About
Reel Pizza Cinerama is one of Bar Harbor's most beloved and unique institutions — a combination pizza restaurant and movie theater that turns a regular movie night into a full family dining experience. The concept is delightfully simple: order your pizza, find a table, and watch the film while eating. It's the kind of place that kids talk about long after the vacation is over.
The theater screens a mix of current releases and popular classics, making it easy to find something the whole family wants to watch. The pizza is genuinely good — fresh, satisfying, and well-portioned for hungry families who have spent the day hiking in Acadia. Beer and wine are available for adults, while kids enjoy the novelty of the combined dining experience.
The casual, laid-back atmosphere makes Reel Pizza a natural fit for families with children of all temperaments. Unlike traditional cinemas where kids need to stay perfectly quiet, the restaurant format is more forgiving of a certain amount of chatter and movement — though the audience is generally respectful during the screening.
Reel Pizza Cinerama is particularly valuable on rainy Bar Harbor evenings when outdoor plans have been washed out. It's warm, it's fun, it's delicious, and it's genuinely different from anything most families experience at home. Order early, grab a good table, and enjoy one of Bar Harbor's most iconic experiences.
