I really like coming to Shakers with my family. My kids enjoy the games and ice cream. Has a good salad bar, and beer on tap. We always have good service. Love the pizza, their dough is perfect. The garlic bread is really good! I do not recommend their calzones, ours was very undercooked and soggy. Prices are average for a pizza parlor. Good amount of parking and has its own parking lot. Definitely great place to come with your family or with friends to watch the games and have some beers. read more

Hey these guys do calzones and they're great. They're pretty much the only pizza spot in the tri city area that'll make you one:)

I can't believe it took me this long to write my review about this place. I first went here during the pandemic in 2020 for takeout. I'm glad this business is still open. I recommend if you're a pizza fan to try their style of pies. YES, I know there's a lot to choose from but in Fremont I consider this place a solid spot. This pizzeria has been here in our city for years and the pies are delicious. Slices are never cold, always loaded, and many types of pizza toppings to choose from. If you're looking for a homey local spot, check this place out. If you want something luxuriously, modern and fusion, this place isn't for you as it's more classic in my view. There's ample seating in the restaurant for work get-to-togethers or friends catching up over a shared pie. Their selection of beers isn't bad either! Hope you give them a chance. read more

You know this place is going to be amazing when you see a sign up front that stares, "no cleats allowed." When ordering salad for individuals, I recommend getting the all you can eat, because they guard the salad bar like the North Koreans guard the DMZ. We each had our very own mini salad, didn't break the rules because we are well off. In fact, we could easily buy this establishment, no problem. The pizza was just okay. We ordered a large sausage and black olive. Thick crust, cheesy and delicious; however, could have used more sauce because it was dry like the Sahara dessert. The people we sat next to were rather pedestrian, so it made me feel down to earth, like I was slumming. Was it loud? Yes but only from the conversations and laughter, as well as kids yelling and running around because their parents were oblivious. One last thing, I went to use the restroom and they blocked it off. I suspect that they didn't want to clean it because they are probably pretty lazy. At least they acted that way. The owners should be ashamed of their staff because they are not very friendly and accommodating. read more

Shakers Pizza - Pizza what else. - Pizza Near Me - Fremont, California

We were in Newark for a basketball tournament at Newark Memorial HS and we had some time before the game. We were looking for a good pizza place and decided to give Shakers a try. We are glad we gave it a try. Great service, friendly staff, and tasty pizza! Loved the arcade games and tv's to watch sports. It definitely gives you a late 80's or 90's vibe and I loved it. The pizza: it was good and I really liked their crust. My husband had the pepperoni and enjoyed it. I had some sausage and onion and it was tasty. My son had the cheese and he liked it. We also tried their garlic cheese bread which came with ranch. It was pretty good. Being from the Midwest, I loved the ranch they served with it. If I am in this area again I will definitely be back. read more

Shakers, please be better. I saw the man making the pizza use the pizza paddle to lower the trash in the trashcan then proceed to touch the food. that is disgusting and not sanitary. the cashier or manager whoever she was that I spoke with said that the trashcan was only used for parchment paper for the pizza when I deliberately seen him clean something with a napkin and throw it in the trash disgusting and this place should be cited. I definitely asked for my money back after that. read more

Idk what happened to the good crust they use to have. The pizza we got today was kinda round but not really and it was not fluffy with a good chewy like it used to be. They had a lot of staff but the only one that looked happy to serve my family was the young man that brought our pizza to the table. Everyone else gave a don't ask me for anything type vibes. Also what's up with the "salad bar"? They have regular store bought bottles for dressings and store bagged croutons and toppings. Why pay for something that you have at home ? Inside floors were dirty and the place overall is a bit ran down. Pizza 6/10 Potato skins 7/10 Bread sticks/rolls 7/10 See pics for reference. read more

Been here a bunch of times before, and the staff is always SO nice. The pizza is REALLY GOOD. They have every ingredient you could ever want on a pizza, and it's all super fresh. They even have a scrumptious SALAD BAR still, with all of the classics. My husband and I wanted to try some different items so I got a hot salami and mozzarella sandwich, and my husband got a calzone. Both had the yummy crunchy cheese edges. I tried the ice cream for the first time, and it was soooo creamy! Will be coming back here for the ice cream for sure!! Love this place. read more

Great tasting combo pizzas in my opinion for residing in Centerville! Busy and packed for parties. Just allow time for orders to be made. Nice to know pizza parlors still exist. read more

Shakers Pizza - Pizza Near Me - Fremont, California

Positives: Friendly, attentive and positive staff. Pizza toppings were good, sauce and toppings remind me of Round Table's which is pretty good, IMO. Great ambience, atmosphere similar to the old Shakee's pizzerias of the past. Negatives: If I have to nit-nick anything it might be the crust which is a bit thick for my perfect liking, but that is probably a matter of style more than anything. Overall: a very nice pizza joint in Fremont area in the older traditional style of Shakee's., very amenable to families looking for some fun, noise and pizza. Great for pickup/deliveries. read more

Shakers seems to be a little hit or miss sometimes, but usually the pizza is great. Tonight we really enjoyed our half meatball half hawaiian pizza. The cheese was melted perfectly, the crust was cooked just right and we got our money's worth. It can be loud inside at times because there are games and tvs, but it has a great "old fashioned" pizza place vibe. I am not the biggest fan of the service- I find it inconsistent. More times than not it's fine, but once in a while something is askew. Overall I believe Shakers is a solid pizza joint offering delicious food and a laid back atmosphere read more

I have always passed this place and could never actually stop until now! It's definitely a hole in the wall, anybody who likes nostalgia will love this place. Inside the building definitely reminds me of a 90s vibe, has an arcade, a salad buffet bar, and a cool old school bar. The service was outstanding, it was pretty empty so everyone all teamed up to help me even though i just placed a pickup order over the phone. *Warning* they do NOT have a website, you can only order over the phone and they unfortunately do not deliver, but when you look them up on google, it says that you can order online but it's a scam company that takes your money. The company announced it on their Facebook page, but i just wanted to let everyone know on here as well in case they don't know. *End warning* Other than that, the pizza was good. It was not a 5 star pizza unfortunately, but it is a 4 star pizza which is still good. Again, we did pick up, so i believe that the pizza would be amazing if you ate inside. I do wanna try that salad buffet, & i look forward to bringing my kids inside to try this place out. If you're in the area, please dine in! Such a nostalgic pizza parlor, perhaps i will update my review after dining in! read more

I been here since I was about 7 years old for my elementary basketball team parties. I rarely come here but everytime its the best pizza I've ever had. And you can tell the dough ratio competes with that of Seniores in the city! I can honestly say this place should never go away. Its the only thing that keeps central Newark steady after the loss of Dino's. read more

Shakers pizza has always been a place that I've passed on my way home and always wanted to try. I like supporting small businesses, so I went with my husband and one year old baby girl. They have a good selection of beer and a pretty big salad bar but the pizza is a different story. After a 50 minute wait, we finally got our pizza and it looked good (because of how hungry we were) but it did not taste as good as it looked. The veggies were undercooked and the bottom of the pizza was so hard not even my baby could eat it. If you're looking for a good place to eat, I would suggest Bronco Billy's pizza in Nile's (they never go wrong!). But yeah this place is over-rated and over hyped. The establishment takes so long making the hard pizza that they starve you so you'd be hungry enough to eat anything. read more

Tried for the first time and was pleased with my pizza. I would have given a 5 star but had to wait and hope someone would take my order at the counter. A staff person walked to the counter and instead of taking my order answered the phone that had just started to ring. Hope they can do better in the service department but will come back for the pizza. read more

Been coming here for years. It's just pretty damned good pizza with reasonable beer prices. I usually get the combination pizza with fresh tomatoes (meaning they're put on when it comes out of the oven) gives it a fresh taste. They even have green olives, which takes me back to pizza in my home town. I go with "extra crispy crust too". The only thing that would change this review to a 5-star is if the owner put in a wood fired oven. read more

Local neighborhood Pizza, seems like the perfect place for kids birthdays and after-sports events. A sweet family owns this place and I would continue to support this over any franchises. Call-in order was easy and I really liked picking up from the giant wooden door, my son calls it the "pizza castle" and I always get the feeling of a grand adventure or mystery when grabbing the door handles and swinging open those large front doors. Both pizzas had slightly puffier and dough-y crust than other places. This isn't necessarily bad, my wife loved dough like this. The sauce was used a bit sparingly but the pizza was totally covered in toppings so you feel like you are getting your moneys worth. A good pizza for a good price though we personally prefer a bit more char on the bottom. We ordered the Hawaiin and sausage + pepperoni and would repeat. read more

Come on now best pizza any place on this side of the bay been coming for years now and there is no better pizza

This Place is an a Prime Example on How Pizza Places should be... Old School Vibe. The Pizza's are really good. Perfectly thick and loaded with Stuff... Fresh Veggies at the Salad Bar. And the Beer!!! They have the Best Selection! Pliny the Elder, Space Dust, etc... Don't have to wait long for the Pizza... Most the time they have someone Pouring the Brews so No Waiting for that either... read more

Good pizza , but spotty service. If you order takeout make sure to check they don't slide in and smoosh the pizza, has happened on quite a few occasions. It's because they have a lot of young careless employees and work a bit too fast. read more

Working in the neighborhood I was in need of a decent lunch. I drove past this joint and it caught my eye being the only non commercial fast food spot in the immediate area. Decent sized parking lot and to go orders only so it worked out for me either way on my 30 min lunch break I got the mini pizza with a soda meal which is sold only until 2pm fyi. It's about the size of a ballpark pizza but without the pizza hut taste or the round table price. I'm usually against tiny pizzas because the toppings to crust ratio usually gets lost. Today I made the exception and glad I did. No flavor left behind in the small sized pie. Flavor jam packed into the small box. Very impressed with the flavor but not as impressed as when I was paying at the register. I was expecting to spend a good 10-15 bones but to my surprise.. it was 4.75 for the mini pizza and a decent sized fountain drink. Literally made my day that much better and I left a tip for the amount I was expecting to spend to show my appreciation. The inside is pretty cool and when covid and all that else passes, seems like a fun place to watch a game and have a good time. Customer service was pretty good too. I was told 15-20 mins for my food and I arrived in 15 exactly when it was being pulled out of the oven. If I could say anything bad about my experience it's the straw for my soda was like an icee shovel on one end type but that's nothing to even consider holding against them. This place is pretty cool and I'd recommend ordering here, they deserve to outlast any shut downs read more

The pizza is delicious. Could be frustrating at times that they can't be found on any of the delivery apps, but it's well worth it when actually getting a chance to eat at the restaurant. I like that they're also pretty flexible with coupons since you can go to the website while in line and grab a coupon to use for the order. read more

It took more than 45 minutes to get our pizza Our kids were starving. When we ask, the reason is because they have to serve more than 100 people before. Well, should let us know when we were ordering that it's gonna take a while to get the pizza done. We want to support the local business but if this is the service that we get, then it's gonna hard. Our kids were very disappointed. We ordered 1 cheese pizza for our kids and 1 combo for us. The combo pizza came but not the cheese. When we asked, they then said it'll take 7 minutes for the cheese pizza to come. Seems that they forgot the cheese pizza order but they did not admit it. Not even an apology or sorry. Very disappointing. read more

Pizza was all crust not enough cheese and the sauce was sour. And over priced for what it is. Never go here again. Good riddance

I have not been here for over 10 years. Shakers was a piece of my childhood. Many of my friends would have birthday parties here. Today the family and I decided to order pizza. I am so happy we did.I loved that the pizza was hot and fresh when I picked it up. All the employees wore masks and were following the covid guidelines. The Hawaiian pizza was perfect. The crust had a great chew, the sauce has a lot of flavor and all the toppings worked well together. It tasted just like I remembered. We also had the garlic bread with cheese. It was good but I would have liked more garlic flavor. The pizza is definitely the star here. I will definitely order Shakers again. read more

Pizza was decent we ordered pizza to go 10/01/22 my husband said it was packed in there. Which is a good sign. We ordered a medium combination and a medium pepperoni an order of hot wings and bbq wings. Everything was ok it wasn't the best I have had but not the worst. The hot wings were great the bbq wings didn't even look like wings it was fatty and clumped up together. I wish I would have taken a picture before throwing it out. But it's a decent pizza spot read more

Ordered to-go from here last week to try a new pizza spot and support local businesses (really trying to make sure McDonald's isn't the only restaurant that survives covid, right?) BF and I got the large half & half: cheese on one half and combo on the other. It was $28 (they charge a dollar for each extra topping) Pros: - local business, peeking in the inside it looks like it would be a really chill place to chill, grab a beer, and watch the game. (really feel like my rating would have been higher if I had the chance to sit and eat with the restaurant's real vibes - boo covid go away) - not bad pizza, taste was alright - Liked the little crunch in the crust Cons: - $28 was kind of pricey (I know that we did this to ourselves getting half and half combo) but it seemed like it should've been less than $25 - Not pizza that tastes good cold, best if eaten right away hot - I didn't like that the sausages kind of tasted like meatballs - Crust is a little too thick for my liking read more

First time trying this place! We ordered one extra large Combo and a large half half Hawaiian and All Meats! Although some of the meats were salty, the pizzas were still pretty good! The bread/crust was a little thick, but I liked how it was a bit crunchy. However, I was disappointed with the Hawaiian because I found 4 strands of hairs (eyelashes and hair) on 2 slices alone. It sort of grossed me out especially because of the whole COVID-19 situation. I would still come back and try their other specialities! read more
