Everything was on point during my visit- Food was fresh, delicious, and brought out promptly. Their hard apple cider was also a great compliment to the meal! Our server, Liam was also extremely attentive and didn't hesitate to swap out an item that didn't meet expectations. My only suggestion would be to add some dessert items to the menu.

Best pizza ever. Addicted since the 90's. Always crowded, for good reason.

I love the atmosphere, however, take notice of no matter how delightful the area may be the exclusivity (segregation) i.e homogeneously white it is. This is a disheartening fact throughout America and needs to be ameliorated instead always being tolerated as if it does not exist.

Had lunch with a friend visiting from Texas who is a bay area transplant. Zachary's was her favorite pizza place when she lived here. We split a small pie: my half vegetarian and hers with chicken. We both had side salads and she ordered lemonade.

This is the most consistent deep dish style pizza restaurant in the bay area. I have never been disappointed by their food. Good quality ingredients, good proportions of toppings and overall amount of toppings lend to an ideal deep dish pizza. They have good dough which they have mastered the correct technique to consistently bake with the correct parameters to make it crisp and delicious but not too hard or too soggy. This is especially difficult with an ample deep dish pizza. This is a magic formula of dough recipe with enough fat in it, proper air flow under the pie while in the oven. And just the right temperature and cooking time. This particular restaurant has this careful balancing act dialed in and does so consistently. The important thing to know is that the pie takes time to bake - so you have to summon your patience after ordering. Factor the cooking time into your meal plan. It is truly best to think of it as a dining experience that is an excellent example of the "slow food movement". Understand that the salad / antipasto course is an excellent part of the plan, even if it is not large. Enjoy a beverage and the company of your friends / family that you are dining with and the time will fly by. Excellence of this food type (the deep dish pizza) cannot be rushed. Also adjust your thinking to understand how ample and filling each slice is - it is easily 2-3 times more filling per slice than a normal piece of hand tossed pizza. So when ordering factor that into the equation. Think of it like a casserole almost - so a normal serving for an adult is 1 - 2 slices. This also adjusts the perception of the cost of the pie size VS the cost of the same diameter pie if of the hand tossed variety. So many people will be a bit shocked at the price of a good deep dish with ample ingredients (like what Zachary's consistently serves) VS an average hand tossed pizza from another high quality restaurant... So factor that into your "pizza math" when looking at the menu and the pricing for each size - as well as adjusting the size needed to feed the pizza friends who are sharing your pie. That is my general advice for newbies to the world of quality Chicago style deep dish. Also - pro tip - if you take left overs home, they reheat beautifully in the oven / toaster oven on a baking sheet or slowly in a skillet covered with a lid. I will never microwave a deep dish slice of pie. That is a recipe for soggy crust, over heated cheese and a cold center inside the slice due to the nature of most microwave settings and user styles. If you must use a microwave, partial power is your friend for a long period of time to heat it all of the way through to the center. Or cut it into bite size pieces before reheating in the microwave and pull the pieces apart to assist with the thermal dynamics. Zachary's pizza is also excellent cold due to the flavor profile of the spicing balance of the sauce (which is well seasoned without being too much or too zesty) and the balance of the ingredient ratios and quality cheese they use. In some ways, next day deep dish can be even better than fresh deep dish because the flavors have a chance to mingle a bit more. As a huge cheese fan, deep dish is always extremely satisfying because it is the magical glue that holds the pie ingredients together. A proper deep dish lets the cheese really shine - and the quality and blend of the cheeses used is vital for this black magic to occur constantly. Precooking / sautéeing certain ingredients in advance of the pie assembly and before baking is also necessary for the ideal balance / outcome - also a crucial step that Zachary's understands and embraces... For these reasons I have been a fan for several decades. Having grown up in the vacinity of Chicago, my quest for ideal Chicago style deep dish pizza has been ongoing since leaving the Midwest almost 30 years ago. So I have tried it in almost every city and whenever possible when traveling as well. Zachary's has definitely been the closest to the ideal and certainly the most sat

Interesting looking pizza joint. Had the large slice lunch deal for $6. I got the veggie and wife had sausage. They were definitely large slices with thick crust and lots of sauce and toppings. Flavor was alright but decent value for the size.
