The last time I ate at Chuck E Cheese was in the early 1980s in Northern Virginia. I went there for a friend's birthday party. The only fun part was the Arcade. Even as a young kid I did not care for their pizza. I am surprise they are still around.

The pizza was awful. It was always a canned, dreary experience.

Gee...no more really bad pizza, served in a filthy environment, full of screaming kids, and parents doing nothing about it.

What a shame./sarc

I remember when Nolan Bushnell of Atari fame started the chain. I had the same experience as you, though. Went for my nephew’s birthday party. The kids loved the games and 3-year-olds aren’t particularly fussy about their pizza. The adults, on the other hand...!

Time for a fresh take on kid parties...

[cherry]

it was fun at first.....but I remembered the pizza was not that good and to add a salad was silly expensive....

A restaurant who’s mascot is a rodent? Not a good idea.

So where will hooligans go to get in huge brawls?

Hard to believe they could serve that crap in Cleveland.

Chuck E. Cheese’s: The Ferals’ Shangri-La

I hated Chucky Cheese. My young boy loved it. It was hell for me to take him and then there was that damn gorilla with symbols banging loudly. It was a cacophony of noise. I always wanted to shoot (figuratively so) that damn gorilla.

Best memory of CEC is watching my grandkids run around having fun in the arcade, asking for more tokens! So many things we once took for granted...(and of course made fun of the horrible pizza!)

I’m saddened by this turn of events. I had a very pleasant year doing contract work for them about ten years ago, in their tax department. People were very friendly to work with, and it was challenging work: it took about six months to complete a tax program conversion, to include 14 subsidiary corporations...500 stores, 45 states, some state and local returns were over 300 pages.

Where will America’s indigenous urban peoples be able to get into brawls if Chuck E. Cheese shuts its doors?

[HotKat]

I’m sad for those who will be losing jobs.

[DocRock]

The Dems should buy ‘em out... CEC... The anti Kek... Already has the proper mascot and registered members have acceptable taste and behavior.

That place is a germ factory under the best of conditions.

I just looked at the Chuck E Cheese website and they are pushing their carry-out and delivery service via grub hub and others.

Who in their cotton pickin brain thinks of ordering Chuck E Cheese when they think of pizza?

[Greetings_Puny_Humans]

I liked the animatronics. I think, however, they’ve gotten rid of all of them, replaced them with dudes in costumes.
