SPECIAL DELIVERY! IT’S ZACHARY’S BY PLANE!

Two people standing in front of a small white and green airplane on a sunny day. One holds a package labeled Yea! They are on an airport tarmac with a clear blue sky in the background.We recently received a fun email from former Bay Area resident, Richard Weerts:

“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!

The background features wooden paneling and a jar.We are introducing a brand new pizza special in Pleasant Hill and San Ramon! It’s the Teriyaki Chicken pizza! This pizza was the brainchild of crew member, Chris Mariano.  He developed this delightfully sweet and salty special for a crew pizza contest and he won in the “Most Creative Pizza” category!

A freshly baked pizza on a metal tray topped with melted cheese, diced green onions, pineapple chunks, and pieces of chicken, set on a wooden table. When asked about his inspiration for this pizza, Mariano replied, “I had a little extra teriyaki sauce and I wanted to put it on a pizza. I had just returned from Hawaii, so it was fresh in my head… that island flavor. I thought about what goes well with teriyaki and pineapple and green onion made sense.”

The Teriyaki Chicken pizza is made with our free-range chicken breast marinated in a sweet teriyaki sauce, pineapple, green onions and Monterey Jack cheese. It’s available stuffed or thin crust.
