Charlie Cheese's Pizza Playhouse was the Australian localization of Chuck E. Cheese's Pizza Time Theatre that lasted from March 1981[1] until 1986. Only two locations were opened, both in the state of Queensland, one in Surfer's Paradise and one in Carina.
Charlie Cheese's Pizza Playhouse is notable for being the first country Chuck E. Cheese would be introduced outside of the United States.
A Chuck E. Cheese location in Perth opened on September 6th, 2025,[2] marking the mouse's return to Australia in nearly 40 years.
