According to Shakey's website, this pizza parlor is only in California, North Carolina, and Washington state in the U.S. now. This was my family's go-to pizza joint when my father was stationed with the Air Force outside of Omaha, Nebraska. We liked it so much, that when we were transferred again, it was hopeful we'd find another one.

Crispy, golden potatoes, topped with a deliciously smokey tomato sauce with a slight kick, and a decadent aioli. Classic tapa perfection achieved without deep frying. Patatas Bravas is one of the most classic Spanish tapas. Deep fried potatoes, topped with a slightly spicy and smokey tomato sauce and crowned with dollops of garlicky aioli are served at both humble and ambitious restaurants across the nation – usually accompanied by an array of other tapas, and a cold caña (small beer) or copa (glass of wine). It’s rustic, but also elegant in its simplicity, with bold flavors and room for cooks to create their own spin on it.
