RJ Posted October 11, 2013 Author Share Posted October 11, 2013 Galaga gone. Arkanoid in the back room w/ Centipede. SW Ep I pinball out front next to new Blasteroids. Theater of Magic is the 3rd pin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RJ Posted October 11, 2013 Author Share Posted October 11, 2013 A couple preteen boys were there w/ their dad. One of the boys checked out Blasteroids & reported back to his dad "it's the sequel to Asteroids!" I corrected him "no, that's Deluxe. This came out in '87 or '88." The kid looked at me like "how dare you speak to me!" Had to educate him, just doing my job. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RJ Posted May 19, 2015 Author Share Posted May 19, 2015 (edited) A sad note, tomorrow is DeLeo's final day open, closing at 2pm after a 5 yr run. The games go back to Mendota Valley Amusements. None of the plans/expansion mentioned above was ever realized. Honestly, I hadnt seen the owner the last few visits, & I felt service dropped off. I spoke to my family about dinner there one last time tonight, but unsure if they'll be able to accomodate us, no longer operating at full scale. My wife was never a fan anyway.

S1500 Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 Sad. I feel bad only going there twice in my life now. I read on pinside that some Wisconsin operator guy's moving to Minnesota, so there might be a possibility of a pinball hotspot opening.

I know some people looking to do a pinball place around here, but I think they'd like to keep it in Minneapolis where there's a lot of foot traffic. Till then, we've got Mortimers.

This is your first post to the thread, so maybe not. I look forward to this new pin place, as long as there's available parking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
david_mn Posted June 9, 2015 Share Posted June 9, 2015 We were there for the last time a couple of weeks before they closed. I'll miss the place, both for the food and the video games. The garlic knots and cinnamon knots were tasty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm a bit more plugged into the pinball scene than I am retro videogames around here. New pinball place is more a "Wouldn't it be nice?" thing than a definite plan at this time. Parking? Probably not. I live around a few good locations which I can fortunately just walk to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RJ Posted September 8, 2016 Author Share Posted September 8, 2016 (edited) Well, FWIW, through a series of FB clues, we discovered that DeLeos is re-opening in a new location- Edina, which is considered an upper-crust (har har) upper-income Mpls suburb. Not sure how this kind of pizza place will fit in there unless they tailor their place to the clientele. I know it's way too far for me to go, or take the family. But good luck to them. Today they posted a pic of their jukebox, which IIRR I posted above was a bit of a negative in their prior location.

Buck Posted September 9, 2016 Share Posted September 9, 2016 I think it will work. They said it was next to the movie theater. Pizza and movie? Sounds like date night! Video games are icing on the cake! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
