In addition to pizzas, there is a wide range of sandwiches. Tashie said the Philly Cheesesteak ($9.75) and Powerhouse Burger ($10.25), made with Angus brisket and garnished with truffle aioli, are two of the more popular items on the sandwich menu.įish & Chips ($10.50) also has been a well-received item, most likely because it's easy to eat in the theater. Beer-battered cod fillets are fried until crispy and served with malt vinegar and tartar sauce. “Plus, there was an open market for pizza at this end of South Main. We hope guests will come by for pizza even if they aren’t going to a movie.”

“We wanted a wood-fired pizza oven to be the centerpiece bar feature,” said Tashie on why they decided to invest in this expensive oven. Loaded with Rendezvous pulled pork, mozzarella, cheddar, barbecue sauce and jalapenos, this pizza has “just the right amount of spiciness,” Harris said. George Harris, who was introduced to me as the senior pizza production guy, said that his favorite pizza is the Pulled Pork BBQ ($9.75). It was colorful and tasty. This hand-tossed, thin-crust pizza was also large enough to split, making it a real dinner date bargain. The Veggie Pizza ($8.75) is the first item I tried at the Malco Powerhouse. The crust, which comes from La Baguette, was crispy, and the pizza was loaded with fresh vegetables like spinach, red onion, bell pepper, mushrooms and basil. The Cinema Grill at Malco Powerhouse is the most ambitious restaurant project yet for the theater owners. “We have been developing the cinema grill concept for six or seven years now.” “The entire cinema industry is moving toward a ‘whole night out’ experience,” said David Tashie, Malco president and chief operating officer. Wood-fired pizzas, chicken paninis, fish and chips, burgers, salads and a smorgasbord of appetizers are some of the items on the extensive menu.
