Rose & Ernie Jacobson opened the first Jake’s Pizza in Albert Lea in 1964 and created the recipes that are still used today. In April 1972, Vern “Sarge” Carstensen, brother to Rose & Ernie, opened Jake’s Stadium Pizza in Mankato, Minnesota.

In 1997, Sarge’s Daughter Brenda Boyer and son-in-law Wally Boyer, became owners of Jake’s Stadium Pizza. They have carried the legacy forward using the same techniques, recipes and fresh ingredients as generations past. In 2012, they opened a second location, Jake’s Pizza of Saint Peter.

Today a third generation is part of the business. Andrew Boyer, son of Brenda & Wally, is the Manager of Jake’s Stadium Pizza and their son Jonathan Boyer is the Manager of Jake’s Pizza of Saint Peter.
