Vores historie
All people smile in the same language
Midt i 1970’erne åbnede skotten Ian McPhearson et af byens allerførste pizzariaer på hjørnet af Skt. Clemens Torv.
I 1980 blev stedet overdraget til en DJ fra Blackpool ved navn Mickey Lee, som over de næste 35 år forvandlede det til en institution i hjertet af Århus. Et bredt udvalg af smagfulde amerikanske pizzaer, store burgere og saftige steaks er husets specialiteter.
Væggene, der er dækket af alt lige fra legendariske guitarer til signerede fodboldtrøjer af b.la. Ronaldo og Messi, og den småhøje rock ‘n’ roll musik har skabt en stemning, som man ikke finder andre steder, og som ikke bare århusianerne har forelsket sig i, men også kendisser lige fra kronprins Frederik til den legendariske rock’n’roller Alice Cooper.
Mackie’s har altid været en aktiv del af byen bl.a. med live musik i festugen og servering til diverse arrangementer, og vi glæder os til fortsat at bidrage så meget som muligt til byen liv.
Mackie’s Pizza & Cantina drives i dag videre af Mickey Lee’s familie i hans ånd.
In the mid 70s a Scotsman by the name of Ian McPherson opened one of the very first pizza bars in Århus on the corner of Skt. Clemens Torv.
In 1980 the place was taken over by a DJ from Blackpool called Mickey Lee, who over the next 35 years turned the pizzaria into an institution in the heart of Aarhus. A wide selection of tasty American pizzas, big burgers and juicy steaks are the specialities of the house.
The walls covered by legendary guitars and signed football shirts by Ronaldo and Messi among others and the rhytmical rock’n’roll music in the background have created an atmosphere not to be found elsewhere – an atmosphere that many locals and also celebrities like Crown Prince Frederik and the legendary rock’n’roller Alice Cooper have fallen in love with.
Mackie’s has always sought to be an active part of the town’s life, for instance by having outdoor bars and live music in ”Festugen” (the festive week) and by offering catering for special arrangements, and we are looking forward to contributing as much as possible to the town’s future life.
Today Mackie’s Pizza & Cantina is run by Mickey Lee’s family in his very spirit.
