It was a nice little place, all things considered. Some cool video games nobody else had at the time (Discs of Tron and Star Trek come to mind). Does anyone remember when Hulk Hogan "from Rocky III" was coming there to sign autographs, I think it was? (Maybe someday somebody will post that Pizza Planet commercial, too! That would be great!) There was also a creepy giant plush alien guy up in the game room rafters, if I remember correctly. Sure it was just another Chuck E. Cheese/Showbiz kind of place in those days, but as kids we were not so picky and it was all good. Pizza, video games and giant singing animal robots, baby. We loved it. Super cool to see this commercial!

[@dizzifulclown_]

Looking at this commercial, something feels... off. The place looks very depressing especially for a Chuck E Cheese/Showbiz Pizza kind of place. The place is dimly lit and there aren't any bright colors. The mascot costume looks sad when compared to CEC's mascot costumes even the older ones when they begun business. The animatronics look off design wise but their movements look slightly better than the CEC animatronics nowadays. I feel like I've been to this place even if I never been there before and it most likely shut down before I was even born.

[@VillagerMan2006]

Actually the place WAS a bootleg Chuck E Cheese/Showbiz the costume looks poorly made and has no eyes. Most likely terrified young kids back in the day. Also the panda named the so called "Pepperoni" looks like there's a murderer inside akin to glitchtrap from Fnaf VR they both look like something William Afton would use. The pizza looks flat and most likely is cardboard which is very un-Showbiz like. The pizza looks like School pizza which is very poorly made and not like other pizza restaurants like Pizza Hut and Domino's pizza. Therefore, the place is a low-budget pizza place

God. This place is terrifying the panda the animatronics the commercial makes it terrifying. I bet the guy in the panda scared some kids playing Pac Man back in the day. I would make a FNAF fan game about this. In a nutshell of the game. The panda would trap kids in the pizza place while they're playing the arcades and stab them to death. The animatronics would eat the kids alive and leave them inside forever. And a 13 year old kid who's 7 year old sister is killed is trying to escape the pizza place. He is guided by the spirit of his dead sister so he can leave. PAC MAN and the ghost also help him. But he must avoid the panda and his robot gang. This would be called Five Nights At Pizza Planet. But Pixar might stop us. But who knows.
