Nostalgic restaurant "Shakey's" to say goodbye for good

[creepycoug]

Pizza Pete in Aberdeen or GTFO. The last great pizza hangout of my yute. Godfather's wasn't the same.

Pizza Pete was a chain? I remember old man Nacho talking about Pizza Pete in the context of a local sponsoring a youth sports team.

not a chain.

funny story. That place was overflowing with people on Friday and Sat. Parking lot raging. Not a seat in the house. Sure, some kids were there to fuck around and not buy. But trust me they were moving pizza, beer and soda on those nights. Owner decided to get cute and ban the hanging out crowd. Boom. Boom. Out go the lights. Place stumbled along for a few yeas and died a slow death. conclusion? Never get rid of traffic when you’re selling cheap and easy to reproduce shit.

Last one I went to was in Totem Lake in Kirkland. Now it is Cafe Veloce which has been there for years. It seemed like every pizza Shakeys made had big chunks of green pepper and tomatoes.

I preferred Pizza Haven in the upper mall of Totem Lake mall.

I don't have any memory of a Shakey's in Totem Lake. That's odd

Shakey's used to be down on E. Sprague by Two Swabbies. A real treat to go there.
Then Lincoln Heights Pizza opened up with DuckHunter and Shakey's moved down the pizza list.
It was damned good pie though. Crunchy thin crust.

Loved Lincoln Heights Pizza Parlor, great memories!
My old man was from there and it was the place we always ate after arriving in Spokane Friday night in the early 70s for the weekend. Dad, new step mom only 14 years older than me and their couple friends with kids from toddler to teenagers like me and my lil sis. Never ran out of fresh pizza, pop or quarters. Fun times, hadn’t thought about that place in 40 years! Dad was in politics with a huge Jaycees network of close friends, there was never a dull moment visiting family on the South Hill. csb

The South Hill was a small community in the late 70s/early 80s. The Throbber probably squeezed your cousin’s boobies.
