MacKenzie River Pizza Co.

Great spot and only a few minutes from the airport. Our server wasn’t the best. We ordered basic non- alcoholic drinks and we ended up having to place another order for our drinks again from the bartender after waiting for over 20 minutes. If you have time to spare I recommend this spot. The pizza is gf, delicious and plentiful. Great crust and flavorful. Don’t go if you are in a time crunch!

Super busy place especially for a Thursday night. Staff was friendly even though they were busy. Ordered food for carry out due to the wait for a table. They were able to get me in and out in under thirty minutes from the time I ordered my food. They had a really good sized gluten free menu as well with everything from appetizers to main courses of pasta and pizza along with a flour less dessert. Only downside was they did not have the gluten free menu online. I added it as a picture for this review.

We have had a consistently good experience at all MacKenzie River chains and this location was no different. Wait wasn’t bad for a Friday night. We are a totally gluten free family with celiac kids and the gluten free pizza options never disappoint. Large gluten free menu with more options than just pizza. Staff was knowledgeable. No issues after eating.

McKenzie River has a separate gluten-free menu. I ordered a salad and gluten-free personal pizza from the menu. A few hours afterward I could feel the effects of gluten, just enough that I believe there was some cross-contamination. This just adds to me belief that pizza places are just too dangerous for Celiacs; with so much flour in pizza places, cross contamination is very likely. It may be okay for folks with just gluten sensitivity but not for celiacs.

Very knowledgeable and wide selection. Separate gluten free menu available. I feel confident to let my daughters with celiac disease eat here. Thank you Mackenzie River!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Cross contamination is pretty much guaranteed.

Celiac friendly?

No

Celiac friendly?

I have a dairy allergy too, so I ordered the Tuscan Penne. It was delicious! They were very careful about making it safe for me. The only reason I’m giving this four stars is because the server warned me that the pizzas and flatbread are right by other glutenized items in the oven, so there’s plenty of risk for cross-contamination. She said the pasta is about the safest option because it’s prepared in its own area and handled only by one person. But they were very careful and accommodating. Great place!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

We had great luck here! Ordered GF pizza. Delish!

Celiac friendly?

Ate here one the way through town a week ago. The pizza was fantastic and I felt very safe. The flourless Choc cake was delicious.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

They had a separate gluten free menu. I ordered the Hot Hawaiian Pizza & it was absolutely delicious! I didn’t have any issues & I have celiac. I will definitely be back!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

My kids have celiac and they really enjoyed it. One had the Apple Chicken Flatbread and the other two had pizza. The server and cooks knew about celiac which gave us more confidence. Kids said it was fantastic, and the one that ate the flatbread is normally a very picky eater. They finished with the gluten free chocolate cake. Highly recommend.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Had a very good lunch here on our way through town. Had a separate GF menu, and my 9 year old liked the pizza.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Probably the best GF pizza in town! Lots of menu options and even Flourless chocolate cake. Great drink selection and knowledgeable staff.

Lots of gluten free options including dessert! Fun atmosphere and friendly, knowledgeable staff. Had the Apple Chicken flatbread, Tuscan penne pasta and flourless chocolate cake. Everything was delicious and will definitely be back.

Knowledgeable staff and great food. My daughter said it was the best GF pizza she has had in a long time.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Called ahead, was assured the order was entered in as an "allergy" and that cook changes apron/clothing to avoid contamination. I had the California chicken flatbread with the gluten free pizza crust and it was amazing. Highly recommend.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Very knowledgeable and careful! And delicious. One of the best pizzas ever

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Gluten free menu with a good number of options. GF pizza was pretty good.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Awesome pizza and no reactions

Delicious pizza with so many options. They even have a gluten free beer and flourless chocolate cake!

This place has amazing food. I’ve eaten here 2 times so far and will continue to go back. They have lots of gf options to choose from. The first time I had a pasta dish and their flourless chocolate cake. This time I had a Hawaiian pizza. All food has been amazing and I’ve never been sick. I’ve always let them know it’s an allergy and they are very good at letting the kitchen know.

Went here, asked for a gluten free menu. I was pretty impressed at the size of the menu offerings. I ordered the pesto shrimp pasta and made sure to explain that I needed gluten free. The pasta was almost too good to be true, had the taste and consistency of normal pasta. I even had my husband try it, which brought us to the decision that I should not continue eating it. I had around 1/4 of the dish at that point. I did end up getting sick and having a flare up after eating here. Going out to eat is a rare occasion, as it is usually just easier to make my own food, so I was disappointed in the experience.

Separate gluten free menu was clearly marked, including how to modify items to be gluten free, such as ordering without the dressings or candied walnuts. I ordered the fiesta bowl and it was delicious. They have a lot of non-pizza items like salads and bowls if you are very concerned about cross-contamination.
