John's Incredible Pizza Company, Carson

People need energy to play, so meals at John's Incredible Pizza Company might start at a salad bar with 40 different veggies and toppings. They might then proceed to an inventive selection of pizzas including barbecue chicken ranch and spicy peanut butter, plus standards such as pepperoni and cheese. There is also a build-your-own pasta bar and a dessert buffet with everything from fresh baked cinnamon rolls to soft-serve ice cream cones.

All of this food is meant to fuel a good time. That takes place on bumper cars and interactive superbikes. Old-school arcade enthusiasts can engage in classic Pac-Man battle while redemption tickets whir out of machines, granting winners access to a prize counter stocked with lava lamps and Nintendo and Xbox consoles.
