Shakey’s Pizza Parlor
From Madison Pizza Wiki
Shakey's Pizza Parlor was a national pizza chain with a long-running Madison parlor at 3579 E. Washington Ave., on the corner of East Washington Avenue and Stoughton Road[1].
History
The East Side Shakey's ran for more than thirty years at the corner building — "For 30-plus years, this space was a Shakey's Pizza, then a lackluster China Buffet," a 2016 review recalled[2]. China Buffet held the building from 1999 to 2015; OM Indian Fusion Cuisine remodeled it extensively and ran there from June 2016 to March 2019[1]. When OM closed, the State Journal noted the location was "most famously home to Shakey's Pizza Parlor"[1].
When the parlor opened has not yet been found in the papers; thirty-plus years before 1999 points to the late 1960s.
