FAST FOOD NEWS: Chuck E. Cheese’s Candy Corn Pizza

Chuck E Cheese Candy Corn Pizza

Before you get grossed out or excited about Chuck E. Cheese’s Candy Corn Pizza, know that it does not come with the traditional Halloween disappointment on or in it. But it does come with two servings of candy corn, which you’re allowed to do whatever you want with them that I hope includes dumping them on top of the pizza.

The menu item is a white pizza with the chain’s traditional crust which is topped with garlic mozzarella in the center of the pizza and a ring of sharp cheddar around it. The positioning of the cheese makes each slice look like a piece of candy corn.

The two cheese pizza is available from October 16 to the end of the month.

If you’ve tried it (and topped it with the candy corn), let us know what you think of it in the comments.
