Shaq Makes Surprise Stop at Montana Pizza Spot
Montana has had plenty of celebrity visits. It happens all the time, or so it seems. Athletes, actors, entrepreneurs, politicians, musicians, authors, and everyone in between love to visit and vacation in Montana.
Who can blame them?
But I'm not sure we've had a larger celebrity than the latest one documented over the weekend.
Welcome Shaq to Montana
Shaquille O'Neal, aka Shaq, aka Diesel, aka the Big Aristotle, aka Shaq Fu, aka Shaq Daddy, showed up at the MacKenzie River joint in Belgrade, Montana, on Friday.
A Shaqtastic afternoon at our Belgrade location a week ago. It's always a little extra fun when someone familiar drops by the river — especially when the whole crew gets to be part of it. Appreciate the visit, Shaq 🙌 - MacKenzie River Pizza Instagram
Here were my two favorite comments:
"Which one is he?" - Wyatt Prather
"Shaqenzie River Pizza?!" - Little Baby Nick

How many pizzas do you think Shaq could house? He's 7' 1" and was 325 pounds during his playing days. I can easily put down a frozen pizza, but I wouldn't hold a candle to Shaquille O'Neal.
Paris Hilton Visits Big Sky
Shaq Daddy wasn't the only celeb to show their face in Montana this week. Extremely wealthy Paris Hilton and her family enjoyed the slopes at the Yellowstone Club for spring break.
Paris Hilton and Shaquille O'Neal walk into Montana....There's a joke there, but I can't find it.
