Learn About Jakeeno’s
On December 26, 1975, Jack and Carol Keegan opened Jakeeno’s Pizza and Pasta on the corner of 36th and Chicago in South Minneapolis. For the Keegan family, serving the neighborhood with quality Italian food at a fair price was always the focus, and continued to be after daughters Patty and Amy Keegan took over Jakeeno’s from their parents in 1999. Since then, Patty and Amy have diversified the business through a wholesale division that brings their longstanding recipes for pizza and pasta sauces and frozen pizzas to local shops and co-ops. You can find all of it at both Seward Co-op stores.
For nearly 50 years, Jakeeno’s has prioritized community. While working to develop new ways to connect with customers, they also provide a fun, safe, welcoming place for people to gather and share in their family’s love of food. They frequently partner with local organizations to offer their products for fundraising, saying “commitment to our Minneapolis neighborhood is just as important as serving good food.”
