Does anyone remember a pizza theater/restaurant in Denham Springs called Aunt Rosie's?

It's one of my oldest memories. My Dad used to take me and my Sister to this place on Saturdays.
It was Aunt Rosa's, or Aunt Rosie's or something like that. It was on Range Rd in the shopping center where the Baskin Robbins is located.
It was a pizza restaurant and theater and they played children's movies and cartoons on Saturdays, like Little Rascals, Laurel and Hardy, Abbott and Costello, The Three Stooges, Looney Tunes, etc. Sometimes they would play Disney movies.
It was open around 1983 or so and it's concept was before it's time.
I can't find any record of it on the internet at all, which is crazy. Does anyone from these parts remember this place?

I remember it. I think we went twice. It was a pretty big deal for a place like Denham back then.

I remembered it as Mama Rosies or Rosa's but again, those are old memories. They had probably the best video arcade at the time. I spent some time there myself.

That was before my time, but man that shopping center was also a staple in my childhood. In one shopping center you had the haircut place, Mr. Gatti's, a bowling alley/arcade, and Baskin Robbins.
When Mom pulled into that shopping center, it was like Christmas.

Crazy, I was thinking about this place the other day. We went there a time or two, but my dad hated Pizza so it wasn't at the top of any lists. 
I don't think that place was open for more than a few months was it?

I talked to my dad about it. He said it was Mama Rosa's. It was in the old TG&Y. I think it was open probably 6mths-1yr. I know we went a few times and we didn't really do much (compared to today) so it must have been a cheap option. Dad said the pizza was AWFUL though. I searched it and found frozen pizza named Mama Rosa's. Maybe they named it after that pizza or something. Not really sure honestly. I just remember playing Dragon's Lair there and it was pretty much the best graphics game that I had ever seen. I think maybe they had like .50 movies on Saturday or something because I remember riding my bike up there which is wild considering we lived over by the old dsjh (9th grade now?). But we ran all over Denham back in the day even walking the R/R bridge across the Amite.
Kinda surprised I survived. But that was fairly normal for kids with bikes and parents who worked.

I'm really not sure. I just remember loving that place. It must have been a cheap option and I wouldn't have cared how the pizza tasted at that time
I remember that place being like the Toys R Us of restaurants
