Food Scene
This is not only a pizza restaurant but literally dinner and a show. The pizza is not the best you will ever taste, but they have salads and more. The best part is the show! You can sit for hours if you so desire and hear one of the largest Wurlitzer organs played by a very gifted musician for song after song of your favorite requests. All Broadway musicals, movie theme songs etc. You don't want to miss this if you are in the Phoenix area.
