Shakey’s marked its golden anniversary in the Philippines on March 15, 2025. The brand from the United States landed on Philippine shores in 1975, becoming the first ever chain pizza parlor in the country.
Shakey’s is now managed and owned by Shakey’s Pizza Asia Ventures Inc., one of the leading food service groups in the country with a portfolio of brands across casual restaurants and food kiosks.
Under the helm of SPAVI president and chief executive Vic Gregorio, the brand has evolved over the years, delivering double-digit growth year-on-year – a growth streak interrupted only by a global pandemic.
“As a brand, Shakey’s defined what pizza parlors are all about – fun, family, pizza. While it had its hey days in the 80s where it came to be known for live music and late-night crowds, it is and will always be a place where guests can get delicious pizza, enjoy good company with family and friends, and experience great service,” said Gregorio.
