Our Story
The story of America’s Incredible Pizza Company begins with Rick and Cheryl Barsness, a couple whose passion for great food, family fun, and entertainment led them to create one of the best family entertainment centers in the world.
It all started in Grand Forks, North Dakota, where Cheryl worked her first job and met Rick. The couple later moved to Victoria, Texas, where they successfully operated 12 pizza restaurants while raising their five children. Rick’s annual visits to pizza industry conventions led to a game-changing idea—combining pizza with arcade games. After adding a small game room with 10-15 games, the concept quickly became a hit. With growing success, they dreamed bigger—envisioning a 40,000+ square-foot destination that blended pizza, games, attractions, and rides.
Building an Incredible Experience
Determined to bring their vision to life, Rick and Cheryl relocated to Springfield, Missouri. Facing multiple loan rejections, they persisted—until one final bank believed in their dream. This moment was the turning point, leading to the birth of America’s Incredible Pizza Company.
Inspired by the 1950s era and its strong family values, they created a nostalgic, family-friendly atmosphere where guests of all ages could dine, play, and make unforgettable memories together. Sticking to the theme, they designed four unique dining rooms, each capturing the charm of the 1950s:
✅ The Diner – A classic 1950s-style diner with black-and-red booths, neon lights, and retro décor.
✅ The Starlite Theater – A tribute to drive-in movies, featuring big screens playing 1950s classics.
✅ The Gymnasium – Inspired by 1950s school lunchrooms, complete with basketball hoops, banners, and folding chairs.
✅ The Family Room – A cozy dining area designed after 1950s TV shows like “Leave It to Beaver.”
