Zachary's is BELOVED! People crave this stuff. As for me - I am definitely missing something, as I've never liked their pizza.
I first tried Zachary's around 10 years ago, and found it to be horribly bland. Back then, I thought maybe the restaurant was having an off night. I found out later: thats the way Zacharys pizza ALWAYS tastes!
I've had Zachary's several times over the year, hoping that with each trip I'd finally discover why people are so insanely crazy about the place. I have yet to figure out why. The crust tastes like cardboard, the tomato sauce is totally spice-free, and the toppings are...well, I don't remember anything interesting about them.
Zachary's is consistently Top Ten in the Bay Area. Why? I have NO IDEA!
Pros: not much
Cons: the pizza - BLECH!
