In addition to grabbing a pizza (which I think were $5 at the time) we would easily go through 2+ movies per day when I didn't have classes.
    It was just across from the Fieldhouse parking lot, East of the old Hardees/Burger King (that is now a Starbucks) on Canyon Rd.

      I don't remember any edited movies. May have changed later, I guess.

        I'm guessing the edited movies thing was in the late 90s or early 00s when the Clean Cut/Clean Flicks wave was in full swing.

          Then it's not the one I was thinking of - but I remember going there now.

          After some sleuthing on the internet, I think I found the name/location of the membership video rental spot - Cougar Video on 1720 North just off of State Street, though the Google Maps doesn't present the buildings there how I remember the store.

            Would have been between 2000-2002.

              As I suspected. By then, JL was ordering the most expensive pizza in P-town, Brick Oven. (Note I did not say the best pizza, as Brick Oven's pizza crust is pretty average, and their overly-sweet pizza sauce is not good).

                Yeah, my Sounds Easy days were ~82-86.

                • I think Sounds Easy was gone by about the year 2000. Edit: I was going there in 97-98.

                    That might be why we were going to Cougar Video in 2000-2002. I think that Sounds Easy location had been converted into a restaurant of some kind by then.

                        Right. A Philly cheese steak place.

                            Yes indeed. And I just missed the Miracle Bowl and Ainge layup by one year (on my mission from 80-82).

                              I was at the Miracle Bowl and we stayed to the very end. Very formative in my youth to cement my BYU fanhood for life.

                              • Pizza Pipeline was great for an 18 year old. We ordered many a Colossus when living in Helaman Halls. Honestly I'd probably eat it now if it still existed. Sounds Easy and 5 Buck were both well below average, but the price was right. Didn't 5 buck also throw in a gallon of their root beer as well? Again objectively not great but we drank it. Brick Oven may be the most overrated pizza I have ever had. It's not bad, but just nowhere near what people say about it, especially in my time at the BYU. And just to be fair and balanced: the Pie is also extremely overrated.
