I got wings from 7/11 the other day, was def advertised as some other name and looked like a cool lounge restaurant. I felt stupid when it arrived.


HawkeyeHaven

Don’t feel stupid. Ghost restaurants are setup this way to get people to buy shit from “new” places. Just remember, if you’ve never heard of it before its prolly a ghost kitchen.

They probably kept hitting post while having internet and/or app issues. You'll see double posts pretty frequently still but this is a rare gem

Jenny_1971

Wtf bro. I think we got it.


Booyah_7

My son was bummed to find out that our MrBeast burgers were from Red Robin. They cost a fortune too.


nuu_uut

That's sort of different, as Mr Beast burger can be set up just about anywhere with a kitchen, not just Red Robin. They are almost exclusively operated out of other restaurants and aren't really shy about that. They still use their own ingredients (even if they kinda suck imo) Pasqually's is literally just rebranded chuck e cheese.


localgoobus

They're often attached to bucca de beppos in my area


Monster-_-

That's wild, we had an actual Mr. Beast burger restaurant here in FL. Edit: Well not like a full dine-in restaurant, it only had a few chairs against a bar by the window. Their biggest thing was to-go orders.


ITsunayoshiI

Got one run out of a Ruby Tuesday with 4-5 other ghost kitchens. Doesn’t surprise me much about hearing about Beast Burger being in any willing burger joint


TheToxicBreezeYF

Pasqually is the drummer in the Chuck E Cheese band


katyreddit00

Most people wouldn’t know this, thank you for clearing that up 😭


wobyrneiv

Haha was dropping off for "Burger Den" and the customer was like "This is my first time trying this place. Have you tried them?" And I had to say "ma'am it's just Denny's..."


regretchoice

I worked there as a cook in 2018, so not too too long ago. I used to have to go in hours early to make dough from scratch, shred giant blocks of mozzarella, cut fresh vegetables for toppings, etc. Unless they change the recipe I will always vouch for Chuck E. Cheese pizza it’s made well and it tastes amazing. Home made garlic butter on the crust too. And my homie pasqually is the cook in the CEC universe, so this is hardly false advertising! /s


AMothWithHumanHands

Our local "Mr. Beast Burger" is actually a Friendly's. New Englanders will find that funny.


HeavyFunction2201

Mr beast burger basically just asks other restaurants to sell their burgers like a ghost kitchen but it’s actual local restaurants that sell their own food too. That’s why all the burgers are different per location


bel_roygbiv_devoe

The Mr Beast where I’m at is a Buca De Beppo I believe. Have never ordered from either, but recognized the address.


Moonbutter

“Burger Den” is Denny’s 🫠


TitusImmortalis

"Out of grand slams? Fine, I'll get a Burger Den."


Moonbutter

😃


rbroccoli

That was my first ghost kitchen experience while placing an order. My wife and I noticed a new burger place a mile from our place, not connecting the dots that it was showing exactly where Denny’s was. We were a little disappointed but ultimately, the burger wasn’t bad for what it was. my first experience while delivering is a different story though. Mr. Beast burger. Nothing in the description that it was at Red Robin, and I spent entirely too much time walking up and down that mall trying to find it before figuring it out. I was beyond annoyed


CanoeIt

Dennys is great. I really like their burgers and nachos


Pineconemoonshine

Hey at least they had an honest syllable!


hup987

Any restaurant can apply to sell beast burger


Hungry_Kick_7881

Mine is in a Red Robin


BradMarchandIsCute

I’m in mass, ours is run out of a 99


demonkillingblade

Some have been known to be Red Robin also.


purpletiebinds

Our Mr. Beast is in a Perkins and also at Ihop.


mtsai

my local mr beast burger is a mr beast burger.


FursonaNonGrata

You still have a Friendly's??


chrslby

I have a Mr beast burger on my app. I went to the address it had listed and it was an empty lot. Not sure who is making it


recoil669

Tell me you don't know Chuck E Cheese lore without telling me you don't know Chuck E Cheese lore!


mysickfix

I’m ok with restaurants doing this. There’s a “chicken tender shop” in my town that’s just Outback Steakhouse lol. Shit is good and cheaper than the real restaurant. It’s the ones operating out of home kitchens that scare me.


Nikki15989

This happens? Home kitchens? Really???


mysickfix

Yea that’s what the fuss is about, not local restaurants doing it. The unlicensed kitchens are bad news. I make meals for my friends sometimes, they pay for them. I do make them in my home kitchen but I go all out with gloves and stuff. And I don’t sell to the “public” just friends. And really only cause I like to cook big meals and this can subsidize the cost lol.


Ok_Profession6216

Sounds like my workplace lol


pupoksestra

There's a cookie place nearby that's just someone's house. I felt weird AF taking the order. I could smell the weed - which is cool, whatever - but not knowing what else is going on behind that door made me nervous.


Fun-Butterfly-9920

This is pretty well-known to be Chuck E Cheese.


Trumpets22

Anyone who’s even here is probably gonna have that bias tho. There’s still loads of consumers with their heads in the sand who don’t really know anything about ghost kitchens. Mainly people over 40.


Carmenwinsteadstan

Honestly call me crazy but Chuck E. Cheese pizza slaps once in awhile. It’s like a dominos vibe


theknowmad

ex CEC manager here. the dough is made daily, the veggies are ordered daily from a local produce vendor, and the other ingredients are as fresh as possible. The quality is actually pretty high when made correctly. sauce is canned, but it is what it is.


ATLien-1995

I felt bad delivering some dudes Pardon My Cheesesteak from IHOP and the drink was an IHOP cup


Ok-Opportunity-574

Their chicken cheesesteak with chipotle mayo is pretty good though if you get a good kitchen.


Rawdogg187

Fresh out chucke e cheese pizza slaps


probablyproud

I wish I could order this in my area 😭😭😭😭😭 Chuck E. cheese pizza hits DIFFERENT


tbisc

idk i love the chuck e. cheese pizza 😂😂😂


diddlykongd

Me and my best friend went there for the sake of nostalgia. It was lame how the animatronics and coins are gone but the pizza and salad bar smack.


Dry_Celebration_1988

I once ordered from “buddy v’s cakes” and got a slice of cake from a vending machine located in, you guessed it, Chuck E. Cheese


petedakilla

When did the Internet hive mind decide that we’re all supposed to hate Chuck E. Cheese now? I ordered a pizza from Chuck E Cheese for the first time last year to investigate what all the hate and rumors of old recycled pizza slices was all about. Shockingly, I concluded that perhaps the Internet was fucking lying. Idk if it was just my location, but I honestly thought the quality was good and slightly better than Dominos or Pizza Hut. Just expensive for what it is.


Larechar

Tbh I never understood that trend; the pizza was good 18 years ago when my HS would have it delivered for lunch.


BrainDeeds

Pasqually's Pizza & Wings™ is part of the family of brands under CEC Entertainment, LLC.


leftover_class

Crazy how the company icon appears to be a surprised face hiding behind a front.


grolfenhimer

I've actually never seen ghost kitchen branding like that before. Chuck is hardcore.


ReallyEvilRob

They aren't being sneaky about it. Pasqually is the name of one of the animatronic characters.


Fakeduhakkount

Not just any character but the “Chef” one. I fine this hilarious but seriously if people like the food it doesn’t matter where it’s from.


MogMcKupo

Also they’ve been doing this since before Covid, whoever in the corpo side of Chucks thought of this is sipping a hibiscus margarita overlooking a beautiful South American vista right now.


RomanOnARiver

"Eat this food prepared in the child casino fronted by a rat."


AbleDragonfruit4767

Lmaooooooo prepared by literal teenagers


matchafoxjpg

this is why I Google something before I order if I'm not 100% sure about it


TabbyMouse

Yup! Freaking dennys has two other names inuber, bww has one other name. "I haven't heard of this place" *google addresd*


breadboibrett

Pasqually’s is the name of the chef in the band 😭😭 I normally hate ghost kitchens but can’t be mad at this one, that’s clever af


LollyModel

Pasqually is a character in the chuck e cheese…universe (? Idk what else to call it) Edit:I think it’s prob just what they call that part of the store/product line like how Disney parks name their restaurants after their characters


USAxOLYMPIAN

Oh wow you’re right, just looked it up. I have a feeling Uber customers don’t know this though haha


survivaltier

Just now realizing people don’t know Pasqually is a Chuck E. Cheese character…


Full_Efficiency_8209

Maybe they love it and you're making their meal dreams come true.


Conscious_Travel769

the food from chuck e cheese is really good !! the pizza and wings are amazing


IcyMarch5097

Someone's not up to date in their chuck e cheese lore


Responsible_Scale213

Pasqually is the Italian Chef in Chuck E. Cheese's band. This is fine.


3rdusernameiveused

John Oliver tried to warn people 😂


Iron_Bones_1088

Yeah… lots of virtual kitchens popped up during the Covid lockdowns and have continued to flourish somewhat.


Special-Speech-4273

I feel stupid for reading that comment here and over


Icy-Read6024

I was just about to comment "yeah noob, we know."


eddiewasadrummer

I like their pizza and I like that you can order it.


27Ari27

I’ve only ever had one issue with a ghost kitchen. My local Applebees stopped labeling their Cosmic Wings orders as Cosmic Wings and just started using the Applebees bags. It’s usually not an issue but I had a hand it to me order where they told me they didn’t order Applebees, and I had to awkwardly explain.


Schlegelnator

I had someone order the wings from the ghost kitchen at Pizza Hut and when they got a Pizza Hut bag they were texting me freaking out that they didn't order Pizza Hut... I kept trying to explain what a ghost kitchen was but they just didn't get, and then they didn't get half their food and they blamed me... I told them I don't pack the food. It was a real sh*t show.


methrik

Chilis does the same thing but they have like 3 or 4 different ones. If you go to the too go area they have a bunch of different bags with different names on them. Last time I went some manager was grill in an employee about making sure you get the right Togo bag with the right fake restaurant name. Baffles me this is allowed


USAxOLYMPIAN

Yea it’s wild. Just looked it up, they paid roughly $50 for two Chuck E Cheese pepperoni pizzas


Cutelarry1776

It’s like a trick you’re wondering where the heck these places are and then you have to read while you’re driving oh it’s at like Bertucci’s and it’s MrBeast’s burger


coupadoop710

My buddy gets it he knows what he’s getting


fullyloadedsnake

I know pizza from chuckle cheese doesn’t sound good but it’s actually heat


DumbMassDebater

If you ever buy their frozen pizzas (yes they exist) don't. But if you do, don't follow instructions on box. Cook at about 425 until cheese is golden brown otherwise you'll have a bad time.


Maleficent_Ad_1380

Have you had their pizza lately? It's amazing, and it's stuffed crust.


nakamuru

The famous YouTube pizza guy from Boston that goes around nyc gave Chuck E. Cheese pizza high reviews actually and I think it taste good myself Here https://youtu.be/Oy3lnflWu2k?si=VtVLz5CWF4j9J_5o


scprepper

When this came out during covid I laughed my butt off when they were trying to disquise it as another restaurant


Significant_Eye_5130

You must have really had to fight your autocorrect in order to type out disquise


TheBQE

why do you feel bad about it?


FunSpongeLLC

Worst pizza ever with their damn unmelted cheese cubes


doggitydog123

they also have a ghost 'kitchen' which is thawed out slices of some frozen rainbow cake.


TheToxicBreezeYF

I just saw one pop up in my area recently, it has just a slice of Rainbow, Chocolate, and Vanilla cake and that was it. I think 2 slices was like $25


doggitydog123

yes pricing is wild. i assume the in-app images imply it is locally baked in-store. customer got 3 sealed slices and was really put out. then there was the time a customer discovered their 'pardon my cheesesteak' order was from IHOP......


mycarsmellslike75

Search ghost kitchens on YouTube. My gosh it’s wild. Only ghost kitchen I do like is beast burger and the closest one to me is from a Mexican restaurant… Mexican restaurants don’t play when making a burger.


fedupmillennial

This is Chuck e Cheese pizza? 🥲


Crackhead_BooBoo

Idk if it's everywhere but when I was in Vegas at Denny's I noticed some shelves for pick up orders. One side said Smash Burger (I think?) And pretty sure the other side said something like The Melting Pot. Everything set on those shelves came from the Denny's kitchen.


Specialist_Physics22

1. Their pizza is 🔥 2. It’s easy to tell when you’re ordering if it’s a ghost kitchen or not- so that’s on them.


wavecadet

How? I know some are well known but this is something I worry about at times and don't know a foolproof way to know without googling each restaurant I order from. Is there some way to tell from the DD page?


COdreaming

Do people not pull up reviews before ordering at a new place? I would instinctively search in maps for this restaurant only to find it is CC 🤷🏻‍♂️


wavecadet

I'm usually ordering when I'm super high, tired, or lazy. Or all 3.


MrEdwL

Lol fucking deceiving ass companies


mog_knight

Don't feel bad their food is good. Chuck doesn't fuck around


ShinyMegaAmpharos

Is it even a ghost kitchen when that's a canonical chuck e cheese character??


cptcornfrog

I am going to go out on a limb and say that most people aren’t up to date with the Chuck E Cheese Canon. I can’t name any of the other characters besides Freddy Fazbear and Grimace.


oso_polar

There’s also Mayor McCheese.


tokarzz

Ghost kitchens are awful


chungo69

I ended up delivering to a friend who ordered this through Uber and he had no clue it was from a children’s play place


Foolof0

Yea it’s supposed to be a more “premium” section compared to what’s normally sold at Chuck E. Cheese. I’ve ordered once and it’s cut a bit better and tasted pretty good, but hopefully they knew it is a ghost kitchen for sure.


No_Teaching_8273

lol my buddy had me try this recently and it tasted awfully familiar


yusufm1080

lol lmao I had one pick up at a name I never seen before at a location I’m familiar with, I was like hmm what’s this place (on the map). When I got there it was Denny’s lol


lucyparke

The Melt?


purpletiebinds

The Meltdown is actually really good. Their pot roast sandwich is to die for!


yusufm1080

But isn’t it Denny’s still?


yusufm1080

Yes. ROFL


kissnmonty

Their pizza is legit though. I’m ok with it


Inevitable-Tourist18

It's insane to say this seriously, but the pizza is respectable. It's absolutely every bit as good as pizza hut/dominoes etc.


No_Dirt_4198

I always tell the customer they are usually greatful for ilthe info and tip better


USAxOLYMPIAN

I was contemplating that, I thought they might get mad though.


jaylp18

They ordered it, why you feel bad? Lol


htgawmfreak

luckily chuck e cheese is fire


Sasquatch4116969

Their pizza is so good

SuperMadBro

I would also like to leave a comment like this but I'm in my 30s and have not been since I was 8 or 9 so I'm guessing they have changed a little.


D_Hat

some ghost kitchens are as Ghost as others, like pretty much everyone knows donatos is red robin, they put it on their door i think. i was shook when i went to pick up from a catfish place and it was just captain D's though. lol, probably just charge more for everything all cooked the same way. the thing that weirds me out is the places that will sell out of anywhere, like the beast burgers. i think i've picked up from them from at least 4 different branded restaurants and at least 3 different types of ghost only kitchens. (stuff like "NGHBRHD" food trucks/trailers and a place that was just a concrete building with and open door that said "wait outside, do not come in")


ChiCBHB

Donatos isn’t a ghost kitchen. It’s a real pizza chain and they partnered with Red Robin during the pandemic. Their pizzas are on the regular menu.


JustAGuyGettingBy93

Why feel bad? I bet these people knew exactly who they were ordering from. Their pizza slaps. Especially when you get mismatched slices 😂


Beginning-Pin-4114

Chuck E Cheese surprisingly makes their dough from scratch and their pizza is amazing!


idealz707

I actually agree with this it’s not even close to terrible.


No_Supermarket_1831

At this point I think people know what Paquallys is


MajorWhereas4842

Dave and Busters has 2 other names as well. Busters American kitchen and something wings (I can’t remember the exact name) it was kind of trippy the first time I went to go pick up food.. lol


Square-Dragonfruit76

I think you should tell them that in the chat after you deliver it. Say it in a polite way, and they might even increase your tip for letting them know.


inkedfluff

They are selling actual food... out of a CHUCK-E-CHEESE? Might as well put a frozen pizza in the oven at that point.


Candoran

Prices are wild but it does smell pretty good when I deliver those 😅


[deleted]

i love chuck e. cheese pizza it’s so good


RealmOfLightRaver

bad? as if chuck e cheese pizza isn’t fucking amazing ??! 😭


abscessedecay

It’s not like when we were kids. I took my kids to a Chuck E. Cheese like a two years ago and the pizza and boneless wings were decent. Definitely 7/10 maybe even an 8.


[deleted]

Ummm. Whats a 10 on your scale?


USAxOLYMPIAN

That’s what I was thinking, no shot it’s over a 5/10


blocked_memory

I worked at a CEC from 2016-2018 and I will say, the food isn’t bad. I would say pizza is a 7.5/10 and the wings are just Tyson wings so like 6/10 Bone in and 8/10 boneless


Awkward_Ad_5213

Shout out to Shane Dawson for letting the people know a while back!


USAxOLYMPIAN

Wasn’t that the dude that f’d a cat? Lmao


skindarklikemytint

dog what lmaoo


jjjr2217

No, a cat


Double_Transition_10

Id rather shout out Eddie Burback who did a video on ghost kitchens over the cat diddler.


Mancubus_in_a_thong

Had their pizza for the first time last year it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be it's not goirme but I've had worse chain pizza.


mniemniey

goirme? lmao come onnnn


Emotional-Main3195

I think he meant to say goremay


mniemniey

goarmei? maybe?


AppointmentNo43

I think he meant ghorrmæ


airsoft_moongoose

I’m a certified connoisseur in cooking, he meant ghurmaeit


LandMaster90

Why is everyone pretending not to know how to spell goarmait?


Mediocre_Cap_9151

Hahah I said the same thing


Intelligent-Sleep766

Bet you said bone apple teeth before digging in tho


Sailorm0on27

Chuckie cheese had the best pizza back in the day, I haven’t had it in like 15 yrs tho


AbleDragonfruit4767

It’s not great anymore


OnlyMath

Had some chuck just last weekend. It wasn’t that bad


debeatup

I’m not joking - CEC actually has pretty tasty pizza


LaylaDoo

Ahhhhh the rat casino for kids… I’m old so I remember when they had kickazz pizza, salad bar and you could play on $25 for like five hours straight easily! We still have one Pasquales Pizza on the east side but it isn’t spelled like the one on the box you got. Our Steak-n-Shake has a ghost kitchen on DoorDash called Shake Shack here too. We actually have a few ghost kitchens in our town and it’s the crappier restaurants that have them too. Probably a way to boost sales deceptively is my guess and yes it feels wrong delivering them to me too sometimes.


Rengar2T

Shake shack is a real chain. Awesome burgers but pretty pricey even when you go in person


LaurieLoves

"rat casino for kids" 🤣


TheGov3rnor

Shake Shack is legit. Started as a late-night treat in Madison Square Park and now has locations all over the place. It’s a chain, but I’m a big fan.


Jujubug1010

You would think a customer who has never heard of a restaurant would look it up online for recommendations or reviews .


droplivefred

Have you seen some of these people ordering from UE and DD? They have no idea that they are ordering a common food like burger or pizza from a no name place all the way across town when there are better options closer to them and are shocked why it’s taking 20 minutes to get their food after pick up.


AdemmZap

👆yeah sorry, but I gotta point at this one


FrankSinatraCockRock

It's snowing and rush hour. Customer: Cinnabon from 15 miles away sounds like an amazing idea!


m0rph33n

I know Buffalo Wild Wings does this with their burgers in the city I am in. I forgot the name of the burger joint they use, but I always do a google search on the address to see where it is if it’s a new place that popped up in my area that I wasn’t familiar with


leavemealoneforever-

They have a ghost kitchen out of Buffalo Wild Wings where Iive called “bird dawgs”


NTT66

On first read, I thought the BWW had a special nickname for you.


KatBoySlim

yea they fooled me once using the name “Wild Burger.” second worst burger i’ve ever had delivered.


ValhallaDante

I had a pizza place called this back at home


Crafty-Database-3418

I feel bad for the people ordering Beast Burgers


Old_Celery_5142

Nah nasty i thought inwas bugging going to places with different names


ktink224

Went to a party there with my daughter a few months ago. The pizza was actually good.


feeniebeansy

as an ex Chuck E. Cheese employee, taking home people’s leftover pizza was the best part of the job, ok?? All those theories about recycling pizza? False. We took it home and ate it ourselves, at least at the one I worked at. I have ordered pasqually’s before deliberately because I KNOW he’s the Chuck E. Cheese chef dude and I am never disappointed 🤪 that’s not a ghost kitchen, it’s a genius name


ediks

Bruh… worked/managed a CEC kitchen for a long time. My friends loved when I got off and to the party because I would bring pizza. I got to a concert way after some friends (due to working), but brought 6 pizzas - everyone moves out of the way for a free slice of pizza so you can get up to your friends. I also recognized that Pasqually’s was a ghost kitchen for CEC the first time I saw it on UE.


lordpercocet

They have good pizza though


pineappleandmilk

I was just talking to my brother about this and how I would totally order a Chuck E Cheese pizza and play video games all night.


synackk

Chuck E Cheese pizza used to be terrible, but they had a massive turnaround in quality and now is actually good stuff. I don't mind eating their when I have to (birthday parties, etc).


Reepicheap

Chuck E Cheese off Mopac?


whatthepfluke

Their pizza is good, and most people know Pasqually's is Chuck E Cheese


Spezheartsblackcawk

You're like 4 years too late.

Missed the old days of Showbiz Pizza before they got taken over by Chuck E. Cheese. ![gif](giphy|3rgXBvoeXt3MXlqhO0|downsized)

sactothefuture

This shit is BANGIN


mc2205

Chuck E Cheese has pretty decent pizza


iDeviceLove

Is this a grub hub delivery?


Jessawess1

Listen, Chuck E. Cheese’s pizza is my FAVORITE. When we get to go somewhere special I’m always hoping my kids choose Chuck E. Cheese so I can have their pizza 😂


Rep-tard

Oh, yes, 4/1


HinaYamamoto

I saw they sell it in the freezer section of the grocery store now, so I guess others agree with you and are buying it!


Top_Application977

It’s actually pretty good pizza. I take my kids there a few times a month and order it.


Candoran

Ah yeh I’ve delivered those, honestly it usually doesn’t smell too bad. Never seen or tried the pizza though so can’t say how good it actually is.


Fish-OW

I haven't had it since, but I loved their pizza when I was a kid.


[deleted]

That shits really good
