Mackenzie River Pizza Company boasts exclusive menu items that are always flavorful and fresh, and served up in heaping portions. Treating your customers to MacKenzie River means treating them to gooey, cheesy Lodgepoles™, a pile of cowboy nachos, and sizeable-sensational-salads. It means feasting on one of a kind sandwiches, hearty chicken chili and mouthwatering microbrews. And of course, you can expect to eat pizza that is both delectable and distinctive. MacKenzie River Pizza Company food is everything they crave - plus much more.
The first MacKenzie River Pizza Company opened in 1993 in downtown Bozeman when Montana had yet to experience truly gourmet pizza. Many looked at us sideways with our wild ideas of basil pesto, sliced almonds and Mandarin oranges as pizza toppings. We even put pears on our salads and who'd ever heard of that?!!
But our guests caught on quickly, calming down to take note of our excellent pepperoni, Italian sausage, bell pepper and mushroom toppings as well, and it wasn't long before all of Montana came to love and trust our distinctive flavors, famous sourdough and Italian thin crusts, big salads and unique sandwiches, all served amidst authentic Montana decor by an always-friendly staff.
Opportunity knocks for you
Mackenzie River Pizza Company is an appealing concept with plenty of potential for growth for savvy restaurant owners. It also just happens to be fun to operate. The MRPCo. concept has a broad appeal: from kids who come in with their parents, to senior citizens and everyone in between, guests can always find something to love.
Multiple day-parts (lunch and dinner, seven days a week), multiple potential revenue streams (food and beverages, including wine and beer, take-out and dine-in, even branded retail items), plus single and multiple unit ownership options all mean one thing: ample opportunity for franchise owners.
