Mackenzie River Pizza Co. - Helena

We have dined at this restaurant multiple times, but we’ve finally decided to share our thoughts. The ambiance is delightful, and there are some extra...

A friend recommended this restaurant to us, so we decided to stop by while we were passing through town. Since we were in a bit of a hurry, we placed our orders quickly...

I had a very disappointing experience at this restaurant. The food was bland and lacking flavor, so I won't be coming back. The pretzel breadsticks were the only decent thing on the menu, but the queso dip was a strange mix that just didn't work with the beer cheese. Overall, not a good combination at all.

I always make it a point to visit this place whenever I come back to Montana. I was glad to see it was quite busy, which is usually a good indication of quality. We were seated promptly, and the service was fantastic. I was excited to find Cold Smoke on tap, which complemented the pizzas we ordered perfectly. However, there was a bit of an issue with the nachos this time—they arrived about ten minutes after the pizza and didn’t quite meet the high standards I’ve come to expect from MRP. Nonetheless, it’s still a great place, and I will definitely be coming back.

The atmosphere was enjoyable, and the service was outstanding. I appreciated how quickly they refilled our soda. Overall, the food was quite delicious. My only complaint was that both the pizzas and lodgepoles were very greasy—extremely greasy, in fact. Despite this, they had great flavor. I even had to drain the grease from my two slices of pizza, and there was enough to form a puddle on the plate. The Thai Pie pizza stood out as particularly tasty. I would definitely think about returning.
