"Chuck E. Cheese is already known as the expert in fun, so it's a natural extension for us to be the first brand to deliver a kit of fun anywhere a group wants to gather," Ashley Zickefoose, Chief Marketing and Concept Officer, CEC Entertainment, Inc., said in a press release. "Chuck E. Cheese is continually innovating to meet evolving consumer needs. We collaborated with Door Dash to create the Pizza Party Pack as a way to innovate within our growing delivery channel and bring a unique celebratory experience complete with food and decor directly to guests with one click."
The Pizza Party Pack can be ordered within the DoorDash platform at www.DoorDash.com or in-app for Android or iOS.
The introduction follows on the heels of the May 2018 limited partnership with Grubhub, Uber Eats, and DoorDash, which saw customers able to have food delivered from 345 participating locations nationwide.
The news also comes after Chuck E Cheese pizza found itself making headlines following YouTube star Shane Dawson's "investigation" into claims that the chain collects uneaten pizza slices from the dining area and fits them back together to form and re-serve them as "fresh" pizzas.
While Dawson seemed to support the theory, in a statement to PEOPLE, Chuck E Cheese fiercely denied it.
"The claims made in this video about Chuck E. Cheese's and our pizza are unequivocally false," a spokesperson for the company said. "No conspiracies here – our pizzas are made to order and we prepare our dough fresh in restaurant, which means that they're not always perfectly uniform in shape, but always delicious."
