Gone But Not Forgotten

ShowBiz Pizza Place

1980–1992

Pizza, tokens, and a robot band.

Pizza, a paper cup of tokens, and the Rock-afire Explosion — a full animatronic band that lit up and played a show while you ate. Skee-ball, ticket prizes, and birthday chaos filled the rest. After merging with its rival Chuck E. Cheese's parent, the ShowBiz name was retired and the locations converted by 1992.
