I would say the primary reason for going there is the entertainment center, not the food.

And if you took the food away kids would still want to go there. If you took the entertainment away nobody’s going there for the pizza.

I don’t know who you’re trying to impress. Most of us have been deeply soaked in the Bushnell-verse… I’m looking forward to the upcoming origin story movies.

That said, my kid got invited to a Chuck E Cheese’s birthday party recently, and the pizza was a hell of a lot better than I remember it being 15 years ago

Not going to win any awards, but definitely edible

The initial pitch was an arcade with a restaurant to feed guests. Since video games were at the core of that strategy, I would expect it should be classified as an entertainment center first.

It’s a barcade, like Dave and Buster’s. Just a kid’s barcade.

It’s a hookup joint for single parents.

They’re apparently decently popular on online delivery apps, though they sneakily go under “Pasqually’s Pizza and Wings”

Is it sneaky though? Pasqually is one of the animatronic characters names.

“Pasqually” is also a slightly unusual (but very Americanized) misspelling of a very popular Italian name, evoking a first or second generation Italian-American immigrant from the early part of the 20th century.

And the average person probably doesn’t know the animatronic characters’ names.

I think it started out the former and evolved into the latter. My source is like 3 neurons in my brain that were last accessed 15 years ago so pretty sure it’s accurate.
