Cheese grew up in an orphanage called St. Marinara's. Because he was an orphan, Chuck did not know his own birthday, but loved celebrating the birthdays of the other orphans in the orphanage - he loved music and games, and he especially loved singing “Happy Birthday,” even though he'd never heard it sung to himself.

Chuck E. Cheese (formerly known as Chuck E. Cheese's Pizza Time Theatre, Chuck E. Cheese's Pizza and simply Chuck E. Cheese's) is an American children's family entertainment center chain founded in 1977 by Atari's co-founder Nolan Bushnell.

Charles Entertainment Cheese Cheese's full name is "Charles Entertainment Cheese."

Chuck E. Cheese is the world's largest family entertainment chain brand with over 600 locations in over 16 different countries/territories and counting.

Chuck E. Cheese was originally created by Atari cofounder Nolan Bushnell to serve as the cigar-chewing mascot at Pizza Time Theatre in 1977. Chuck E. Cheese grew into a beloved chain, known in the '90s and early 2000s for its prize tokens, pizza, and animatronic performances.

The change in animatronic design for the new "Chuck E' Cheeses" locations is due to a shift in the brand's image and target audience. The company has been going through a rebranding process to appeal to a more modern and sophisticated audience.

There's a lot of talk about making dough fresh at the restaurant. What's the big deal? Simply put, making dough from scratch with traditional methods makes for a more flavorful and authentic pizza crust! Every pizza is hand-crafted by our “sauce bosses” made-to-order and is cut by hand, fresh out of the oven.
