Forty-three people wore bright red Zachary’s shirts and ran their hearts out. Team Zachary’s organizer, Chloe Eng, said “For me, this 5K was about combining three things that provide me great joy: beautiful Oakland, my love of running and my awesome Zachary’s coworkers. It was a proud moment to see everyone out there together, sharing so much support and so many smiles.” “For some it was their first, for others their 100th, but we were all out there together as a team promoting camaraderie and just being healthy. It was a blast!” – Aria Vadney, Oakland runner and Zachary’s Manager Visit the Oakland Running Festival’s website for more information about the race!

“Hello Zachary’s team:

Thought you might like this little story and pics.

A year ago my wife and I moved to the mountains from the East Bay. We miss Zachary’s Pizza from our usual Rockridge Oakland Zachary’s location.A man in sunglasses and green t-shirt stands outside a wooden building, holding a package. A sign next to him displays “Nervino Airport” details, including operating hours and parking rates. An additional yellow warning sign is above.

So it’s my birthday and my son Ben surprises me with a special delivery – Zachary’s half-bake stuffed spinach and mushroom delivered by airplane to our little local airstrip.”

We love this story! We are so lucky to have such loyal and adventurous folks in the Zachary’s fan-base. And we think Richard is pretty lucky to have a son like Ben! Thanks for sharing Richard!
