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. This pizza is available stuffed or thin crust in Oakland and Berkeley only. Check it out soon! It will only be around for a couple of weeks! In San Ramon and Pleasant Hill, we are still rockin’ our Super Veggie special. This pizza is a veggie-lover’s dream: zucchini, yellow squash, red bell peppers, broccoli, white corn with yellow cheddar and Monterey Jack cheese. It’s also available stuffed or thin crust.

We are introducing a Caprese salad to our menu at all four locations for a limited time!

This tasty dish features heirloom tomatoes and fresh mozzarella dressed with olive oil, aged balsamic vinegar, and fresh basil. Perfect food to beat the end-of-summer heat! $11.95 + tax

 

Our Buffalo Chicken pizza is back in Oakland and Berkeley! This spicy special has free range chicken breast marinated in a cayenne pepper “wing sauce”, pepperoni, mozzarella cheese and a swirl of our house-made blue cheese dressing. It’s available stuffed or thin crust for a limited time only!

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.

 

The Zachary’s Bocce team has been living it up in the Pleasant Hill Parks and Recreation Bocce League! Check out some team members/employee owners in action!

Families!! We were voted Silver by Bay Area Parent readers in the “Best Family Restaurants in the Bay Area: East Bay” category! Check out the list of winners here. Woo-hoo!

In other equally exciting news, Hoodline published, “A Slice Above: How San Francisco Ranks Among America’s 50 Best Pizza Spots“. Guess who is number 6?!!! Spoiler alert: San Francisco ranks just as highly as NYC!

We are super excited about both of these pieces of recognition. We love being a fun and comfortable place for families and we are very proud of our Oakland roots. There are lot of fantastic pizza options in the Bay Area. We are flattered and thankful that our customers love us as much as we love them.

We are starting brand new specials at all four locations! Veggie-lovers, these specials are for you!

In San Ramon and Pleasant Hill, we are bringing back our super-popular Super Veggie pizza! This pizza is loaded with zucchini, yellow squash, red bell peppers, broccoli, white corn and a blend of yellow cheddar and Monterey Jack cheese. It’s available stuffed or thin crust.

We are over-the-moon excited to announce not one, but two very exciting awards!

We were voted Best Pizza in the East Bay Express Reader’s Poll! Pizza competition is STIFF in the East Bay and we are just delighted! Huge thanks to East Bay Express and our phenomenal, top-notch, pizza-savvy customers. Check out the link to see all of the other food and drink winners. We are in excellent company!

 

In other, also fantastically exciting news, we were voted Best Pizza in California (what??!! woo-hoo!) by Tripping. As part of Tripping’s “America the Beautiful Series” they decided to choose the best pizza from each U.S. state! We’ve got some cross-country road trip plans in our future!

It’s tomato season! To celebrate, we have a new pizza special in Oakland and Berkeley! It’s our Pizza Roma! This pizza is available stuffed or thin crust. It’s got sliced Roma tomatoes, Kalamata olives, red onions and mozzarella cheese. This pizza is a tomato-lover’s paradise!

We are extremely excited to announce that we won Best Pizza from Diablo Magazine! Check out this list of other food winners. We are humbled to be in such fabulous company. Congrats to all of the winners!

This award is especially meaningful for us because it comes from a fellow ESOP! ESOP stands for Employee Stock Ownership Plan. At the end of 2014, Diablo Publication’s founder, Steven J. Rivera announced that the company was going to be sold to its employees via an ESOP. Zachary’s started its ESOP in 2003 and became 100% employee owned in 2010.
