--- Quote from: Jdurg on May 11, 2008, 06:48:45 pm ---Never had a CEC in my area until I was way too old to be going to them, therefore I've never been in one.  For me, the pizza place as a kid was Pizza Hut.  I remember the restaurants being somewhat dark, but having a few arcade games in the corners and pizza + breadsticks that seemed like the best pizza on earth.  For some reason I stopped going to them and then grew up and went away to college, etc.

The other week I saw that the one I went to when I was a kid and loved going to was still open.  So a buddy of mine and myself went there during the lunch break at work.  It was the most horrific thing I've ever seen.  The place had gotten so ghetto and white-trash filled that I felt ill just being in there.  "Women" with 5 kids all in diapers and dirty shirts going to the buffet and basically taking an entire pizza back with them.  300+ pound women wearing clothes that are too small and showing WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY too much for a woman of that size.  Guys in there wearing wife beaters and just looking as if they took a massive methamphetamine hit, beat their wife, molested one of their three daughters, then came to Pizza Hut to shut them up.  It was appalling.  The "waitresses" looked bothered that someone showed up, and it just completely destroyed all good memories I had of the place.  They should just tear it down now.   :'(

the CEC around were i live get alot of business in my location, but really only on weekends.  The games really suck, the pizza is terrible, and its way over priced.  Parents love to take there kids there, i know ive taken them a few times.

If you try, you should definitely be arrested.

A friend of mine and I have gone to it on our own once or twice in the past year or two...  because he likes to check out the arcade machines and try to get one. We had no problem getting in. We're relatively 'young', but at our age we really shouldn't be there.

So weird getting stamped just to walk around and play a game of TMNT, I think it was Turtles in time.

I've hit a lot of pizza places in my youth, wasn't a lot of pizza parlor my parents and I didn't try at least once. Oddly enough, CEC is probably the only place I have never visited... ever. Oh, don't think I didn't try, my parents never took me. Now I live within fifteen minutes drive of at least three of them. Even now, living on my own, any appeal of CEC just isn't there any more. Bad pizza, watered down beer and screaming kids isn't my bag of chips.

It's all a moot point anyways. The hottest place kids want to go to nowadays is the closest to CEC I've ever been to, John's Incredible Pizza Co.. Mass produced from frozen ingredients, JIP has a huge variety of pizza flavors (only place I've ever seen offer Peanut Butter Pizza amongst others) and they do some serious price gouging for their party packs. $8 for their "buffet" and soda plus whatever you pay for their game credits (ATM-like thing for video games) whereas the party pack was something along the lines of $23 per person. Whoop dee ---smurfing--- doo, $23 bucks and we get to use their private 6'x10' party room. Their game room is huge, supposedly bigger than any of the local CEC's from what I hear.

I say that since about the mid 90's, the quality of pizza parlors went to hell in a hand basket. $5 for a medium pizza is cool, but I would like more than six slices of pepperoni, thank you very much.

New locations are still being built all over suburbia here (Ontario Canada). I think it's relatively new here (as in, they started popping up within the last 10 to 15 years).

I wouldn't set foot in there if you paid me.
