“Garcia’s Pizza in a Pan, also known as “”The Flying Tomato Brothers,”” was founded in 1971 in Champaign, Illinois. At its peak, the chain expanded to operate 18 locations across Illinois, Indiana, and Missouri. This location was inside a private student dormatory and included pinball and potentially arcade video games as well. A 1977 ad notes a 3 for 25c pinball promotion.
