About Shaner’s

Welcome to Shaner's Pizza, where we've been proudly serving up delicious thin crust pizza since 1991. Our founder and owner, Shane Rawley, has been in the pizza business for more than twice as long as he's been playing baseball – and he still loves every minute of it!

While Shane may not be able to cover first base on a grounder anymore, he's always happy to chat with our customers and answer any baseball-related questions. He especially loves interacting with kids and showing off his collection of card tricks – so don't be shy about asking him to perform one for you!

At Shaner's Pizza, we're passionate about using only the freshest, highest-quality ingredients in all of our dishes. Whether you're in the mood for a classic cheese pizza, some mouth-watering wings, or a fresh, crisp salad, we've got you covered.

So come on in, grab a slice (or two!), and enjoy your time at Shaner's Pizza. We can't wait to serve you!
