Central Cinema (Central District)

1411 21st Ave
Seattle, WA
(206) 686-6684
Website

Central Cinema is a movie theater serving pizza and salads and so forth, as well as (importantly) cocktails, beer, and wine—during the movies! It's a goddamn good idea, and the programming is pretty great, and the place is a community favorite—just so you know, though, the service is notoriously slow and the food's just so-so.

You don't have to go there for movies

Great place to go eat when a movie is playing in the other room, you'll have the place to yourself. Good simple food at good prices. A calzone and salad hits the spot. And the deserts are way above average for this price range. Oh, and did I mention the super friendly owners and staff? Even if you don't want to see a movie, it's worth the trip. And if you are there for a movie, the food is well, gravy.

room for improvement

I so love the idea of this place, and the movies they show are great, but the food could use a little work. Big servings, but not really so tasty. Come on, you know you can do better!

Great concept, food needs help!

Pizza toppings are great, but the sauce and crust just don't hold up. I do love watching old B flicks with a cold pint of beer brought out to me!

Good pizza

I've been going to Central Cinema since it opened, and while the pizza has changed recipes a couple of times, the crust has always been excellent, with a solid, flavorful sauce and several good topping options. Try the one with potatoes and black olives- sounds funny, tastes great, especially with beer. Salads and popcorn are good too. Service is friendly, and the bistro is a good hang-out, even if you're not going for the movie
