Central Cinema Has Pretty Awesome Pizza!

Tonight we headed to Central Cinema for a Hawaiian Film Fest that Dan describes wonderfully over on our other blog.



This was our first time to Central Cinema, and we were very pleased. I've been to movie theaters in other cities (Portland comes to mind) that serve food and drinks, but somehow never made it to Seattle's own (and only) restaurant/bar/movie theater. I'm glad we finally did, because the food is not the afterthought one might think. The menu includes wonderfully prepared 10" pizzas, calzones, burgers, tapas, salads, desserts and more - plus a good selection beer and wine.



Dan went for the DIABOLO pizza, which includes Italian sausage, spicy greens, and garlic with marinara & cheese.



I opted for the BACIO - artichoke hearts, bacon, and spinach with marinara & cheese. Other pizzas have things like potatoes, bechamel sauce, eggplant, chevre, smoked mussels, or fresh rosemary.



We ended up sharing the two pizzas, and Dan & I both liked the pies a lot. They were the perfect size, and the crust was nice and crispy - ideal for eating while watching a movie. Half the theater is set up with little two-top 'tablettes', and a waitress periodically comes through to check if anyone needs anything. She was very attentive without distracting from the films - a challenge I wouldn't want to try myself, but which she executed seemingly effortlessly.

Dan also noted that a significant portion of the menu items are vegetarian - though it's well balanced by things like bacon pizza. So a little something for everyone.



And did I mention it's normally just $6 bucks to see a movie there? Hard to beat that! Dark Crystal is showing in early August... any takers?
