History
Tony Cavolo founded Peter Piper Pizza in Phoenix, Arizona in 1973. The first Peter Piper opened in Glendale, Arizona.[1] There are 139 corporate and company-owned restaurants in the United States and Mexico.[2] In 1995, Peter Piper acquired its hometown competitor Pistol Pete's Pizza. In 1992, Peter Piper Inc. was acquired by The Venture West Group. The company was sold again to ACON Investments in 2007. CEC Entertainment, Inc. acquired the company in October 2014.[3] CEC Entertainment, Inc. is a wholly owned subsidiary of Apollo Global Management L.P.
Food
The restaurant offers pizza in a variety of sizes and crust types. Each restaurant makes its dough from scratch each day. Other foods offered include: chicken wings, salads, bread sticks, a cinnamon crunch dessert, and beer at some locations. A lunch buffet is offered as well during weekday lunch hours at a low cost.
Entertainment
Most locations feature a large game room filled with video games, classic games (e.g., skee-ball), slides, tunnels, and toddler areas suitable for small children. Tokens must be purchased to play the games. Many of the games produce tickets that can be redeemed for prizes at the prize redemption counter.
