Remember the old Shakey's 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?
Shakey's 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!

"world's greatest pizza," little Pietro's may be worth a shot
when you're in town.
