Many a pepperoni pizza was consumed, and countless hundreds of games were played while I was still in my youth — and maybe just a little when I was an adult, too.

CEC Entertainment Inc. has reopened 266 of its 612 company-operated Chuck E Cheese and Peter Piper Pizza restaurants, but did not elaborate on how willing parents are to again host birthday parties and other gatherings with so many cities still under tight restrictions on crowds.

Even with that being the case, Chuck E. Cheese’s has announced that it will have to permanently close 34 locations, and will not be renewing the lease on 45 leases. Sad times.
