MacKenzie River Pizza, Grill & Pub

Cool decor. Very clean newer restaurant and bar. Best Pizza in Spokane by a mile. Had the large Combo and had delicious leftovers to take home... fed 4 people. Drove 40 minutes to get there and it was worth it! Pizza allowed through TSA!

Absolutely fantastic! This was our first time but definitely will not be put last. Wow the food is good! We got two pizzas, their "Good Ol' Boy" and "Hot Hawaiian." ???????????? Haven't had pizza that good in a long time. Their crust tasted homemade, too! And we also got a salad, their Cobb Salad, which was fresh and delicious! We can't wait to go back again! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

It was just okay. Had a couple experiences that reminded me of watching kitchen nightmares. I mean when you come in on a Saturday for lunch and there’s only two other tables at noon, I should have prepared for a lackluster experience. I’ll start with the worst: the bathroom smelled like a horrid mix of cleaners and urine, and the bathroom floor was sticky. It needs better ventilation and someone who is actually willing to properly clean it. The interior is weird, and carpet in a restaurant is just so gross. Could be worse, just dated. But god, the bathroom was so bad. Just set a terrible tone for my dining experience since I like to go wash my hands before I eat. It’s the only reason I’m giving it a 3 instead of 4. The menu is huge. No way they can keep all those different things fresh and go through them all in a timely manner. I noticed a decent amount of toppings for pizza were things you don’t need to keep fresh - cured meats, nuts, sauces, etc. The caesar salad was pretty good. No blemishes on the lettuce or anything, which I find rare for places here in Spokane. Threw me off guard, if you consider my last point. Not crazy quality either, the parmesan is obviously some prepackaged stuff. I wad kinda sad about the pizza. Didn’t seem like it had a fresh crust at all, and was definitely not homemade based on the marks i saw in the dough. It was kinda cold when it came out. I think making all your own dough should be the bare minimum for a pizza restaurant. It was allegedly the “original” crust. If they were out, then I can understand the choice here. I was still bummed, because my pizza doesn’t look anything like the other pictures I see in these reviews. So, gotta give some benefit of the doubt here, and might come back to try the actual crust one day. If you’re looking for an exciting and delicious pizza, this isn’t it. It’s impeccably average, suited for the average family.

We absolutely love MacKenzie River! Every location we've visited has always had quality food, good customer service, & a great atmosphere! The food selection is incredible & the pizza is ALWAYS top-notch. We love this place.

We recently went to McKenzie River Pizza and Grill for dinner. We used to go to the one on the north side, but it's been closed for a few years...we've missed it! We went on a Friday evening- it was moderately busy. Our family loves the atmosphere here: nice large booths, rustic furniture and decor, large canvases of nature and real tree branches up towards the ceiling. Family friendly ? We were greeted upon entering and seated immediately. Our server brought cold water, silverware, drinks and appetizers and asked if we had any questions about the menu. We ordered poutine fries and lodgepoles (cheesy breadsticks) for appetizers. The poutine fries were delicious with plenty of cheese curds and brown gravy. The lodge poles were a little dry and flat but tasted ok otherwise. Our dinners arrived afterwards: I had a willow creek sandwich which has turkey, mozzarella, bacon, avocado, spinach and tomato on ciabatta bread...the sandwich is always really yummy but the bread had a lot of flour on it this time. Their fries have a bit of coating on them and they're crispy and delicious. I also had a small bowl of the soup of the day, corn chowder, and it was really so good! My husband had a smokehouse burger and was not disappointed. It has a 1/2 lb patty, bacon, gouda cheese and pulled pork on top. He ate it all along with a generous portion of fries. Our daughter enjoyed a fresh tomato basil pizza with some left for lunch the next day. Needless to say, we were too full to eat dessert. Service was good and our server was friendly and professional. We will definitely come back here again and highly recommend it. Btw, there were numerous takeout and delivery orders while we were there, so many others were enjoying the food from McKenzie's in their homes ????
