Customer Reviews

I liked the games for the kids; it was nice. The food wasn't bad, but the workers were. The lady at the front kept getting on the mic to scold little kids. We know kids run, but she didn't need to be so aggressive. It wasn't my kids, but it still came off that way. Lowkeyyy the ice cream carries it's really good

Went for pizza and was very delicious and excellent service. Bonus: during teacher appreciation week got a free personal pan pizza ??

We were going out for some lunch anyway so we invited our daughter and some of the grandkids, 7 of them, to eat. Peter Piper Pizza has been a family favorite for years and still has delicious, freshly made pizza. Plus the kids live the games which is awesome for them to be able to do something different for a little while.

Extremely clean and pleasant staff. Always have a smile and willing to make service a great one. From the lunch buffet to dinner this hands down IS THE best Peter Piper Pizzas establishments in the valley 10 out 10

Went on a weekday at 4pm...perfect timing ... perfect for us grandparents taking the grandbabies out for dinner! Friendly Family Dinning.

Placed an order at 3:58pm. At 4:16pm attempted to pick up my order, cashier told me it would be out soon. Waited over 30 min. (My fault for waiting so long). Asked the cashier again. Wasn't ready, got a refund and left. Horrible service.

Got the buffet and while eating I find hair basically baked into the bottom of the pizza. Super gross. When I spoke to the manager working now as I'm writing this all she had to say she has no idea how the hair got there. NO EMPLOYEES NOT EVEN THE MANAGER ARE WEARING HAIRNETS.

I rarely post reviews but I feel like after the experience I had today I had to write about the service. I went in at 1:40 PM. The buffet ends at 2 and I was just going for 20 minutes to catch up with my family that was already there during my lunch break. Once at the register I asked for the buffet, the lady kindly said that they would be closing the buffet in 20 minutes. I explained to her that it was ok, there's was still a lot of pizza in the buffet line and I was honestly just gunna eat about 3 slices

They really do pay attention to detail. I love my turtle

I'm leaving a 2 because of the games for the kids. They enjoyed that. Yesterday I took my children and friends to enjoy some pizza for my son?s birthday. Sad to say I was disappointed with the pizza. Not sure what happened because pizza was always great before. I had just gone a week ago and it was perfect. Last night was far from that. Seems like they rushed the pizza. Cheese was not completely melted. I didn't go back to front because the kids were hungry and there were a lot of people, but it was terribl

Had our daughter's 9th Birthday Party ?? there, and overall, it was great! Only issue was that we were told we Could Not have certain decorations! But another group (party) next to us had the type of decorations we were told we Could Not bring!?

Let me tell you, the staff are a bunch of hard workers that even when short staffed they do their best to give the best quality of food and service they can, yes they can make mistakes from time to time but they will always try to make it right

The buffet was incredible. ??

Very good fast service. It's best to go during the week to avoid the parties ??

Came in for lunch. Flies all over the food. Do better

I want to thank all the staff from peter piper pizza especially Albert who was our party hostess who went above and beyond and made it extra special for our birthday boy Jeremiah thank you Albert. Keep up the excellent job. ???? ?? ??

Best Pizza in town! I ordered a large supreme pizza, the service was quick! The food was great! The pizza came out quick, crispy and hot! A couple of the games were out. The Restraunt was very clean. Even had a certain area for pi?atas

Great atmosphere, friendly staff and awesome pizza! My family loves the weslaco location!!

Very clean , great customer service! The buffet is always fresh & they have the best salad I've ever eaten :)

Love that place , my kids always have a blast and family fun environment ????

First pizza came out with hard almost completely unmelted cheese. Was lukewarm. Asked to heat it up. "Nope we can't do that." Okay, I understand, but offer to make another one that's not. No, I had to ask and it was a very reluctant "ok"! No apology, no empathy, nada. 2nd one was better, but not good. Store smelled moldy, water was dripping in through the windows, felt very dirty. $14 for 1 topping pizza?! More expensive than pizza hut but not even close to the quality!

Pizza was delicious, but wings were sitting out for more than 20 mins , they never called my name out so I had to go to the front to ask for them and the girl said ?oh I lost your ticket sorry? by the time I got them my family was already done with the pizza.... also the taste of the wings wasn't all that great.

You can't go wrong with their pizza! So good!

Great buffet and Great place to take the kids for some fun and pizza

Great customer service, great games for kids and good pizza and icecream

My granddaughter loves running around as her pa pa chases her around.

Love the cheese ?? from PPP!! No other pizza ?? is better than their cheese pizza! But I won't lie about the games though, they're so freaking expensive, I think! ChuckECheese games are only 1 or 2 tokens....PPP games range from 2-4 tokens but most of them are 3 to 4 tokens..... Heck no!

Buffet was great food was fresh , games were fun, two or three games did not work properly. Overall kids still had fun

The buffets from 11-2 cost about 12.64 per person. That's including the drink. You get all kinds of pizza, bread, cheese bread, salad and cinnamon bread. So good. Or on a regular day a LG pepperoni or the works. My favorite pizza ??

Super clean place and great for family nights ?? ??

Food was great , kids had fun

I Came to enjoy my nephews birthday party and everything was going great, until i purchased 3 ice cream cones. I paid for them and then I went to go get them as usual, but then The Lady attending me which was Angela went to go make my order which was on the receipt. She gave me one wrong one and I just told her it was vanilla I didn't mind that she messed up the order I just wanted the one I ordered. Then she proceeds to make a comment as she's walking away. Then she comes back and gives me the right cone,

I had a party for my baby girl and it was awesome. this is my favorite ??.We all had a blast

Every Time we go it's always good to see the games the fun that kids have service is always good only thing I will say is too much of the reservation like I get it people want to have parties but what about the people that just want to go and sit down and eat not fair for those they should do a limit so that everybody has a chance to eat and have fun with there kids

Such great costumer service food was great!

The experience was alright but they should also manage the doors as children can leave easily without any parents supervising them. It was quite loud but I managed it well and just focused on the party I was invited in. I'm still shocked on how everything completely changed. Even most of the games got inflation or something because most of the games are 4 points. I think I miss the old token system more. Since we where able to manage our amount every now and then instead of now where kids just run around an

Rude staff some cashier give you a bad look and rude to you when you ordering .

Throughout the years, this place has changed. We enjoyed our lunch today. *Better customer service *Arcade is smaller, but they actually have all the games working, and they upgraded their games as well. *Restrooms are clean *Eating area is maintained clean You guys are doing good work ??

The pizza is great, but the claw machines aren't. They make the claw machines near impossible for a kid to win something. My kid had a ball perfectly in the claw then it dropped, multiple times. Being mostly a kid pizza-arcade type place, they should make it where a kid can win and bring something home.

The pizza is okay but the restaurant is loud! Not a good place to go unless you don't mind the sound of children/people playing arcade games and running around the restaurant. We will go back to try the lunch buffet as it looks to be a great deal - all you can eat pizza, salad, drinks, etc. - at $8.99/adult. We're always looking for the bang for the buck!

Great buffet! Will be going back.

Pizza is pizza lol but the event held here for our local library was amazing, staff was friendly, facility was kept clean, and kids were safe. Def recommend

We had the buffet and it was great! They let you order what you want and it's already included in the price so the Chicago classic pizza really hit the spot!

Great food & awesome customer service!!

Sorry about that, I must haves pressed something to give an empty review. Fixing it. Pretty good ??, those cheese sticks are great. It is a party place so expect chaos from kids. Good for kids parties or just pizza parties. Can't go wrong with their ??.

Food was nasty girls don't use hair nets sometimes there's hairs on the pizza wings are always cold. Managers are bad.. and more Velma game room attendants don't help enough you see them on their phones instead of helping people. Last time i saw some customers vaping and they wouldn't tell them nothing. Alot of games out of service once i heard they turn off the carousel so they don't have to deal with small kids.

Ask for the pizza well done, to get that perfect under carriage and crunch on pizza! The Werx and New Yorker are my go to for sure every time!

Even with it being so packed customer service was great. I would like better clarification on where to pickup online/phone call orders. While in line under the pick up sign others in line were unsure if they had to go to the main line for pickup or separate line under the pick up sign. In the past they were informed to go to the main line. I wasn't sure so I stayed under the pick up sign.

I went this afternoon with my friends and we absolutely enjoyed it. It was the most fun I ever had. The employees were very kind to us and the toy guy even gave me two bracelets when my first one broke AND let me pick from a wider range of colors for my fuzzy dice than what was originally there. The pizza was made fast and it tasted great; me and my friends chilled outside before we left and they didn't mind which made my night, i even made a new crush while there. Overall a 10/10 Place.

Good place for the kids to run around, it's a bit packed when everyone is having party's. The pizza was really good since it wasn't super greasy like other places. The pizza would come out nice and hot when it was taken to the table. I really didn't get a look at the prices since we were invited to a party. I really liked that there was always an employee around cleaning or doing something to help the guest, even though they were totally outnumbered all the time.

Went for an adult party for retro memories but place caters to kids. Pizza was good but needed more toppings and chicken wings on came in one flavor which was spicy. Don't think kids would have liked.

Terrible Customer Service and Rude Staff.

We had a RESERVED birthday party scheduled at 3pm?we came in with our things around 2:45pm?pi?ata and cake in hand?and asked for our tables only to watch two staff search for my sons name on a table card(the very tables they were checking were full). We had to watch them ask their customers to relocate, they were obviously bugged by it, a problem that could have been avoided if they were on top of their reservations. We understood it was a busy day, we watched as everyone around us was seated in every table

Form all the Peter piper pizzas in the region i came to the conclusion that this is the best one to past the time with your kids or family. Games almost never brake down and the place is cleaned for the most part. Great availability when choosing a seating since half of the place is full of tables just enough so one is able to seat away from the partying family and have their own fun close to the games. The food is delicious and it deliver as expected. The average waiting time is 10 minutes so you better co

The food was great. But when I went there was a lot of kids unsupervised. They were getting on top of the games, it wasn't safe. I couldn't play games because there was too many kids touching the button, of the game I was playing. The workers couldn't handle the kids. It's not like it was their job to tell the kids to get of of games in the first place. Horrible experience. Parents should be taking care of their kids instead of letting them do what they want.

Went for a birthday party the table was clean and the bench seats as well. The server did a good job keeping the party going. Kept the pizzas coming in, speaking of pizza, it was delicious! Most of the arcade machines looked clean but pretty tough when there's kids running all over the place. Order all good experience.

Pizza was very good. The kids love going there, and so does my wife and I.

Only went for pick up and glad I did. There were so many people inside and kids running around everywhere. Employees had masks which is good but I'm still not comfortable with that many people. Food was ready fast and was delicious as always.

It's a great place for kids, although the pizza is subpar and the games are a little high priced. You'll need 20 dollars minimum to have a good time at the games.

I really don't have nothing against this place, it's great n all but wow the smell. I mean I'm not sure what was going on but it smelled like a wet dog. The air smell wasn't pleasant at all... I enjoyed the pizza and games which are awsome but they definitely need to replace the carpet or figure if their A/C units aren't giving the wet dog smell. Other then that I would've give 5 stars.

5 STARS! Always friendly and helpful but with this visit they went above and beyond. The 2 gentlemen working the ovens were very helpful, they offered to help me take out the my order to my vehicle since I'm using crutches right now. Keep up the good work and friendliness. The pizza was very good.

I reserved a table for my wife's birthday, but what's disappointing about this place is that you can't hire a mariachi band to sing happy birthday 2 songs the least because it's not allowed. After my wife's birthday, I will no longer reserve a table there. Disappointing never again, I couldn't even give my wife the party she deserves because it's not allowed.

The food was great, and we were well taken care of as far as orders go.

The food is good why lie but there's so many other things that are wrong that just make the experience horrible. My son had his birthday here and I'll give you some great advice, "count what your paying for or they'll lie about how much food you actually receive." Most of the video games are down and the party host give bad service. I spent all night looking for her and I called the manager the next day to complain and I guess in there eyes the customer is wrong. 300$ tab I bought 15 pizzas and most of my g

Place is great, but evening time its always full. Games are fun, easy to recharge cards to play.

We love Peter piper pizza, however the staff is rude. For the past 2 months I can't seem to be able to place an order over the phone. Alamo ,Pharr and McAllen PPP are always extremely busy and yet able to pick up phone. I asked cashier if they had phone trouble once I stopped on the way from Island and she said,"NO". Which means they just choose not to pick up.Unproffessional. 20 minutes, multiple calls and Noone picks up.

Horrible... if I can give 0 stars I would. 4 times in a row I've called in my order for an extra large new yorker with double pepperoni and they always get it wrong. Never coming back. All they can say was sorry or tell me they can add the extra pepperoni for a 7 minute wait. Just get it right.

I had a party here on a very busy night, and despite it being the busiest my party host, I think her name was Belen was very attentive and got everything out for my party. My son enjoyed his night. Thank you all again!.

WE HAD A GREAT TIME CELEBRATING JAYSON ELLIOT'S 1st BIRTHDAY WITH THE ALVAREZ-CEDILLO FAMILY!!

Staff are Rude a bunch of young kids with attitude no smiles or hello .. Our pizza and wings were ok we didnt even get the tickets that came with the kids meals either Our food was thrown away from the table after we had left to play games and our reciept was in the pizza box so we couldnt go and claim ?? if we decide to give it another try i will be putting a big sign on my table that says DO NOT THROW MY FOOD AWAY WE ARE NOT DONE !! we let the staff know and all they did was just ignore us Managment need

Galexia and I spent some time with my mom... We had fun, but there starting to use a card based system for the games instead of tokens so it was a bit glitchy but the staff was wonderful and kept refunding us.

Went there because that was my daughter's choice to celebrate her Christmas Ballet Recital. She had a good time and spent lots of money to get her tickets to get her toys. The pizza is so expensive! $36 for two pizzas and two drinks. The drinks were watered down and I mentioned it to one of the workers and then they fixed it. The ice cream was good. I got help carrying my pizza as I was using my cane to walk. Thank you. My daughter, began to cry when she reali that her favorite teddy bear fell out of the tr

Attended a birthday party.

Peter Piper pizza in weslaco is always a good choice. The pizza always tastes great and the place looks great. Today we came to eat at 11:10 am and tried to open the doors and they wouldn't open an employee cleaning the glass told us to use the other doors which we did. As we walked in that employee told a manager maybe we should put a sign that says to use the other door. The manager brushed him off like nothing and just said it's fine they eventually figure it out themselves. How do managers expect their

I got a little upset due to asking if they could switch a 5 piece wings rto a 10 piece. The young man said yes he could. But then charged me 2- 5 piece @ $8.49 instead of just one 10 piece @ $14.99 I told him to call his manager. Manager fixed the issue then he asks at the end why did you ask for a change to your order. ??????????

The only reason it's a three star review it's for the reason that half of there arcade games are down. They need to keep up with maintenance on them. I tend to go more to the one in Alamo since half of the reason you go to PPP is to play the games. The food is great and pitchers of beer also great.

Ask the lady behind the counter if I can have some wings that weren't burnt, she Replied oh you didn't want him well done. And I think she was the manager. Very unprofessional.

This is the best place to get pizza. Their food is delicious and the people who work there are so helpful and nice. Definitely recommend!!

Lunch buffet is definitely the way to go. You'll get a fair amount of bang for your buck. Quick and easy the selection won't overwhelm you, and you can be in and out in 25 minutes if you're on a clock.

The food is great! But customer services sucks! I am from Indianapolis Indiana and drove 24 hours just to see what this place was about! My boyfriend orders a pizza (he is tejano) they had no problem ordering his special pizza. Now when I (white girl) go to order a special pizza was told I couldn't ! Then when I was at the cashier in the start to pay, she didn't tell me what to do with the bands or anything! Customer service needs to be better! I won't be returning to this location anyway!

Got two large pepperoni pizzas and an 8 piece wings. Both were delicious. Took my niece there and she had a blast playing the games. There's something there for everybody. Staff was nice.

Went for a birthday, worst experience I've ever had at any Peter Piper Pizza. The host was running around without any clear sense of direction. The pizzas were coming out very slowly and late. The host announced that it was time to hit the pinata and then forgot to come by and coordinate the thing. Then she announced it was time to sing Happy birthday, she showed up after everyone was done singing and asked everyone to get back together for a picture. Then, proceeded to push everyone out because there was a

Have loved Peter piper since I was a kid. This has not changed. They have removed the play ground, but have a great variety of games for children to play with. Of course, as always, they have the most delicious greasy pizza ever.

I go cause I love the pizza and my daughter loves to eat there or take it home but sometimes it seems like they aren't too pleased to take your order ..well mine anyways..hopefully this changes that but nevertheless I'll still go cause we my daughter loves the pizza

The pizza ?? 10 so flavorful

Had my daughters bday party here and overall it was great , only thing is that I asked to make my food at a certain time and they forgot so I got it 45mins late. Overall it was great

Lots of people there at lunch time but got everyone taken care of quickly. I was with a group and we were made so welcome. The food was great and the pizza was fresh and hot!! Great place to go!!

Love the food especially the New Yorker but it makes my stomach hurt every single time. A friend actually breaks out in hives when he goes there but still loves it. Does anyone else experience problems??

Frequently Asked Questions

What’s it like visiting an arcade today?

It’s a mix of nostalgia and high-energy fun! Many arcades blend retro classics like Pac-Man and pinball with modern VR games, racing simulators, and rhythm challenges — often with music, lights, and a social vibe.

Is it better to go alone or with friends?

Both can be great! Solo visits let you focus on your favorite games, while going with friends adds competition, teamwork, and laughs. Many people plan arcade meetups as a casual hangout or even date spot.

What should I bring to an arcade?

Usually just yourself and a way to pay (some arcades still use coins, others use cards or apps). If you're competitive, bring your A-game. If you're social, bring friends or meet new ones over multiplayer games.

What’s the best time to visit an arcade?

Weekdays or early afternoons are usually less crowded — perfect for focused play. Evenings and weekends bring the buzz, especially at barcades or venues with DJs, tournaments, or themed nights.

Absolutely! Arcades attract a mix of casual players and serious gamers. Whether you're jumping into a four-player co-op or chatting between rounds, it's a fun, low-pressure way to connect over shared interests.

Are arcades still just for kids?

Not at all. While many arcades are family-friendly, there are also adult-oriented ones with full bars, 18+ nights, or vintage nostalgia themes. Arcades today cater to everyone — from first-timers to lifelong gamers.

Are there events or tournaments I can join?

Yes! Many arcades host regular competitions, retro nights, cosplay parties, and more. Whether you're into high scores or just want to watch and vibe, events add an extra layer to the experience.

What if I’m not great at arcade games?

No worries — arcades are about having fun, not being perfect. Try a variety of games, ask others for tips, and remember: the vibe is more “let’s play” than “let’s win.”

Why are arcade prize games so exciting to play?

Arcade prize games are a thrilling highlight in 2025!
