The best deep dish pizza in the Bay Area. Everything is delicious, but the classic with spinach , mushrooms , and house spices is a great way to start if it's your first visit.

Paula Wirth / Eat Drink Oakland

Zachary’s serves deep dish Chicago-style pizza with vegan crust and Daiya vegan cheese , and vegetarian pies, and will offer vegetarian seasonal specials during Oakland Veg Week, April 15-21, 2012.

Kelly Bone

The VEGAN deep dish crust is better than the regular! Try it even if you're ordering dairy cheese or meats!

Marta Tappero

Always always consisten on tasty and unique! The tomato sauce is so rich and juicy! Service is super kind. There is always a wait but they make it very efficient. Meatballs are just ok, but caesar!

Troy Harlan

Get the deep dish pizza . It's why this place exists - to give those who've lived in Chicago the closest thing to what we had there. If you opt instead for the thin crust , you're doing it wrong.

Tiago Ferreira

That was the first time I ate a deep dish pizza and I loved it. They also call it Chicago style pizza . If you don't know it, you should definitely try it.

Inderpreet Singh

They can make most of their pizzas vegan . Excellent crust and perfectly done. They have vegan cheese as an extra.

Bommy

Grab a beer and dig into half stuffed spinach & mushroom and half zachary 's special. Small is perfect for 2 hungry people.

Matt Mayo

Delicious vegetarian deep dish , including their main event with spinach and mushroom covered in a chunky tomato sauce .

Nicholas Young

One of top highlights of the East Bay , if not the entire Bay Area. Excellent deep dish , but the thin crust comes up a bit short . Order ahead and take home.

Meg Herbert

Awesomeness. Busy as hell. Order to go and have a beer while you wait. Nice staff . Not a fan of Chicago style like me? "thin" is the way to go! Ready in 20 min.

Victoria

Deep dish pizza . Tomato , cheese and that crust. Yum. Chorizo pizza is to die for 😛👌 I was stuffed after two slices. Worth the wait!

Camden Tayler

Fucking great pizza . Busy, though, so expect a wait. But you can order your pizza while you wait! And deep dish takes a while to bake anyway, so you don't end up losing that much time.

Michael Sippey

I know you *think* you like deep dish pizza , but you really like thin crust better. Which means try the place across the street, Jules Pizza .

Andreea Stefanescu

Once you go to Zachary 's for the deep dish you will never be able to look at "normal" pizza like you used to.. try the chicken bbq , it's amazing!

Cameron W

Awesome deep dish pizza . From NYC, not used to the knife and fork pizza experience but I get it now. Top notch pizza pie .

Jenny Cheng

You can put in your pizza order while you wait for a table. So put in your order and grab a beer ! By the time you get a seat your pizza will be done too. Genius!

Michael S

Spectacular Pizza , employee owned and operated, what's not to love? (My favorite pizza place in the world for the last ten years)

Pertz

Expect to wait, especially on nights/weekends. Spinach & Mushroom (or any deep-dish, skip the thin crust ) is the way to go!

Marco Lazzeri

Friendly and warm place. Thin crust pizza disappointing. Definitely go for the deep dish / Chicago style one.

Yvonne Barter

For large parties you can call ahead to see how long the approximate wait is and they will start setting up for you.

Laughing Squid

Be sure to get a salad if ordering a stuffed pizza , the pizza takes a looooong time (but so worth it). Look for the awesome Thriller-themed art poster.

Sarah

The deep dish pizzas are to die for. Make sure to get the deep dish on your first visit.

Carl Rogers

Haven't been here in years! Though nothing compares to a deep dish back home, Zachary 's definitely makes the best Chicago pie in the SF Bay Area. Order sausage as a topping and find that it's sliced

Victor Stuber

Stuffed pizza is pretty authentic and so good. I'm pretty sure they spray their pizza smell within a 2 block radius to lure you in.

Ally M

Reminds me of Chicago! Authentic deep dish pizza - delicious! Be prepared to wait in line though

V

If it is your first time, get the Zachary 's deep dish . Amazing! Best deep dished here in the SF Bay !!

Paul Sullivan

Deep dish is amazing!! My NYC wife says "that's not pizza " -- whatever. It's great!!!

Sarah

V authentic deep dish with a west coast flair. The carnitas pizza is sooo good.

Jodi Haddon

Zachary 's Pride and Joy, the deep dish spinach and mushroom is the best pizza , ever.

Dave Milz

Portions are huge, so order with caution. But service was great, and the food was delicious!

nancy t.

Get there early, order during your wait, and the food will be ready by the time you sit.

Rishi Athanikar

Go for the half-half. Great way to try 2 options

Rose Sawyer

Always great pizza , whatever u order u can't go wrong! Just come in and enjoy

LAD Buzz

Always order more than you need so you can take some home and enjoy it again! The Deep Dish Pizzas are like having a yummy lasagna with pizza crust !!! Fantastic!

Sam Carrington

Amazing. Chunky sauce with fresh tomatoes , crispy crust, yummy gooey cheese . Happy happy mouth!!

Alex

The deep dish here is awesome, the Zachary’s special is my fave.

Anngelica

The STUFFED pizza IS as good as it gets. It's like lasagna - hearty, filling, and delish. Parking is terrible, so take BART if you can (the station is one block away). Read more

WhiskyAvenger

The best deep dish in Oakland.

David Newton

Mike Grafham

Fantastic pizza , worth the trip out into Rockridge

Cato Hagen

Go for the CARNE. Best pizza I've had in a while. Really worth the trip. :)

JT

I think about their deep dish pizza all the time. Tomato sauce is soo fresh

Jason Black

Best pizza in the Bay Area. A local institution

Josephine H.

Carne deep dish with a side of lemonade ! You can also order half and half for toppings!

Robert Rowe

...eat pizza here till it hurts! For one's good conscience get the Good Health Pizza with baked chicken breast and fresh spinach with part skim mozzarella on a whole wheat crust . Read more

Brian

So yummy. Only need to order a small if you're only two people.

ScottySauce

Don't bother getting the regular pizza when you can get STUFFED! Zachary 's is a place you go to for a stuffed pizza and it's a sin to get anything else!

Nick Fruendt

Delicious pizza , I want to go back here again soon

John Catoline

Best deep dish in town . Still rocks after all these years.
