Restaurants have pivoted to delivery and takeout options while stay-at-home orders due to the coronavirus otherwise keep their doors closed. Chuck E. Cheese, it seems, is no exception.
Philadelphia resident Kendall Neff, who goes by kendallneff on Reddit, shared a text message exchange with a driver from the food delivery site last month after becoming suspicious of an order. “There were a ton of restaurants recently added to our delivery zone,” Neff said. “After I placed the order I decided to Google the restaurant to see reviews there, but nothing with that name came up in my search. I was intrigued and had my husband search the address in Google Maps ― to our surprise there was no Pasqually’s there, but there was a Chuck E. Cheese.”“He said, ‘Guess what? Pasqually is the name of the animatronic chef that’s in the Chuck E. Cheese stage band!’” she said.
This time, the proof seems to be in the pepperoni. There are various “Pasqually’s” listed on the Grubhub website, each sharing an address with a Chuck E. Cheese. Food & Wine confirms that the name Pasqually belongs to the “fictional chef in the Chuck E. Cheese universe.” She said she was a bit disappointed that her local efforts did not help a small business, and that it was in fact the same Chuck E. Cheese pizza she remembers eating before, but that she and her family “ate the pizza happily” even though it was a “little less delicious eating it in my living room rather than in all the excitement of the games and music at Chuck E. Cheese.”
Yeah that right there is enough to throw ya for a loop alright.
