Known for creating memorable experiences for kids and families, CEC Entertainment celebrates over half a million birthdays annually, making it a destination where kids can be themselves and families can bond over laughter, food, and play. With nearly 600 Chuck E. Cheese locations and over 120 Peter Piper Pizza venues spanning 45 states and 18 countries, CEC Entertainment fosters a vibrant culture of diversity and inclusion, emphasizing fun and play to unite families and communities.

Chuck E.

Peter Piper Pizza complements this mission by providing a neighborhood pizzeria experience centered on quality food and engaging entertainment, where the fun truly is baked in.

Now hiring Food Prep, Cook, and Pizza Makers, CEC Entertainment invites enthusiastic individuals to join their kitchen team, who will help feed the fun by preparing a variety of orders including pizza, salads, and wings, in an easy, no-fry kitchen environment.

Flexible scheduling ensures work-life balance, while scholarships, employee referral programs, and the CEC Cares Fund provide additional support and rewards.

The role requires candidates to be at least 16 years old (subject to local restrictions) and equipped with energetic, enthusiastic personalities and excellent customer service skills.
