Freddy Fazbear's Pizza

**Freddy Fazbear's Pizza Place** (often shortened to just **Freddy Fazbear's Pizza**, and formally **Freddy Fazbear's Pizzeria**) was an American family entertainment center and eatery located in Hurricane, Utah. Built by Henry Emily in 1983, the pizzeria is most commonly known for its animatronic entertainers and tragic history.

## History

Built and opened in 1983, Freddy Fazbear's Pizzeria was the first location to be owned and operated by **Fazbear Entertainment**. The pizzeria would operate soundly, with the entertainment being a scerenade of four full sized singing animal mascots: **Freddy Fazbear**, **Bonnie**, **Chica and Mr. Cupcake**, and **Foxy the Pirate**. On June 26th of 1985, a total of five children were reported mysteriously missing from a birthday party at the restaurant, leading to an investigation and later complete shutdown.

Following the shutdown, the building was left abandoned for near of a year, only being disturbed when Fazbear Entertainment retrieved the animatronic mascots for refurbishment and reuse in a new location. However, these plans were scrapped in favor of using the animatronics for parts for newer models. After The Bite of '87, the animatronic were brought back to Freddy Fazbear's Pizzeria for compete renovations and reuse.

Starting in 1988, the animatronics and pizzeria went through a major overhaul, the building being rebranded as "**Freddy Fazbear's Pizza Place**" but was commonly referred to as **Freddy Fazbear's Pizza**. The animatronics were also refurbished and remodeled, but retained most of their core programming and voices.

In March of 1989, Freddy Fazbear's Pizza premiered the **Glow Night** showtape, including glow in the dark theming and blacklight costumes. The event was quickly shut down after several incidents nearly resulting in lawsuits. In October, **Freddy's Murder Fest** was premiered, and would become a staple in **Freddy Fazbear's** event lineup for years to come.

Starting in 1990, the animatronics went through another overhaul resulting in newer and more fitting voices, particularly for **Freddy Fazbear** and **Foxy the Pirate**. Newer showtapes would also reflect the change with personality changes, such as making **Bonnie** more energetic.

In 1992, profits began to dwindle, resulting in a three month period where the entirety of the stage was renovated for a special event; **Faz-Friends Go To the Movies**. The entire show floor was changed to resemble a movie theater, with the whole band placed on a customized Show Stage, Pirate Cove was converted into a snack bar, and a movie screen was hung over the Showtime button. Despite the popularity, the running costs were deemed too expensive to make a sizable profit, resulting in budget cuts staring in 1993.

Due to the expensive running costs, **Fazbear Entertainment** put budgetary restrictions on the show production, resulting in a lackluster show venue. Themes were reduced to just conversations rather that song and dance routines, and the mascots were further mellowed. Worse still, **Foxy the Pirate** was put out of commission due to extensive damage to the costume frame and little money to repair him. By the end of the year, **Freddy Fazbear's Pizza** was on the verge of bankruptcy, and officially closed its doors on December 31st, 1993. While the restaurant still stands, it remains sealed from the outside world, and the fate of the animatronic mascots is unknown.
