Best Value Picks on the Menu
If you’re watching your budget, here’s where Shakey’s Pizza gives you the most for your money:
7″ Individual Build Your Own Pizza ($5.99). A single-serving pizza built exactly the way you want it, for less than most combo sides cost elsewhere.
Garlic Bread ($1.99) and Bottled Water ($1.99). Two of the cheapest items on the entire menu.
Golden Fried Chicken or Boneless Strips ($3.75 each). Ordering a few pieces alongside a small pizza is often cheaper than upgrading to a full chicken combo.
Supercard. Shakey’s loyalty program offers buy-one-get-one pizza deals on delivery and carryout, plus a free pizza during your birthday month, making repeat visits noticeably cheaper over time.
How Shakey’s Pizza Compares
Shakey’s holds a distinct place in pizza history as the first franchised pizza chain in the United States, predating Pizza Hut and Domino’s by several years. Its thin, crisp crust and Mojo Potatoes give it a different identity than deep-dish or Chicago-style competitors, and the addition of fried chicken to the menu gives it more variety than a pizza-only chain like Papa John’s. While Shakey’s U.S. footprint has shrunk substantially since its 1960s peak of hundreds of locations, the brand has found much larger, sustained success internationally, particularly in the Philippines, where it operates as a separate, publicly traded company with hundreds of restaurants.
About Shakey’s Pizza
Shakey’s Pizza was founded on April 30, 1954, when Sherwood “Shakey” Johnson and his college friend Ed Plummer opened a restaurant called Shakey’s Pizza Parlor & Ye Public House in a remodeled former grocery store at 57th and J Streets in Sacramento, California. Johnson picked up his nickname in the Navy after suffering nerve damage from a bout of malaria during World War II. On opening weekend, the pizza ovens weren’t finished yet, so the parlor served only beer, with Johnson using those first profits to buy pizza ingredients the following Monday. Johnson, an amateur jazz pianist, entertained guests himself in the early days before hiring Dixieland bands and banjo players, turning the parlor into as much of a music venue as a restaurant.
The concept caught on quickly, growing to 272 locations by 1967, when Johnson sold his half of the company to the Colorado Milling and Elevator Company; Plummer sold his share the following year for a reported $10 million. Shakey’s is widely credited as the first franchised pizza chain in the United States, and it expanded internationally starting in the late 1960s, including a 1975 launch in the Philippines that has since grown into a separate, publicly traded company, Shakey’s Pizza Asia Ventures. While the U.S. side of the business shrank considerably over the following decades, down to around 40 to 60 locations concentrated in California and Washington, Shakey’s remains headquartered in Alhambra, California, and continues to operate hundreds of restaurants internationally, mainly across the Philippines, Singapore, and Japan.
Why Shakey’s Pizza Is Famous
The first franchised pizza chain in America. Shakey’s predates Pizza Hut and Domino’s, having pioneered the pizza franchise model in the mid-1950s.
Mojo Potatoes. Seasoned, crispy potato wedges have become nearly as central to the Shakey’s experience as the pizza itself.
Thin-crust pizza. A crisp, cracker-style crust has remained the chain’s signature since its earliest days.
A music-and-family atmosphere. Live Dixieland jazz and banjo players defined the original parlors, and the family-friendly, gather-and-celebrate vibe has carried through to today’s locations.
