In college me and a roommate would go to a cici's pizza on sunday. We usually got there right before the tball groups came in. So you'd see these 2 20 somethings in line ahead of an entire team of kids, and they would just watch us with concern and awe as we piled our plates high, lol.

My roommate could eat so much pizza I'm sure some of those kids were worried they'd run out.

Honestly, the simplest pleasures are often not inherently expensive

Sounds like Chuck-E-Cheese.

Chuck-E-Cheese doesn't give you all-you-can-eat pizza. But yes, there's a reason it was popular.

That’s literally Cici’s. They have 300 locations in the US.

That implies a wide distribution, but digging a little deeper, about half of their 280 locations are in Texas.

90s energy prices… cooking pizza costs much more now.
