Since we’ll be closed on January 1st, that sadly means there will be no Pizza Mind Trivia that night. However, Robert will be back in action and ready to delight you with riveting questions and his delightful personality on January 15th! Same time (6:30pm), same place (Zachary’s Grand Lake), same great prizes ($50 Zachary’s Gift Certificate for 1st Place!), and the same delicious pizza. See you then 😉

All locations will be closed on Thanksgiving Day. But what about our Thanksgiving pizza party, you ask? Half-bakes, we say.

If pizza is on your Thanksgiving menu (be it breakfast, lunch, dinner, or a midday snack 😉), make sure you order half-baked pizzas now to finish off on Thursday. We highly recommend the following tips to ensure we’re able to grace your Thanksgiving Day table, and to make it as seamless as possible for you!

ORDER & PICKUP HALF-BAKES EARLY: 

Our half-baked pizzas last 4 days in the refrigerator. Beat the crowd by ordering and picking up pizzas the days leading up to Thanksgiving! Monday or Tuesday would be ideal as we anticipate a high volume of business that Wednesday. Easy-to-follow instructions come with each order. Wondering just how easy half-baked pizzas are to finish off at home? Check out out the short reel below curtsy of @_wheresthefoodat via Instagram.

ORDER PIZZAS IN ADVANCE: Place your order now to ensure your preferred pickup day and time. You can order days in advance and have your pizzas delayed for your chosen date. Some pickup times may fill up, which is why placing your order early is highly recommended! Please note delay orders must be placed over the phone.

We’ll reopen at 11am as normal at all locations November 29th!

It’s a treasure hunt at Zachary’s Grand Lake! We were recently contacted by one of our winning 2023 Zachary’s Art Contest artists who revealed their artwork contained a treasure hunt that had been hanging in plain site since last summer! And since this week is our 41st anniversary we thought it would be a fun time to announce it!

The painting in question is hanging on the north wall of Zachary’s Grand Lake (the wall on your right when you walk in). You’ll need to use your own ingenuity to identify the correct painting which presents a puzzle that’ll direct you to one of 15 $10 digital Zachary’s gift cards online. You will need to enter your email address to claim a found gift card which will be emailed to you by the artist.

PLEASE READ FOR IMPORTANT INFORMATION.

1.) You must provide your email address to claim a digital gift card. If you solve the puzzle, you cannot opt for cash or a physical card at the restaurant. The gift cards are only redeemable from the artist himself who will email you a digital card.

2.) Only one gift card can be redeemed within a 24hr period. The site will automatically update. Be sure to try again the next day if you solve the puzzle but that days gift card has already been claimed!

3.) DO NOT touch the artwork. Nothing is written on the back, nothing is in the frame, there is nothing under the glass.

4.) Do not climb on anything. The hunt is perfectly solvable with two feet planted on the ground.

5.) Art can only be studied during Zachary’s Grand Lake business hours. Sunday to Monday, 11am-8:30pm, Friday and Saturday 11:00am to 9pm.

6.) Participants must follow the guidance of Zachary’s employees. This includes taking a break from studying artwork so the line can move efficiently when we get busy.

7.) Since this treasure hunt is organized and hosted by the winning artist and artwork specific, it’s only taking place at Zachary’s Grand Lake.

All of us at Zachary’s and our anonymous artist hopes this treasure hunt inspires our community to always be creative and generous ❤️ Happy treasure hunting!

Pizza with a Purpose: Support Our Special Fundraiser for the Stanford Cancer Institute.

We’re coming together in support of one of our long-standing customers who is currently battling cancer. This month we’ll be featuring their favorite pizza combo as a fundraiser special for cancer research. The Matt’s Special is artichoke, pesto, and free-range chicken breast with mozzarella cheese. We’ll be donating 20% of sales from its sales to the Stanford Cancer Institute. The Stanford Cancer Institute is dedicated to discovering cancer’s causes and treatments, and applying that knowledge to improved diagnostic, therapeutic and prevention strategies.

We invite you to join us in supporting a great organization and know that besides enjoying a super delicious pizza, you’ll also help provide necessary resources and hope to those in need. The Matt’s Special will be available as both a stuffed and a thin crust pizza. If you’d like to learn more about the Stanford Cancer Institute and the important work they’re doing, click HERE.

UPDATE:

We are beyond excited to announce that, with the support of our amazing community, we raised $6,680 for the Stanford Cancer Institute! This was possible thanks to every one of you who purchased a Matt’s Special pizza and helped us support a cause near and dear to our hearts.

Cancer touches so many lives, and by helping us support the Stanford Cancer Institute, you’re helping fund the crucial research that brings hope to countless individuals and families. Seeing so many of you join us be it dining in, ordering takeout, or simply spreading the word, further bolstered our belief and faith in the power and unity of our community. We want to extend our deepest gratitude to everyone who participated. Here’s to more slices of hope and generosity in the future!
