Hosted a party. It went so amazing. Our Host Marco and Damian did an amazing Job. There attention to detail was outstanding. These young men were very attentive with the food and drinks. The party went very smooth. Communication were very good Food, drinks, goody bags decorations and service was excellent! read more

Garbage. We used to go every Friday and now they dont take the pass. Also, for the size, the games are terrible. Its all about money for them. They took out good games for dumb stuff like win tickets on a roll. Lame. The pizza and salad are so much better in gilroy and Cupertino we will never come back here read more

Pizza. Mostly self service stuff. Lots of people all over the place. Lots of games. Only works when you have mucho dinero. Otherwise get the exercise you need cuz lots of room to roam. But for what it's worth it's a break from the real life. I'll take that anytime!! read more

Chuck E Cheese This is a review for my experience at Chuck E Cheese located on Fontaine Road in San Jose, CA on a Friday afternoon. LOCATION: This CEC is two story and I didn't have trouble locating it. Their parking lot is pretty huge, but it may get packed on a weekend. FRONT ENTRANCE: They usually stamp everyone's wrists for safety, but now they ask that you take a selfie on your phone with everyone in your party. *I would have one person take the photo and just send it to everyone after. HOURS: Sunday-Thursday 11am-9pm Friday 11am-10pm Saturday 10am-10pm FOOD SERVICE/TICKETS: They have a summer pass program that I purchased. I went for the gold member for $90. It lasts until August 29th. With the package on the FIRST day of activation, it comes with: one large one topping pizza two reusable drinks 120 minutes of games (wristband) one cotton candy 60 minutes free play card for a friend (you can redeem it on the same day or save it for another date) With the pass you have 120 minutes of game time ONCE a week till August 29th. *I recommend downloading their app. You can scan your receipts and get points to unlock specials or free game play, as well as free tickets. Food: Pizza is delicious! Came to our table hot and flavorful! Cotton candy is always a favorite too! Drinks: There is a person who will serve you. Just bring the cups and they'll refill it for you. There is no self service. SAFETY/GAMES: This CEC is always clean! Thank you! There are several sanitation stations around the game areas as well. I love all of their game selections! On the second level, it is geared towards the adults. They have Halo, water blaster adventure games, Mario go karts, Jurassic Park, and the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. The ground level is more kid friendly games and games where you can earn tickets. So much fun! I love that this CEC is open! It's two story and there are so many tables available. I also love their prize area! They have awesome toys and cool prizes! *Some things they can work on: 1) Their lines to get to the cashier tend to get disorganized. Maybe have stands and arrows to help clear the confusion. 2) We tried to get some hand sanitizer at a station, but it was empty. 3) I didn't see CEC workers wiping down games or tables during the entire duration of my time there. The CEC was clean, but I think families would appreciate it if they saw a worker actively sanitizing games often. 4) Some games were temporarily out of order or there were some delay in the movements of the water blasters I used. For example for player 1 the shooter worked fine and hit the targets, but when I was using the player 2 blaster, I had to aim higher and move it more to get it to the right position. All in all I had a great time with my family! Thank you for the games, food, and fun memories! read more

Place starting to go downhill..No longer good value.. Greedy owners up the cost of all games from 1 point to up to 6 points. Canceling my fun pass. read more

The kids loved this spot. The pizza is actually surprisingly good. There's tons of games and the staff is very friendly. The one thing that's a bummer about this location is that they are grown ass adults who hog all the games that give the most game tickets. They'll just stay in there and keep feeding the machines not letting any of the little kids play. I'm sure they're doing it to get extra prize tickets for their own kids, but it's just kind of a messed up thing to do. The games are for little kids. I just tell my kids not to worry about it and just enjoy the games. read more

We had great time at Chuck E cheese the past weekend for our kids birthday. Staffs were friendly and very helpful. Our server was Vanessa, she was super attentive and quick; without her the party won't be as smooth as it was. We will definitely reconsider Chuck E Cheese for our next party. read more

Food: YUMMERS! We loved it. It's good. Not sooo good but it's tasty. Pizza delicious. Can't go wrong with pizza. There's a lot of reviews with hair in the food but my logic is "outta sight outta mind" hahah it was bussin Price: uhhh for games and food I felt like I could get 4 lbs of shrimp and 2 lobsters market price for a seafood boil lol BUUUUUUUUT think about the kids! The kids don't know what is expensive (some do) they are here to make fond family memories. I know I did when I was a kid. Games: the kids loved it! Also, all the adults are playing that coin pushers lol there's hardly any kids. My friend and child was hooked on that coin pusher shooter thing that I was playing games all by myself :( lol Overall I think it was a great experience and loved the atmosphere. It was also clean! No greasy games or anything. The workers were nice. Salad bar: it's so small and I'm glad I went early because I see it getting messy and nasty with all the hands touching. Please make the salad bar bigger OR have a designated salad bar supervisor lol it tasted fresh tho! read more

Being a San Jose native, I've gone to this CEC location since childhood. It's an SJ staple. However, my 5 stars is aimed not only to the establishment, but specifically to Francisco, a staff member. During tonight's school fundraiser, he was incredibly patient and kind to my family, being clear, concise and professional every time we interacted with him. He was clear with communication and was extremely polite when needing to work on specific machines we were using and all around made our experience tonight stand out. He even informed us of the different pass tiers to make coming here more worth it, where you can get different tiers for 2 month spans with free plays- something we weren't aware of until today. He deserves his flowers. We've had good experiences whenever we come, but this time was so great, I felt compelled to review. Great job, Francisco! Keep it up. read more

I did not know this is the original Chuck E. Cheese location until one of our friends told us about it. I have never seen a CEC location as large as this one and it's SO awesome! After having been here, I have a lot of trouble enjoying other locations because they're so much smaller and just not as "fun" compared to this one! read more

Being a single mother, a teacher, and just being HUMAN is a freakin' struggle sometimes. Especially in the month of August!!!! Not only was it the month where I was still trying to figure sh*t out with our new life, I also had to move to a different second grade classroom, then I found out the week before school started, I had to move to a fifth grade classroom and learn a whole new different curriculum. Can you imagine all the packing and unpacking I had to do?!?! AND it was also my daughter's 6th birthday. YIKES!!! I bet my blood pressure was going bonkers! I'm surprised I didn't have a stroke! Fortunately, my daughter wanted to celebrate at Chuck E. Cheese. It was pricey since we had something like forty adults and about twenty kids, but I was willing to pay cuz I DID NOT want to have to organize anything!!! It was easy to make a reservation on their website. FYI, deposit is required. Cake was also taken care of, as well as party favors! Pizza and drinks for kids were already included in the package. I could've ordered appetizers with food and drinks for the adults, but I waited 'til the day of the event to order since I wasn't sure how many people were really coming. Big props and a loud shoutout to our party organizer, Josue! Or Josh? Joshua? I am truly sorry for not remembering his name!!!! But he took care of everything! Food and drinks arrived on time! The appetizers were pretty good. I think it was a combo of wings, bread sticks, and other fried stuff. Pizza was oily and salty... but, hey, it was edible! I was too busy socializing to take pics. Oh and my phone was trippin'!!!! Kids and adults had fun playing! He also let us stay at our table for one more hour since our guests were still having fun after two hours. Luckily, our table wasn't reserved to another event for a few more hours. So if you're wiling to spend money, don't wanna organize a celebration for your child AND their parents, and your child loves oily, salty pizza and games, I recommend Chuck E. Cheese for your party's venue. It will save you from a headache. Or a stroke. Well... maybe not after you see the bill. read more

This is hands-down the only Chuck E. Cheese in the bay area worth visiting. I honestly don't know how they are able to maintain this place so well but it's obvious that their team is committed to providing top notch customer service, delicious pizza, and a plentiful salad bar. Also want to comment that the restrooms are clean and I observed the person bussing the tables in the seating areas. She would literally pull out each table to clean behind and under it after each guest. This is better service than even Disneyland (at least as of late)! This place also holds a special place in my heart because I grew up going there. I feel very fortunate to be able to share this place with my little one as she grows up. read more

This is one of the best Chuck E Cheese among other locations in Bay Area. They have lot game and kid favorite stuff. Pizza were amazing and I can give 5 stars compared to those pizza chain. As everyone review the pizza is always best at Chuck E. Cheese and that is true and alway perfect . Lot of table and big spacious to celebrate any birthday events. I will give a "0" for the fries. Extremely small portions for price of $3.99!! The fries was soft and not feel like fries. Feel like fries place in oven to warm up the frozen version . When I order and ask the person how big the portions since no size was displayed. She show me the portions is good for 2-3 person . Chicken wing order for medium and told them buffalo sauce and BBQ sauce on the side. They gave me 2 ranch. Absolutely is a rip off for fries and I guess that is the way to make maximize profit by making a small portion fries . The employees that cleaning the table and sitting area, was extremely great! They really move the table and clean every area in the ground. I have not seen this type of cleaning in other Chuck E Cheese locations. Those cleaning crew should the one that deserves the credit. Game and fun stuff still alway kid perfect place to go to. Hope the food can be improved on the fries and chicken wing!! read more

Chuck E. Cheese - Outside - Pizza Near Me - San Jose, California

The pizza was very good but you have to wait 20 min on the weekday. We also did order ice cream too . The ice cream was very cold

staff was kind of rude. Place was dirty & when we came here and it was a bit packed, granted it was the weekend and lunch time so kids/ staff might have been grumpy and hangry read more

The good: Kids love it It serves pizza There are games It is bright and looks clean under the fluorescent lights The bad: It's expensive (ungodly expensive) It's loud It's overstimulating and overwhelming with flashing lights - be prepared for meltdowns and tantrums Kids don't want to leave The food is disgusting Every game is pay to play and the prices are insane I used to go here as a kid. My mom would tell you it was $4.99 for the salad bar, and if you enrolled in the "kids club" then kids would get free tokens and a free drink. Now everything is insanely overpriced. $150 for 500 tokens is a literal option on their menu. Who pays that? Even worse, after reloading my kids cards twice I was wondering if I should have just shelled out the $150. If you want a once in a lifetime kids experience of going here sure, but it's not worth it for everyday, and I just felt ripped off. Especially after looking at the "prizes" you can redeem your tickets for. I could have bought multiples of the top tier prizes online for less than what I spent at this place for a headache, bad food, a tantrum when we had to leave from my overstimulated children, and some fake teeth. The people were all friendly at least. read more

My beautiful cutiepatootspie said she was bored staying at this establishment. She also mentioned the food was "alright" and "ain't allat" so i highly recommend making the food options available better or expand your menu. Now since she is always right i highly advise you fix these issues and make this chuck e cheese less boring. Id start off by giving out free crunch bars and dr peppers. I'd also recommend decorating this place with lilies roses and tulips to make it seem more modern and pleasing to the eyes. Thank you for reading and hopefully you'll hear me out on these suggesting and follow through with any. read more

Last time I was at this place, was back in the 90s lol. The place was fun, kids all loved it. Everyone had a good time. The food was bland, quite basic. But I understand its a massive chain, that could be why. The service was quick. I like the vibe to the place and would recommend the location. read more

I just had my 4 yo daughter's birthday here and i had a great experience. It was easy to book online. Easy to call to get customer service. On the morning of everything went smoothly and our server was on top of everything. All of our guests had a blast with unlimited play for 2 hours. The games were updated and impressive for all ages. The tickets prizes were generous. All of our guests were impressed with the remodel. We have always liked their pizza and their buffalo wings were delicious! It was a Chuck E Cheese experience I was looking for and they delivered! read more

Chuck E. Cheese - Birthday Party Room - Pizza Near Me - San Jose, California

My kids have been asking to go to Chuck E. Cheese. I haven't been in years. Decided to come on a Wednesday it was just our luck that 60 min of all you can play is $19. You can pause your card if you need to eat or take a break. We played for an hour this location is big but majority of it is eating areas. Most of the games we tried to play were not working which was a bummer because there were quite a lot of people there. They have two VR rides there. No wipes to wipe them off before the next child. When using the card it would say tapped too soon even if the prior game you played was finished which stalled the timing. The gifts are typical of course you need a lot of tickets for the bigger prices but it seemed like only one game gave plenty of tickets but everytime we walked by it was busy. Probably won't be back but not the worse experience. Definitely would have to be on Wednesday when it's cheaper don't think it would've been worth $34/hr play. read more

Good childhood place. Brought back memories but wouldn't come here anytime soon. This is ridiculous! 6 piece pizza with ONE extra topping is 9.81?!? I didn't mind until i realized the pizza was the size of my hand!!! It's awfully greasy and NOT WORTH IT AT ALL. If i knew it was going to be this, I would drive to another place just for pizza. KEEP IN MIND, the pizza was thrown like that onto the plate before the served it to us. Staff are pretty much clueless and it is extremely packed!!! Tooked me twenty five minutes to find parking. In addition, people are awfully rude. Most games are broken therefore we had to look for staff. Games cost 1-4 tokens!! Which is absurd! For two tokens i expect to DRIVE MYSELF. But the wheel KEPT TURNING ITSELF. --------------------------------------------- UPDATE: Two male staff, one named Luis, helped up resolve the game problems with the driving games without hesitation! They were super welcoming and did the job quick! One other male staff helped us solve the problem of the ticket machine getting jammed twice. Didn't catch their names, but that's the staff I expected to encounter when I stepped foot into the place. Not some girl giving attitude. read more

It's not worth to have a party. I have only one host party server and he is overwhelmed and needed help. It was not smooth transaction. The amount I paid for it not worth it. Pizza was cold and overpriced. Did not ask if we needed anything? I ordered the cake on the phone two days after ? The cake was not placed. No I would not recommended this place to celebrate birthday based on our experience read more

This is the best Chuck E. Cheese we've been to. I'll start by saying that we never eat at Chuck E Cheese so I cannot speak to that. However, the entire place appeared to be clean and well kept. We went on a Friday evening and it was busy, but there are plenty of games. Most of them were in well working condition. My daughter was obsessed with the virtual reality game. The best thing about this location is that it still does paper tickets. I get streamlining the ticketless tickets at Chuck E. Cheese.. but it's so much more enjoyable for the kids to be able to see the tickets their getting.. even if it means us parents end up loading them around. This location is about an hour from us but we will drive the distance to go back! read more

This is the origiNALLLLLL! The one most people grew up going to and now taking there kids. So theres nostalgic to this place if you around the bay area! I recent went to this location and it is by far the largest / hugest Chuck E. Cheese in the bay area! It looks like they have added new make over or kept it well. This place has so much space to eat and probably has the most arcades for older kids. Great fun for kids and parents to watch there kids enjoy! read more

Granddaughter was super duper excited to celebrate her birthday at THE very 1st Chuck E. . She's happy. I'm happy. I didn't have to clean up so it's a win win! Food was good. Uriel helped with all our needs. Place was clean. read more

Chuck E. Cheese - Chuck E Cheese in 1977 - Pizza Near Me - San Jose, California

This review is only for the pizza. ~ QUEST FOR THE BEST: PIZZA EDITION ~ #12 in Fast Food Pizza Fun fact: Chuck E Cheese's full name is Charles Entertainment Cheese. Less fun fact: Out of 12 fast food pizza joints my housemate and I hit up on our quest to find the best fast food pizza, this is at the bottom of the list. It wasn't so much that I was expecting better from this pizza, as much as I wasn't expecting it to be as bad as it was. I mean, this place is known for pizza and play. We were originally going to get the cheese pizza, because like, it's in the name, but then we came across many advertisements that claimed Chuck E Cheese's pepperoni pizza beat out Pizza Hut's in a random taste test. We found that to be almost unbelievable, so we got the pepperoni instead. Our skepticism proved to be valid, as it was not only much worse than Pizza Hut (which we had a few days prior), it was literally the worst pizza we had during this quest. The crust is much thinner than I remember, and the quality of pepperoni seems to be pretty low. The cheese is chewy, and has a taste that brings nostalgia, but isn't very good otherwise. To add insult to injury, this medium, one-topping pizza was ~$20. This review goes out to pizza lovers, or anyone who thinks, "hey, I haven't had Chuck E. Cheese pizza in a while." Three words: don't do it. The nostalgia trip is supplanted by disgust and disappointment. read more

Amazing place. Got serve by a wonderful worker by the name of Jessica. Very lovely and pretty. However, I was caught off guard by two workers in the back kissing. I later saw her at the register and saw that her name was Blanca. Very unprofessional and disturbing to my kids. read more

This place has turned into a s* hole. Employees are extremely rude, the space is dirty. Chuck E is plain depressing. Not to mention none of the games has balls in it and only 2/10 games work. It was a waste of time and money coming here. I would not return here. read more

This was the second time in a row we celebrated our son's birthday in this location. We love it, it's 2 stories and has tons of room for big families to order food and celebrate while kiddos play games. There was a gentleman (which I didn't catch his name not sure if his a manager there) he was tall and had a blue shirt on held our cakes in the fridge for us as it was around 100 degrees out! So sweet of them, also gave me matches and free candles! Never seemed like we bothered them at all. Loved it here! Definitely will be coming back again read more

This is my favorite Chuck E Cheese in the Bay Area, and I have visited various locations. This one is 2 stories, so there are plenty of games for the kids to enjoy. At this location, Chuck E Cheese comes out every hour on the :30 mark (10:30, 11:30, 12:30, etc). Its great to see all the kids waiting for Chuck E cheese outside the employee door. When he comes out, all the kids are constantly running and chasing after him. Sometimes Chuck E Cheese will throw tickets or he may do a dance in the stage area. If you have a young toddler, this may be a bit dangerous since the toddler may get trampled over. I like how there is a kiddie ride section and they all cost one point. There are also other arcade games like water gun, whack a mole, skee ball, etc. You will need at least 1000 tickets to get a decent prize at Chuck E Cheese. This location can get packed and crowded very fast. By noon, there is definitely no parking, so I would recommend parents to come early if possible. There are always birthday parties being thrown here every weekend, too. read more

We've been coming here since 2005 and have never had an issue with the wings or pizza. We were enjoying our pizza and wings until we noticed that the wings looked a bit off and tasted weird. I smelled the wing I had just taken a bite of and it legit smelled like rotten chicken. We opened up the rest of our wings with our hands and smelled them and some of them had such a horrible smell that it made us gag from how nauseous we got. We took the wings back immediately to the kitchen staff and we spoke with the manager. He did not apologize and even complained about having to give us a refund. We won't be coming back, if you decide to order the wings make sure you smell them before taking a bite! read more
