An American pizza chain that some reviewers have labelled "better than Domino's" is set to launch in the UK. Britain has received a number of US-born fast food chains in recent years, including Popeyes and Krispy Kreme. The latest one to eye the UK market is Chuck E. Cheese, a popular brand in America with close to 500 restaurants across the US and recent openings as far as Australia. The first European restaurant will open in a busy UK spot, Chuck E. Cheese has confirmed.
In early 2026, Chuck E. Cheese will open its first UK spot in London's Piccadilly Circus. The chain, known for its pizzas, also plans to open restaurants in Milton Keynes, Bristol, Leeds, Birmingham, Manchester, and Glasgow. Chuck E. Cheese has been in operation in the US since 1977 and has become a popular spot for children's birthday parties. The restaurants offer pizzas along with other typical fast food items, while children can spend time in their play zones and at arcade games.
People's thoughts on Chuck E. Cheese are mixed, with some claiming it is better than the likes of Domino's and Pizza Hut. One Reddit user declared: "Chuck E. Pizza gets a lot of s**t, but I find it absolutely delicious! I entirely cannot resists the sauce they put on their pizza!"
They added: "I usually only go there to have their pizza too. They're ten times better than Domino's or Pizza Hut." However, other pizza fans disagreed and claimed that Domino's is far superior to Chucky E. Cheese.
Soon enough, UK pizza lovers will have the opportunity to decide for themselves. Speaking of Chuck E. Cheese's expansion into the UK, Mario Centola, chief operating officer, said: "We're thrilled to bring our unique magic for family fun to the UK.

"We have partnered with an outstanding team that shares our passion for delivering unforgettable family experiences."
He added: "Chuck E. Cheese is an incredible global brand that brings families together across cultures through the universal language of fun."
Meanwhile, Alistair Burnett, managing director, said: "We will be reimagining family entertainment in this market, and Chuck E. Cheese is the perfect brand to lead that transformation. Our focus is on delivering a destination where kids can be kids, parents can relax, and unforgettable memories are made every day."
