Frequently Asked Questions
What's the story behind ShowBizPizza.com?
ShowBizPizza.com was founded in 1999 and it began with two separate websites - one for Chuck E. Cheese's and one for ShowBiz Pizza (originally titled "The ShowBiz Pizza Place and Chuck E. Cheese's Website"). That amounted to maybe a total of 10 webpages that used 5 or 6 photographs, a few images of collectibles, and some rather poor sound files pulled from old vinyl records. Pretty embarrassing but it had to start somewhere. Along with the birth of this website a small community of fans was also born, which over time grew into the fandom we all know today. With the help and submissions of these fellow fans around the world, we've been able to put together a literal online archive of information. Now there are hundreds of different webpages, a vast assortment of documented info, thousands of photos, a radio station, and so much more!
The website as it exists today is a matter of hard work, dedication, and the nature of our fan community. ShowBizPizza.com is the result of combined efforts - what started out as one fan's dream soon grabbed the attention of others. Many parts of this website were envisioned by others (The Showtape Review, Radio Showbiz, etc) and could very well have been their own stand-alone websites. However due to the friendly nature of the community and the established presence of ShowBizPizza.com, these ideas were collected together under the same roof. So long story short, ShowBizPizza.com is a grouping of separate websites all combined into one - a site made by fans, for fans.
Why does most of this website look a certain way, but some of it looks different?
We are currently undergoing a full remodel to our "version 5.0" style. This conversion is taking place for the foreseeable future so you're probably going to find a few dead links and many 'older' pages. We appreciate your patience through this mess and hope you enjoy the final outcome once completed!How do I submit content to ShowBizPizza.com? What are the submission guidelines?
