When planning a getaway to Genting Highlands, many visitors find themselves caught in the lively whirlwind of SkyAvenue’s central concourse, navigating crowded food halls and bustling corridors. Yet, just a five-minute drive up the ridge toward the newly minted architectural gem—the Wyndham Ion Majestic Hotel—lies a remarkably refreshing dining sanctuary. Perched on Level 12, The Majestic Pizza has quietly become a go-to retreat for travelers looking to slow down, take in sweeping misty mountain vistas, and tuck into hearty, satisfying Western comfort food.
During our recent editorial trail covering the highland’s culinary scene, the team at sgfoodlifestyle.com visited The Majestic Pizza to explore their menu across pizzas, poultry, pasta, and specialty coolers.
Location & Setting: High-Altitude Relaxation
The Majestic Pizza sits within the stylish lifestyle retail podium of the Wyndham Ion Majestic Hotel. Unlike the windowless dining spots inside the central gaming malls, this venue capitalizes fully on its high-altitude setting.
Floor-to-ceiling glass paneling frames the rolling mist of the Titiwangsa ridge, providing natural mountain lighting by day and a moody, atmospheric backdrop as dusk falls. The interior balances modern industrial chic with warm wooden booth seating and contemporary pendant lights, creating a relaxed, family-friendly space where you can genuinely unwind without feeling rushed by long queues.

1. Hawaiian Pizza
A quintessential crowd-pleaser that serves as the calling card for any neighborhood pizzeria. The Hawaiian Pizza arrived fresh from the oven, filling the air with the aroma of toasted dough and caramelized cheese.
- The Crust: Hand-stretched with blistered, airy edges, offering a crisp initial crunch that yields to a tender, chewy crumb.
- The Toppings: Generously spread with tangy crushed tomato sauce, tender savory chicken ham slices, and juicy chunks of pineapple that burst with bright sweetness.
- The Finish: A thick blanket of golden, bubbling mozzarella pull that bound the sweet and savory notes together.
2. Deep-Fried Chicken Chop
For those who appreciate classic Malaysian-Western execution, the Deep-Fried Chicken Chop was an immediate hit. A thick, deboned whole chicken thigh was dredged in seasoned flour and fried to order. The golden crust was shatteringly crisp, sealing in the natural juices of the meat with zero dryness or greasiness. Accompanied by crispy golden fries and a rich brown reduction, it delivered straightforward, nostalgic comfort against the cool mountain air.
3. Cheese Chicken Burger
Stepping into burger territory, the Cheese Chicken Burger was built for generous appetites. The sandwich featured a succulent, seasoned chicken fillet layered with crisp lettuce, sliced tomato, and a melted sheet of sharp cheese that draped over the patty. Held together by a toasted brioche bun that soaked up the juices without collapsing, every bite delivered a rich, savory mouthful.
4. Aglio Olio Ayam
To round out the savory mains, the kitchen’s Aglio Olio Ayam provided an aromatic pasta option. Spaghetti was cooked true al dente, tossed vigorously in quality extra virgin olive oil with sliced garlic cloves, chili flakes, and tender strips of seasoned chicken breast. The heat was pleasantly measured—sharp enough to warm the throat without overpowering the savory garlic oil—making it an ideal carbohydrate fix before heading back out into the chill.
5. Specialty Quenchers: Ambarella Sour Plum & Lychee Lemon
A heavy Western meal calls for invigorating beverages, and The Majestic Pizza’s drink menu hits the mark:
- Ambarella Sour Plum: Prepared from freshly juiced green kedondong (ambarella) fruit and infused with salted sour plum (asam boi). It is tart, herbaceous, and intensely tangy, cutting cleanly through the richness of melted cheese and fried chicken.
- Lychee Lemon Drink: A vibrant cooler balancing floral, sweet whole lychees against the zesty bite of fresh lemon juice, served over crushed ice for a crisp, refreshing palate cleanser.

Whether you are staying at Wyndham Ion Majestic or taking a short detour from First World and SkyAvenue, make sure to save room for a freshly baked pie and a tall glass of Ambarella Sour Plum above the clouds.
