We have a new special in Pleasant Hill and San Ramon! It’s the Buffalo Chicken Pizza! This spicy special is made with our free-range chicken breast marinated in a cayenne pepper “wing sauce” with pepperoni, mozzarella cheese and topped with our house-made blue cheese dressing. This pizza is available stuffed or thin crust for a limited time! Our CEO (Kevin) grew up in Buffalo, NY and drew inspiration for this pizza from the sauce of his homeland. Kevin writes, “Growing up in Buffalo, pizza night always meant pepperoni pizza and a bucket of chicken wings with blue cheese dressing. The flavor of Buffalo wings and pepperoni pizza work really well together, so I figured why not try combining those flavors on our pizza?” We think you will enjoy this combination just as much as Kevin did as a kid in Buffalo.

We found the perfect way to welcome Fall to the Bay… our Gourmet Mushroom pizza! This fungus-friendly pizza is made with Shiitake, Portabella and Oyster mushrooms with a hint of garlic and Monterey Jack cheese. You can order it as a our award-winning stuffed pizza or our perfectly-crunchy thin crust. It’s available for a limited time in Oakland and Berkeley only.

We are bringing back one of our most popular specials: Hawaiian Pizza! This sweet and spicy pizza is packed with Canadian bacon, pineapple, green onion and pepper jack cheese.

Every summer, Zachary’s likes to do something to celebrate our fantastic, fun-loving, hard-working, and oh-so-wonderful crew! This summer, we had a blast celebrating summer in Castle Rock Park!

On two separate days (we have to keep the restaurants open, so we have to have two parties… poor us, huh?!), we played basketball, cornhole, ladder golf, tossed around a football and ate way too much BBQ. We also got to enjoy the pool, which was perfect since it was HOT in Walnut Creek! For many, the highlight of the day was a relay race that culminated in Zachary’s Trivia! Major congrats to the winning teams!

Our crew is the best and getting everyone together always results in a lot of laughs, a lot of fun, and a truly joyful celebration of the best part of Zachary’s.
