Does anyone remember Pizza Inn?

[duvaldude08]

Does anyone besides me miss Pizza Inn?? I can remember vividly eating at the one on Norwood after a field trip feeling like a fat pig. There was also one on Lenox/Normandy. Does anyone remember the other locations? Were they just a local chain?

Very much remember the one across from the old Great American Music Store in what used to be the Normandy Mall complex.  They had one of those table-top Pac-Man video game machines. You could eat pizza and play Pac-Man at the same time.  They weren't very good quality-wise however.  Uncle Charlies was always our choice if we wanted good pizza.

I'm about 90% sure there was a location in Arlington as well.

There used to be one at Blanding and 103rd in front of what used to be Albertson's. Closed around 1990 I think.

It was always great to get greasy hands on that Pacman machine. The sit down machines were the best.

I have the vaguest memory of this place and yes, it was the pac-man games that stood out to me the most . I remember scarfing down pizza while chasing ghost, great childhood memory! We need a joint like that back in Jacksonville that isn't Adventure Landing or Dave & Busters, a place that serves booze and lets you play vintage arcade and pinball games. Something like Shorty's in Seattle: http://www.shortydog.com/ (but i'd prefer pizza)

Pizza Inn 2.0 anyone?

I remember that. It was the year my family moved here. There used to be a Dairy Queen across the street too and a Pic N' Save on the other corner.

I also remember a place called Mr Gatti's that was similar. Maybe on Lane Avenue.

Also, I just talked to a co-worker in Dallas, which is where their HQ is. It sounds like they're mostly delivery now, So there's very few  dine in restaurants left with the arcade games.

There was a Mr. Gatti's in Neptune Beach. They also had huge projector screens where they'd play cartoons, and news and sports in the adults section. Many a fond memory of blowing quarters on Alleyway and Ms. Pacman.

Loved Mr. Gatti's!  (beaches kid here)  Of course when I was there, Saturday Night was a circuit for all the beaches kids between Gatti's and Hobby Oasis. 

10 dollars in tokens and five bucks for pizza and you were set for the entire evening.

It was a sad day when that Hobby Oasis moved. Where else could you check out a ludicrously detailed model train city while playing some Elevator Action?

Nobody answered cgaskins question about that being a chain restuarant or not.  Were the logo and sign the same? Local coincidence?

Pizza Inn (from the link) looks just like a Pizza Hut copy,from the red logo to the table Pac-Man game.
