Shop Local with Scores Pizza & Arcade

Host Leesa Boone welcomes first-time guests Derek and Joyce, the new owners of Scores Pizza and Arcade in Madisonville Mall, as they share how a trip to buy a pizza oven led to purchasing and rebranding the former sports bar into a family-friendly, alcohol-free pizza-and-arcade destination. They discuss bringing an “80s/90s” vibe with Saturday morning cartoons, 25–30+ arcade games including air hockey, pinball and Skee-Ball, and a focus on quality ingredients, fresh proprietary dough made with Herjavec’s Bakery, and pizza by the slice (including dessert slices) instead of a buffet. They outline plans for reasonable in-house delivery, potential future Detroit-style pizza, free birthday parties with advance notice, tentative hours (closed Mon/Tue; open Wed–Sat 11–8, Sun 11–7), ongoing equipment/AC upgrades, and ask customers not to order online until they officially open.
