Shakey's Pizza was the first important pizza chain restaurant in the United States and in many ways pioneered the concept of the chain pizza parlor. It is noted for its unique features: The chains are decorated in a variety of informal styles; traditionally having tables lined end to end the width of the dining room and seating provided on wooden stools. There is usually a window called the open kitchen, allowing children to watch the pizza being made. Shakey’s offer not only pizzas but a variety of other products. Besides pizza, Shakey's has developed other menu items into trademarks, including its MoJo potatoes (breaded and deep-fried potato slices) and fried chicken and salads.
