2025 Centurion Award winner

Organ Stop Pizza

Best Family Night Out in Mesa · 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.

A signal you can check.

This is a dated award record, published by The Centurion Awards after Organ Stop Pizza cleared the 2025 evaluation for its market and category. It was not bought, voted on, or sponsored — the criteria are public, only winners are published, and an award that stops holding up is revoked, not quietly removed. Awards run one calendar year and renew only if the business clears the bar again. For everything else — hours, bookings, live reviews — go straight to the business itself.
