]Showbiz Pizza Place was a pizzeria that was in business during the 1980's.
Now you may be wondering what is so special about a pizzaeria that I MUST inform you of it. Well, there was one component that made this place different from the rest. It featured the most advanced animatronic band for its time, the Rock-a-fire Explosion!

Created by engineer Aaron Fetcher with his company Creative Engineering, these animatronics performed like no other, so it's no surprise hundreds of locations, and bands, were open to the public.
