It's kalua pork in every Hawaiian BBQ place I've been to (in CA) so I'd agree. The macron isn't necessary in English.

exactly where on an English keyboard do you find ā? as I type it gives ā as a spelling error. It absolutely is not English.

"Kalua" is an acceptable English translation for "pua'a kālua". It's like requiring the translation for "carnitas" to be "pulled pork" in English; the proper English word is the loan word, "carnitas".
