Oddly enough, Chuck E Cheese has been trying to “rebrand” itself since COVID. During the pandemic they actually operated as a shadow kitchen pizza chain and possibly as a result, the quality of their pizza (at least at our local restaurant) has substantially improved, to the point that I would rank it above a couple other nationwide chains. The atmosphere is very different from the dark, grody, funky 1980s rat pizza restaurant, and is now a loud party atmosphere with TV screens constantly blasting kiddie music videos. They’ve shifted their age demographic from “family” to “kids”, and their locations have become much cleaner.
