History


For OVER 62 years - Pass Key Restaurants is a Pueblo Icon. 

Pass Key started as a Drive-In when Frank and John Pagano purchased the original Pass Key Drive-In from Uncle Sam and Aunt Theresa Pagano in 1952. Success has come from proven recipes that have been satisfying the Southern Colorado palettes for over 60 years!  

Pueblo is a unique place. At one point Pueblo was the #1 employer of people in Colorado, with the CFI Steel Plant a John D. Rockefeller based company, with a rich history of employing a variety of immigrants from Italians to Slavic based heritages, that creates a unique mixture of Old World Style that exist's to this day. From the Mountain Mafia, Steel City, Home of Heroes, and now the NCAA National D2 Football Champion CSU Pueblo. Pueblo has flavor!

In addition to Pueblo History, an important note is our rich soil as a keystone for some of the leading ranching and richest farming in the world.  All of our Italian Sausage is FRESH, and NEVER Frozen.  All our Bread is LOCAL and all of our ingredients are sources locally. Fresh from Farm and Ranch to YOU!

In 2000 the Pagano Family opened the newest Pueblo location of four (4), here in Pueblo West, the upscale area of Pueblo County, landscaped by the Rocky Mountains, PKPW brings a fresh new building and atmosphere to a proven menu offering its own unique lineup of Pass Key Italian Sausage Sandwiches® (PKISS).  Over the last 63 years, this historical Italian Sausage Sandwich has been know to be requested by people all over the United States by express mail. Our sandwich is known to be the first thing eaten by people visiting from out of town.

  1. Love this place. . . I live in Denver but when I get to Pueblo this is a must stop! You all should open one in Denver.

    When we go to visit you all we come back with about 10 sandwiches for our family here at home!

    So not only do we eat there but must bring some home too!!
