A restaurant in South Carolina has been accused of reselling Costco pizzas at a 700% markup as 'gourmet Roman-style thin crust pizza'
Diners and employees accused the restaurant of selling $18 to $20 'gourmet' pizzas that were just frozen Costco pizzas that cost around $2.50 each.

The delivery services have been encouraging local places to open up virtual delivery restaurants inside existing bakeries and restaurants for a while now. I remember reading about it. Not surprising the chains are getting in on the act.

Huh, pretty ballsy to deny it when the boxes were found in your dumpster.
a separate issue, but fucking just make pizza from scratch at home. its dead simple.
my wife and I realized the other night we have made dinner every night since lockdown. We used to go out to eat once or twice a week to a local place, but haven't used delivery once since mid-March.

It is, I looked up Doordash's burger places near me and one was the exact same address as the Hooters I know.
This whole thing can be summed up as

1. I like Chuck E Cheese pizza. I think they changed it a few years ago and since then (well, since I had kids) it's been decent but overpriced.
2. I don't understand the complaint. Would it have been better if this was a big national chain but independent of Chuck E. Cheese? You can usually look on a website and figure out if this was truly a mom and pop place or not, it seems odd to me to rely on a name to figure that out.

It says they share a kitchen so yeah, but then like when you buy stuff at CEC are you getting an inferior product even when they share a kitchen? Why order food at CEC then, I don't get having one brand be inferior and still being offered, it's splitting the market.
Chuck E Cheese can't compete with legit pizzerias but their pizzas not bad. I would scarf two pies down if I didn't care about my health.
These assholes do this all the time at my resort. I had to help security once coordinate and hunt down one of these dudes when they slid in without anyone noticing.
And it always annoyed me when guests asks me what pizza place to order from, i tell them all of the great local spots in the immediate area, and even tell them where Domino's is, and then they'll still turn around and order off of these shady ass menus.
Like, I'd have told you to order from those if they were good or not scams!
Ironically a Kroger store near the one I worked at bought Chuck E. Cheese pizza (knowingly?) as a thank you for employees.
That rat comes to work to put Pasqually in his place, every day.
"WHOSE NAME IS ON THE SIGN?! TELL ME THAT, PASQUALLY! WHOSE NAME?! AT CEC, WE DO NOT FUCK WITH THE SAUCE PORTION, I DON'T GIVE A SHIT ABOUT YOUR CREATIVITY! NOW GET ME A FUCKING DOUBLE CHEESE, AND IF I SEE ANY OF THIS 'PASQUALLY'S PIZZA' SHIT ON GRUBHUB BEHIND MY BACK, YOU'LL BE SCRUBBING EVERY BALL IN THE BALL PIT!"

This is exactly my experience. I'm just never going to willingly go these to order the pizza and find out for myself.
This is just all the more reason why I would rather go pickup food myself than to trust Doordash.
Been years but my whole family definitely liked it better than all the chains.
Frankie & Benny's do this in the UK too particularly on Deliveroo and UberEats. Here's an article about the practice.

Why Are Chain Restaurants Using Different Names on Delivery Apps?
Casual dining chains including Frankie and Benny’s and Las Iguanas have begun selling dishes under different brand names on Deliveroo. Consumers, however, often have no idea.

Lol interesting.
Makes sense from Chuck e cheeses perspective. Nobody would think to order Chuckies for delivery at midnight. I doubt they're competing with the local pizza joint, but instead dominoes.
I don't really have a problem with this.

Ya know, as someone who hasn't eaten Chuck E Cheese pizza in literally over 20 years, I'm kinda curious about what it tastes like...
I just want to say, Chuck E. Cheese food wise, has come a surprisingly long way. I hadn't been there in maybe 25 years and then we took my foster kids last year a couple times. I ordered our food And sat down to mentally prepare myself for an extremelyMediocre pizza as I remember them and was super surprised by our pepperoni stuffed crust. I honestly think it's better than a lot of chains for sure.
Not that it matters for this article though.

It's not even sharing a kitchen. Unless they remodeled and expanded there's only enough room for dough rolled out and the fridges only have so much room. So you're just buying rebranded CEC food probably marked up.
Surprisingly I've always heard their pizza is amazing. I know they got a $5 large pizza deal I've seen advertised at my local spot. Maybe I'll try it out.

Can't speak for "Pasqually's Pizza" but we went to Chuck E. Cheese in January for a school fundraiser. It's not total garbage, but don't expect it to be mindbowing. It's average chain pizza at best.
This type of thing is pretty common in Chicago. A Mexican restaurant near me delivers rebranded Italian food. Another place near me is 3 different branded takeout restaurants.
