The food vs. price is absolutely 1 star the pizza is sub-par and the price is simply outrageous! That being said, it is a great place just to take the kids, they'll enjoy every minute with out spending a dime(except for the game starting at just a quarter each very reasonable), just make sure you've eaten first(they'll let you in for free). And they'll 'tag' your child with an infrared stamp(easy, totally pain-less, safe). Thing I don't like about cec is you get so much more value at Gatti's and the pizza is so much better, and they have a game room(however this is where they fail to shine, games up to $2.00 that's also outrageous, but most are.35-.60 cents). If you are going there to just play games count on a 5 star experience, however if you are planning on eating there be prepared to pay top dollar for catsup baked onto bread (nasty I thought and I love pizza), calling it a 1 star experience is very generous in my opinion.. ..
