I don't know if it's still there or not, but 20+ years ago in Indianapolis, Indiana, there was a family restaurant named "Pipe Organ Pizza" which had an ENORMOUS, um, wind instrument built into one wall. They always had an organist playing various tunes, and he gladly took requests. It was quite an experience.

... but 20+ years ago in Indianapolis, Indiana, there was a family restaurant named "Pipe Organ Pizza" which had an ENORMOUS, um, wind instrument... Here in Stockton, CA, we had a hardware store / lumber yard with a Theater Organ installed... seems to me it was about 8000 pipes along with glockenspiels, bass drums, traps, chimes, horns, and a host of other musical gadgets. The owner lived about six house from me... his widow still does. The organ was sold to a pizza house when the hardware store closed. Tragically, the organ was destroyed in a fire when the pizza parlor owner decided insurance fraud was more lucrative than pizza.
Sacramento also had a "Pizza 'n' Pipes" parlor.
