Zachary's has some of the best pizza in the world. The deep dish spinach and mushroom is to die for. Rarely, one receives atrocious service here, but who cares? -- the pizza is just that good... (more)

Zachary's STUFFED pizza is great. It is not deep dished pizza, it is stuffed. It reminds one of Giordano's, which is the best stuffed pizza in Chicago. They sell thin crust pizza by the slice, but not the stuffed pizza,... (more)

Legendary deep dishes this side of the Mississippi... try the vegetarian (tomato only) pizza, they are so fresh, cheesy, and delicious. Eat in or take out, both are excellent. (more)

Well after many years of hearing about this place I ventured to it. I got lucky and had a parking place right in front 10 feet from the door at 1145 am. on a Thursday. I had called in for my order I saddle up and paid. My... (more)

Every time I'm in the Oakland I make a stop to this small but enjoyable Chicago style pizza joint. Since the pizza takes at least 30 minutes to make I recommend calling before hand so its ready when you pick it up and no... (more)

OK, #1 Zachary's deep dish pizza is very good. But... This reminds of the time I visited the Eiffel Tower. After thousands of dollars in airfare and hotels, and hours and hours of travel, there it was. Just like in a... (more)

There's a reason the wait for a table is super long, because people know this is the best Chicago style pizza around! You can't go wrong, especially with the thick crust and fresh toppings.... (more)

Nice enviorment with friendly waiters ... some wait expected unless off hours. BUT THE POINT IS - that pizza is way too salty and that famous tomato souce on top of the pizza taste like supermarket caned pasta souce,... (more)

If you are craving pizza, Zachary?s is the place to go. Fair warning, because of its huge popularity, you may have to wait awhile for a table, but it is totally worth the wait. Insider tip.... order your pizza while you... (more)

Really, Zachary's is in my Top 5 Reasons to live in Berkeley. If I had to leave, I know this would be the place I'd miss. Deep dish is awesome, but filling. A Real Man™ can be hard pressed to finish two slices... (more)

I think this place is a great place to get a pie. I have never had a stuffed pizza until Zachary's and now I am asking myself why I have waited so long. The tomatoes they place on the top are so good. The crust of the pizza is... (more)

4/3/07 Ordered a large deep dish sausage, onion, and mushroom, $26 and a thin slice of veggie combo. I came to Oakland just try the pizza. It has received a lot of good mentions, and to me uncooked dough is not properly... (more)

I love love love Zachary's pizza. Deep dish chicken and basil. Or deep dish special with bell peppers and sausage. Or deep dish anything! Wish they had more locations so that I didn't have to drive to Oakland for... (more)

I'm all about the half baked pizza's. No waiting in line, no tips (haha), and you can go home and heat it up on your own. The pizza can't get any fresher. Whenever my work brings me by a Zachary's Pizza, I always have to stop... (more)

I had the Zachary's special stuffed pizza (sausage, mushrooms, onions, bell pepper)...too little topping for a combo pizza, IMO. The pizza top layer was covered with crushed tomtatoes and sauce and just too much... (more)

My family went back up north for New Year's and my boss made me swear to eat here before coming back. We were not dissapointed! Other than the bread (which is more akin to dough as it's so soft!) we were surprised to see the... (more)

Went here in August 2006 had a reasonable wait and the PIZZA was absolutely terrific. Get here early if possible to avoid a long wait. I live in Southern California and wished there was Zachary's in So Cal so I could... (more)
