You have just found the BEST PIZZA EVER!! You will love everything about this place. The wait is alittle long sometimes but you'll learn to love that too.

5 Stars: Pizza worth a long drive (by Michelle G.)

We have friends in Sacramento who've actually been known to plan wekeends in the Bay Area simply so they can get pizza at Zachary's. It's almost more like a lasagne than a pizza -- deep layers of toppings, cheese, and some extra dough and tomatoes on top. Parking is very difficult, and it's often hard to find a table -- but you can buy pizzas to go, or even get a "half-baked" pizza to finish cooking at home.

4 Stars: Too bad there's not one here... (by David C.)

There's something special with the pizza. Even though it is very thick, it is not "heavy". I also love the fact that they put a lot of tomoatoes on their pizza.

We go here whenever we get the chance when we're up in Berkeley. They have deep dish pizza which is different from the others around here. The sauce is on top and they put a lot of sauce on. I like the Zachary's Special and the Spinach and Mushroom. I've only gone in for whole pizzas, but I think you can order by the slice as well.

Super-fresh ingredients top the delicious, gooey pizza that they do at Zachary's. We usually have the Good Health pizza, which is chicken, spinach and mozarella on a whole wheat crust. It's amazing, especially the crust. The vibe is decidedly laid back and though there's often a wait (and the pizza takes a long time) it's worth it. The salads are also excellent and they have a reasonable beer and wine selection.

PROS: laid back, delicious
CONS: a tad expensive

5 Stars: The best Pizza around (by Vanessa K.)

When we get Zachary's, there are never any leftovers. The quality of the pizza is worth the sometimes long line. The stuffed pizza is phenomenal, and the atmosphere of the restaurant is perfect for a pizza joint, should you choose to stay. If you take out, the pizza is still amazinly good, and always really hot so by the time you get home it is perfectly tempered to eat.

5 Stars: This place never disappoints me. (by Caroline O.)

I used to travel from SF State to Berkeley once a week to get their stuffed spinach and mushroom pizza with garlic. And that was when I was a student. It never disappointed then, over 10 years ago, (I can't believe I wrote that), and it does not disappoint now. Sometimes we get the healthy chicken, stuffed pizza of course, and that's good. The pizza is similar to lasagne. Never order a small because you'll want more. Trust me. They have good salads too. I've tried their thin crust and it was similar to lots of other pizzas that I've tried. But their stuffed crust is their masterpiece.

I absolutely loved their stuffed pizzas. They don't deliver and dining there can mean a long table wait. But it's well worth it. Call ahead and get one to go - they'll make it all the way or half baked so you can take it home, finish cooking it and have it perfectly fresh.

5 Stars: Everything you hear about this place is true (by Marcus H.)

Yes, this really is great pizza. Rather than wait in line forever, though, just buy one of their pizzas uncooked and finish the job at home. Before I came to this place, I was afraid that I had left decent pizza behind when I went to California. I'm a dedicated carnivore, and I still loved the "Vegetarian" pizza with cheese and spinach.

Lines are long, but that can be easily solved by eating the pizza at home.

5 Stars: Excellent Pizzas for Everyone (by Corey L.)

The most famous pizza that ever emerged from Zachary's Pizza is their special Vegetarian pizza. Now although meat lovers are saying "Ew, vegetarian." they shouldn't. This pizza will make meat lovers forget that it doesn't have meat. The pizza is a Chicago style pizza with three cheeses and spinach inside and covered with chopped tomatoes. The pizza is excellent and has given the parlor an excellent name.

5 Stars: Yum, Yum, Yum (by Lucinda T.)

Yum. Zacharys is fantastic. The restuarant is small, so I recomend calling in and getting one of their pizzas that are half baked and taking it home to finish it off and watch a great dvd with the pizza piping hot from your oven. Their lunch slices are a great deal as well. They consisently win awards year after year for their pizza, this is no secret pizza place, the words been out for years.

5 Stars: Best Chicago Pizza in California (by Andy F.)

Zachary's serves the best Chicago style pizza in California. They serve the stuffed crust variety with two layers of crust. They use the highest quality ingredients and an excellent dough to turn out spectacular pies. I love the plain pie and the Zachary's special but truly all of the combinations are wonderful. Zachary's is the best.

4 Stars: Pizza with a Flair (by Alex B.)

Alex B. — Sun, 17 Apr 2005 13:24:00 GMT

This is a bustling vibrant pizza place and it has won alot of awards from local papers for 'Best Pizza' -The awards are hung proudly on the wall. There is alway a line out the door for seating and the seating is actually limited maybe 50 people at most. Despite the crowds service is usually pretty quick you place your order while you wait in line. Good pizza and beer.

PROS: good chicago style pizza
CONS: limited to on street parking in a busy shopping area
