we decided to leave. When we talked to the manager he was not in any way apologetic and was a little rude to my wife. He told us "we aren't giving anyone free pizza". We were not looking for a free meal in any way. We just wanted a nice dining experience with our two kids. We were very disappointed with this restaurant and their manager and will never go back. It was unbelievable how disorganized and unprofessional the staff were. We were just one of several groups frustrated with the staff tonight. Never go there if you want to go to a place that carries themselves as professionals. read more

I enjoyed eating in at the Restaurant on Main Street, however had a delivery from the one on Grand today, Everything seemed small, sparse in fact I ended up adding ingredients to the salads & wraps, Now thinking this was a waste of $$. FYI: Fruit cups are sauce to go cup sized, don't bother. read more

Went there due to hearing there poutine fries were amazing. After getting there we ordered them and was later told that was not available anymore even though it was on their menu. With bummed out hopes for the fries. I ended up ordering the Nachos. They were horrible. Hamburger was like rubber and cheese was burned. At this point we paid out bill and left to McDonalds next door. Decide and seat was still the old place I remember. read more

Used to be our favorite but not now. $30 for small cold pizza with hardly any cheese or topping , censer salad with weird lettuce and two iced teas. Poor service on top of it all!! read more

We picked up a rancher pizza tonight, we've had them before in Montana and this was the worst,very little cheese , sauce or toppings! Very disappointing!! read more

Friendly staff and a cozy environment. Ive travelled the country and have yet to find something like it. I'll be back soon! read more

I have to give MacKenzie River Pizza five stars because it is my wife's absolute favorite pizza place. Any mention of the name of this establishment will cause her stomach to rumble and a thick strand of drool to dangle from her lips, St. Bernard-style. The pizzas are substantial, but they are neither Lil' Caesar's greasy gut bombs or Domino's cardboard food substitutes. They have great seasonal specials, as well. We ordered a pizza with huckleberry ricotta and elk sausage - delish! If there is a better pizza in Billings, I have not had it yet. But I would like to, because MacKenzie River is already excellent. read more

Stopped in on Christmas Eve to grab a bite while doing some shopping in Billings. I got a small Humble Pie pizza, and my wife got the Pear & Bleu flatbread. The pizza was decent and very filling, but it didn't blow me away. My wife loved the flatbread, and said she would definitely get it again. The service was fine, and we were able to get in and out fairly quickly. read more

Walked in and it was less than 1/2 full. After being seated, we waited 10 min for our waitress. She finally showed and took our drink order. She came right back with our drinks and took our lunch order of 2 sandwiches and a salad. 45 minutes later, I tracked down our waitress as she never came over since taking our order. She was serving others but we were ignored. I told her we were leaving and wanted to talk to the manager. The manager came out and said how sorry she was and they had new staff on hand, that's why we hadn't gotten our food. I asked why people who came in after us had their food and was eating. I'm sorry was all I got. I even paid for our drinks after I waited in vain for her to offer. Never going back there again and I selected 1 star because there wasn't a negative star. read more

I have been waiting for my order now 30 minutes past when they said it would be ready. I've been told 4 times they are "finishing it up". This is absolutely ridiculous. Don't quote a pickup time 8f you can't have the order done by the time YOU pick. read more

Very nice atmosphere and our waiter did a great job by checking up on us to see how we were doing. No complaints and the food was delicious. read more

Having only visited once, I'm going 3 stars for now and hope future visits can bump up my rating. My first visit here was just A-OK- nothing bad just nothing great or exciting about our meal/experience here. I do like that they have a rewards card/app - sign up to get a free flatbread! We tried their Lodgepoles (aka cheesy breadsticks), and they were good but nothing special. My husband enjoyed his thin crust pizza, and my flatbread was tasty but kind of lacking in the wow factor. Kids' meals were fine and predictable, though they forgot the fruit until we requested it. Service was good but not great, especially when we were ready for our bill. And food was pretty slow. However, food was very reasonably priced and so were the beers! So, all in all, A-OK. It's pretty close to our new home in Billings, so I'm sure we'll be back to try it again. read more

I love Mackenzie River Pizza, except this location. The atmosphere is not like the others. Think suburban strip mall; one step above fast casual. Beer selections? Well, they were out of most locals. Top it all off, they messed up the order. I.e., service was fair at best. Food tasted the same. I'll be back, but definitely not this location. If you like the other Montana locations, you will be disappointed with this one. Still good enough if you need your fix, but this place really needs an overhaul. read more
