What People Are Saying About Zachary's Chicago Pizza
Featured Review

The Scene – In this cozy pizza haven, the incessant din of diners mingles with the clamor of a frantic kitchen. Plaques, posters and other Zachary's paraphernalia emphatically plaster the walls in declaration of the unrivaled splendor of its pizza. Piping-hot pies are served in the cramped dining area on wooden stools beside each table. – – The Food – Ooey-gooey, crispy and chewy, the stuffed pizzas preserve the luscious flavor of ingredients by sealing them between two layers of dough. The signature Pride and Joy pie, like the other deep-stuffed pizzas, harbors the…

- Pizza lovers can also order slices to go and half-baked (literally, not metaphorically) pizzas to finish at home.
Great Pizza
by Richard Lawson at Citysearch
As every other reviewer seems to have said, Zachary's is a great restaurant for pizza. We prefer their stuffed pizza. It's always a crowd-pleaser with us. Also, their half-baked pizzas are a really good idea if you are entertaining company.
ABSOLUTE BEST PIZZA in the Bay area
by ripken00 at Citysearch
This pizza can not be beat at any time by any other bay area pizzeria. Their concept is truly remarkable as you decide what you want put in your order and then the wait at the table is not very long at all. How can you go wrong with the toppings that are normally on top stuffed inside and the sauce on the top. Our only regret is that we have to drive from the OC to SF to get the pizza. Heck if a round trip airflight can be had for a cheap price it would be worth flying to get this pizza. Recently there was a $9 sale for air travel from LA to SF and I had a friend that flew to SF went to dinner in SF and then came home to OC How much fun would that be No problem knowing where I would have been dining that evening GOOD at everything they do and the crowd is fun and you need to be patient because the wait is sometimes long but well worth every minute of it
Saved my night!

My kids dropped by for a surprise visit. I didn't have anything ready, so I ordered a large pizza from here. The service was very quick and the pizza was great! All my kids enjoyed it and I even had some leftovers for the next day.
Very good pizza

My friend got a pizza from here. I'm not usually into pizzas as much as she is, but I have to admit this was pretty good. I will probably go there if I'm ever in the mood for pizza again.
Zachary's Pizza = Good Grub!
by The Good Grub at Citysearch
Chicago can officially take a hike. You've been outdone. There's no shame in that. You're pizza is good, but Zachary's is amazing. How do they do it? Is it because they're 100% employee owned? Is it because they sprinkle magic deliciousness into the sauce? I don't know, and more importantly, I don't care. Just keep the Spinach and Mushroom stuffed pizza coming my way. Don't like Spinach and mushroom? At age six I wouldn't eat a mushroom dipped in nacho cheese, but I would down this stuff like nobody's business. This is one of those places were you probably never change your order, because it's just too good to experiment with. If the pizza itself wasn't enough to convince yourself, just take a look around the walls at the non-stop reviewers singing its praise. But more importantly, are the super-fan posters that cover the walls. I guess when you're this good, you don't need to invest in art. Don't be afraid of the crowded mess inside, because Zachary's will let you order your food as soon as you put in your name. And that's important, because for safety sake, when you smell that pizza floating around, piled up on bar stools next to people's tables, a riot could break out at any moment. This is the kind of place you order a large, knowing you can only stomach half, but the cold leftovers are an art unto itself. With the delicious flaky crust, toppings dancing with the cheese stuffed (most importantly) inside, and topped off with rich piles of chunky tomatoes, you'll never forgive yourself that you didn't go sooner. So grab a slice, dive in with a fork and knife, or pick it straight up if you're brave, and your belly will reach Good Grub euphoria before you know it. See more at www.thegoodgrub.weebly. com
