This location currently houses a 2-Stage, and had been a notable store in the 2010's not remodeled since the mid 1990's, and was one of the last stores to have the 1993 Remodel. This store is currently in the process of getting 2.0.
History
Pizza Time Theatre 1981-1993
Opened in September 1981 as a Pizza Time Theatre and had a Balcony Stage. They also had The King, Dolli Dimples, and a few guest characters as well. Sadly, there are no photos of Northridge's guest characters. In 1989 or 1990, they received a Chuck E.'s House Facade which only lasted for 3 years.
Chuck E. Cheese's 1993-Present
Northridge remodeled sometime in 1993 with checkers, record posters, and a brand new 2 Stage. On July 25th, 2023, the store would begin its 2.0 remodel. Northridge was the last location with shelfs from the 1993 Remodel.
Stages
Originally when the store opened, they had a Balcony Stage, as all other Pizza Time Theatres had. They would have the Balcony Stage for several years, until the late 80's or early 90's, when they would convert to Chuck E.'s House Facade, they would have it for a very short time, when in 1993, they would convert to a 2-Stage, which is still there as of October 2022. Chuck E.'s ears are very high up on his head, making it look different, he also wears the rare "Cool Chuck" outfit.
