We LOVE Halloween at Zachary’s!

And, lucky for us, a lot of our fabulous customers love celebrating Halloween with us! If you are interested in picking up pizzas on Halloween, we suggest ordering them today. We will have your pizza ready at the exact time you want to pick it up! Better yet, order a half-baked pizza to pick up on Halloween morning, so you can avoid the to-go line at night!

Space in our ovens fills up fast, so reserve your spot now!

Check out some of our fantastic crew costumes from Halloween 2015!

This October, Zachary’s is supporting Breast Cancer Awareness Month. For the month of October only, we will sell pink T-Shirts and pink Baseball Caps at all four of our Zachary’s locations.

Rachel and Kylee (fantastic mom-daughter team working at Zachary’s) are modeling the shirt. Their lives were touched by breast cancer and they are passionate about raising awareness and support.

Employee owners, Vicente and David are modeling our hats. Don’t they look great?!

All proceeds from the t-shirt and hat sales go to the American Cancer Society.

Woo-hoo! We are pumped!

All of our locations will be closed for the Fourth of July. Enjoy the holiday! We will reopen at 11am on Tuesday, July 5th.

We had a blast with the kids from Sprouts this past Tuesday at our College Avenue location in Oakland! Sprouts brings together Bay Area youth from all backgrounds to learn about food and cooking with Bay Area chefs in Bay Area restaurants.

We chopped some veggies, made some mini-Zachary’s pizzas and folded a lot of togo boxes! These kids are pretty awesome! Thanks for stopping by Sprouts!

The walls of our restaurants are filled with one-of-a-kind Zachary’s Pizza Art. We held our first art contest in the late 1980′s and the tradition has continued every couple of years to this day. We love our art and the artists. Ladies and Gentlemen, meet Hannah de Vries!

My name is Hannah de Vries and art has been my passion from a very young age. My entry was inspired by a famous Norman Rockwell painting called “The Connoisseur.” I alluded to the uniqueness of Zachary’s Pizza by making comparisons to the historical context behind Abstract Expressionism of the 1940’s, a subject that I have studied in school. I worked tirelessly for about three days at a wonderful art gallery called ArtU4ia in downtown Martinez to complete this piece. The most fun I had working on it was by far doing the drip pizza; I loved getting messy and wild with the house paint!

     The first time I bit into a Zachary’s pizza was at my Uncle Bob and Tante Judi’s house near the Solano location. We used to have pizza dinners with my cousins, while our parents would enjoy their wine. There were several nights that our parents had a glass too many, which, to our child knowledge of things meant pizza AND surprise sleepovers! Since then, Zachary’s has been an ongoing favorite family outing. My favorite Zachary’s go-to will forever be the spinach and mushroom deep dish with pesto on the top. My Dad and I usually end up fighting for the last slice.

    I always loved seeing the art that hung on the walls at the Zachary’s College location, and I aspired to enter their art competition for years! Once the Pleasant Hill location opened up closer to my home town, I finally took the opportunity to create something that I was proud to call my own. I am grateful to the Zachary’s staff for their amazing years of service and pizza.

We’re super pumped about being featured in this video from Visit California (California Travel & Tourism Commission) and California Dream Eater! CHECK IT OUT – click on image or HERE!

On Sunday, March 20th, Team Zachary’s woke up bright and early to line up at the starting line of the Oakland Running Festival’s Annual 5K! 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
