Hey MatPat, just something to help confirm your theory, I was a Chuck E Cheese employee from a few months before the "Recycled Pizza Theory" to a few months after. I was one of the few people in charge of making/cutting and even serving the pizza. I can confirm that we did NOT recycle the pizza. The blade being the cause of the jankeyness of the pizza is true, besides none of us were pro pizza makers so it was gonna look kinda crappy. The reason some of the pizza from the Delivery was cut better is because we did have a circular pizza cutter as well but we were only able to use it for delivery so it "looked better". We mainly just used the rocking blade because we were really busy and needed to get the pizza out Fast. Also, im going to tell on myself a little bit... I did try to bring pizza to the back, however it was not to recycle it but because I had recently become homeless and could not afford to buy food so I would sneak food out as much as I could and if it came from other peoples uneaten slices, it did not matter to me. Anyway, you are 100% correct.
I hope you have a better condition soon. What confuses me is why the company doesn't just say it, like make a good official statement instead of that confusing one
@@sephypantsu it could make sense, but most of the time people will just follow others. If they didn't make a official statement on the myth, people would just stop buying them
@@SceurdiaStudios any publicity is good publicity. any vague answers will just give them more costumers by buying a lot pizza's to show like how youtubers did
I went to a Chuck E Cheese once in my life for a friends birthday. I saw the mascot with its arms out trying to give me a hug and went screaming up the slide. Only to turn around and see the giant Chuck E Cheese mascot head looking at me up the slide. I’ve never liked mascots but I think that’s was the traumatizing moment that really nailed it in😂
As an actual employee of Chuck e cheese, you got pretty much everything right. I've seen hundreds of pizzas made and all the janky edges just come from the way we cut and plate them. Also, if you ever do see an employee take leftover pizza to the kitchen area, it almost always means that the thank you boxes need to be emptied and they're going to dump the leftovers in one of our larger trash cans in the back. If you ever have more questions Matt, feel free to ask me.
I always just assumed that they bake whole pizzas, then some people just order 1 slice, or 3 slices instead of a whole pizza. Which means that Chucky Cheese has a bunch of pizzas left with a few slices taken out of them, and then when someone does order a whole pizza they just combine all the pieces they have left so they don't waste a whole pizza everytime someone just orders a few slices.
At the pizzeria where I worked, for individual slice orders, we half cooked and cut a few pizzas ahead of time. Then when someone ordered a slice, we'd top it and cook it again for half the time we cooked a full pie. We never sold an individual slice from a fully cooked pizza. I never knew the method when I ate there before I worked there, but always knew individual slice orders tasted a little different.
@@rickl.461 Some places also just straight up cook separate pizzas for the individual slices, especially if they're popular in whatever town/city the restaurant is in.
Imagine you’re doing your job, unloading boxes from your truck when some nerd with a camera appears on the second floor of a building saying “Innocent construction project? or building a sister location under Chuck E. Cheese? Hmmm.”
Funnily enough having a dull blade is not safe. Having to use that much force to slice a pizza means a much greater risk of it slipping and something going very VERY wrong
14:23 Maybe the employees move each piece individually, and that’s how they get all mixed up. You should’ve tried an experiment where you rearrange the pieces, and see if they fit together like a jigsaw puzzle.
I don’t think they reuse pizza, but I do think they might use a few slices from other pizzas that didn’t fully come out right. If you look at some the crust doesn’t remotely look the same. Idk tho
If that was the case I’d assume that more, if not all, of the pizzas would be mismatched, because I don’t think one employee would move some pizzas individually and some pizzas wholly.
Maybe they tried pulling the slices apart in order to make sure that they were cut all the way through since if you don't cut properly the slices are stuck together
I worked there in my early 20s, mostly as Chuck-E and Jasper. I never saw pizzas recycled, ever. But I saw customers eat the pizza others leave while they went off to play games. That is a lot more gross, but not the restaurants fault.
My friend worked at a Chuck E Cheese for a year, you can purchase single slices here in Michigan, but sometimes when they made extra Pizza and they took slices from a freshly made Pizza, they would add those slices to the pizza where single slices were served so the customer wasn’t receiving less than what they paid for. They discard pizzas after 25 minutes if they haven’t been sold or touched, I dont know if its like that everywhere else but that is the reason to why some pizzas are janky here in Michigan
@@TheCorruptionCore instead of throwing the additional pizza away, you serve up the slices as singles to sell. ppl can order half pizzqas, dude. sometimes ppl dont pay for their food. sometimes ppl leave their food behindm, untouxhed. you wanna throw it out, be my guest. im more than happy to even give it out for free if need be,
I swear I felt bad for Chuck E. Cheese after the whole Shane conspiracy video. I know he was just sharing people theories, but his video really brought up a lot of attention, and he never he said anything after Chuck E. Cheese receive a lot of backlash.
I mean yes..? But at the same time CEC released a video showing how they make their pizzas to “explain” why they look mismatched and the pizza in the video was perfect - did not match the dozens of pictures of misshapen pizzas people had served to them online. Kinda shady and did not clear anything up🥴
Maybe the thinking something theory Its where you think you think you'll get sick and you really will Theres an experiment of the fake medicine and real ones something something My Point Just maybe you think you were gonna get sick and you did Or just you got sick of something else
Former Chuck E Cheese "Cast Member" here. My manager was the cheapest of them all. If I dropped a pepperoni on the floor, he would take it out of my paycheck, and I was only 16. With that being said, every pizza I made was a new pizza. Each one went through the oven on a pizza liner, was then placed onto a cutting board, and cut by the slicer the employee mentioned in the video (almost every pizza place uses this blade). After it's cut, a metal paddle is precariously placed under the cut pizza, and then the pizza is "jooshed" into a tray with many little nibs that allow air to flow under the crust for cooling. However, they also jostle the pizza slices upon entry, making each piece look uneven and displaced. I had a 14-year old co-worker who used a glove and inserted each piece by hand because the manager would chew him out for poor "presentation." Dancing in the rat suit was therapeutic compared to working that kitchen.
wait, u could work as a 16 yo and 14 yo? in my country, ur boss could go to jail for employing minors. it applies not only for full time job but also for part time job....
Just fyi, if you were on minimum wage taking money out of paychecks is mega illegal. Also depending on where you are, taking money out for any reason or not for short till related can be illegal.

I feel bad for Chuck E Cheese for getting all this heat while being innocent, but they should’ve just explained the pizza cutter thing instead of saying their dough is fresh
Yeah!, that would have been easier, but then again, on the internet there´s no guarantee that people would fully believe it. People tent not to trust big large figures.
I mean bojangles (if your from the south and know what that is) REGULARLY recook there fries when people ask for "fresh" fries I have seen it with my own eyes haha
Being a former worker at a Chuck E. Cheese, at least at my location, we never recycled the pizzas. Believe it or not we make pizza very similar to how Dominos and Pizza Hut makes theirs. The two former employees are correct about the blade making it uneven. When we had to work 7 parties at once we had to chop the pizzas up insanely quick which made us not even focus on making it even. Also any leftovers food I saw was always put in the garbage.
Aaa just the person I needed.... So do you cut the pizza before baking it? Or after? My brain is still trying to figure out why a baked pizza would get all deformed by getting cut. I mean all baked pizzas I have ever cuted been a whole pizza or a single slice doesn't get miss shapen. And the way I cut pizza would be the reason for miss shaping.
Honter Minjares with the way the more extreme misplaces are I feel like you would see crust on part of the sides and unless they cut it twice the cheese would make it look uncut, so it’s definitely cut after. I believe it’s the cutting utensil, the fact that they transfer what’s holding it twice, the weight of the slices, and when they’re busy they probably don’t have time to worry about the shape that makes the pizza like that.
I love that this theory was primarily successful because of the extremely specific set of circumstances that is COVID in 2020. What an amazing development
@@andyhodges4054 well, if you've every had pizza at home and left the leftovers for tomorrow, you'd know that freezing pizza and then reheating it just makes everything a little dull and it just doesn't taste the same so if chuck e cheese were to do that i feel like it would be easy to tell ok this was a bit long sorry for rambling lol
It's sad to see Chuck E Cheese going out of business all because they were trying to make the process of cutting the pizzas safer and didn't properly explain that to the public.
We went bankrupt refinanced and now we are doing fantastic we are making money again, we have never recycled pizza except for one store in cali who the GM was fired due to this.
@@craplocker2 anyone that's been to Reddit knows how quickly people will lie right onto a bandwagon for karma. Not saying everyone lied but it's impossible that there were clout-chase-liars
I've always thought the misshapen pizzas was like a marketing strategy of some sort like how Starbucks intentionally misspell customers' names to get free advertising. I just thought it's like that knowing people are used to perfectly shaped pizzas, a misshapen pizza would make them want to take a picture and share it on their social media
As a former Starbucks barista and barista trainer, that’s not a thing. At all. Customers will mumble, walk away too quickly, not give a name, tell you to “spell it however you want”, even give you a joke name on purpose, etc. And a whole lot of baristas can’t spell, don’t listen to the customer, forget right after they asked because they’re super busy, or sometimes they don’t even try to get it right(believe me, I really had my work cut out for me trying to train some people). But yeah, there’s absolutely no policy about misspelling names at Starbucks!
aside from the starbucks thing not being true, the pizza would be way worse publicity. misspelled writing on the side of the cup has a very different impression on customers than the actual food being weird
I work at Chuck E. Cheese and I’ve literally never seen this happen I make the pizzas. I can confirm that we make the dough every single week and we get new ingredients bi weekly. This theory might have spawned from stores that run at a lower standard.
I don’t work at Chuck e Cheese, those don’t exist where I am (I work at Pizza Hut). The implements used by the underage and underpaid staff (that’s a whole situation I’m dealing with right now) are blunt. Part of it is also because we aren’t paid enough to care.
i was gonna say, plenty of pizza I've had other places don't line up either especially at Pizza Hut. it's pretty normal. hope you found another job like you were looking for!!
Hi Amy (I watched the Disturbing lore of chuck e cheese video before this and just wanted to follow Matt's instructions on saying hi to Amy for being a trooper. Good job!)
At some locations, we take the pizza back into the kitchen to throw them away near the dish washing area to wash the tray. So if you see leftover pizza being taken back, it’s most likely because we’re throwing it away in a bigger trash.
haha in all fairness kinda dumb they force them to use a dull pizza cutter I assume they also slice pecorino with safety scissors seeing as they clearly don't trust their staff to be responsible enough to hold a sharp item
I can’t describe how happy I was to hear the name Chuck E. Cheese again. the reusing slices sounded weird to me, when the video started I had my own weird theory. Basically, if someone asks for 1 slice of pizza, you will have like 9 pieces to be used for other customers, maybe waiting somewhere. Then, if someone wanted a whole pizza, you’d get different slices of pizza on each one. Which would save money because you aren’t making whole pizzas and hoping someone buys the whole thing. I mean, I was wrong but this made sense to me. It’s like apples. There’s gonna be different apples from different apple trees. Just the same type of apples, nobody is reusing apples. You just saved a fraction of apples from that tree. Great goodness I don’t have to worry about Chuck E. Cheese pizza. That stuff was really really good and the cheese was stretchy like ninja turtles pizza. Mm mm mm. I want some pizza now.
I think they have combined fresh slices from different pizzas. You can order a single slice, right? Let's say there are 8 slices in a pizza. If a table of 5 all orders one slice, you have 3 leftover. If this happens at 3 tables, you now have enough to combine the extras into one full pizza. Rather than wait for individuals to eat the extra slices, they can use them to create a new pizza while they are still fresh.
That's what I was thinking, but the fact that the dine-in was removed from the equation (thanks COVID) throws that theory out the window. You can only order single slices if you eat there, not for takeout.
@@DragonAurora yes but if 8 people order single slices, they can just make a normal pizza then make each slice go to a certain person. They prolly did do that bevfore tho. It's just more efficient.
Used to work at Pizza Hut a while ago. We used the rocking cutters too, and it does make a difference, especially if you're trying to rush through cutting six pizzas and throw them in the boxes. Pizzas that were lighter on the cheese or sauce didn't like to stay together nice and pretty, whereas your normal cheese might slide nice and neat from the cutting board into the box. As for dine-in, a lot of the pizzas were cut on the board we'd serve in the dining room (except for the pan pizzas, which would go back in their deep dish pan and on a corkboard) so there was less chance for jostling or sliding. It still happened time to time, of course. Another way these pizza could end up looking wrong is if the crust ended up too thin on the bottom. Not enough support, so slices might cave a bit in the middle and slide inward, giving a jagged edge. All this just comes down to human error. If a pizza was actually frankensteined back together, you'd know. Slices would just taste different on account of reheating. Say you replaced three slices of a pizza with an older one. Because the older slices have cooled down, the cheese now has a different texture. You need to reheat it. But where the old slices will just have the cheese remelt, the fresher pizza will start to burn. In my experience, reheated pizza cheese also just has a bit more of a rubbery texture.
Like MatPat said before. Their response STANK of stale PR response. The kind of almost machine generation response that is made to deflect controversy without actually addressing it. IT's just strange they resorted to that when a perfectly reasonable explanation existed. Unless they didn't want to admit their pizza is so cheap and thin that it's regularly ruined by their own blade ... I guess I can see how admitting how low quality you are would be hard to do.
@@metazoxan2 They wouldn't even have to, would they? If they just say 'We use dull blades for safety of our employees. Perhaps we could loosen our restrictions, but as of this time, no changes are being discussed' Just not acknowledge that the pizza is also partially to blame?
It’s good that the theory was chalked up to the restaurant just having dull blades, causing a janky appearance… but it’s actually not. Dull blades as a “safety policy” cause more harm than good. Any one that’s ever taken classes on cooking or been taught the basics of kitchen safety knows that the number 1 rule about blades is to NEVER use a dull blade because the extra pressure and force it takes to cut the food with it can lead to more slip ups, and deeper, more lethal mistakes.
So I've worked at chucke cheeses between 2017-2019 at the miamisburg ohio location, we never used pizza that was on a table or touched by patrons. Now when the dining room was opened we used some pizzas such as if someone asked for half a pizza and we served half a pizza we would just set another half pizza with it, they were both fresh made and never had interaction with a customer. Now also like said in the video, we used some janky unsharpened blades to cut it, it was like trying to cut a pizza with a steel bar. It destroyed that pizza
What I think might also contribute is that it seems you can order not a whole pizza but just a half, or a pizza with mixed toppings on each half. They rearrange fresh slices, not used ones.
I think they originally hid the pizza station from view to preserve the "magic" of Chuck E Cheeses, but I think this would be a great design idea if there's ever an arcade-pizzeria revival.
My personal theory was that they just sold single slices and if someone ordered a pie they’d sometimes combine partially disassembled pies. Seems like that’s not the case but that’s what my initial thought would have been way before “they recycle the slices”.
i used to work at a pizza place and we did that a lot. if we didn't have time to fulfill the demand, we would sometimes take pizzas we sold single slices from, slap them together to make a whole pizza, box them and sell them for a slight discount. sometimes we wouldn't even discount them tho, but that's not really the point lol
Almost 7 years later and I’ve figured out why the cameras in the FNaF 1 kitchen are out: They don’t want you to see them putting the uneaten pizzas together
I'm so relieved when things like this aren't as mysterious as they seem to be. And I have never been to a Chuck E Cheese because I don't live in the US.
Probably it’s that when people order single slices they fill in the gaps from the pizza they cut it from with slices from other fresh pizzas and serve that pizza whole
Patmat: whats the fnaf timeline? Scott: I cant say Everyone else whating to know ofishle: I COME TO NIGHT THERES NO PLACE KEFT TO HIDE OPEN MINE COME INSIDE
As someone who used to work at a Chuck E. Cheese, I can safely say that the rumor wasn't true.. at least at my location. Whilst I worked there, if there was leftover slices after a customer left, they were goin' in the trash. None of us ate them. I've thrown away more pizzas from that joint than I can count. Honestly, after working there, the very idea of pizza made me feel ill for a over a year. I had my first pizza thirteen months after I left that job. I can sure as heck say that the pizzas were jank as all. The interviewees have had similar experiences to mine, and I'd say they're absolutely dead-on for the reasons they came out jank. The cutter was garbage, and moving the pizza didn't help. For those curious, I worked there between 2011 and 2013. My favorite of the character was Jasper T. Jowls, and, no. I'd rather not say which location for privacy reasons.
Finally. Someone else who work at chuck E cheese. I used to work there in Memphis Tn. And I can also say we did not reused our pizza. I know because I had to make that freaking Dough every morning before opening. Also the reason it look weirdly shaped. Because the employee don’t take the time to cut the pizza like it’s need to be. So you might have one super small slice and a really big one. The knifes we used is like a big one. ( forgot the name for it) and so when you’re new to cutting or don’t care the pizza look weird.
Guilty admission here - Chucky Cheese pizza is still my favourite pizza - and I've had pizza from hundreds of pizza places both single family and large chain, all across Canada and the USA (and Europe) Probably some childhood nostalgia fogging my opinion :P but it's my reality lol
I’m just surprised it wasn’t “pizzas are precut and laid about slice by slice to put together on a tray when ordered” cuz- correct me if I’m wrong- but can’t you order just..a Slice at a time if you wanted?
Same, it would also be convenient for when people order a half cheese, half pepperoni. instead of making a custom pizza you could just assemble whatever you need.
@@peterbellinger3387 I’ve lived in two states where pizza wasn’t big but I’ve been to plenty of restaurants where you can get it by the slice, pizza joint or not. I’m sure it’s far more common in places like you said, but unless it’s something like Pizza Hut or Dominoes, I almost always see a Slice option.
@@ToasterJam I work at a west coast specific pizza place (California, nevada, oregon etc) called round table. We dont sell by the slice at all, you must get a whole pizza. Luckily we have little 7 inch personal pizzas which more or less make up for it.
The only good thing about COVID was finally confirming that my childhood playground wasn't trying to poison me by serving me someone else's dinner. Thanks, MatPat!
Y'know when I first heard about MatPat doing Food Theory, I was skeptical because what theories could you do with food. But now after this being out for a while, I freaking love this channel, and dare I say, I find it more interesting than game and film theory.
Kyle Rivera That's why they are called theories. They are based on truth and still can be proven wrong at the same time. Every hypothesis Einstein ever made didn't turn into the theory of relativity. The same can be said with Newton and the theory of universal gravitation. (Insert other scientists and accomplishments here) Matthew has no doubt gotten better over time. He didn't realize the effects his videos would have (he still put tons of hours of hard work into those videos) and now he doesn't put out anything below A grade.
@@algsunshine7075 Hi, I know Mat's videos are always made with great quality, when I said that I was sure what to expect I meant o what kind of videos would he make. For me, theorizing about food was, and still kinda is, a new subject for me to wrap my head around it. May be that's what happened with other people as well.
As somebody who's worked in a place that sells pizzas, the thing you use to cut it determines the quality of the slice shape. Too blunt and it destroys the shape, done too carelessly and it destroys the shape, and even the trip to the window (or storage rack) can destroy the softer parts of the pizza if it's not moved carefully.
I always have pieces that slide under others too. So you’ll have one with an edge tucked slightly under another one or ones that slide around on the pan.
idea to figure out if its fake: go to chucke cheese with a friend, make your friend act as if they didn’t know you, ask your friend to order pizza, and tell your friend to make nail marks in the pizza, you you can identify if its the same pizza, after that, you order pizza and see if your pizza has the nail marks.
But why would you since he basically proved it to be fake, plus there’s no guarantee that they will use the serve you the same pizza to you (since other people exist, unless you decide to eat there during lockdown)
chucke-E-cheese should really higher Matpat as their lawyer and spokes person he's definitely doin a better job than the other guy Edit: hire* Autocorrect be doin me like that huh
Not really, the main reason that Matthew was able to deliver such a compelling video is because of the fact that he’s unbiased, if a spokes person from a marketing team says “A former employee who we cannot name said:_____” it wouldn’t be amazing evidence. The delivery of the facts do matter.
As a former employee of CEC, I can say that all the dough is made in house and cut per pizza. I remember waking up at 9 in the morning to put a 50lb bag of dough into the bowl and cutting it up into portions for hours. Next, we have a machine that flattens the dough though two tightly pressed rolling pins. After that dough is shaped into the crust, they are put in tin pans of 10, then set in the fridge to proof overnight. When it comes to the day to used said dough, when an order is placed, employees take the already proofed dough and make the pizza according to order. I honestly don't know why the short slice, long slice situation happens. It might be because of the untrained pizza cutters or the odd way we must cut our pizzas. Maybe even the trays CEC uses for their pizzas, but they do not recycle pizza. Not only would that be a serious health code violation. It's also an OSHA violation because employees and customers may be exposing themselves to disease and other germs customers may have. Instead, we throw the pizzas away after consumption and make every pizza to order. Not reusing slices, not recycling ingredients. Everything is freshly made. Hope this brings some light into the case
@SpareAWin? maybe because they want to proves that the dull rocker blade is the main reason? Plus if they changed the blade doesn't that makes them looked even more suspicious on them did recycle their pizza?
@@jacklyntree7752 like I said, I don't honestly know why it happens. The trays have some sort of bumps at the bottom to help catch the pizza, so it might be part of the reason, but some times it's because some slices are shoved under other slices. And we have to cut pizzas in a weird way. I know for a personal pizza, it had 6 slices, so we had to cut 3 times in half with a rocker blade. It not only was a weird way to cut pizzas, it was hard to make them perfect. So it's sometimes due to that I guess. I don't honestly know why the weird misshapen pieces happen, but it's not due to recycled pizza. Again, CEC would have been shut down years prior to now if that were the case
@@MegaMagician12 I agree plus Matpat did explained that it got jostled around by the dull rocker blade plus the pizza is extremely lightweighted to which according to him makes the pizza easily to get moved around while during cutting process
I took culinary as a student in high school and we were told to make pizzas to sell on our school snack bar when we would make the pizzas they never turned out with pieces literally looking like they don't belong to that pizza.
“People were just weirded out about a place where they recycled pizza quote ‘after a long struggle to stay in business and after the video that came out a year ago Chuck E. Cheese has announced it will close by years end’”
I don’t really care if there recycling other peoples pizzas there just not wasting food does it matter as long as there not taking pizza out of the trash or pizza with bites out of it there just taking wasted food and putting it in new pizzas
10 subs before 2039 I’m sorry but it’s completely unsafe. Slices might get touched (weather on purpose or by accident) by the patrons before and that would be all kinds of germs getting on those recycled pieces
I worked at a competitor of CEC here in Georgia. The real conspiracy is how they try to tank other pizza arcades by sending customers and employees alike to use CEC tokens in our arcade games essentially robbing us of that money. Customers used to tell me a CEC manager said the token were interchangeable, which is true, but we saw $0. While I worked, I would pull about $100 per WEEK worth of CEC tokens out of our machines just to have to make the drive and give them back, so embarrassing

As an actual employee of Chuck e cheese, you got pretty much everything right. I've seen hundreds of pizzas made and all the janky edges just come from the way we cut and plate them. Also, if you ever do see an employee take leftover pizza to the kitchen area, it almost always means that the thank you boxes need to be emptied and they're going to dump the leftovers in one of our larger trash cans in the back. If you ever have more questions Matt, feel free to ask me.

I always just assumed that they bake whole pizzas, then some people just order 1 slice, or 3 slices instead of a whole pizza. Which means that Chucky Cheese has a bunch of pizzas left with a few slices taken out of them, and then when someone does order a whole pizza they just combine all the pieces they have left so they don't waste a whole pizza everytime someone just orders a few slices.
That sounds pretty accurate
At the pizzeria where I worked, for individual slice orders, we half cooked and cut a few pizzas ahead of time. Then when someone ordered a slice, we'd top it and cook it again for half the time we cooked a full pie. We never sold an individual slice from a fully cooked pizza.
I never knew the method when I ate there before I worked there, but always knew individual slice orders tasted a little different.
@@rickl.461 Some places also just straight up cook separate pizzas for the individual slices, especially if they're popular in whatever town/city the restaurant is in.
I mean they could have eaten it
That would be waaay less weird then the real answer lol

14:23 Maybe the employees move each piece individually, and that’s how they get all mixed up.
You should’ve tried an experiment where you rearrange the pieces, and see if they fit together like a jigsaw puzzle.
like Shane Dawson did
I don’t think they reuse pizza, but I do think they might use a few slices from other pizzas that didn’t fully come out right. If you look at some the crust doesn’t remotely look the same. Idk tho
If that was the case I’d assume that more, if not all, of the pizzas would be mismatched, because I don’t think one employee would move some pizzas individually and some pizzas wholly.
Or some people order not a full pizza and they use the rest of the Pizza with other ones
Maybe they tried pulling the slices apart in order to make sure that they were cut all the way through since if you don't cut properly the slices are stuck together
I worked there in my early 20s, mostly as Chuck-E and Jasper. I never saw pizzas recycled, ever. But I saw customers eat the pizza others leave while they went off to play games. That is a lot more gross, but not the restaurants fault.

My friend worked at a Chuck E Cheese for a year, you can purchase single slices here in Michigan, but sometimes when they made extra Pizza and they took slices from a freshly made Pizza, they would add those slices to the pizza where single slices were served so the customer wasn’t receiving less than what they paid for. They discard pizzas after 25 minutes if they haven’t been sold or touched, I dont know if its like that everywhere else but that is the reason to why some pizzas are janky here in Michigan

Seegtease correct
Former Chuck E Cheese "Cast Member" here. My manager was the cheapest of them all. If I dropped a pepperoni on the floor, he would take it out of my paycheck, and I was only 16. With that being said, every pizza I made was a new pizza. Each one went through the oven on a pizza liner, was then placed onto a cutting board, and cut by the slicer the employee mentioned in the video (almost every pizza place uses this blade). After it's cut, a metal paddle is precariously placed under the cut pizza, and then the pizza is "jooshed" into a tray with many little nibs that allow air to flow under the crust for cooling. However, they also jostle the pizza slices upon entry, making each piece look uneven and displaced. I had a 14-year old co-worker who used a glove and inserted each piece by hand because the manager would chew him out for poor "presentation." Dancing in the rat suit was therapeutic compared to working that kitchen.

It's a lie.
Being a former worker at a Chuck E. Cheese, at least at my location, we never recycled the pizzas. Believe it or not we make pizza very similar to how Dominos and Pizza Hut makes theirs. The two former employees are correct about the blade making it uneven. When we had to work 7 parties at once we had to chop the pizzas up insanely quick which made us not even focus on making it even. Also any leftovers food I saw was always put in the garbage.
Your contribution has been duly noted you will be given extra rations .
yaaay, thanks for the info dude
Thx man
Aaa just the person I needed....
So do you cut the pizza before baking it? Or after? My brain is still trying to figure out why a baked pizza would get all deformed by getting cut. I mean all baked pizzas I have ever cuted been a whole pizza or a single slice doesn't get miss shapen. And the way I cut pizza would be the reason for miss shaping.
Honter Minjares with the way the more extreme misplaces are I feel like you would see crust on part of the sides and unless they cut it twice the cheese would make it look uncut, so it’s definitely cut after. I believe it’s the cutting utensil, the fact that they transfer what’s holding it twice, the weight of the slices, and when they’re busy they probably don’t have time to worry about the shape that makes the pizza like that.
I love that this theory was primarily successful because of the extremely specific set of circumstances that is COVID in 2020. What an amazing development

I've always thought the misshapen pizzas was like a marketing strategy of some sort like how Starbucks intentionally misspell customers' names to get free advertising. I just thought it's like that knowing people are used to perfectly shaped pizzas, a misshapen pizza would make them want to take a picture and share it on their social media
As a former Starbucks barista and barista trainer, that’s not a thing. At all. Customers will mumble, walk away too quickly, not give a name, tell you to “spell it however you want”, even give you a joke name on purpose, etc. And a whole lot of baristas can’t spell, don’t listen to the customer, forget right after they asked because they’re super busy, or sometimes they don’t even try to get it right(believe me, I really had my work cut out for me trying to train some people).

I can’t describe how happy I was to hear the name Chuck E. Cheese again. the reusing slices sounded weird to me, when the video started I had my own weird theory. Basically, if someone asks for 1 slice of pizza, you will have like 9 pieces to be used for other customers, maybe waiting somewhere. Then, if someone wanted a whole pizza, you’d get different slices of pizza on each one. Which would save money because you aren’t making whole pizzas and hoping someone buys the whole thing. I mean, I was wrong but this made sense to me. It’s like apples. There’s gonna be different apples from different apple trees. Just the same type of apples, nobody is reusing apples. You just saved a fraction of apples from that tree. Great goodness I don’t have to worry about Chuck E. Cheese pizza. That stuff was really really good and the cheese was stretchy like ninja turtles pizza. Mm mm mm. I want some pizza now.
That makes sense!
yeah but I ordered a fresh pizza not one where half of its been sat around for a few hours, so frankly they can fudge off
That’s what I thought, if Chuck E Cheese had reused pizza, it would be taken to the ground years ago
I just don't like their pizza I don't even like pizza
That was my instance assumption.
I used to be an employee at CEC and I can confirm this is absolutely true. CEC's pizza cutter is very dull and often bendy.

Correction; Chuck-E-Cheese is gonna thank you for (Providing) the Fact that they don’t Recycle Their Pizzas
They better
They just cut it wrong
I think they have combined fresh slices from different pizzas. You can order a single slice, right? Let's say there are 8 slices in a pizza. If a table of 5 all orders one slice, you have 3 leftover. If this happens at 3 tables, you now have enough to combine the extras into one full pizza.
Rather than wait for individuals to eat the extra slices, they can use them to create a new pizza while they are still fresh.
That's what I was thinking, but the fact that the dine-in was removed from the equation (thanks COVID) throws that theory out the window. You can only order single slices if you eat there, not for takeout.
true
That makes a lot of sense
That's better and not a health code violation... And smart.
@@DragonAurora yes but if 8 people order single slices, they can just make a normal pizza then make each slice go to a certain person.

@@fuduzan5562 he spelt it right the first time tho
This may be random but if theres no in store customers whose pizza will they recycle
Used to work at Pizza Hut a while ago. We used the rocking cutters too, and it does make a difference, especially if you're trying to rush through cutting six pizzas and throw them in the boxes. Pizzas that were lighter on the cheese or sauce didn't like to stay together nice and pretty, whereas your normal cheese might slide nice and neat from the cutting board into the box.
As for dine-in, a lot of the pizzas were cut on the board we'd serve in the dining room (except for the pan pizzas, which would go back in their deep dish pan and on a corkboard) so there was less chance for jostling or sliding. It still happened time to time, of course.
Another way these pizza could end up looking wrong is if the crust ended up too thin on the bottom. Not enough support, so slices might cave a bit in the middle and slide inward, giving a jagged edge. All this just comes down to human error.
If a pizza was actually frankensteined back together, you'd know. Slices would just taste different on account of reheating. Say you replaced three slices of a pizza with an older one. Because the older slices have cooled down, the cheese now has a different texture. You need to reheat it. But where the old slices will just have the cheese remelt, the fresher pizza will start to burn. In my experience, reheated pizza cheese also just has a bit more of a rubbery texture.

It’s good that the theory was chalked up to the restaurant just having dull blades, causing a janky appearance… but it’s actually not. Dull blades as a “safety policy” cause more harm than good. Any one that’s ever taken classes on cooking or been taught the basics of kitchen safety knows that the number 1 rule about blades is to NEVER use a dull blade because the extra pressure and force it takes to cut the food with it can lead to more slip ups, and deeper, more lethal mistakes.

So I've worked at chucke cheeses between 2017-2019 at the miamisburg ohio location, we never used pizza that was on a table or touched by patrons. Now when the dining room was opened we used some pizzas such as if someone asked for half a pizza and we served half a pizza we would just set another half pizza with it, they were both fresh made and never had interaction with a customer. Now also like said in the video, we used some janky unsharpened blades to cut it, it was like trying to cut a pizza with a steel bar. It destroyed that pizza
Hmm idk this looks kinda SSSSSSUUUSS

@@ZeldagigafanMatthew Exactly, like the people cutting these pizzas are adults not children.
What I think might also contribute is that it seems you can order not a whole pizza but just a half, or a pizza with mixed toppings on each half. They rearrange fresh slices, not used ones.
My question is how they got into peoples homes to take back the uneaten pizza while there restaurant's are closed to dining due to COVID.

My personal theory was that they just sold single slices and if someone ordered a pie they’d sometimes combine partially disassembled pies. Seems like that’s not the case but that’s what my initial thought would have been way before “they recycle the slices”.
i used to work at a pizza place and we did that a lot. if we didn't have time to fulfill the demand, we would sometimes take pizzas we sold single slices from, slap them together to make a whole pizza, box them and sell them for a slight discount. sometimes we wouldn't even discount them tho, but that's not really the point lol

Sorry nerding off
Of course.
Oh god not again
As someone who used to work at a Chuck E. Cheese, I can safely say that the rumor wasn't true.. at least at my location. Whilst I worked there, if there was leftover slices after a customer left, they were goin' in the trash. None of us ate them. I've thrown away more pizzas from that joint than I can count. Honestly, after working there, the very idea of pizza made me feel ill for a over a year. I had my first pizza thirteen months after I left that job. I can sure as heck say that the pizzas were jank as all. The interviewees have had similar experiences to mine, and I'd say they're absolutely dead-on for the reasons they came out jank. The cutter was garbage, and moving the pizza didn't help.
For those curious, I worked there between 2011 and 2013. My favorite of the character was Jasper T. Jowls, and, no. I'd rather not say which location for privacy reasons.
ya back boi ya back up
Finally. Someone else who work at chuck E cheese. I used to work there in Memphis Tn. And I can also say we did not reused our pizza. I know because I had to make that freaking Dough every morning before opening. Also the reason it look weirdly shaped. Because the employee don’t take the time to cut the pizza like it’s need to be. So you might have one super small slice and a really big one. The knifes we used is like a big one. ( forgot the name for it) and so when you’re new to cutting or don’t care the pizza look weird.
That’s just my two cent
Ps. Just watch the whole video soooo ya 😅😅😅

Probably some childhood nostalgia fogging my opinion :P but it's my reality lol

Everybody : " You don't say ! "
Nah, he doesn't do enough 🤷🏻♂️🙃
cupcake kitten true dat
I’m just surprised it wasn’t “pizzas are precut and laid about slice by slice to put together on a tray when ordered” cuz- correct me if I’m wrong- but can’t you order just..a Slice at a time if you wanted?
That was my first thought too. Where I live it's normal
Same, it would also be convenient for when people order a half cheese, half pepperoni. instead of making a custom pizza you could just assemble whatever you need.
Unfortunately unless you’re in a place where pizza is big they usually only serve it by the pie. (Coming from NY and moved to OR)
@@peterbellinger3387 I’ve lived in two states where pizza wasn’t big but I’ve been to plenty of restaurants where you can get it by the slice, pizza joint or not. I’m sure it’s far more common in places like you said, but unless it’s something like Pizza Hut or Dominoes, I almost always see a Slice option.
@@ToasterJam I work at a west coast specific pizza place (California, nevada, oregon etc) called round table. We dont sell by the slice at all, you must get a whole pizza. Luckily we have little 7 inch personal pizzas which more or less make up for it.

@@SolielLune yeah your right
@@fishisgreatforme they meant how the pizza couldnt be recycled cuz nobody could eat in
Sounds about right
Y'know when I first heard about MatPat doing Food Theory, I was skeptical because what theories could you do with food. But now after this being out for a while, I freaking love this channel, and dare I say, I find it more interesting than game and film theory.
Same, at first I didn't know what to expect, but now it is one of my top 5 favorite youtube channels
How could you ever be skeptical of anything Mat Pat does? He always brings his A-game!

That's why they are called theories. They are based on truth and still can be proven wrong at the same time. Every hypothesis Einstein ever made didn't turn into the theory of relativity. The same can be said with Newton and the theory of universal gravitation. (Insert other scientists and accomplishments here)
Matthew has no doubt gotten better over time. He didn't realize the effects his videos would have (he still put tons of hours of hard work into those videos) and now he doesn't put out anything below A grade.
@@algsunshine7075 Hi, I know Mat's videos are always made with great quality, when I said that I was sure what to expect I meant o what kind of videos would he make. For me, theorizing about food was, and still kinda is, a new subject for me to wrap my head around it. May be that's what happened with other people as well.
4:57 - 6:10 his anger there is just one of my favorite parts here.
As somebody who's worked in a place that sells pizzas, the thing you use to cut it determines the quality of the slice shape. Too blunt and it destroys the shape, done too carelessly and it destroys the shape, and even the trip to the window (or storage rack) can destroy the softer parts of the pizza if it's not moved carefully.
Yup. I work in a university cafeteria and ours are always so uneven. I am too short to get a straight on view when I’m cutting on the tall counter 😂
I always have pieces that slide under others too. So you’ll have one with an edge tucked slightly under another one or ones that slide around on the pan.
Matpat: you guys dont scare me.
Animatronics: *and I took that personally*
Lol my brother and I watch complications of the jumpscares and barely flinch.
It's been confirmed that employees inside the suits are rats. I've seen it myself when a normal employee took off his mask, they look horrifying..

@@EmmyBlubonic one day my friend,one day
Very epic
0:20 no you have to make more fnaf theories
idea to figure out if its fake: go to chucke cheese with a friend, make your friend act as if they didn’t know you, ask your friend to order pizza, and tell your friend to make nail marks in the pizza, you you can identify if its the same pizza, after that, you order pizza and see if your pizza has the nail marks.
But why would you since he basically proved it to be fake, plus there’s no guarantee that they will use the serve you the same pizza to you (since other people exist, unless you decide to eat there during lockdown)
Hes got a point
You can't just walk straight Into the building, you have to bring an adult too.
chucke-E-cheese should really higher Matpat as their lawyer and spokes person he's definitely doin a better job than the other guy
Edit: hire*
Autocorrect be doin me like that huh
r/boneappletea
Not really, the main reason that Matthew was able to deliver such a compelling video is because of the fact that he’s unbiased, if a spokes person from a marketing team says “A former employee who we cannot name said:_____” it wouldn’t be amazing evidence. The delivery of the facts do matter.
Matpat’s pretty Persuasive ngl

As a former employee of CEC, I can say that all the dough is made in house and cut per pizza. I remember waking up at 9 in the morning to put a 50lb bag of dough into the bowl and cutting it up into portions for hours. Next, we have a machine that flattens the dough though two tightly pressed rolling pins. After that dough is shaped into the crust, they are put in tin pans of 10, then set in the fridge to proof overnight. When it comes to the day to used said dough, when an order is placed, employees take the already proofed dough and make the pizza according to order. I honestly don't know why the short slice, long slice situation happens. It might be because of the untrained pizza cutters or the odd way we must cut our pizzas. Maybe even the trays CEC uses for their pizzas, but they do not recycle pizza. Not only would that be a serious health code violation. It's also an OSHA violation because employees and customers may be exposing themselves to disease and other germs customers may have. Instead, we throw the pizzas away after consumption and make every pizza to order. Not reusing slices, not recycling ingredients. Everything is freshly made. Hope this brings some light into the case
@SpareAWin? maybe because they want to proves that the dull rocker blade is the main reason? Plus if they changed the blade doesn't that makes them looked even more suspicious on them did recycle their pizza?
I feel like this still doesn't explain pizzas that are significantly different slice sizes, like how did that happen?
@SpareAWin? Honestly, cause the store I worked for was old and cheap. They didn't really want to spend money on the supplies like that
@@jacklyntree7752 like I said, I don't honestly know why it happens. The trays have some sort of bumps at the bottom to help catch the pizza, so it might be part of the reason, but some times it's because some slices are shoved under other slices. And we have to cut pizzas in a weird way. I know for a personal pizza, it had 6 slices, so we had to cut 3 times in half with a rocker blade. It not only was a weird way to cut pizzas, it was hard to make them perfect. So it's sometimes due to that I guess. I don't honestly know why the weird misshapen pieces happen, but it's not due to recycled pizza. Again, CEC would have been shut down years prior to now if that were the case
@@MegaMagician12 I agree plus Matpat did explained that it got jostled around by the dull rocker blade plus the pizza is extremely lightweighted to which according to him makes the pizza easily to get moved around while during cutting process
I took culinary as a student in high school and we were told to make pizzas to sell on our school snack bar when we would make the pizzas they never turned out with pieces literally looking like they don't belong to that pizza.
Purple guy: **tries to murder child**
Why isn’t this working

Underrated comment here. 😂🤣🔥🔥🔥
Ew
So THAT'S the safety reason here!
Oh. That makes so much sense.
Did Scott cawthon reveal the animatronic actual name
“People were just weirded out about a place where they recycled pizza quote ‘after a long struggle to stay in business and after the video that came out a year ago Chuck E. Cheese has announced it will close by years end’”
I don’t really care if there recycling other peoples pizzas there just not wasting food does it matter as long as there not taking pizza out of the trash or pizza with bites out of it there just taking wasted food and putting it in new pizzas
Wait really? It’s that bad now?
10 subs before 2039 yeah I agree. Tbh if people are worried just asked for it uncut. It’s that’s simple.
10 subs before 2039 ok but they should publicly say if They were. I wouldn’t eat there if they did, and it’s a joke reffernce to his fnaf timeline vid
10 subs before 2039 I’m sorry but it’s completely unsafe. Slices might get touched (weather on purpose or by accident) by the patrons before and that would be all kinds of germs getting on those recycled pieces
I worked at a competitor of CEC here in Georgia. The real conspiracy is how they try to tank other pizza arcades by sending customers and employees alike to use CEC tokens in our arcade games essentially robbing us of that money. Customers used to tell me a CEC manager said the token were interchangeable, which is true, but we saw $0. While I worked, I would pull about $100 per WEEK worth of CEC tokens out of our machines just to have to make the drive and give them back, so embarrassing
Sad.
