Showbiz
This store originally began as a Showbiz Pizza Place on May 31st, 1983 (Actual opening date not found yet) with The Rock-afire Explosion.

Tux Chuck and Cool Chuck Eras
In around 1991, Roanoke underwent Concept Unification, and The Rock-afire was replaced by Munch's Make Believe Band, complete with all of the characters including extras such as Building, Moon, Wink, Pizzacam, and Munch Jr. Chuck E. wore his signature black tuxedo and red derby hat. The latex masks were all replaced by plastic masks pre-2003. In the 2000s, Chuck E.'s tux and derby were replaced by a red cap with a black 'C', a blue shirt with a yellow 'C', and khaki shorts (Cool Chuck outfit). The stage had working curtains up until curtains were no longer programmed. Interestingly, Munch Jr. was removed sometime before 2003. Building & Moon functioned until around 2016-2017.

Avenger Era
In Around 2006-2007, the store received a Phase 4 Remodel. Wink was removed around 2009-2010 for unknown reasons and was one of two 3-Stages to do so (The other being West Des Moines).

In Mid 2012, the store received a major expansion which involved raising the ceilings and a new facade that new stores received at the time.

Present Day
Starting in July 2022, the store started the process of getting the 2.0 remodel which involved the removal of the 3-Stage for a Dance Floor & Video Wall. In around Late July 2022, the stage was removed. Roanoke's grand reopening would eventually happen on September 17th, 2022. Roanoke was the last location in the state of Virginia to have the Pizzacam animatronic, and the second last 3-Stage in Virginia.
