All I can say is this is one of the best tasting pizza I have ever ate. It's like a inside out pizza, with the topping below and the cheese and thick sauce on the top.

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...

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...

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...

I went to Zachary's for a deep dish but naive Californians, my bf and I ordered a thin crust vs. the stuffed crust. We thought the stuff crust was like Pizza's hut, where they load up the crust with cheese...

Same great taste as the Zachary's on College ave, but since this is farther from the campus, it's much less crowded. Still no delivery and cash only, but I prefer this location by far.

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...

Recently, a friend told me he'd never heard of Zachary's, let alone been there. He's no longer on my speed-dial. Ok, kidding. I can only echo the accolades written about this Berkeley paradise. As a...

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...

As lines go, this one is pretty popular, and kid friendly. But it doesn't have the gravitas of the wait at Kirala, or the groove of the line at Vik's. (Best bet: call ahead, walk in, and pick it up,...

I don't know if anyone has noticed this, but for the most part pizza kind of sucks in San Francisco-especially if you're looking for New York style. So I just go to Zachary's for Chicago deep dish...

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...

Having read all the rave reviews I was disappointed in my experience; having ordered a 5 ingredient deep dish only to have to ask the waitress if the order was taken incorrectly -as my wife and I couldn't find...

I'm from New York so ofcourse I'm not going to think any pizza from California is good (and trust me I've gone to plenty of pizza joints in the Bay Area). I tried Zackery's pizzeria in Rockridge about 5 years...

Great Chicago style pizza. For those in the South Bay, try Patxi's in Palo Alto.

For a major city, the Bay Area plays host to far too many horrible pizzerias. Zachary's is truly an exception. It's deep-dish pies hold their own against Gino's East and the rest of Chicago's finest. Now if...

This is way more than pizza. For highest entertainment value, hang out near the kitchen and watch. The ambience is not worth talking about, aside from the mostly wry, intelligent staff that make being there...

First of all the flat pizza is easily the worst in the country - it has no flavor and terrible texture. The dep dish gives deep dish a bad name. I don't understanfd why this place gets so crowded. Bad sauce,...

It's awesome!!! The best pizza ever!!! I don't like pizza very much because it's very greasy and too much cheese. Pizza from Zachary's is different. A thick layer of tomato on top is very fresh and juicy. I...

This is the best pizza since the Windy City Pizza Pub blew in and out of the Bay Area. The Chorizo and pepper pizza is unbelievable and you just cannot get tired of it. Once a week is most definitely not...
