Prison Pizza - Deer Lodge

While the quality and service seem to be different every time I (approximately once a month), I think this place is amazing considering that there is a small pizza place in a small Montana city. Those who have high expectations and nitpicky about every little thing will find mistakes. Keep an open mind, be patient and hungry and you will never be disappointed!!

Pizza was very good, and the wait time was short. Lots of good options. Was some construction going on next door so a little noisy, but not their fault.

Delighted with our meal. Thin crust pizza but not crunchy like a cracker. The cheese is beneath the plentiful toppings. The pizza was filling and required a fork until you ate enough to pick up the crust. Prices were reasonable. Salad bar had enough items to choose from and it was fresh. Not a chain restaurant which was a welcome change. They do a bang up job! There is also an espresso counter and candy store (currently undergoing changes).

I’m not sure where to start. I’m so beyond annoyed and disappointed. Buckle up folks and read on. We walked in and there was what appeared to be a small volleyball team there eating thier pizza. Other then that it was empty, so we ASSUMED we would have our pizzas in a timely manner. Look, it’s a small local joint, you get busy, I understand, then say so, when I walk in with 3 boys tell me I’m going to be waiting over an hour. It happens. Give me the option to decide if that is something my family can deal with. We did not expect to have OUR pizzas an hour and a half later. We ended up having to leave to take our (hungry boys to thier Tball game and call us once it was ready (almost an hour and they hadn’t even started it! . A teenage worker felt bad and offered to deliver it to the field, only to deliver the wrong pizzas. I will say she TRIED, she TRIED to make it right. But there was still some sort of miscommunication causing her to bring the wrong pizza, my husband having to leave the game to go get the correct pizza which was now an hour and 20 mins after we ordered. But then to give me a pizza where the toppings aren’t evenly distributed over the pizza is just beyond disappointing. Especially when I paid $45 for a small and large pizza…which I’m okay paying top dollar for a top not gourmet knock my socks off pizza. But…that’s not what I got. Lastly I would expect a manager of sorts apologize for the LONG wait, and the pizza mix up. I would expect if you want repeat service you would attempt to make it right. I’m not expecting anything other then an apology and an explanation. I appreciate the sweet girls out front. They coulddo nothing more then what they did. But management could have done more. There you have it. I won’t be back. Thank you for attending the rant from a mom of hangry Tballers. Side note the concessions at the ball field make a mean cheese burger! Served hot, melty, delicious and on time. My boys say the nachos are legit!

Love the chicken Alfredo! It's just as good as there pizza!
