When the moon hits your eye like a big pizza pie…

It’s time to ditch ordering out for pizza.

If you and your family are used to chowing down on Rosatti’s or Domino’s, it’s about time you visit Organ Stop Pizza in Mesa. No other pizza joint in the East Valley combines atmosphere and food as well as they do. Orginally opened in Phoenix in 1972, visitors to the establishment munch on pizza while listening to the restaurant’s pipe organ, The Mighty Wurlitzer

The wurlitzer is the largest in the world and requires so much air to keep it running that four huge turbine blowers (visible from outside) are needed to keep it going. As of 2006, the wurlitzer boasts nearly 6000 pipes, a set of 32′ wood diaphones and numerous percussions such as drums, glockenspiels, xylophones, etc. 

The restaurant was designed around The Mighty Wurlitzer, so there is no bad seat in the house. No matter where you sit, you and your family will be treated to lively, entertaining music to keep the good times coming. 

Besides great acoustics and an unmatched atmosphere, Organ Stop also features a staff of world-renowned musicians from all over the United States. Each brings their own unique style to the Wurlitzer so no matter who you hear, you know you are in for a treat. 

And for any finicky eaters in the family, Organ Stop also features pastas, salads, appetizers and desserts besides pizza. 

Reservations are available for parties of 20 or more and  though usually closed during daytime hours, they can be contacted to possibly open for a private luncheon. 

Gift certificates are also available for a unique and fun gift for that special person in your life!
