          IRVING, TEXAS -- MAY 23, 1995 -- ShowBiz Pizza Time, Inc.
     (Nasdaq:  SHBZ) today released the following statement in
     response to media requests for information regarding Joshua S.
     Friedman seeking a seat on the Company's board of directors.

     "ShowBiz Pizza Time intends to respond more fully in a letter to
     shareholders regarding Joshua S. Friedman's effort to gain a seat
     on the Company's board of directors.  Mr. Friedman is a partner
     with and financial adviser of Bennett S. LeBow.  In our opinion,
     Mr. Friedman may have conflicts of interest because of his
     financial arrangements with LeBow with respect to LeBow's
     investments in ShowBiz Pizza.  Given LeBow's history of utilizing
     the companies he controls for what we believe is his own personal
     financial enrichment, we do not feel that it is in our
     shareholders' best interests for him or any of his affiliates or
     associates to have a seat on ShowBiz Pizza Time's board of
     directors.  In our opinion, this could fractionalize our board
     and, at a minimum, pose a distraction to management at a time
     when it is devoting much of its energy to the company's
     remodeling program -- a program, incidentally, that LeBow and his
     affiliates have endorsed."
