I've come here everytime I visit Berkeley. The deep dish pizza is the best I have ever had. My wife likes the thin crust which was delicious too.

Yummy Deep Dish Pizza and an energetic busy atmosphere. Be ready to wait both for a table and the deep dish to cook. This is not fast food this is slow cooked goodness. Though I prefer "Old Chicago" in Petaluma for their deep dish pie Zachary's is a good alternative and the best I found in the East Bay. I... More

East Bay Chicago Style Deepdish pizza to die for! Zachary's has it down to a science. Waited 35 minutes on a Saturday night but seated exactly when predicted and my stuffed deepdish pie wss served 5 minutes later. Delicious!

Love the thin crust pizza. Their specialty is thick crust Chicago style which I find is too doughy and too much tomatoes. I come from New York, so thin pizza is my preference. But, all is great there. We always go at least once per month.

Have you ever experienced pizza love before? This is the feeling one gets from ingesting pizza. It hits the same brain receptors that mimic the feeling of falling in love. If not, I suggest you try out Zachary's. A favorite from my college days, I brought husband here to experience the joy that can only come from this Chicago-style pizza.... More

Not a big deep-dish pizza fan, I still find this place better than some in Chicago...Generally, one slice feeds me for the night. It's true that the wait can be depressing, so we'd normally go for a takeout

I love Zachary's - the spinach and mushroom special without muschrooms add canadian bacon is my husband's go to and it is spectacular, I love their artichokes and sausage - I mostly love the awesome sauce and the oozing cheese and the ability to order par baked

Nine generation Chicago born and bred and a confirmed pizza snob. So I know these people turn out a good pie. Crust good, toppings good, typical indigestion was missing, might be we ordered the veggie selections. Spinach and artichokes should always top your pie. Wanted to steal the street signs off the walls (to take home), if the decor was... More

Zach's pizza is like nothing else you've ever tried. It is more like a lasagne-style deep dish than what you're used to. It is out of this world. Service is excellent due to the employee-owned waiters and servers. Prices are reasonable, selection is great and there is one guy named Jared at the San Ramon location who is so helpful... More
