Organ Stop Pizza

Went here with a bunch of friends and family, never saw an organ that large attached to other playing music instruments… pretty neat. The food was mediocre, ordered a couple of pizzas (it was so so), fried mushrooms, fried zucchini and onion rings. Nothing really to crave about, good spot to go to for first time visitors.

Your experience is almost completely dependent on who’s playing the organ on any given night. If you have the misfortune of Charlie Balogh, it’s your own fault because you should have checked the schedule before you went. You will more than likely hear songs composed no later than 1968 which is fine if you’re between 75 – 100 years old. While there’s a box for requests, it might as well lead to a paper shredder because Charlie prefers to play whatever he wants to hear or perhaps only what he knows how to play. Try to keep requests simple and maybe they might get played, Mary Had a Little Lamb, Pop Goes the Weasel, etc.

It’s Chucky Cheese for grown ups. A huge, beautiful Wurlitzer fills the room with incredibly rich music and fidelity. Songs seemed centered on the 50’s and Broadway-​sound of music, Music Man, etc. Enjoyable, but a conversation killer. So come to listen & eat. The pizza is slightly above average. We had a gluten free veggie & spicy meat pizza. The crust was surprisingly good and there was more cheese & toppings than average. A little more sauce & it might have gotten 5 stars. The organist takes breaks throughout the afternoon and evening. Open at 4… Early enough for the blue hairs. They close at 9pm. Note-​no debit or credit. Cash & checks only. There’s an ATM in the lobby if you’re short cash. And after your pizza you can add to the Caliries with an ice cream sundae.

They don’t have places like this back home! The entertainment was great. If you’re looking for a quick sit down meal, this is a good place to go with the whole family. I’m glad we stopped here.

I can really only echo Pepper T.‘s post. I don’t think there’s much that I can add. Our small group of adult fun-​seekers thoroughly enjoyed our night out at Organ Stop Pizza. As others have noted, you don’t come here for the pizza. That said, it wasn’t bad. I don’t think it’s so poor as Chuck E. Cheese pizza (granted it’s been years since I’ve eaten it) and it’s definitely better than Little Caesar’s. It’s not the cheapest, but you’re also paying for the experience. Some have complained about the salad bar being a single visit deal — which it is – but if you work it right, you get plenty for your bucks. While we didn’t get ice cream, they do have a pretty good selection of Shamrock Dairy ice creams.
It was very fun to watch the theater pipe organ in action. It really is a show, with lots of contraptions engaging at different times throughout any given song, making it both a visual experience as well as an auditory experience.
This is another place I’d definitely revisit, were I to be in the valley. For us, driving from Downtown, it is a drive, but for something we’ll do once or twice, it’s totally worth it.

Fun experience for kids and pretty cool to see for the musically-​inclined (if not but for the first 10 – 15 mins or so). The pizza was average — on par w/​Chuck E Cheese — and the penny pinching was more than obvious. They charge way more than expected to add a salad bar to your order and strictly allow one visit — it’s sort of like a grumpy cafeteria lady is running shop or something.
I will say the organist and the instrument is impressive. But seriously — the arcade is embarrassing and stole like half of my kids quarters on non-​functional old arcade games ($ 1.00 to play a game that’s probably 20 years old now? Really! $.50 for Cruisin USA! Like a bad joke that sucks in 5 year olds).

First time here. I must say this was such a fun place to eat and enjoy some awesome music. The pizza I ordered was huge and delicious! Def a family environment or if you have company in town and want to take them to a fun restaurant. The organ player was awesome and he played so many songs without sheet music.

Loved the music — best part of the visit — quite entertaining, nice selection of songs. Great for kids, our little ones (potentially grumpy from too much pool time) danced around to the music, played some arcade games; adults could visit. The pizza was not so great in my opinion — we had one meat combo and a pepperoni. Sort of like Chuck E Cheese — overly dry (Really could have used more sauce and cheese), and the toppings weren’t the best quality. Salad bar was okay — a bit overpriced. It was a good choice for the family, but the pizza was not the draw.

We came on the advise of a friend who thought the «show» was great. He had been there with a private group of 100. We were all very disappointed. The pizza is like frozen pizza, the dining room is very dark and very crowded. Tables are picnic style and so crammed together that we were literally backs touching backs of the tables next to us. I do not know how the State Fire Inspector would have allow the crammed together people.
The organ playing would have been enjoyable, if we only could have heard it. For the life of me, I do not understand why all these people would have come to this restaurant to eat so so pizza and then talk loudly through the whole show. Very rude to the organist. The talking in the room was so loud that we could barely hear the organ playing.
We were all very disappointed. Perhaps if the Manager or someone would have frequently announced from the stage to please not talk and respect the Organist and the other guests, it would have been more enjoyable.
I would not recommend spending the money. Go someplace with good pizza and better atmosphere.

Organ Stop Pizza is an ATTRACTION that sells food. The food isn’t the best just like from any other attraction but I do note they are very clean and post a Grade «A» Health Inspection Sign.
That said this is a very casual large family friendly place where you order at the counter, pay, get your drinks and silverware, seat yourself and look to a giant board on the wall for your number and pick up your food yourself.
The attraction is seeing and hearing one of the largest Wurlitzer Organs in the world. Not all but many of the songs played are theme songs. I heard the Star Wars Theme Song followed by the Star Trek Theme Song. I heard American Theme Songs and lots of Disney Theme Songs. Beware lots of young children all around dancing to the music between tables. Lots of family gatherings with birthday parties too.
Downstairs they have setting for about 500 people in bench style tables. It is very loud downstairs but you are closer to the organ can see more of the organ around the room.
Upstairs is smaller and seats around 200 people with tables. Upstairs might be the romantic spot because you are near the woofers and the seats vibrate a lot when the Titanic Theme Song is played.
The salad bar is similar to what budget steak houses offer but the difference is that everything was fresh.
The pizza is similar to a frozen pizza but slightly better. The crust is thin and crispy covered in corn meal or semolina and the cheese is better than from a frozen pizza.
Nobody waits on you but they do have bus people to clear the plates and clean.
For those that get board of the organ playing people can spend time in the arcade or shop for stuffed animals and organ playing music at the gift shop.
Parking is easy in the very large parking lot.
This place was fun and should be on everyone’s bucket list!

A fun place for the family. Where else can you enjoy pizza, salad and ice cream while listening to the theme from Star Wars on an organ?

Organ Stop Pizza is a must for those who have never been, and for those visiting from out of town. You don’t need me to tell you that, since you will undoubtedly be smacked in the face with elderly folks and oxygen tanks. Sometimes even tour buses full drop off. I suggest off-​season visits. Parking can be atrocious, bit at least it’s free.
The vintage organ is visible both from the exterior and interior. The organist rises from the floor in a spectacular display. He takes requests and passes birthday, anniversary and other special messages. It really is a sight. Be prepared that it is really loud. Don’t expect any semblance of conversation here. If I put my mouth directly near you ear, I bet you couldn’t hear me.
The pizza and accoutrement is substandard. This is about the organ and the novelty really, with a side of pizza. The young counter staff is mostly disinterested. Ordering is weird because pizza is separate from drinks, which is separate from ice cream. Really kind of a poorly thought out set up. Also be aware that when your order is ready, the light flashes your number on a Keno-​style board on each side of the room, toward the balcony area. They don’t explain it, so people get confused.
If you get weirded out by picnic table, family-​style seating, know that this is what seating is here. At times it is really hard to find a table, even on the upper balcony. Have family find a table before you get the food to alleviate some seat — finding stress. The tables have been varnished a million and a half times, so combined with the food residue, it’s always sticky.
But that said, even if you are a local and have never been, it is a spectacle that you must see at least once. Strike that. Not AT LEAST ONCE, ONLY ONCE. It’s a one and done. Trust me.

It was definitely an experience eating here with my parents! The organ music was pretty incredible and the show is entertaining. We happened to sit right underneath the bubble machine which got a little wet but the seats were great. You definitely can’t talk and have conversation here but the overall experience is unique and fun.
Now the food situation… kind of awkward. It’s cash only so be prepared to pay the ATM fee if you’re like me and don’t normally have cash on you. Then the food ordering is segmented out. So you order pizza and they give you a number. Then you go to a separate counter and wait in line if you want to order drinks. Then you find a seat, wait for your number to come up, and go pick up your food. You grab your own plates, silverware, napkins, and condiments too. The food was average and the set up is poor, but it’s a neat experience overall. I’m glad I can say I’ve been there once but I probably wouldn’t go back.

Heard about this place through co-​workers. It’s a nice place to bring my mother when she visits… But I wouldn’t return. The line to order was long, the drink line was unorganized, then it took forever to find a clean seat! Then we couldn’t even see the man playing… It’s just not worth the hassle. The pizza wasn’t bad— but I would rather make my own.

It felt like Vegas. Please note, I like Vegas. If you don’t like loud noises and bright, flashing lights in the dark, this isn’t for you.
Lots of stimulation of the senses. The decorations are cool too. The giant organ is connected to the décor. Even the ceiling fans are on a cool mechanical system.
The pizza was good. Not too thick, not too thin. I only got pepperoni, but would like to try additional toppings.
It was fun to dance along to the music while eating. I can’t wait to go back!

This is a one of a kind, must see experience where you will hear very well played organ music and eat pizza! What a clever combination. The Organ Stop packs them in and people love it! Kids dance, people stand up with their hands on their heart during their National Anthem (I heard THE STAR SPANGLED BANNER and O CANADA), and the music produces a resounding cacophony from all directions.
The organists who play here are well trained, experienced theater organists who can bring their preprogrammed beats and effects right into the song. They take requests but obviously, not every request can be met. The last time we were here, the music ranged from THRILLER to THE BATTLE HYMN OF THE REPUBLIC to THE SOUND OF MUSIC MEDLEY and more. All were fantastic!
The pizza is good too. Add a $ 5 pitcher of soda and a salad from the salad bar and you’re on your way to a great night out. There’s also appetizers and ice cream available. We like to sit on the second level so we can see the revolving stage better.
I LOVE THIS PLACE

Wow. How to review this place? The pizza is about 3/​5, salad good but it’s one trip with the tiniest plate ever. Their service is counter service only but the show was a kick. Not what we expected at all but we had fun. For that alone, we will probably come back. It was fun to watch the crowd get into it and clap along with the organ.

This place was pretty entertaining! The music varied from star wars to frozen theme songs. Pizza was alright, but crust not very good. For two people it would be about $ 15 for a medium two topping pizza. Drinks are a bit pricey so I’ll stick with water. Looking forward to going back

As soon as you locate this place be aware that you’ll search for a parking spot. This place is busy as it should. One of the first places we were told to visit when we moved here was to go here. It took us a year and a half but we finally made it when we went with out-​of-​town guests.
When you walk through the front door make sure you join in the line (to order your meal) and have someone in your party locate seats. In line you will see the simple menu, be ready when you get to the cashier.
Food:
My husband and kids love pizza. This was the first time that we opted to not take leftovers home. That is a first. It’s not a place for a meal. You’re coming for time with friends and the show. Everyone at our table agreed that the company and entertainment was the best part. Not the pizza.
Service:
You would think that the staff understands that this is a destination for a majority of people that come here. Greeting people with a smile and answering questions like: How will I know when my order is ready? It must have pained our cashier to explain that there is a board with numbers that lights up when it is ready. When my husband asked, «Where is it?» she was agitated that we didn’t see «where» it was. When you point aimlessly out the door, that gives us no idea. Effort is lacking in customer service.
Atmosphere: This is what you come here for. Although the décor is lacking and brings you back in time, you come for the entertainment. The kids loved it. Although none of their songs were picked they enjoyed chatting and deciding who was going to request it. You come here for the memory of seeing a giant Wurlitzer organ rise onto a stage and listen as a person plays every and any song you can imagine.
Parking: It was busy but the lot is huge and free. Don’t be surprised if you see tour buses dropping people off.
This is a place that different generations will like for what it does and that is bringing people together.
Tips: bring cash and a smile.

If you are into sitting inside of a giant pipe organ while being pounded with renditions of every show tune, movie soundtrack, patriotic song, service song or favorite from the past century, then this is the place for you. You don’t even need your hearing aids.
Biggest organ in the world, only two dozen people on the planet capable of playing it, has every instrument sound known to mankind (and then some) and the organist takes requests. This place seems to be a favorite with the elderly crowd for the reasons stated.
For me it was loud. And I’m hearing impaired. I even took my hearing aids out and it was still loud.
Oh, and they serve pizza, salad, beer, soda and have a sundae bar. I had the pizza, it wasn’t bad if you count frozen pizza as delicious. The salad greens were fresh and industrial quality, the dressings were the big four, Blue Cheese, French, Ranch and Italian, all apparently coming from a jug. maybe the same jug — as I tried the ranch and the blue cheese and there was no discernible difference other than the blue cheese had some soft lumps of something in it.
The iced tea was watery and instant, but made recently.
If you have never eaten a tasteless salad and mediocre pizza washed down with watery beverages while being pounded by organ style show tunes sound, sitting at cafeteria-​style tables, then you gotta try this place.
If you go back it’s your own damn fault.
