Food and drink

Chuck E. Cheese is an American entertainment restaurant chain, with locations featuring arcade games, amusement rides, and musical shows, in addition to serving food and drinks. The chain was founded in 1977 by Nolan Bushnell, the co-founder of Atari, Inc. The first location opened as Chuck E. Cheese's Pizza Time Theatre in San Jose, California, and was the first family restaurant to integrate food with arcade games and animated entertainment.

Pizza is the main focus of the restaurant portion of the business, but the menu features other items as well, including cold-cut sandwiches, chicken wings, salad bar access, and desserts. In addition, some Chuck E. Cheese locations offer alcoholic beverages.

In March 2020, during the COVID-19 pandemic, the restaurant began selling pizza, wings, desserts, and more through food delivery services under the ghost kitchen Pasqually's Pizza & Wings. The Pasqually name comes from Pasqually P. Pieplate, a member of Munch's Make Believe Band, the Chuck E Cheese animatronic band. While the food sold under this brand comes from the same brick-and-mortar kitchens as Chuck E. Cheese, the company claims to use different ingredients and recipes that cater to a more mature audience.

Chuck E. Cheese also offers various deals and discounts on food and drinks. For example, the "Buy 1 Large Pizza, Get One Large 50% OFF" deal is valid on Tuesday weekdays only and is available for dine-in or carryout. Another offer is the "Pair pizza, play and gameplay for save more!" deal, where customers can get 10% off their gameplay purchase when they buy any food and drink combo in-store.

The chain also offers birthday party packages that include arcade gaming, pizza, drinks, birthday cake, a reserved birthday table with party set up, and plenty of family fun.

Location history

Chuck E. Cheese (formerly known as Chuck E. Cheese's Pizza Time Theatre, Chuck E. Cheese's Pizza, and Chuck E. Cheese's) is an American entertainment restaurant chain founded on May 17, 1977, by Atari, Inc.'s co-founder Nolan Bushnell. The chain's first location was opened in San Jose, California, and it was the first family restaurant to integrate food with arcade games and animated entertainment, thus pioneering the "family entertainment centre" concept.

By the end of 1979, there were seven Pizza Time Theatre locations, six in California and one in Nevada. The company then began to franchise, resulting in a co-development agreement that granted exclusive franchising rights for sixteen states across the Southern and Midwestern United States. This led to the opening of more locations in the 1980s, including one in Australia under the name Charlie Cheese's Pizza Playhouse due to the common association of the word "chuck" with vomiting in Australia.

In 1984, the chain filed for bankruptcy and was acquired by Brock Hotel Corporation, the parent company of competitor ShowBiz Pizza Place, in 1985. This merger formed a new parent company, ShowBiz Pizza Time, Inc., which began unifying the two brands, renaming every location Chuck E. Cheese's Pizza. Over time, the name was shortened to Chuck E. Cheese's and, eventually, Chuck E. Cheese.

In the following decades, the chain continued to expand internationally, opening locations in various countries, including Chile, Mexico, Egypt, Trinidad & Tobago, and the United Arab Emirates. As of 2024, CEC Entertainment, the parent company of Chuck E. Cheese, owns and operates approximately 465 Chuck E. Cheese locations in the United States and Canada, with 96 franchised locations in the US, Puerto Rico, and 16 countries worldwide.
