Tasty Pizza

by ahmd_khn

These days pizzas are in just about every corner. But you must taste Spinach & Mushroom Zachary's "Pride and Joy" at Zachary?s, it is so tasty; you just want to wish that it never finishes. It is a ?must visit? place.

best chicago pizza!

by juju13es

I went to visit my friend in Berkeley and asked her to take me to the best pizza place in town, and she brought me to Zachary's. And must I say, I was not disappointed! I'm more of a New York Pizza fan, but this place had amazing deep-dish pizza with a lot of tomato sauce! The Chicken Pizza and Spinach & Mushroom (both under Zachary's "favorites") were absolutely delicious! Although it was pretty packed (It was a Friday night), they had a very efficient waiting system where we would order the food while we were waiting so the pizza can come out right when we sat down!

• Pros: delicious deep-dish/stuffed pizza, fast-as-possible service

The best pizza you will ever eat

by hyperstar

They serve regular thin-crust, but you'd be a fool not to get the deep-dish. Best tomato sauce anywhere, delicious cheese, tons of toppings to chose from, but even plain old cheese is hardly "plain." There can be a long wait on weekend nights, but the place is fun and the servers are good, and its worth the wait every time once you tuck in. Calling ahead is probably a good idea on weekends. This place has been Zagat rated since the early nineties. You can even buy half-baked pizzas to take home. Probably not good for parties over 4; the place isn't super-small, but it's not big either. Personally, this is the best pizza I've ever had, well-worth a drive from Marin.

Hot, Gooey Deep Dish Pizza

by 15bigones

This place is hopping. Very, very busy. Call ahead if you want take-out. The crust is good, the tomato sauce is excellent, and everything is good. The deep dish pizza is very gooey and rich. Pesto is especially recommended. A high -quality pizza product, much better than a chain.

• Pros: Excellent, fresh-tasting pizza.
• Cons: Long wait at times

Great Chicago style pizza! MMMM...

by aznlawyer

Okay. So Zachary's has got some amazing pizzas. Although they are still the best around, they haven't been as consistent as they use to be. Don't get me wrong though. When I want deep dish pizza, I always come here. I think they are way too busy and they have been rushing lately. Otherwise, I love this place.

It is extremely crowded almost everynight so you'll have to wait for a seat!

• Pros: PIZZA
• Cons: crowded, long wait to get your pizza (but worth it)

Not really Chicago style, but still good...

by rsak

Yes, the secret is true. Zachary's isn't really Chicago style. But who doesn't like the deep dish here though anyway? A slice is a meal in itself. The crust could use a little more flavor, but it's not horrible. Don't get the thin crust, there's no point really. Wish they delivered, or at least could speed things up a little...

A new review on an old favorite

by hezmodo

I've been getting Zachary's pizza's to go for years. The deep dish isn't something you can really call pizza -- it's a thick, hefty two and a half inch thick pie. One slice will slow you down for the evening. Yes, sometimes the fillings can be a bit hard to detect, because there's just so much dough and cheese and tomatoes and... well, even so, it's very, very good. But it's not a California pizza, and it's not exactly a Chicago deep dish. We order two with regularity: the whole wheat crust with chicken, pesto, and basil and the regular crust with ham, spinach and mushroom. I can't exactly describe why they're so good, but they are. A bit on the spendy side, though one large deep dish will easily feed three hungry people. The thin crust, available by the slice as well, are absolutely excellent. the slices are New York sized -- large enough to fill my 20 year old for lunch. Zachary's has become quite a local tradition, and it's not the best pizza I've had, but it's a mighty fine food, and definitely, definitely worth trying out. if you don't become a fan, it's no loss, but if you do... you'll be so happy they're serving those 5 pound pies.

• Pros: Hefty pizza's unlike any other available in the area
• Cons: hard to park sometimes, very loud ambience, can be considered expensive.

Take away a deep dish pizza for home dining

by janisan

We get a Zachary's deep dish cheese pizza every Tuesday night and are never disappointed. The pizza is always great and so is the service. All of the employees are friendly and very service oriented. Thanks!

• Pros: pizza, service, friendlliness
• Cons: parking

Had heard so many good things...

by starcastle24

Went last night to Zachary's for the first time after hearing that it was the best in the bay area. Was very excited to walk in and be seated right away (a Monday night). Ordered a 4 topping deep crust pizza from the blunt waitress...

While waiting I could not talk to my partner over the loudness in the place. When I moved my chair closer I was rudely asked to move back as i was blocking the way(but all the extra "pizza stools" were allowed to be there!)

Then the pizza. While it was good, I too had a difficult time finding the ingredients that we ordered. The gobs of sauce on top overpowered the entire thing. The crust was good, and overall flavor decent, but nothing special.

• Pros: Lcation, God crust
• Cons: blunt/rude waitstaff, Loud, stingy ingredients

Thin/Stuffed

by hachi

I went to Zachary's for a deep dish but naive Californians, my bf and I ordered a thin crust vs. the stuffed crust. We thought the stuff crust was like Pizza's hut, where they load up the crust with cheese inside. We were disappointed we didn't get to try the deep dish but the thin crust was the BEST we've ever had. Toppings were tasty and the crust was crispy and delicious. We're going back for the deep crust next time but didn't regret trying out the thin crust.

• Pros: Great pizza, Great service
• Cons: Not off of freeway, Parking
