I went to a Chuck E Cheese once in my life for a friends birthday. I saw the mascot with its arms out trying to give me a hug and went screaming up the slide. Only to turn around and see the giant Chuck E Cheese mascot head looking at me up the slide. I’ve never liked mascots but I think that’s was the traumatizing moment that really nailed it in😂
Funnily enough having a dull blade is not safe. Having to use that much force to slice a pizza means a much greater risk of it slipping and something going very VERY wrong
My friend worked at a Chuck E Cheese for a year, you can purchase single slices here in Michigan, but sometimes when they made extra Pizza and they took slices from a freshly made Pizza, they would add those slices to the pizza where single slices were served so the customer wasn’t receiving less than what they paid for. They discard pizzas after 25 minutes if they haven’t been sold or touched, I dont know if its like that everywhere else but that is the reason to why some pizzas are janky here in Michigan
@@TheCorruptionCore instead of throwing the additional pizza away, you serve up the slices as singles to sell. ppl can order half pizzqas, dude. sometimes ppl dont pay for their food. sometimes ppl leave their food behindm, untouxhed. you wanna throw it out, be my guest. im more than happy to even give it out for free if need be,
As an actual employee of Chuck e cheese, you got pretty much everything right. I've seen hundreds of pizzas made and all the janky edges just come from the way we cut and plate them. Also, if you ever do see an employee take leftover pizza to the kitchen area, it almost always means that the thank you boxes need to be emptied and they're going to dump the leftovers in one of our larger trash cans in the back. If you ever have more questions Matt, feel free to ask me.
Hey MatPat, just something to help confirm your theory, I was a Chuck E Cheese employee from a few months before the "Recycled Pizza Theory" to a few months after. I was one of the few people in charge of making/cutting and even serving the pizza. I can confirm that we did NOT recycle the pizza. The blade being the cause of the jankeyness of the pizza is true, besides none of us were pro pizza makers so it was gonna look kinda crappy. The reason some of the pizza from the Delivery was cut better is because we did have a circular pizza cutter as well but we were only able to use it for delivery so it "looked better". We mainly just used the rocking blade because we were really busy and needed to get the pizza out Fast. Also, im going to tell on myself a little bit... I did try to bring pizza to the back, however it was not to recycle it but because I had recently become homeless and could not afford to buy food so I would sneak food out as much as I could and if it came from other peoples uneaten slices, it did not matter to me. Anyway, you are 100% correct.
I hope you have a better condition soon. What confuses me is why the company doesn't just say it, like make a good official statement instead of that confusing one
@@sephypantsu it could make sense, but most of the time people will just follow others. If they didn't make a official statement on the myth, people would just stop buying them
@@SceurdiaStudios any publicity is good publicity. any vague answers will just give them more costumers by buying a lot pizza's to show like how youtubers did
What I think might also contribute is that it seems you can order not a whole pizza but just a half, or a pizza with mixed toppings on each half. They rearrange fresh slices, not used ones.
I don’t work at Chuck e Cheese, those don’t exist where I am (I work at Pizza Hut). The implements used by the underage and underpaid staff (that’s a whole situation I’m dealing with right now) are blunt. Part of it is also because we aren’t paid enough to care.

I've always thought the misshapen pizzas was like a marketing strategy of some sort like how Starbucks intentionally misspell customers' names to get free advertising. I just thought it's like that knowing people are used to perfectly shaped pizzas, a misshapen pizza would make them want to take a picture and share it on their social media
As a former Starbucks barista and barista trainer, that’s not a thing. At all. Customers will mumble, walk away too quickly, not give a name, tell you to “spell it however you want”, even give you a joke name on purpose, etc. And a whole lot of baristas can’t spell, don’t listen to the customer, forget right after they asked because they’re super busy, or sometimes they don’t even try to get it right(believe me, I really had my work cut out for me trying to train some people). But yeah, there’s absolutely no policy about misspelling names at Starbucks!
Former employee of CEC, we didn't recycle pizza. We would make the dough in a mixer and rolled it out. What didn't get used would be catalogued and written off on taxes then thrown out. The pizza sometimes looks uneven due to an uneven cut.
Hi Amy (I watched the Disturbing lore of chuck e cheese video before this and just wanted to follow Matt's instructions on saying hi to Amy for being a trooper. Good job!)
Former Chuck E Cheese "Cast Member" here. My manager was the cheapest of them all. If I dropped a pepperoni on the floor, he would take it out of my paycheck, and I was only 16. With that being said, every pizza I made was a new pizza. Each one went through the oven on a pizza liner, was then placed onto a cutting board, and cut by the slicer the employee mentioned in the video (almost every pizza place uses this blade). After it's cut, a metal paddle is precariously placed under the cut pizza, and then the pizza is "jooshed" into a tray with many little nibs that allow air to flow under the crust for cooling. However, they also jostle the pizza slices upon entry, making each piece look uneven and displaced. I had a 14-year old co-worker who used a glove and inserted each piece by hand because the manager would chew him out for poor "presentation." Dancing in the rat suit was therapeutic compared to working that kitchen.

@@hankgaming3 *Considering arcades aren't that common anymore and this video came out during the peak of covid, it makes sense. Tho I get what ya mean*
At some locations, we take the pizza back into the kitchen to throw them away near the dish washing area to wash the tray. So if you see leftover pizza being taken back, it’s most likely because we’re throwing it away in a bigger trash.
I feel bad for Chuck E Cheese for getting all this heat while being innocent, but they should’ve just explained the pizza cutter thing instead of saying their dough is fresh
Yeah!, that would have been easier, but then again, on the internet there´s no guarantee that people would fully believe it. People tent not to trust big large figures.
I mean bojangles (if your from the south and know what that is) REGULARLY recook there fries when people ask for "fresh" fries I have seen it with my own eyes haha
Used to work at Pizza Hut a while ago. We used the rocking cutters too, and it does make a difference, especially if you're trying to rush through cutting six pizzas and throw them in the boxes. Pizzas that were lighter on the cheese or sauce didn't like to stay together nice and pretty, whereas your normal cheese might slide nice and neat from the cutting board into the box. As for dine-in, a lot of the pizzas were cut on the board we'd serve in the dining room (except for the pan pizzas, which would go back in their deep dish pan and on a corkboard) so there was less chance for jostling or sliding. It still happened time to time, of course. Another way these pizza could end up looking wrong is if the crust ended up too thin on the bottom. Not enough support, so slices might cave a bit in the middle and slide inward, giving a jagged edge. All this just comes down to human error. If a pizza was actually frankensteined back together, you'd know. Slices would just taste different on account of reheating. Say you replaced three slices of a pizza with an older one. Because the older slices have cooled down, the cheese now has a different texture. You need to reheat it. But where the old slices will just have the cheese remelt, the fresher pizza will start to burn. In my experience, reheated pizza cheese also just has a bit more of a rubbery texture.
haha in all fairness kinda dumb they force them to use a dull pizza cutter I assume they also slice pecorino with safety scissors seeing as they clearly don't trust their staff to be responsible enough to hold a sharp item
Like MatPat said before. Their response STANK of stale PR response. The kind of almost machine generation response that is made to deflect controversy without actually addressing it. IT's just strange they resorted to that when a perfectly reasonable explanation existed. Unless they didn't want to admit their pizza is so cheap and thin that it's regularly ruined by their own blade ... I guess I can see how admitting how low quality you are would be hard to do.
@@metazoxan2 They wouldn't even have to, would they? If they just say 'We use dull blades for safety of our employees. Perhaps we could loosen our restrictions, but as of this time, no changes are being discussed' Just not acknowledge that the pizza is also partially to blame?
Almost 7 years later and I’ve figured out why the cameras in the FNaF 1 kitchen are out: They don’t want you to see them putting the uneaten pizzas together
I've been to a lot of Chuck E Cheese's, but I've seen only one huge one in my hometown of San Jose, CA. All the other ones were really small. There are so many fond memories there.
Being a former worker at a Chuck E. Cheese, at least at my location, we never recycled the pizzas. Believe it or not we make pizza very similar to how Dominos and Pizza Hut makes theirs. The two former employees are correct about the blade making it uneven. When we had to work 7 parties at once we had to chop the pizzas up insanely quick which made us not even focus on making it even. Also any leftovers food I saw was always put in the garbage.
Aaa just the person I needed.... So do you cut the pizza before baking it? Or after? My brain is still trying to figure out why a baked pizza would get all deformed by getting cut. I mean all baked pizzas I have ever cuted been a whole pizza or a single slice doesn't get miss shapen. And the way I cut pizza would be the reason for miss shaping.
Honter Minjares with the way the more extreme misplaces are I feel like you would see crust on part of the sides and unless they cut it twice the cheese would make it look uncut, so it’s definitely cut after. I believe it’s the cutting utensil, the fact that they transfer what’s holding it twice, the weight of the slices, and when they’re busy they probably don’t have time to worry about the shape that makes the pizza like that.
Imagine you’re doing your job, unloading boxes from your truck when some nerd with a camera appears on the second floor of a building saying “Innocent construction project? or building a sister location under Chuck E. Cheese? Hmmm.”
my theory is that they make pizzas separately and cut them up into a little area where they heat them up a lil and when theres an order they just put them on a plate
It's sad to see Chuck E Cheese going out of business all because they were trying to make the process of cutting the pizzas safer and didn't properly explain that to the public.
We went bankrupt refinanced and now we are doing fantastic we are making money again, we have never recycled pizza except for one store in cali who the GM was fired due to this.
Can confirm, I used to work at a Casey's (midwest gas station/pizza chain) and we used a rocking blade that also made the slices sometimes look kinda janky
3:00 I remember when fnaf first came out and I went to Chuky E. cheeses (for school fundraiser at least 20-50% of their overall income of that day would go back to schools) I dreamt of something like the area in Fnaf Security Breach where Vanessa was telling Freddy he would get a new endoskeleton, it was yellow, dark, blue, with hints of gray, pipes running along walls, in front of you, and something lurking, something behind a glass area (like Freddy’s upgrade station in FNAF SB, it had red eyes, that sometimes glowed different colors, and claws to match thes raspy, almost empty voice, it would lunge at me, those were the days, now for some reason I kept trying to have nightmares, about escaping the SCP facility (I did in a dream and somehow moved onto a Piggy game??) a continued zombie apocalypse story line etc (the SCP escape would take place over 7 years of irl life, crazy, same with Freddy’s E Cheeses) Edit:when I went to Mexico once I went to a Chuck E Cheeses and their pizza was not at all like our American counter part, it look perfect at the time (before pandemic i wanna say 2017? Around there maybe a year behind or ahead)
I have worked in two pizza places. One of them we used a very big blade similar to a pizza rocker. Idk if it actually was a pizza rocked but it did look very similar. This is how it is. I also have a small pizza rocket at home and it’s small, and it can lead to some janky pizza slices. I’ll never not find people’s ability to jump on the bandwagon so quickly without hesitation and stay on it regardless of what comes out, and not bing able to think on anything for 5 minutes, to be absolutely insane. People act like they’ve never gotten misaligned pepperoni pizza from anywhere else. I certainly have and I’ve created and served some of those pizzas. Thank you for putting the time and effort into this. I’ve always loved Chuck E. Cheese’s and have always had a blast there and have always gotten really good pizza. Idk why everyone one always says it tastes bad
Another thing to add to this. Depending on rocker blade size and how it's used could actually mean that some of the crust itself (the area between the slices in particular) are completely sacrificed and therefore end up in a trash bin inside the kitchen - which can answer the differently sized slices too. (Pizza Hut in my area had similar issues with some of their pizzas.)
I always just assumed that they bake whole pizzas, then some people just order 1 slice, or 3 slices instead of a whole pizza. Which means that Chucky Cheese has a bunch of pizzas left with a few slices taken out of them, and then when someone does order a whole pizza they just combine all the pieces they have left so they don't waste a whole pizza everytime someone just orders a few slices.
At the pizzeria where I worked, for individual slice orders, we half cooked and cut a few pizzas ahead of time. Then when someone ordered a slice, we'd top it and cook it again for half the time we cooked a full pie. We never sold an individual slice from a fully cooked pizza. I never knew the method when I ate there before I worked there, but always knew individual slice orders tasted a little different.
@@rickl.461 Some places also just straight up cook separate pizzas for the individual slices, especially if they're popular in whatever town/city the restaurant is in.

The thumbnails to your videos draws me in and I used to hate your videos...but your intro music won me over. It has a great vibe of nostalgia to it. It reminds me of the ninja turtles games I used to play as a child (90s kid) now I look forward to your videos.
14:23 Maybe the employees move each piece individually, and that’s how they get all mixed up. You should’ve tried an experiment where you rearrange the pieces, and see if they fit together like a jigsaw puzzle.
I don’t think they reuse pizza, but I do think they might use a few slices from other pizzas that didn’t fully come out right. If you look at some the crust doesn’t remotely look the same. Idk tho
If that was the case I’d assume that more, if not all, of the pizzas would be mismatched, because I don’t think one employee would move some pizzas individually and some pizzas wholly.
Maybe they tried pulling the slices apart in order to make sure that they were cut all the way through since if you don't cut properly the slices are stuck together
I learned a decade ago, that when you order pizza for takeout or delivery, always ask them to not cut your pizza. The grease doesn’t soak through into the crust, and if you want to reheat the entire pizza, when you get home, you can just simply drop it into your oven and one full pizza and then cut it yourself at home. No more soggy, pizza crust bottoms, or nasty oil soaked pizza boxes in my house!
5:52 if you look at the top pizza that's a pepperoni and look at the bottom right there's a pizza slice and the way it's cut (the line) does not match the shape
Patmat: whats the fnaf timeline? Scott: I cant say Everyone else whating to know ofishle: I COME TO NIGHT THERES NO PLACE KEFT TO HIDE OPEN MINE COME INSIDE
14:04 aren't sharper blades safer? Since there is less chance of having to go back and recut something? Also the difference in pressure required to get a dull blade through something has to matter at some point.
@@sophrosynes6392 It is impossible for every employee to keep quiet even with a confidentiality clause, especially considering that this controversy started 10 years ago.
@@sophrosynes6392 Nah. Cause if employees made this claim, and Chuck tried to go after them, it would lead to an investigation which if they WERE doing this, would lead to big trouble for the company. And if it was true, then the employee they are trying to sue would win.
I took culinary as a student in high school and we were told to make pizzas to sell on our school snack bar when we would make the pizzas they never turned out with pieces literally looking like they don't belong to that pizza.
I swear I felt bad for Chuck E. Cheese after the whole Shane conspiracy video. I know he was just sharing people theories, but his video really brought up a lot of attention, and he never he said anything after Chuck E. Cheese receive a lot of backlash.
I mean yes..? But at the same time CEC released a video showing how they make their pizzas to “explain” why they look mismatched and the pizza in the video was perfect - did not match the dozens of pictures of misshapen pizzas people had served to them online. Kinda shady and did not clear anything up🥴

As a former employee of 3 different pizza chain where 2 of them used the rockers to cut, and one being the standard one handed pizza cutter, the rockers are always super awkward to cut with, and it never made sense to me why they used rockers. Those blades are friggin HUGE
15:56 the problem is that he only ordered 2 pizzas from the delivery place and 8 from Chuck E. Cheese. Since 3 of the 8 were messed up that means that it happens about a quarter of the time. If he only ordered 2 pizzas from the delivery place odds are none of them would be messed up. He should have ordered 8 from each
I worked there in my early 20s, mostly as Chuck-E and Jasper. I never saw pizzas recycled, ever. But I saw customers eat the pizza others leave while they went off to play games. That is a lot more gross, but not the restaurants fault.

At some locations, we take the pizza back into the kitchen to throw them away near the dish washing area to wash the tray. So if you see leftover pizza being taken back, it’s most likely because we’re throwing it away in a bigger trash.
I'm sure if a Chuck-E-Cheese restaurant "rebranded" into a FNAF restaurant it would be like a national attraction or something
I’d go insane for _87_ years.

I feel bad for Chuck E Cheese for getting all this heat while being innocent, but they should’ve just explained the pizza cutter thing instead of saying their dough is fresh
Yeah!, that would have been easier, but then again, on the internet there´s no guarantee that people would fully believe it. People tent not to trust big large figures.
People would complain about the dull cutters if CEC explained the frankenstein looking pizzas
They did. They posted a video of how the pizza was made
I mean bojangles (if your from the south and know what that is) REGULARLY recook there fries when people ask for "fresh" fries I have seen it with my own eyes haha
It's a lie.
Used to work at Pizza Hut a while ago. We used the rocking cutters too, and it does make a difference, especially if you're trying to rush through cutting six pizzas and throw them in the boxes. Pizzas that were lighter on the cheese or sauce didn't like to stay together nice and pretty, whereas your normal cheese might slide nice and neat from the cutting board into the box.
As for dine-in, a lot of the pizzas were cut on the board we'd serve in the dining room (except for the pan pizzas, which would go back in their deep dish pan and on a corkboard) so there was less chance for jostling or sliding. It still happened time to time, of course.
Another way these pizza could end up looking wrong is if the crust ended up too thin on the bottom. Not enough support, so slices might cave a bit in the middle and slide inward, giving a jagged edge. All this just comes down to human error.
If a pizza was actually frankensteined back together, you'd know. Slices would just taste different on account of reheating. Say you replaced three slices of a pizza with an older one. Because the older slices have cooled down, the cheese now has a different texture. You need to reheat it. But where the old slices will just have the cheese remelt, the fresher pizza will start to burn. In my experience, reheated pizza cheese also just has a bit more of a rubbery texture.
This is just making me never want to even look at a chucky cheese again because FNAF is terrifying to me
Imagine being accused of violating safety codes because you tried to be safe

Like MatPat said before. Their response STANK of stale PR response. The kind of almost machine generation response that is made to deflect controversy without actually addressing it.
IT's just strange they resorted to that when a perfectly reasonable explanation existed.
Unless they didn't want to admit their pizza is so cheap and thin that it's regularly ruined by their own blade ... I guess I can see how admitting how low quality you are would be hard to do.

Being a former worker at a Chuck E. Cheese, at least at my location, we never recycled the pizzas. Believe it or not we make pizza very similar to how Dominos and Pizza Hut makes theirs. The two former employees are correct about the blade making it uneven. When we had to work 7 parties at once we had to chop the pizzas up insanely quick which made us not even focus on making it even. Also any leftovers food I saw was always put in the garbage.
Your contribution has been duly noted you will be given extra rations .
yaaay, thanks for the info dude
Thx man
Aaa just the person I needed....
So do you cut the pizza before baking it? Or after? My brain is still trying to figure out why a baked pizza would get all deformed by getting cut. I mean all baked pizzas I have ever cuted been a whole pizza or a single slice doesn't get miss shapen. And the way I cut pizza would be the reason for miss shaping.
Honter Minjares with the way the more extreme misplaces are I feel like you would see crust on part of the sides and unless they cut it twice the cheese would make it look uncut, so it’s definitely cut after. I believe it’s the cutting utensil, the fact that they transfer what’s holding it twice, the weight of the slices, and when they’re busy they probably don’t have time to worry about the shape that makes the pizza like that.

3:00 I remember when fnaf first came out and I went to Chuky E. cheeses (for school fundraiser at least 20-50% of their overall income of that day would go back to schools) I dreamt of something like the area in Fnaf Security Breach where Vanessa was telling Freddy he would get a new endoskeleton, it was yellow, dark, blue, with hints of gray, pipes running along walls, in front of you, and something lurking, something behind a glass area (like Freddy’s upgrade station in FNAF SB, it had red eyes, that sometimes glowed different colors, and claws to match thes raspy, almost empty voice, it would lunge at me, those were the days, now for some reason I kept trying to have nightmares, about escaping the SCP facility (I did in a dream and somehow moved onto a Piggy game??) a continued zombie apocalypse story line etc (the SCP escape would take place over 7 years of irl life, crazy, same with Freddy’s E Cheeses)
Edit:when I went to Mexico once I went to a Chuck E Cheeses and their pizza was not at all like our American counter part, it look perfect at the time (before pandemic i wanna say 2017? Around there maybe a year behind or ahead)
I have worked in two pizza places. One of them we used a very big blade similar to a pizza rocker. Idk if it actually was a pizza rocked but it did look very similar. This is how it is. I also have a small pizza rocket at home and it’s small, and it can lead to some janky pizza slices. I’ll never not find people’s ability to jump on the bandwagon so quickly without hesitation and stay on it regardless of what comes out, and not bing able to think on anything for 5 minutes, to be absolutely insane. People act like they’ve never gotten misaligned pepperoni pizza from anywhere else. I certainly have and I’ve created and served some of those pizzas. Thank you for putting the time and effort into this. I’ve always loved Chuck E. Cheese’s and have always had a blast there and have always gotten really good pizza. Idk why everyone one always says it tastes bad

Another thing to add to this. Depending on rocker blade size and how it's used could actually mean that some of the crust itself (the area between the slices in particular) are completely sacrificed and therefore end up in a trash bin inside the kitchen - which can answer the differently sized slices too. (Pizza Hut in my area had similar issues with some of their pizzas.)

@@edwardanthony1706 Same but only cuz ion live in the US haha
@@edwardanthony1706 me neither and I'm glad
true
I always just assumed that they bake whole pizzas, then some people just order 1 slice, or 3 slices instead of a whole pizza. Which means that Chucky Cheese has a bunch of pizzas left with a few slices taken out of them, and then when someone does order a whole pizza they just combine all the pieces they have left so they don't waste a whole pizza everytime someone just orders a few slices.
That sounds pretty accurate
At the pizzeria where I worked, for individual slice orders, we half cooked and cut a few pizzas ahead of time. Then when someone ordered a slice, we'd top it and cook it again for half the time we cooked a full pie. We never sold an individual slice from a fully cooked pizza.
I never knew the method when I ate there before I worked there, but always knew individual slice orders tasted a little different.
@@rickl.461 Some places also just straight up cook separate pizzas for the individual slices, especially if they're popular in whatever town/city the restaurant is in.
I mean they could have eaten it

14:23 Maybe the employees move each piece individually, and that’s how they get all mixed up.
You should’ve tried an experiment where you rearrange the pieces, and see if they fit together like a jigsaw puzzle.
like Shane Dawson did
I don’t think they reuse pizza, but I do think they might use a few slices from other pizzas that didn’t fully come out right. If you look at some the crust doesn’t remotely look the same. Idk tho
If that was the case I’d assume that more, if not all, of the pizzas would be mismatched, because I don’t think one employee would move some pizzas individually and some pizzas wholly.
Or some people order not a full pizza and they use the rest of the Pizza with other ones
Maybe they tried pulling the slices apart in order to make sure that they were cut all the way through since if you don't cut properly the slices are stuck together
8:55 i like how you stuffed glitchtrap right at the end there.
I learned a decade ago, that when you order pizza for takeout or delivery, always ask them to not cut your pizza. The grease doesn’t soak through into the crust, and if you want to reheat the entire pizza, when you get home, you can just simply drop it into your oven and one full pizza and then cut it yourself at home. No more soggy, pizza crust bottoms, or nasty oil soaked pizza boxes in my house!
That's so much work for just a small issue though
