Buffet, entertainment center rebrands for 25th anniversary
A Springfield-based chain of buffet/entertainment centers have announced that it will take on a new name recognizing that it’s more than just pizza. Incredible Pizza Company announced it will now be known as Incredible Food and Fun at the 2025 IAAPA Expo in Orlando, Florida.
“The new name and visual identity reflect the company’s evolution over 25 years, growing from an all-you-can-eat pizza buffet into a nationally recognized destination for attractions, modern food experiences, and unforgettable family moments,” the company said in a press release.
The redesigned brand will debut at the Springfield flagship, which is the company’s original location.
Incredible Food and Fun was established in 2001 as Incredible Pizza Company by founders Rick and Cheryl Barsness. The company is known for its 80,000 square-foot indoor family entertainment centers that offer attractions, arcade games, rides and immersive experiences alongside freshly prepared food. The facilities are smoke-free and alcohol-free.

The Almighty Sando Shop, 208 W. McDaniel St., has added new hours and a late night menu after customer requests. The spot for unique sandwiches is now open late on Fridays and Saturdays for those in Downtown Springfield craving snacks after hitting up the bars or seeing shows.
