Remember the old Shakeys Pizza joints with Mr. Shakey himself adorning the sign. Culver City, famous for preservation of historical sites, is home to one of these. If you're ever driving up Washington Boulevard, don't forget to give Mr. Shakey a wave. He may actually tip his chefs hat at you. Wouldn't that be a sight to see? Shakeys Pizza was founded by Sherwood "Shakey" Johnson in 1954 in a remodeled grocery store in Sacramento. On the first night it opened, Sherwood played the piano and his partner Ed Plummer served only beer...since their pizza ovens were not yet completed. Don't forget to order Shakey's famous MoJo Potatoes!

This Casa Bianca pizza joint looks somewhat like one of the The Hat locations found in Southern California.

Hungry for some pizza and looking to also check out a rather rotund king character? Well, then, Pizza King in Long Beach is the place to go.
