Organ Stop Pizza is perhaps the most unique place to dine in the entire Phoenix metro region. At this unique local gem, you can feast on pizza while listening to music from the world's largest Wurlitzer organ, featuring 6000 pipes, numerous percussions, and countless traps.
The music is not limited to one genre, and they also take audience requests. From oldies, to Broadway classics, to modern Disney favorites, Organ Stop musicians play anything and everything. The organists are extremely talented and the overall vibe is just so eclectic and upbeat. If you are looking for something unique to do in the Phoenix region, look no further than Organ Stop Pizza! This is one of my favorite restaurants I have visited in Arizona thus far after 4 years of living in the state.
Organ Stop Pizza offers a variety of specialty pizzas, a salad bar, and a few tasty appetizer selections. You really come here to hear the amazing music - the decent food is just an added bonus. While not the best pizza in town, it's adequate enough and the salad bar is actually pretty good. You can build your own pizza or order a speciality Veggie, Hawaiian, or Spicy Italian. The app selection is pretty decent with cheese sticks, fries, garlic bread, fried mushrooms and zucchini on the menu. The pasta is pretty basic and limited to marinara, meatballs, and lasagna.
Service is surprisingly quick despite the immense crowds which populate the place nightly. The staff at Organ Stop seem to do a great job accommodating the large number of diners.
The setting is very laid-back and family friendly. There is no need to dress up or make reservations. The tables are a bit packed together and it can get really noisy & crowded, however, the overall experience is fantastic and the crowd levels do not take away at all from the experience. Be sure to request the Star Wars theme for the ultimate listening experience. Shows take place nightly, 30-45 minutes after dinner service begins.
Organ Stop is the perfect place for any Phoenix visitor seeking an eclectic dining experience. If you are up for trying something new, or simply love listening to music, then Organ Stop is a winning dinner destination. This really is a one-of-a-kind dining experience which I recommend setting time out specifically for while visiting the Phoenix metro area. You get to enjoy fabulous music, pizza, and escape the desert heat for a few hours.
