Back just in time for the holiday season, the Butternut Squash Pizza is available for a limited time at all locations! It’s combination of butternut squash, spinach, red onion, goat cheese, and mozzarella cheese, all finished with a sprinkle of fresh parsley, makes for a seriously delicious flavor profile. Pair it with our meatball appetizer or spinach salad for a yummy complete meal! Available both stuffed and thin crust.  

We will be closing early tonight, Monday December 2nd, to celebrate with our crew at our annual Holiday Party! We have a lot to celebrate this year with the opening of our new location on Grand Ave in Oakland. So much hard work, sacrifice and dedication to excellence went into making our Grand Ave location a reality.  From the top to the bottom is was a group effort and we are looking forward to celebrating our achievements with our awesome crew tonight!

All locations will be closing at 8pm for dine in and 8:30pm for take out.  We’ll be back at it and open our normal hours tomorrow!

The holiday season is fully upon us, and with it, the spirit of giving! During the entire month of December, we will be hosting a holiday food drive at all five of our locations.  We are gathering nonperishable food items that are canned, boxed or in sturdy plastic containers.  Wondering what to donate? Think about healthy, nonperishable items you would eat if you were hungry! Here are some ideas our local food banks offered:

• Natural Peanut Butter
• Whole Grain Cereals
• Hearty Low Sodium Soups
• Beans and Lentils (dry or canned)
• Canned Tuna and Chicken in Water
• Canned Fruit in Juice
• Nonperishable Low Sodium Ready to Eat Meals (chili, ravioli, etc.)
• Low Sodium Canned Vegetables
• Brown Rice
• Whole Wheat/Grain Pasta
• Canned Tomato Products

All contributions will be donated to the Alameda County Community Food Bank and the Food Bank of Contra Costa and Solano.  As an employee-owned, Bay Area business, we believe supporting and giving back to our local communities is not only important, but a vital part of who we are.  Please join us by donating on your next visit and helping to ensure everyone in our communities has a wonderful holiday season!

We will be closed Thanksgiving Day to celebrate the holiday with our friends and family.  We will be open our normal hours at all locations on Friday, November 29th.  We hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving!

Did you know Zachary’s hosts Community Fundraisers, sometimes called Dine-Out Nights, for local schools and organizations? Well, we do! We believe giving back to our local communities is a vital part of being an employee-owned, Bay Area business, and the best way to say thank you for your support!

You can host a community fundraiser at any of our locations, including our newest location on Grand Avenue in Oakland! We offer fundraisers Monday through Thursday, non holiday weeks. You will need to fill out our fundraiser application form and receive confirmation from our Community Outreach Coordinators.  Below is some useful information regarding our fundraisers:

• We require a minimum three weeks lead time to schedule fundraisers.  This is for staffing purposes.  It’s also for you! The more time you have to promote your fundraiser, the more successful it will be!
• Fundraisers are held at the location of your choosing, however we do not host fundraisers across multiple locations for the same day/organization.
• You can order for dine-in or take-out.  You will need to show a flyer (we’ll provide) to your server or host so we know you are with the fundraiser.  It can be a printed copy, or via your mobile device.
• Third party delivery orders are not eligible for fundraisers.
• Fundraisers run from the time we open to the time we close. Hours vary by location.
• Reservations available at select locations based on availability. Please call our San Ramon or Pleasant Hill location to inquire. Our Oakland and Berkeley locations do not offer reservations.
• Donation amount is based off of the pre-tax subtotal of sales generated by your school or organization.
• We are an employee-owned company and represent a diverse group of owners (and customers!). Therefore, we do not align ourselves with political organizations or positions. Thank you for your understanding and support.

We look forward to hosting you!

We will be closing one hour early only at Grand Ave. We encourage you to call ahead to place your take-out orders in advance.

All our other locations will be open normal hours.  You can also call in advance to place your orders for later pickup times.

With the ongoing PG&E power outages happening, our Pleasant Hill location is now also without power.  Please bear with us as we adjust to this latest development.  We hope everyone is safe and thank you for your understanding.  As of now, our San Ramon location is still up and running at full capacity, as are our North Berkeley, Solano Ave location, and our Grand Avenue location in Oakland.  You can call ahead to place take out orders in advance.  Due to our College Avenue and Pleasant Hill locations being closed, our other locations may be experiencing higher call volumes than normal.  We apologize for any inconvenience.  Please check back for more updates as we receive them.

It’s official! Our newest location on Grand Ave in Oakland is open and ready to serve you the award winning, stuffed pizza you’ve come to know and love! We had a soft opening this past Monday, October 21^st, 2019 at 5pm.  We are so excited and happy to be joining the wonderful and historic Grand Lake neighborhood and can’t wait to meet new friends and see old ones!

At Zachary’s on Grand we offer a full bar with a custom-made cocktail menu.  We encourage you to take advantage of this lovely area, with floor to ceiling windows, as you wait for your to-go orders in person or for your dine-in table. Please note in these first few months of business, we anticipate dine-in wait times and pizza cooking times to be slightly longer than normal.  In addition, it may be difficult to get through on our phones to place to-go orders.  We thank you for your patience in advance as we adjust to our latest location.

We’ll be open for dinner nightly at 4pm until 10pm Sunday through Thursday, and 4pm to 10:30pm Friday and Saturday.  Lunch service will begin in a few weeks! Thank you Bay Area for all of your support and positive energy in making our latest dream a reality!
