Grew up in Carmichael in the 80s, fairly close to the Arden P&P – we only went there once, maybe twice as a kid because my parents hated how loud the dang organ was. But I asked to go constantly. I recall they had some cool rides, like a tiny indoor ferris wheel for toddlers. Don’t remember anything about their pizza though. Thanks for the link, will have to give it a nostalgia read.

Lounge Chinatown at 366 8th St. in Oakland Chinatown (the former site of the Uyghur Eden Silk Road) has applied for a liquor license in October 2022. It is reported to be a fast-casual Taiwanese and Chinese lounge serving street food and will be open until 2 am.
