History

This location was the 16th Pizza Time Theatre location to ever open and the very first in the state of Texas! On opening day this store had a huge ceremony and had Nolan Bushnell make a surprise appearance according to a local journalist who interviewed him at the event. This location also was the very first location to open with the Balcony Stage. Several years later on February 1st, 1987, this location would receive the very first Rocker Stage. Along with that this store was also the very first location to test the Chuck E. Live concept. Using a somewhat articulated Chuck head specially made for the performance. This head’s only movement would be it’s mouth. And in 1997, this store received it’s 2-Stage which is still at the location as of the time of this being written.
