We have been traveling through Glacier National Park all day. Once we got to the hotel we didn't want to get back on a bus to go downtown. So we ordered from MacKenzie River Pizza Co, Whitefish, Montana. They delivered to our hotel! We ordered the garlic bread ( lodge poles) They were absolutely delicious! Really cheesy!! We also ordered drinks and a good ol'boy pizza. It was delicious and loaded with pepperoni. We had a great meal and got to relax a bit at the hotel. read more

I went in for dinner around 5PM on a Sunday. There was a wait about 15-20minutes. The host and server were super friendly. I was looking for something casual, and this was the place. It definitely had that 'casual night out' vibe. The issue wasn't with the service or the mood, but the food. They were super busy, and I think the dinner rush came earlier than expected, or they're just understaffed. You could tell because the tables weren't being cleaned right away. Our appetizer was fried brussel sprouts. Now when people think of fried brussel sprouts, the taste is pretty standard across the various palettes. Crispy exterior, buttery soft and chewy interior with bits of saltiness and savoriness spread out in between. Ours came out crunchy. Not burnt to a crisp crunchy. Raw crunchy. And smothered in so much sauce that it wasn't just saltiness, it was plain salty. No one wants raw Brussels sprouts for their appetizer. No one. It was obvious that they rushed it, instead of baking it at a high temp for a long time, they baked it at super high for a short time. read more

We did takeout got a few pizzas to share, I like the variety of options they have for toppings and flavors. Overall, pizza was good but sort of in a generic way. We ordered a tomato basil pizza and there was no basil, just tomatoes. If you want simple pizza, I find nothing wrong with this place! Good and satisfying. But we were a little annoyed there was no basil haha. read more

I've tried Mackenzie River in Bozeman and the whitefish location is just as amazing! The tomato basil pizza has quickly become one of my favorite pizzas ever. My friends and I got takeout and had a little pizza picnic by whitefish beach and we all loved the pizza. It's always made with care and so delicious! read more

The service was excellent, the inside is nice, clean and thematic for the area. The food was not bad. Cowboy nachos were maybe the best we've had. Pizza was good, wings were good. Not close to the beat in the world, but likely the best in this area amongst like competitors. read more

Truly the worst restaurant experience. Ordered food, after 45 minutes our server brought over completely wrong food. After an additional 10 minutes we called server over to ask about our food and all he could say is "well the order is in". Why wonder the place was empty. Will never return. read more

Sit down restaurants are really struggling, and experiences like at MacKenzie are why. Food is good, or may be good, but the overall experience can be so frustrating. We went there 3 times in one week while on vacation--only because they had a gluten free menu. First experience--despite being only half full--was an hour wait for 2 of our 3 meals, and yet more delay for the third. Of the 2 that arrived, fries were cold. We asked to remake, which then came only after we ate, plus they weren't seasoned--not even salt. Second visit was great. Third visit--it is as if they have no coordination between the chefs each night. The recipes were simply so different as to not be recognizable. read more

Was not impressed with the pizza but the lodgepole app was good. My kid did not like the pasta at all. Good beer menu. Pretty good service. Won't go back. read more

One of the few places that we could walk into without needing a reservation or waiting a long time (it's large inside). Food was ok, but not amazing. Service was very friendly and nice, and it was pretty relaxed inside. read more

I don't get the three star average this place has. The Cobb salad at $12 the best Cobb salad I've had in recent memory at nearly half the price it would be at CPK or many other places. The pizza was pretty good. On a scale of 1 to 10 it was an 8. Total bill for both dishes was $40 and we took half the pizza home with us. Took a while to get seared but once we were at a table everything went smoothly. I'd definitely return. read more

We went yesterday at 5:30, before the rush. Sat down immediately. Fisher was our server, and he was delightful. Appetizer of pretzel sticks were yummy, and all 4 of us ordered personal pizzas. All were made correctly and were delicious! Would definitely recommend this restaurant if in town. Not sure why the negative reviews?? read more

Nicest looking place in the whole town, the food was pretty good and the service was excellent. There was no chicken in the Alfredo but they took it off the bill which was nice. Could possibly improve on the quality of the fries and some of the food. Overall good place considering the surrounding places. 4.5 stars read more

I don't do a lot of reviews but taking this is my first time ever in Montana and this was the first place we stopped in for food. I was highly surprised with the food! The artichoke dip, Thai chicken salad and the flatbread pear and blue. Amazing! Best Thai salad I've ever had! Want to know the recipe and what kind of dressing! read more

I never leave a bad review but this was just awful. Pizza was terrible and cold. Server was an idiot. Actually all the employees were total morons. I understand that it's hard to find good help these days but this was crazy. I wish l could have my night back. read more

We had an excellent experience at MacKenzie River Pizza. Both our kids have dairy allergies, (1 is celiac & 1 has a gluten allergy)... our server (Maddie) was absolutely excellent! She was friendly, professional, attentive & took extra precautions (checking ingredients & speaking with the kitchen) to be sure our girls were safe! She gets 10 stars from us! Our kids LOVED their dinner & did not have any reactions! My husband, his sister & I (none of which have food allergies or limitations) all also thoroughly enjoyed our dinner! We will definitely return next time we're in Whitefish! read more

Awesome place. Our waiter, Fisher, was extremely helpful and catered to our every need. Food was excellent! read more

Definitely an underrated restaurant. The pizza was pretty good, Cobb salad very good, and service was excellent. That joined with a fantastic price value and I would highly recommend this place to anyone! read more

I don't understand the negative reviews. We had a beet salad and a small MacKenzie River Pizza. The salad could have had a few more beets. The arugula was a nice touch. Our server, Johnny, recommended we have the original crust as opposed to the thin crust. He was right. It was excellent. Appreciate the use of fresh vegetables. Johnny was helpful and friendly. He pointed out things we could do in Whitefish. For me the music was a little loud, but so be it. I liked the decor. If you are in Whitefish, looking for pizza, this is the place! read more

The food here was absolutely horrible. Ordered take out of many different dishes and not a single one was good. The salads were wilted and old and the pizza crusts were burnt. Also they missed items in the order! Definitely not coming back. read more

Got takeout and delivery for something new while on vacation. Wings- texture and flavor were pretty good. Not enough sauce at all. Felt like parts were burned? Salad was great. Restaurant shorted us our drink and didn't close the bag for delivery service. Seem to have some great menu items. Maybe was a fluke but had to deduct a star for above reasons. read more

Decent pizza. The toppings are fresh. If you're ordering on a Friday night, plan ahead because everyone else has the same idea. We ordered early enough so the wait was not terrible. read more

Extremely long wait, two hours, just for food. Too long for a family!! The Huckleberry dessert are amazing. They do not have air conditioning so at 90 degree outside the restaurant was tremdously hot and lots of noise because of extra long two hour food wait. Kids were loosing it (sad). Our server, Carolyn, knows her job! Very helpful with the menu. read more

We did an online pickup order for our last night of a week-long ski trip. We arrived to pick up our 3 pizzas when we were told and they hadn't even been started yet. The place was really busy in the kitchen, not so much in the dining room. We had to wait almost 30 minutes past the scheduled pick up time as did the 3 people ahead of us. The food was okay, not as good as hyped up to be. We may try again next time we are in the area but with so many food choices, there are probably better options. read more

Came in with our group of 18...took longer than expected to get seated considering there were open booths but it's fine...the pizza made up for it!! Service was really good too! John (I think that's his name) made sure we were taken care of after the long wait, checked on us, gave us whatever we needed! Pizza was great...crust was good...just the right thickness! Pizzas we ordered in pics! I love that they let you choose two pizzas on one pie - half of one and half of another! read more

Mackenzie is always a solid choice for pizza. Might not be the best around, but still great pizza. We went here with a large party and they took great care of us. It was clear they were a little overwhelmed, but handled it well. We got a few different pies and they were all fresh and tasty. Worth a visit for sure. Not all locations are good, but this one is great. In downtown Whitefish, so easy enough to get to. read more

**Update 3/22/23: As you can see from managements' tone deaf response there is still no accountability. MRP- all orders were placed through the restaurant's website, every time. (See photo). If Whitefish cannot guarantee timely DELIVERY, they shouldn't offer it. But thank you for showing the true apathy of this company and your sentiment that once again, this is the customers' problem and not your staffs' ongoing ineptitude. You did my job for me.** We've given this restaurant endless opportunities to make things right with our family, but at the end of the day the Whitefish location continues to provide poor quality food and can never get our orders right. We don't understand how difficult it is to follow directions provided from their own website. We place our orders with RANCH every time, and they send marinara. We've actually picked up the phone after placing an online order and said, please ensure it's ranch. Marinara still arrives. Not sure if it's incompetence or plain spite. The food is incredibly inconsistent. You never get the same quality. The food is either over cooked, missing ingredients, has no flavor, or something tastes off. The off orders are usually associated with significant GI issues the next day. The biggest issue with this location however is the delivery service. They push the orders out to Door Dash, but only AFTER the order is done cooking and ready to be picked up. If that order gets pushed to a driver in Kalispell, you're waiting an additional 25-30 minutes for food that is now sitting in a warming oven. Quality goes way down, food becomes stale and inedible, and is cold by the time it's delivered. We have had endless conversations with management about how to better manage Door Dash - like using COMMON SENSE and pushing the pick up to the driver before the food is done cooking, wrapped up and sitting in a warming over for 20 minutes. Instead they blame Door Dash for sending drivers from Kalispell. Door Dash blames the restaurant for not managing their systems better. These are grown adults running businesses. The customers lose - and now we are warning anyone reading this because neither are taking it seriously since we've brought it to their attention last September. You could either receive horrible food quality, food poisoning, and/or a cold order 20-30 minutes later than the original window due to Door Dash. We decided to report this to Flathead County health department. It's unfortunate but there needs to be accountability here because it's lost on both parties. Proceed with caution. read more

Came here during vacation, was really good. If you're in the Whitefish area and want some good pizza, this is the place to go. Their cheese sticks were delicious as well. Made it a great combo with the pizza. Didn't have to wait long and the servers were kind and considerate. Wish I could remember their names to give a proper shout out. read more

The food was ok. The wait for the food took forever! Our waitress was nice. BUT! After I don't think I have ever felt worse eating food. My entire group feels like they are about to throw up! DO NO GO HERE! read more

The food was fantastic! We each got the lunch special, and we should have split it. Our waitress was super friendly. Overall, great lunch great experience! read more

The pizza was but nothing to jump up and down about. The pizza souse had the right amount of oregano and the thin crust had the right consistency. We visited the Kalispell location (pub) and I have to say the service was so much better even when they were busy. The location downtown gives the place a major opportunity, and sadly it might be one that is missed. ...... side note, at arrival the hostess had to ask the server if it was OK to seat a table for 2.. take into account that there was 5 open tables and all other restaurants had a line. I guess another missed opportunity. read more

What can I say about MacKenzie River? What an amazing and random find on Yelp. Even after reading the reviews my colleague and I decided to go and found it to be nothing short of great. We got there a little after 2pm, so after the lunch crowd and found the restaurant pretty much empty. The waitress greeted us and sat us down and then we were greeted by one of the managers who just made us feel at home. It was a super relaxing atmosphere and we just took our time with the menu and deciding on what we wanted for lunch. We both went with their $10 lunch special. We both got their spinach salad with a mix of their vinaigrette and ranch based dressing. Everything was so delicious! The spinach was super fresh and both dressing were just amazing! They actually sell both of them and I see why! I ordered their small Pepperoni pizza as my entree. I got the thin crust, which was just so good and again fresh! The price was just right and I got to take home tons of leftovers! Definitely would recommend this spot for a relaxing atmosphere with delicious food! read more

Nachos were dry, guacamole was brown, salad was a big bowl of lettuce 2 1/2 tiny bits of chicken . Would not recommend

Our family group recently dined here and the food was good but we wee not impressed with the service. First we waited about one hour to be seated. We were told they were short handed though we saw 3 servers and 4 people working in the kitchen and the restaurant was not close to being full. Kristen was our server and she kept apologizing for being short staffed. We were patient but she made many errors such as forgetting to bring certain items such as dressing and drinks. We split the ticket and she mixed up who ordered what items. read more

Pretty decent Pizza. I have to give this place something better than three-stars, because my wife and I are repeat customers, so obviously, MacKenzie River Pizza Co. is doing something right. We have vacationed in Whitefish twice now in the past year, and both times, when we just wanted to hang out in our hotel room and chill for the evening, MacKenzie River provided the take-out pizza nourishment we needed to make our "stay-in" evening plans come true. Last night, we got a thin-crust "Sequoia" pizza with chicken, and a large Ceasar salad. This signature pizza has fresh pesto, sun-dried tomatoes, artichoke hearts, toasted pine nuts and mozzarella. Adding the chicken gives it some protein. They really do the thin-crust good, as it is almost crispy, which I love. The salad is pretty typical, but a welcome thing to eat after vacation dieting and eating travel food for several days. So if you find yourself in Whitefish and are wanting some pizza, I'd recommend MacKenzie River. read more

If you want great pizza deff go here. Just don't except good service. We came in tonight for dinner. We were sat quickly, however, when we sat in the booth there was glass all over the left side of the booth. Our three year old grabbed it thinking it was "sparkles" to show us and ended up cutting her nose and started bleeding all over. We weren't upset she picked up glass, she didn't know and it wasn't the servers fault she picked it up. We were more surprised the server never said sorry, didn't call a manager over or ask if he could do anything. We had to ask for a bandage and he grabbed one then without a word took our order. Our food was great but we had to get our own utensils while 5 hostess and servers sat at the booth right by ours and watched me as a waited then finally grabbed our own forks. Our server never came by and asked how our food was, if we wanted something else or if we needed boxes. We had to ask for a box, more beer and the check. Total bummer from a service perspective but food was great!! read more
