I drove by the Incredible Pizza Company on NW Expressway and found that the signage was down and a "Lido's" sign is being hung in its place. Does anyone know what's going on there. This is my daughter's favorite restaurant and she is a bit distraught.
My father-in-law told me a couple of weeks ago that the owners have dropped their affiliation with the Incredible Pizza chain, but it was his understanding they were planning to persist the same theming under a new name. Don't really know any more than that, unfortunately. I always liked Incredible Pizza, and thought their offerings were miles better than Chuck-e-Cheese or Cici's, but don't know how things will turn out. I would notice that the place seems to have shrunk a bit in the last year or so, so perhaps their business hasn't been as good...dunno...
My son found this link. http://lido.ws/Locations This is the same owner as the origingal Incredible Pizza. It appears as if the Incredible Pizza locations are now just going to be Lido.
I've never been inside that building and don't have any idea what changes are going on there but I do know that the outside of the building has been repainted. It has gone from a very dark blue to a "not so gaudy" light brown.
Stupidest name ever for a kids fun place. People are going to think it's another location of the popular Lido's Chinese Food in the Asian district. Horrible color scheme too. Amateurish. Bet the place folds within a year.
Since Warr Acres doesn't have it's own sub forum I posted this here. Does anybody know why Incredible Pizza is now Lido Fun Center ? Has anything changed inside as far as the food and games are concerned ?
Yeah horrible name and horrible website. Doesn't look like it's ALL the former Incredible Pizzas, because it started in Missouri and then Tulsa.
Don't Edmond My Downtown
at first i thought lido was a itialian restaurant or it sounds like a club. club lido
Neato! Lido!
Coming from the former Pasadena, Texas Incredible Pizza location:
I was a little confused too because I went to go get a job application knowing that (up until this point) it was still Incredible Pizza. I went inside and it looked like it was still the old Incredible Pizza, but the car they had by the front was gone :'(
So, everything inside is still the same? Same pizza, games, etc? My son is begging to go there again, but I told him its not the same anymore.
They can probably expect to hear from these fine folks, too: http://www.ledopizza.com/
Got me all excited for nuthin'...shoot.
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?

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.
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.
