There are plenty of spots to find great food throughout the state of Montana. From upscale spots to those with incredible views and the ones that require some driving on backroads, there’s something delicious waiting for every taste bud. One of my favorite things is discovering new spots to eat in both the small towns and larger cities. But, if I had to choose a favorite, I’d go with the small spots that have been a local staple for as long as anyone can remember. This restaurant, which might just have the best pizza in Havre, Montana, is a great example.
Welcome to Nalivka's Original Pizza Kitchen, which just might be the best pizza in Havre, Montana! Of course, that's a small town so how good could it be? We think it might even be a contender for best in the state!
However, the food is anything but simple. For over 60 years, Nalivka's has been making authentic pizza with homemade dough and sauce, along with the freshest ingredients.
Each pizza is perfectly cooked and options for toppings include the traditional as well as more unique toppings. Try the "Mess Up," which is the result of a misread order that actually turned out great. It comes with pepperoni, beef, cheddar cheese, salt, pepper, and Jalapeño peppers.
Each week they also serve a special entree. You can't go wrong with the traditional spaghetti with meat sauce. And the garlic bread it's served with makes it extra special.
They also have some unexpected options like the chicken teriyaki which comes with sliced chicken breast in their homemade teriyaki sauce. It's served over linguini with snow peas and finished with toasted sesame seeds and sliced green onions.
Best of all, the location of Nalivka's Original Pizza Kitchen makes it perfect for taking on the Amtrak Empire Builder, which can be picked up right in town.
Nalivka’s Original Pizza Kitchen is open all year at various times throughout the week. For more information on when to visit and what to order, be sure to visit the Nalivka’s Original Pizza Kitchen website. You can also follow Nalivka’s on Facebook. They can be reached at 406-265-4050.
After enjoying the best pizza in Havre, Montana, be sure to take a trip around town to see the many historic buildings in Havre. And, if the promise of great pizza and history has you ready to plan a trip, we recommend booking a vacation rental for a long weekend.
