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.www.businessinsider.com
I'm not saying they "tricked" people into buying their pizza but I doubt the average person knows they're connected.
It is, I looked up Doordash's burger places near me and one was the exact same address as the Hooters I know.
Can't be that "premium" if someone immediately fingered it as Chuck E Cheese pizza.
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.There's no fucking way it's any different than their regular pizza and wings.
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.There used to be a common scam in the Orlando tourist area where someone would print out a TON of cheap pamphlets and throw them under resort doors. They'd offer pizza and drink choices and look like a legit small business in the area. Then when a foreign tourist or trusting American ordered the pizza they'd get their credit card info stolen. At best you'd get a shitty, cheap, frozen pizza in a box warmed up and at worst you'd get nothing.
Ironically a Kroger store near the one I worked at bought Chuck E. Cheese pizza (knowingly?) as a thank you for employees.MIldly problematic, not on the level of the places that are selling frozen pizza from Kroger.

This whole thing can be summed up as
This is exactly my experience. I'm just never going to willingly go these to order the pizza and find out for myself.I don't remember, is the pizza bad or good, as a kid I felt like it was amazing, now people tell me its complete shit and always was.

Deliveroo's virtual brand scheme, which was introduced 2017 and has recently been embraced by high street restaurants, makes everything a lot more complicated. The scheme enables restaurants to create online-only brands ("virtual restaurants," if you will), with many of them selling the same dish, made in the same kitchen but under a different name. UberEats also boasts numerous virtual brands and JustEat was apparently eyeing up the idea in October.
It feels dishonest in a sense. People should know the actual restaurant they're getting their food from.
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.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?

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.
