Shakey’s is home to the original brick oven-baked thin crust pizza for the past 35 years. When asked what is its core product, Shakey’s will always reply that it will be their unique brick-oven baked thin crust pizza. Through the years people have said that Shakey’s Thin Crust pizza is unique and distinct from other pizzas in terms of its flavor, smell, the way they look, and even and the way they feel in the mouth when you bite into one. This is because Shakey’s Thin Crust Pizza has the perfect blend of taste, texture and aroma and no thin crust pizza comes near it in quality or taste!
So what makes this kind of pizza different? Shakey’s Executive Vice President and COO, Vic Gregorio shares the important elements that produce Shakey’s perfect brick-oven baked thin crust pizza.
THE DIFFERENCE.
It all starts with using only the best and freshest ingredients and using them in perfect balanced portions. This pizza recipe was a result of the many years the original founders of the brand put in to develop a perfect thin crust pizza.
What is PIZZA without Cheese? Shakey’s uses only 100% natural aged cheddar cheese because this type produces a sharp rich cheese taste that flavor-conscious people love. Aged Natural Cheddar cheese doesn’t have that stretched cheese pizza look but it really gives Shakey’s Thin Crust pizza that bold full flavor taste that Pinoys love. It is pure cheese made from 100% cow’s milk and has no cheese extenders whatsoever. No processed or artificial cheeses for Shakey’s Thin Crust pizza!
Meat Toppings. Shakey’s uses beef and sausage toppings made of only 100% pure high-grade ground meat. Shakey’s beef and sausage toppings are prepared the old fashion way where fresh quality meat is mixed only with rich herbs and spices to produce flavor-packed and great smelling meat toppings. Again, no meat extenders are used for this. Vegetable toppings are only from high quality produce which are sliced and cut only on the day they are needed to ensure freshness.
Shakey’s Thin Crust pizza sauce is another big secret. Sourced from quality suppliers and made from high grade tomatoes, the recipe has remained consistent the last 35 years and has the distinct taste and aroma that is easily distinguishable as Shakey’s!
And finally the Shakey’s Thin Crust, probably the most important differentiation. The pizza crust (also called pizza skins) of Shakey’s uses a very secret recipe. Made only from premium high gluten flour and prepared in a very special by artisans called skinmen. The whole process produces a pizza crust that is thin and crisp on the outside but astonishingly has a soft wafer thin chewiness inside. There are many thin pizza crust out there but absolutely nothing is like the crust of the Shakey’s Thin Crust pizza.
Lastly, all these special and high quality ingredients are used in the perfect proportions and baked in specially designed stone brick ovens until they achieve a great home style looking pizza (not flat or “supermarket looking” crust that are perfect circle). Shakey’s Thin Crust pizza have perfectly melted cheese and cooked toppings with visible air pockets, dimpled brown bottom and even slightly burnt looking crust edges. Just looking at it will make your mouth water.
Indeed Shakey’s brick-oven baked thin crust has always been imitated but never equaled!
The Thin Crust Challenge
A critical step in serving this special pizza is the CRUST CHECK, a task that guarantees the pizza served is of the right quality. When serving the Shakey’s Thin Crust pizza, the Shakey’s staff should lift a slice of pizza with a spatula, half the length of the slice, to show the guest that the crust is crisp and does not limp or sag. Only fresh and perfectly baked pizzas will pass this test thus ensuring the guest gets what they went to Shakey’s for.. Perfect Thin Crust Pizzas…. all the time.
