Mackenzie River Pizza Co. - WHITEFISH

Mackenzie is always a reliable option for pizza. It may not be the absolute best in the area, but it still serves delicious pizza. We dined here with a large group, and they made sure we were well taken care of...

This place had really raised our expectations. My girlfriend and I are big fans of the Kalispell location, so we decided to give the Whitefish location a shot since...

I gave it a try, but I won’t be returning. The food wasn’t homemade, it was served lukewarm, and it just didn’t taste good. The restaurant was nearly empty, yet we still had to wait a long time to place our order.

I visited the restaurant for pizza, mac and cheese, and salad. The food was enjoyable overall, though the pizza dough was a bit lacking. The toppings were tasty, and the pasta was great too. The staff were friendly and even offered a discount on the bill due to our concerns about the pizza. It made for a nice meal before our flight to Montana.

Our server was rude and didn't even write down some of our drink orders, forgetting to bring several items we had requested. She asked if we needed refills only once, without waiting for someone to respond before she rushed off. She hurried through the orders so quickly that she missed details, requiring me to repeat myself to clarify what we had actually ordered. Having been a server myself, I completely understand how hectic it can get, but you still need to check in with customers periodically and remain polite, even under pressure. We were respectful and friendly, and despite the poor service, we even left a generous tip. There were other issues, but I'll leave it at that. Overall, great food and a charming atmosphere.
