Description: ShowBiz Pizza Place was founded in 1980 as a family entertainment restaurant featuring arcade games, pizza, and animatronic performances by the Rock-afire Explosion. After competing with and later acquiring Chuck E. Cheese's through its parent company, ShowBiz gradually rebranded its locations as Chuck E. Cheese's during the late 1980s and early 1990s. By 1992, the ShowBiz Pizza name had disappeared, but its influence remained an important part of the modern Chuck E. Cheese entertainment concept.
