Totally 80’s Pizza

Normally, we rarely go out to eat while we are home. But this week alone, I have more than made up for that. I have gone out to eat three times this week. That’s more than we normally eat out in six months. Two of those times have been with Janet, Bob and their exchange student Luke. First We went to Durbar’s Durbar Nepalese and Indian Food, then I went out to lunch at Mumtaz, for Middle Easter Food with my friend Janene. Mediterranean Mumtaz And yesterday, Janet and Bob invited me to a spur of the moment lunch to a fun place called Totally 80’s Pizza, located in Fort Collins, which is about an hour north of us.

The 80’s were my coming of age times. They were fun, good and mostly innocent times. Totally 80’s Pizza is a fun pizzeria that is also a museum dedicated to life in the 1980’s. Come for the pizza and food, and while you are enjoying the pizza, explore the museum. You can either relive your past, or learn about it if you are to young to remember what the 80’s were like. Janet, Bob and I knew every single thing that was showcased. It brought back very fond and happy memories for all of us. Luke, however, is only 17, and from Germany, so he didn’t know about any of this pop culture history. It was fun to see his take on all of it.

We took in all the exhibits of the museum as we were waiting for our lunch to arrive, as well as after we finished. There is SO MUCH to see. You could spend hours just looking at everything, or playing the video games.

Remember all the Rocky movies?

Or Ghostbusters, or the Nightmare series, with Freddie Kruger?

All the table tops were photos of 80’s TV shows.

Luke and Arnold, The Terminator.

Everything was behind glass and there were a lot of lights around, so not all of the pictures came out great. Plus some were high up on the walls and hard to catch with the camera. I apologize for some of the fuzzy pictures.

What teenage girl in the 80’s didn’t want the perfect Farrah Fawcett hair?

The famous ZOLTAR from BIG, with Tom Hanks.

Totally 80’s Pizza was created by Alex Morgan.  It took 10 years to track down and collect all the memorabilia in the museum.  We wanted to create a fun place where the younger generations could learn about the greatness of the 1980’s. 

The most important part of any restaurant is the food.  We make our own dough and sauce with 14 herbs and spices.  Totally 80’s Pizza features salads, chicken wings, garlic parmesan twists and ice cold beer on tap.  There are no waiters at Totally 80’s.  Come in, order at the counter, sit back and enjoy some fantastically cheesy 80’s music videos and some even cheesier pizza.

Many 1980s icons have stopped by Totally 80’s Pizza!  Corey Feldman (Goonies, Stand By Me), John Paragon (Jambi the Genie on Pee Wee’s Playhouse), Ernest Cline (Author of Ready Player One) & Robin Shelby (Slimer in Ghostbusters) and more.

After looking around we ordered two kinds of pizza and some stuffed mozzarella cheese twists to share.
