These coins are from the old Chuck E. Cheese “Pizza Time Theatre” in the Willows Shopping Center in Concord.
This location, which is now Old Navy, closed in the early 90s, and for many years, Claycord didn’t have a Chuck E. Cheese until they reopened in Park-N-Shop about a decade ago.
Do you have any memories of the old Chuck E. Cheese? If so, feel free to share them.

Took a girlfriend’s kid there once, crappiest pizza I ever had, I swear it was frozen and the crust literally tasted like cardboard.
Ate many pizzas there. Enjoyed many of the video games there when they were a quarter.
Saw a rat so big there you would not believe me if I told you.
I got kicked out of there in ’78 or ’79.
My friend and I rode our bikes there from near NGHS. We just wanted to spend the afternoon playing video games and eating bad pizza. The place was pretty empty and we were having a ball wasting quarters. After about 2 hours, we ordered pizza. Shortly after ordering, we were asked to leave because “our parents weren’t there”. We weren’t running around and making a scene. Just playing Dig Dug, Space Invaders, and Centipede.
We protested that we weren’t causing problems and that we had just ordered and paid for a pizza.
F’ers made us wait outside. We even had to eat outside.
That experience caused me to start my first boycott and I never went back to Fu**y Sleaze Pizza Crime Theater.
45 years ago….Well I’m glad you’re clearly over it now and not still angry.
I managed to hold on to one from when the kids were young… It’s dated: 1999;
so we musta’ partied like…
🙂
I remember the cheese crawl, and it smelled like stale urine. Mmmmm…memories
You beat me to it…..hahahahaha
I remember the cheese crawl well. It used to go all the way up to the ceiling before they blocked it off. Then closed it all together. Good times.
I worked there from 1993-1994 while in high school. I ate a lot of pizza. Fun times
My brother used to work there back in the 90s. Anyone remember The Jungle?
