Zachary’s awarded “Best Pizza” by Contra Costa Times 2000, 2013, 2014.

“There’s pizza. And then there’s Zachary’s. The employee-owned restaurant has been making stuffed-pizza addicts out of Bay Area foodies since 1983, and its fourth location is guilty as charged.” June 18, 2013, Review of Zachary’s Pleasant Hill

“If it’s pizza, it has to be Zachary’s Pizza, the most favorite among pie aficionados.” May 26, 2013, Best in the East Bay Readers’ Choice Awards

“Zach Zachowski and Barbara Gabel, the husband-and-wife team that opened the first restaurant in Oakland back in 1983, have decided that they are ready to get out of the pizza business. Starting this year, they will adopt an Employee Stock Ownership Plan, or ESOP, that will sell the business to its employees. The pizzeria employees’ paychecks will still be the same; the shares being set aside for them are on top of their normal salary.” May 15, 2003, “Employees to Slice Up the Business”

“Mama Mia, that’s a pizza…. Zachary’s gives its fresh-made pies the right stuff.” July 13, 1988, Review
