Zachary's is too hectic and diners seem squeezed too tightly - seated far too close together. The pizza is ""all sauce"" I'm really not sure why this pizza gets so many rave rev...

Editorial review from GrubHub 10/26/2013

Zachary's is always a pleasure, though the delivery arrangement seem a bit clunky -- I think it's a third party? Which makes it take extra time and cost extra money. more

Deep dish pizza is not my 1st choice - ever. I'm a thin crust New York pizza lover, but I have to say - this was GREAT deep dish. Had their famous spinach & mushroom (sans mushroom) and I would absolutely order this again. It was great. The tomatoes were seasoned very well and the crust wasn't greasy. The 1.5hr wait was well worth it! There could have been more seasoned spinach and more cheese, but all in all we loved it. more

What a joy to get Zachary's at home more

Great Pizza 10/31/2011

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. more

ABSOLUTE BEST PIZZA in the Bay area 3/30/2011

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 more

Saved my night! 10/12/2010

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. more

Very good pizza 9/27/2010

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. more

Zachary's Pizza = Good Grub! 12/22/2009

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.

Best pizza in town 10/22/2009

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 Pros: food Cons: no reservations, long lines on weekend nights more

Stuffed Pizza at it's best 2/8/2009

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, which I would like to see. Other wise the pizza is the bomb. Pros: Great Stuffed Pizza more

Best deep dish in the Bay Area! 11/8/2008

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

not impress 9/14/2008

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 Pros: Its clean Cons: too much tomatoes not enough toppings more
