The World’s Largest Wurlitzer Organ Is in This Pizza Shop
When you dine at Organ Stop Pizza, you’re in for a show. The Mesa, Arizona, restaurant is home to the largest Wurlitzer organ in the world.

Arizona Science Center and Organ Stop Pizza // Winnebago RV Family
On the way back from California to Texas, we made a few stops including a return to the Arizona Science Center and Organ Stop Pizza. Our ASTC Membership allows us to get into many different science museums throughout the country either free or at a discount. This was one of the best deals we've had and we enjoy visiting all of the different museums. In Mesa Arizona, Val got to relive a piece of her past at a pizza place called Organ Stop Pizza. What a fun time!
▶ Check out my gear on Kit:
We are Fouralifetime - a fun, vibrant family of four who has embarked on an epic journey across the United States, Canada and beyond in our Class A Winnebago Sightseer Motorhome. Living the fulltime RV lifestyle isn't always easy, but it is worth it. As we travel, we document our successes and failures and our dreams and hopes as we share with others through our family travel vlog.
We hope to inspire others to Choose Your Own Adventure and seek out More Better Days whether you travel fulltime now or dream of RV life in the future. Along the path, we share tips and hacks, how-tos RV tours and Tech Guides and Reviews as well as looking to others for inspiration. Whether you're an RV newbie or a seasoned veteran, there is something for you. RV living has allowed us to re-think our lifestyle and realize that it's not about acquiring stuff; but rather acquiring memories and living a life that has no boundaries. Join us on this crazy journey! We thank you for coming along for the ride!
