We live in Tecumseh and my children love incredible pizza. We were a little disappointed when we went to a doctors appointment and saw the new name on the building. We decided to go ahead and try it out. Same great employees. Not as many customers and this is sad. The food was great. Granted we were there on a Wednesday, but my son thought it was really cool to have the whole place to himself. They have a wednesday special for 11.99. Unlimited attractions (go-carts, bumper cars, mini golf, bowling and all video games that do not give tickets). We were there for an hour and 1/2 and he definately got his moneys worth. I hope everyone will give the new name a change.

It looks like Lido has closed down. The past few nights I've driven by Lido at around 6 pm, and the lights have been off with no cars in the parking lot. Also, the website link above goes to another website now. Any news on this?

I agree, I haven't seen any cars there recently. I was next door at Homeland on Saturday afternoon and it looks abandoned.

We drove by there the other day, and there was a sign in the door saying "This site is closed for renovations." That's usually code for "bye-bye."

The whole Incredible Pizza to Lido thing was very, very, very weird. First I heard the local owners wanted out of the IP chain, then it was a spinoff of IP, then it was gone, so I don't know what to think.

FWIW, the last couple of times we went to IP (when it was still called that), parts of the game area were cordoned off with tarp, and a peek behind showed all kinds of games in storage, just disconnected and apparently in various states of disrepair. I thought that was pretty bizarre at the time, but now, not so much. I think it's finis.

Incredible/Lido's is now slated to reopen as a Mr. Gatti's incarnation known as GattiTown.

Never been to a GattiTown, but I use to love me some Mr. Gatti's in days gone by.

Gattis....mmmmm....good salad bar!

Horrible pizza. They are all over the place in Texas. I've never had IP, but I can say that there is much better pizza in pretty much every town in the country.

On top of that, it's too bad that places like Crystal's are so easily forgotten.

I remember Crystal's and don't remember that it was anything special.

Crystal's food was good, not great but it was a great place for groups. Our family always preferred Shotgun Sam's for pizza but with the Sunday night after church crowd we always went to Crystal's.

It was in the early 80's

Went there all the time as a kid and still remember watching Little Rascals on the big screen

That's the point, you remember going there, the Little Rascals on the big screen, but you fail to mention any like/desire for the food.

Oh. and the food was good

When you're a kid and watching the Little Rascals any food probably tastes good. LOL

I remember the food being better than places like showbiz. It was as good as Mazzios is. Of course, if you're a pizza snob, nothing is good enough for you.

Tell me your not serious, it's more like Cici's or Tony's frozen.

We're talking about Crystal's right?

I don't think any of these types of places has great food.

They don't represent themselves as being gourmet restaurants. They are what they are and fall in their own niche. If they were more upscale their intended market probably couldn't afford to go there.

True, kids and preteens will eat anything as long as it doesn't have any vegetables on it. LOL

If you want good food, rides, games alot more then Incredible was I mean mini gold and go cart racing on Oklahomas largest outdoor tracks go to Celebration station. All the games are always working, people are very helpful and friendly, always people there year round. We just had the huge storm and snow is everywhere, kids are home from school and they are the only place open for business. Great place in my opinion. they are off I40 and meridian.

"They" in this case means "we" as you work there! Honesty is the best policy.

Hey sclines, don't worry about the name calling. Just follow Mike's advice (I notice you did identify yourself in a different thread)

This is a rumor, but I went to a friends house in Midwest City. They live close to Midwest blvd. Anyhow, they told me they heard from a Walmart employee at the Walmart Supercenter on Sooner road, that the old Walmart on Midwest blvd. was being turned into an Incredible Pizza.

Treat it as a rumor, but it would be cool if true. I don't know if Gattitown is as good as Incredible Pizza, but incase no one likes it, there may be a chance Incredible Pizza returns. At least I hope this rumor is true.

The old Albertsons over there is being torn down and rebuilt into a Walmart Market.

Not sure how reliable that'd be, the Incredible Pizza in OKC with a much better location didn't do so good. Maybe a similar style concept though? GattiTown's pizza and food is slightly better, if you could call it good. You get what you pay for, it's not much better than CiCi's.

Hopefully rumor is true, as MWC needs new life.

MWC needs new life.

MWC has plenty of life. lolol

Guess anything is possible but as Metro pointed out seems unlikely. it didn't make it as Incredible (bad) Pizza, changed the name to Lidos (which came and went almost before the bill for the new sign got paid) and became GattiTown. Overall, GattiTown's food is better than Incredible's and I would say a step above CiCis. They kept the basic elements of decor (with the separate eating areas). But the Warr Acres School Gymnasium is called something else now, the Diner still has the booths but is missing the TVs, the 50/60's home rec room with the Fireplace and TVs playing Andy Griffith episodes has been converted into the "Library", removing the fireplace & TVs. A few books, but replaced with faux bookshelves (wallpaper). The deep dish and regular crust pizzas are average. My favorite was their thin crust (have to ask, but like CiCis, if they don't have what you want just ask and they will make it for you. They did take out the soft serve machine, but have some dessert items. As far as I know, they still have all of the games and bowling etc as before. the price is much better than Incredibles, a bit higher than CiCis, but within reason. I will be back which is something I wouldn't do at Incredible (3 strikes and they were out...LOL)

Incredible Pizza didn't make it, because some random joe franchised it, saw the oppurtunity to make a huge profit off some person, and sold it off.

This is coming from a guy working at Gattitown, who has been working there since IP opened in Warr Acres in 2005.

They were not hurting at all. Some guy just wanted extra money.

Hell, I could franchise and open an Incredible Pizza if I had the money. Again, though, it's just a rumor. Rumors could be nothing more than empty ideas. It would be cool, however.

When I drove by I noticed it went out of business. What happened? I used to love that place. Great pizza, fun atmosphere and games. Wish it was still there

I haven't been to Incredible Pizza since it went by that name, If Gattytown is as good, I should like it. I just wish they kept the soft serve machines.

I am guilty as well of thinking it became a Chinese restaurant (I was thinking of Lido's in the Asian district)

It went out of business and changed to lido's for a brief stint, and is now Gattti Town:

I've been to both and GattiTown is a bigger joke than Incredible Pizza was. We were there about 2 weeks ago - they had maybe 4 pizzas out, no pastas, no potato bar, very little items on the salad bar. There is no way GattiTown is going to last.

I dunno .. sounds like they got their food costs under control

While I loved the concept and will agree with most of the original post, unfortunately it was Incredible (Bad) Pizza. As metro pointed out it has changed names but is essentially the same concept and still open for business. Think the games remained the same (didnt play so cant say with any certainty). Similar decor/themed dining rooms with some notable changes. The pizza is MUCH better now that it is Gatti's but they dont have the soft serve machine and dont have the lasagna anymore (which was pretty decent for a buffet place). Also, I think Gatti's prices are lower than they were for Incredible.

if you dont see the pizza you want, all you have to do is ask for it and they will make whatever you are wanting...will bring it to your table and everything. I always make sure I tip for the extra service.

Larry, you missed the year part of the post. It was 2011. LOL

I love the smell of zombie posts in the morning.

GattiTown has lasted than the other 2 chains it was before. You were probably there on a slow night.

Don't let your children anywhere near the house magician at Crystal's in the Dallas area.

Let's just say he blew one of those long balloons up, and then made sure to stick the entire 3 foot long balloon down his throat while you are eating.

Funny how I just stumbled across this post several years later....

I am the magician who performs at Crystals and have been for over 10 years. I'll have you know that the balloon swallow is likely one of my requested routines in my show from BOTH kids and adults alike. Its a light hearted routine and is quite funny for all who see it. Where would we be without humor? Oh yeah...Germany!

Sorry if you didn't like that...can't please em all. Hopefully you enjoyed the rest of my act that day. ;)

Good to hear that Crystals is still around down there as ours closed many years ago (have a box of the leftover Mexican looking tile they used...the same folks that owned Casa Bonita). Been meaning to get by there sometime but has been close to 3 years since my last Dallas area trip

Yup! We're still around! :)
