3 Vintage Shakey’s Pizza Commercials You Can Watch on YouTube
🍕 3 Great Old Shakey’s Pizza Commercials You Can Still Watch on YouTube
If you ever went to a Shakey’s back in the day, you know there was just nothing else like it. The smell of the pizza, the wooden tables, the player piano.. it was a scene. Shakey’s wasn’t just a pizza joint. It was a night out, a family ritual, a place you told your buddies about. These old TV spots still do the job: they yank you back to those nights like nothing else.
1. “Shakey’s” — 1980 commercial
This one’s pure 1980s energy. Bright, upbeat, and the kind of ad that makes you want to pile the family into the car and go right now. It nails the “fun night out” vibe that made Shakey’s special.
2. “Pizza Keeper” — 1978 spot
This 1978 spot (the “Pizza Keeper” box bit) is comforting in a way modern ads rarely are.. honest, simple, and all about the food and family. Those little production touches bring back the smell of hot pizza and the chatter of a lively dining room.
3. Mid-1970s — little girl bowling commercial
Kids, bowling, and a big pizza hitting the table — this commercial is pure memory juice. It’s the sort of clip that pulls up a photo you forgot you had of your own pizza nights back then. If you miss the community feel of old family restaurants, this one’s for you.
Watching these makes me realize how much of a social anchor places like Shakey’s used to be. Not just pizza, a whole night out. Nothing I go to now quite scratches that itch. If you liked these, drop a comment with your favorite Shakey’s memory. Maybe I’ve got a photo or two that’ll match it.
