2025 Centurion Award winner

Awarded against five published criteria, checked on public evidence.

Organ Stop Pizza

Best Family Night Out in Mesa · AZ

Restaurant · Mesa, AZ · Since 1972

The overview

Pizza with a Mighty Wurlitzer floor show

Organ Stop Pizza has been a Mesa family-night spectacle since 1972, built around the largest Wurlitzer theater pipe organ in the world. Each evening the organ — 6,000-plus pipes plus xylophones, gongs, and cymbals — rises on a hydraulic lift above a 700-seat dining room while an organist takes requests.

The pizza is casual and the show is the point: a genuinely one-of-a-kind Arizona institution where the music, not the menu, has packed the room for over fifty years.
