Any retro type pizza places left in your city/town add pics

[Gunstar Green]

There are loads of local pizza places in my town, none with arcade machines anymore though unfortunately. This one new place opened up nearby which has Mortal Kombat II and Pac Man Jr. though they were in the process of getting them fixed I think.

There used to be a bunch of machines at the one burger place but I don't think they have anything now, maybe one pinball machine. Another burger place used to have a Spy Hunter cabinet that I played all the time growing up, making it one of my favorite games from the golden age of arcades. I wish I knew what happened to it, or rather I wish I had it.

Up until recently my local Pizza Hut still had an old jukebox and a Raiden cabinet but they both disappeared a few months ago .

Man, I haven't been to a place like that in a long time. When I lived in Utah, I used to spend a lot of time at The Pie pizzeria near the University of Utah. They have a basement with lots of tables, great supery cheesy-greasy pizza, and there used to be a room in the back with a few pinball and arcade machines. I don't know if that's there anymore. It's been a long time. I should go back there some time when I visit my family.

There is some good pizza here in Seattle (Kylie's, Wallingford Pizza, Paggliacci), but none have arcades.

I've never checked it out though. I'm pretty devoted to my usual joint.

Some have tried, but they have been pretty awful. Imo's pizza is a great regional chain (St. Louis Style Thin Crust) but no real retro stuff going on. A local place called Pogolino's is good but I don't remember them having arcade machines when I was a kid or recently, cool old school wood decor though.

When I was a kid there was a pizza place within walking distance of my house that had a gumball machine. Some of the gumballs had the logo of the restaurant printed on them and if you got one of those you won a free large cheese pizza.

Being a young kid with little money, I would often "play" the gumball machine and as I remember it I actually won more times than I "lost" (but hey, at least you still get the gum! )

I remember parents in the area getting upset and calling it "gambling" and the restaurant had to stop offering it

It was so cool, though! You got to treat your friends to an impromptu pizza party for a quarter! I still have fond memories of a couple of those times I won a pizza.


These days I'm all about the Freschetta PizzAmore frozen pizzas. They come with a crisping tray to cook in the oven. Best frozen pizza on the market IMO.

There are independent pizza places in my area ... but they're not like pizzerias you always saw in movies when you were a kid ... Even when I was younger ... it was more likely to find Arcade machines in laundromats than most pizza places (Seriously).

Up until a couple years ago, though, my local Round Table had a Neo Geo cab loaded with Metal Slug X, Puzzle Bobble, ... and something else I can't remember what. But their pizza ... kinda sucks and is WAY too expensive.

The only other sort of "video game + pizza" sort of joint around here is Bullwinkle's, Chuck-E-Cheese, and Malibu Gran Prix.

Been a while since I've been there but they had a couple cabinets. I'm sure Illinois law has since removed the nostalgic cigarette smell in the years that have passed though.

Many hours spent here eating ice cream and playing a Galaga cocktail in my early years.

This restaurant:

is within walking distance from my home, and it has a beautiful Ms. Pac-Man cocktail table in addition to those great red-plastic pizza place soda glasses.

I've heard no arcade cabinet is worth visiting Fuel pizza.

My local University has a small cafeteria that's next to a bowling alley and a pretty decent arcade. I usually just go there to bowl.
