Background[]
Pipe Organ Pizza was a chain of restaurants found across the United States which, like the similar Chuck E. Cheese's, had locations that served pizza (along with also having a salad bar), animatronic puppets and either several arcade games or a separate arcade room with games. Also as the name stated, live organ shows were also performed, with a projection screen coming down and showing Three Stooges clips and cartoons during an organist break.
There was a Pipe Organ Pizza at Monroe and Interstate 45 in Houston, Texas for several years, having several video and pinball games.
