Closed August 15th for a Team Appreciation Event!

All locations will be closed on Monday, August 15th for a team appreciation event! The Zachary’s family is headed to Great America to celebrate our crew with some good old-fashioned fun-in-the-sun. Our crew is pretty much the best around (at least in our opinion!) and the last few years have put a serious kink in our crew celebrations, so we’re super excited to be able to spend the day celebrating them!

If you had your heart set on pizza August 15th, please be sure to pick up half-baked pizzas Friday, Saturday, or Sunday to finish baking at home on Monday.

We’ll reopen 11am Tuesday, August 16th. Thanks for your support and see you then!

Celebrate Zachary’s in Pleasanton’s 1st Anniversary with Us!

Zachary’s in Pleasanton turns one on July 29th! ????

Cue the fireworks, pop the champagne! It’s time to celebrate!

Come celebrate with us all day on July 29th at Zachary’s in Pleasanton to take advantage of our drink specials and to enter the raffle! Don’t forget to let us know you’re celebrating with us by snapping a pic and tagging us social media ????

What a year it’s been. We can’t express how much we’ve loved being a part of the Pleasanton community! We want to take a moment to express our gratitude and thank everyone for our warm welcome. Opening a restaurant is never easy, opening one during a pandemic is especially challenging. When we say we are thankful to you; our amazing community, customers, and friends, we mean it from the very bottom of our hearts. We can’t wait to celebrate many more years to come with you!

June’s Employee-Anniversaries: Thinley & Christina!

June’s Employee-Owner Anniversaries!

 

Thinley Celebrates 30 Years!

On June 23rd, we celebrated the one and only Thinley’s 30th anniversary at Zachary’s! Originally hired for our kitchen crew in 1992, Thinley is now the Kitchen General Manager of Zachary’s in Rockridge and North Berkeley! Thinley is a cornerstone of our kitchen and has helped build and develop it almost from the ground up. His work ethic is legendary, as is his ever calm, cool and collected demeanor (seriously, the man is unshakeable).

 

Christina Celebrates 15 Years!

June 26th marked Christina’s 15th employee-anniversary with us! Christina joined our dining room crew for Oakland-Rockridge and North Berkeley in 2007. Her can-do attitude and precise attention to detail made her a standout who quickly moved up the ranks. Christina has worn many hats for us (seriously, she can and has done it all!) over her 15 years and now leads our HR department as our Human Resources Director!

 

 

To say we are grateful and thankful for the efforts and contributions of these two amazing individuals is to put it lightly. They have both helped grow and develop Zachary’s into the employee-owned company we are today and we couldn’t imagine Zachary’s without them. Big, huge, colossal congratulations and thanks to the both of them! ❤️????????

 

We’ll be Closed on July 4th

 

We’ll be closed on the 4th of July

It’s not a rumor, it’s true. We’ll be closed this Monday, July 4th to spend the holiday with our friends and family. We hope everyone has a safe and happy holiday and we’ll see you Tuesday!

 

It’s Sangria Season in Pleasant Hill!

The sun is shining, the weather is getting nicer, and our Pleasant Hill patio is looking mighty inviting. What better place to kick back and enjoy a refreshing glass of sangria while you people watch and wait for your pizza to cook?

Our summer sangria is made with Garnacha wine, oranges, lemons, limes, apples, orange juice and topped with a splash of Sprite (to give it a little bubble action!). Enjoy a glass now through Labor Day Weekend for just $7. Available exclusively at Zachary’s Pleasant Hill. Happy sipping!

 

May’s Employee-Owner Anniversaries!

May ended on a high note with not one but TWO employee-owner anniversary celebrations!

Adriana celebrated her 15th Anniversary on May 25th! Originally hired in 2007 for our San Ramon kitchen crew, Adriana made the move with us last year to Pleasanton when we relocated from San Ramon! Adriana has been crucial is helping train and develop our newer crew members. We value Adriana’s hard work, effort, and expertise all around, but especially in her ability to guide and teach others ❤️

Employee-Owner Robert celebrated his 10th Anniversary on May 29th! We first welcomed Robert to our Rockridge and North Berkeley dining room crew in 2012. In 20109, Robert joined our leadership team as an assistant manager and now divides his time between Rockridge, North Berkeley, and Grand Lake! We appreciate Robert for lots of reasons, his high level of dedication and effortless blend of professionalism and personality in his role are just a few of them ????

Congratulations to both Adriana and Robert and a HUGE THANK YOU for all you do for Zachary’s. Our love and appreciation is unmeasurable ❤️????❤️
