Pizza places in Phoenix, Milwaukee, are betting on the NBA finals
Two restaurants bet on who will win the NBA championship, the Suns or the Bucks, but there’s a nice twist too. The restaurants are the only two of their kind, and they are located in Phoenix and Milwaukee.
MESA, Aris. – Two restaurants bet on who will win the NBA championship that to sunbathe or the Bucks, but there’s a nice twist too.
Similar to winning the title, these two companies are also rare.
Organ Stop Pizza in the Phoenix area is just one of two similar restaurants in the country. The other? Coincidentally, is in Milwaukee.
The two now have a bet on which team will win.
Jack Barz of Organ Stop Pizza in Mesa says, “We’re the last two organ-equipped pizzerias in America. There were probably 150 such restaurants in the 1970s.”
Now they put their pride in the line of the Milwaukee restaurant that is at war with Organ Piper Pizza.
“I think it’s fate. It’s one of those things that they haven’t won the championship at since the ’70s. The suns never did and here we are, the last two pizzerias like this one and we happen to be together with it. ” said Barz.
The two owners, Barz and Derek Paikowski in Milwaukee, who are actually friends, agreed that no matter which team loses, the restaurant has to bake pizzas with the name of the opposing team and the organist wear the other team’s jersey all night got to.
That’s not all. The losing side also has to play the Queen hit “We Are The Champions”.
“Our organist is going to have to play in a Bucks jersey, Brett Valiant, he’s just excited that he won’t have to wear a tie that night. He said, ‘Does that mean I don’t have to wear a tie?’ and I said ‘no’ and he said ‘I’m in’ so he’s looking forward to wearing a t-shirt or jersey, “said Barz.
Paikowski’s daughter Nicole, who is the manager, will be one of those who wear a Suns jersey if the Bucks lose.
“Well, at least the Suns jerseys are kind of cool, but it stinks at the same time. It’s more fun. I’m more intrigued by the games just because we have this,” she said.
But luckily she says it’s only for one night. “Definitely, if it comes down to it, we can swallow it one night, but we’re excited too. It’s fun,” she said.
