Papa Murphy's | Take 'N' Bake Pizza

Score
2815 10th Ave S, Great Falls, MT 59405, USA

At the Great Falls Papa Murphy's, Reiya crafted a notable Cowboy pizza, enhanced by a garlic sauce that a long-term patron found superior to previous experiences. This particular location has ceased accepting national coupons, a policy communicated by an owner described as rude.

Ingredients, prepared for home assembly and baking, arrive in a ready state. The expectation of self-preparation is a factor for some patrons when considering the cost.

Despite a twenty-year history with the establishment for some, a recent interaction regarding coupon acceptance soured the customer's sentiment, leading to a loss of patronage to competitors.

MacKenzie River Pizza Co.

500 River Dr S, Great Falls, MT 59405, USA

MacKenzie River Pizza Co. offers a menu that ventures beyond standard offerings. The elk sausage pizza provides an unexpected, savory profile, a notable departure from typical toppings. The establishment's outdoor seating area overlooks the river, an amenity enhanced by ambient torchlight.

Service can be inconsistent. While some staff members are attentive and engaging, others have been observed to be dismissive. This variability impacts the overall dining experience, particularly during busy periods.

The pizzas themselves are a point of distinction. The Rancher pizza, for instance, features a notable smokiness from its meats and a distinctive dough. This pizza, along with others featuring unique flavor combinations, stands out as a primary draw.

Howard's Pizza

Score
4300 3rd Ave S, Great Falls, MT 59405, USA

The pizza at Howard's emerges with a crust that is both tender and firm, a solid foundation for toppings. Cheese distribution proved inconsistent on one occasion, leaving portions of the pie exposed, and a recent order arrived with a noticeably overcooked base, compromising the overall flavor.

Service has been described as efficient, with pizzas arriving at the table with notable speed. Staff interactions have been direct, though one diner noted an overpowering body odor emanating from an employee involved in order taking, an unpleasant sensory experience for a food establishment.

The surrounding landscape at 4300 3rd Ave S could benefit from attention. Overgrown weeds in the rear lot present an unappealing visual, a detail detracting from the otherwise focused atmosphere that some patrons find conducive to quiet conversation.

107 5th St N, Great Falls, MT 59401, USA

The Parma Oil Based pizza presents a crisp crust, topped with prosciutto and a judicious amount of arugula. The complimentary spinach dip, served warm with baked bread, offers a savory introduction.

Service proved attentive, with a waiter named Gio noted for his consistent check-ins and making the lunch experience notable. A well-chosen wine selection accompanies the menu.

The Honey Badger pizza, a house favorite, stands out for its balance, while the Caesar salad, available with anchovies, complements the offering. The brownie dessert is a substantial conclusion.

1520 3rd St NW, Great Falls, MT 59404, USA

The cheese pizza presented a uniformly melted topping, its crust achieving a crisp exterior without char. Pepperoni pies, when prepared with attention, arrive seasoned and cooked with a smooth distribution of ingredients.

Service varied. On one Saturday afternoon, orders were handled efficiently with a notable absence of patron interaction upon entry. A different visit saw customers waiting for extended periods before receiving attention, or their orders, from a single employee managing multiple tasks.

The execution of online orders occasionally faltered. A stuffed crust pizza was prepared incorrectly, and the requested buttery garlic sauce was unavailable, with no alternative offered for a delivery order.
