Kid me (or now my six year old) would love an intermodal full of Chuck E Cheese tickets!

Adult me wonders how long they've been sneaking the ground up tickets into the "pizza" dough...

Had my sons birthday at Chuck E Cheese a few months before the pandemic.

Surprisingly the pizza wasn't too bad.

The actual party experience was really well done.

Thanks to COVID and the rise of food delivery, you can still get that pizza!

(psst. just don't tell the hipsters that think this is a new place.)

It must be location-specific. I went to my first one in decades this March, and we couldn’t finish the pizza. It felt like a kid’s casino with all the lights and sounds. The party was dystopian. It really soured a good childhood memory.

Many people like the casino design. That's why casinos use it, unhealthy as it may be. Same for the pizza.

Chuck E Cheese is great for young kid parties. We've used it for our kid's 5, 6 and 7 yr old birthdays. Took all the stress out of planning, cooking, cleaning etc. The kids had a ton of fun and the prices were reasonable. The food was nothing to write home about, but kids this age aren't exactly very discriminating when you put a ton of cheese and sweets in front of them.

Yeah, they changed the pizza a couple years back. I wouldn’t say it is great by any stretch of the imagination, but it is improved.
