Dinner at Mackenzie River Pizza Co in Kalispell, MT

My husband, getting ready to grub on a slice of his Fresh Tomato Basil pizza from Mackenzie River Pizza Co. 

One night for dinner during out trip to MT, we took my parents out for dinner in Kalispell at Mackenzie River Pizza Co. They have three locations in the Flathead Valley and thirteen total in the state. We dined at their North Kalispell one. I'd eaten at Mackenzie River a couple of times years ago when I still lived in MT. But I wanted to go check it out again, and do a post. I couldn't remember how the pizza tasted or what type they serve. Their menu has lots of variety as far as apps, unique cocktails, salads, and pizza, pasta, sandwiches, and burgers.

I really liked the interior of the restaurant. I thought the rustic Montana vibe was fun. The drinks sounded really good so I chose a Glacier Sunset. It had Malibu Caribbean rum, pineapple juice, orange juice, and grenadine. The cocktail was bright and pretty and went down easily. My husband chose the Smoked Old Fashioned. It had Buffalo Trace Bourbon, brown sugar simple syrup, peach bitters, and cherry wood smoke. His drink was fun because it arrived to our table with an empty glass with ice and a bottle filled with the drink mixture and the smoke. Then he poured his cocktail tableside for a unique and smoky experience.

We shared a small Greek Salad and we each ordered a small pizza. I chose the Good Ol' Boy which is their pepperoni pizza. You can select either thin crust or regular crust and I chose thin. My husband's pizza of choice was the Fresh Tomato Basil. The serving of pepperoni on mine was generous, which I love.

My parents shared a large pizza, with half Sequoia and half Rancher. The Sequoia had fresh pesto, sun-dried tomatoes, artichoke hearts, toasted pine nuts, and mozzarella cheese. The Rancher had tomato sauce, ground beef, pepperoni, bacon, tomatoes, red onions, green peppers, and mozzarella cheese. They also have a kid's menu so one son chose the mini corn dogs and my other son picked the Mac and Cheese.

The quality of the food and drinks were great and the interior was really fun with a MT style. Everyone enjoyed their eats and I'm happy we checked out Mackenzie River Pizza again!
