History

The store would open in May of 1979 at the Willows Shopping Center with its manager being Rob Schmidt.[1] Its restaurant would be on the first floor, and the arcade on the second floor.[2] It would feature the first ever set of Cyberamics, alongsite a Cyberamic Dolli Dimples (Cabaret) on the second floor.[4] In November/December of 1979, the Pizza Time Theatre 1979 Spot (Commercial) commercial would be filmed at the location. Later into the location’s life its Dolli would be replaced by Artie Antlers (Cabaret) and later BB Bubbles (Cabaret). In May of 1980 the assistant manager of the store, Sheri Walther, would win the Pizza Times ‘Name this Newsletter’ contest alongside two others who suggested the same name, with all three splitting the prize. The store would appear on KTVU on March 26, 1981.[3] The store would close in January of 1994 for unknown reasons, being replaced by a UFC Gym which is still around to present day.
