Shakey’s Through The Years, Good Times, Great Memories

Walking in Shakey's Pizza Parlor in Loyola, Katipunan last Tuesday, I told myself (as always) "here, trippin' down memory lane."

For generations people have been coming to Shakey's to share good food and good times with family and friends.

I grew up on Shakey's pizza , I still love it. During my high school days, with my best friend, we would hang out at Shakeys Cubao and Shakey's Espana, Sampaloc Manila. Shakeys was the best pizza I've ever had, I absolutely love their pepperoni pizza and their mojo potatoes.

Thanks for my friend inviting me to join the Shakey's Business Roundtable, last Tuesday, April 22, 2014, held in Shakey's Katipunan Branch to share great memories, moments, developments and new offerings of Shakey's.

The best legacies come from the most passionate endeavors. Shakey’s Philippines has been a strong brand in the pizza segment of the local food service since its inception. Their continuing success was somehow already evident with the opening of the very first Shakey’s in the Philippines.

Developed by four of the food industry’s giants, Shakey’s emerged as an avenue for marketing San Miguel’s newest draft beer. The first Philippine branch opened in 1975 in the city of Makati, soon followed by stores all over the metro.

Almost four decades later, Shakey’s is now a successful nationwide franchise with over 100 restaurants. Their latest innovation exhibits a change in image and ambiance to feature the present family-oriented, wholesome, and clean atmosphere. Constantly in tune with their roots, the brand maintains the warmth and familiarity that have made their stores a sensation.

They continue to satisfy loyal customers, while gathering a new following, through their world-famous thin crust pizza and hand-tossed versions as well as a wide spectrum of ala carte items including Shakey’s awesome twosome: Chicken ‘N Mojos, and pasta.

Current offerings such as their American Salad and Fun Mixes (Lemon Cucumber Cooler and Mixed Berry Slush) give guests something more to look forward to with each visit.
