This used to be a chain, there is at least one left:

You eat pizza in a large hall and are entertained by a pipe organ that stretches all the way around the room. Anyone else been to these? Used to go a lot when I was a kid. I remember it being very loud. They always played Star Wars and the theme to Rocky. Nothing to look at except the guy playing organ and they might have had a bubble machine. The pipes were enormous. Bass down to 16hz I suppose. The theme from Dr. Zhivago. Help me out here.

It was converted to play As Slow As Possible, and now people just eat communion wafers and meditate.

Never went to a "Roaring 20s," but it seems like there were loads of these pipes n' pizza joints back in the day. They already seemed to dying breed by the time my childhood rolled around (early 80s), but, at thrift stores, I occasionally find private press LPs made by places like "The Roaring 20s," and they're full of awful happy organ muzak.

And yeah, my local joint did have a bubble machine as well.
