Chuck E. Cheese’s debuts candy corn pizza

Chuck E. Cheese’s is adding a candy corn pizza to its menu this month.

Based off the popular candy, the pizza includes a ring of sharp cheddar cheese near the crust and garlic mozzarella cheese in the center to mimic the Halloween candy’s iconic colors.

The menu item is part of the chain’s annual “Chucktober” celebration and will be available starting Oct. 16 until the end of the month. Guests who visit the chain on Halloween will also be able to win free slices of candy corn pizza every hour from 4-8 p.m.

In addition to its candy corn pizza, Chuck E. Cheese’s is also bringing back its mac-cheesy pizza for the third year in a row. The dish features elbow macaroni mixed with a creamy cheese sauce and is topped with melted colby cheese and 100% whole milk mozzarella cheese on a traditional or thin and crispy crust. The mac-cheesy pizza will be available until the end of the year.
