This is a pure, genuine, heartfelt, customer appreciation post to say THANK YOU for voting us ‘Best Pizza’ in Diablo Magazine and the East Bay Express’ annual Best of the East Bay polls!

We are so honored and humbled by your love and support and so incredibly appreciative of both. We love doing what we do, but being able to share it with all of you is what makes it special ❤️ We say it all the time, but it can never be said enough, we truly have the best community around!

We also want to take a minute to thank our incredible and hard working team. They’re the foundation that allows us to do what we do, and do it with such a commitment to excellence.

Now back to work making those delicious pizzas for you, cuz it’s the weekend, it’s going to be beautiful out, and y’all need some pizza to enjoy with it! 🤗🍕😋

The Zachary’s Art Contest may be officially closed, but the fun has just begun for us 🙂

We spent a fun (albeit very challenging) week voting on all of the amazing and creative artwork we received, both in person and online, for this year’s art contest! We were blown away by your creativity, humor, and skill, and had such a hard time narrowing down the submissions. Narrow them down we had to though, and the winning pieces have finally been chosen and their artists contacted as of last Friday!

We wanted to take a moment to thank each and every one of you who participated in this year’s contest. The Zachary’s Art Contest is one of our most cherished traditions and we love the ability to connect with you in such a fun and engaging way. Pieces not chosen as a winner can be picked up at the location it was submitted to until June 3, 2023. We plan on getting all the new art up over the course of June!

The Zachary’s Art Contest 40th Anniversary Edition is HERE! After a 3 year hiatus, we’re bringing the contest back to help celebrate our 40th anniversary this year. Now through Wednesday, May 3rd submit your best, most creative, fun, and unique Zachary’s inspired artwork for the chance to be featured on the walls of our restaurants!

The Zachary’s Art Contest is open to all ages, and can be individual work or group collaborations- including school classrooms! Artwork should be inspired by Zachary’s and include our name and/or logo. We encourage you to incorporate our 40th anniversary into your creative vision, but it’s not mandatory. Artwork can be turned in at any Zachary’s location.

Submissions must be in one of the following sizes*:
36″x48″
32″x32″
26″x26″
24″x36″

Artwork submissions must also include a completed Art Contest Rules & Entry form. Forms are available at all locations, or you can download one HERE. Paper must be heavy enough for matting, but please do not mat artwork yourself. Zachary’s will mount and frame all winning entries.

Submissions must be received by May 3rd to be included in the contest. Graphic designs can be submitted to artcontest@zacharys.com. If chosen as a winner, the artist will be responsible for printing their artwork.

Winning artists receive a $100 Zachary’s Gift Certificate and two Zachary’s T-Shirts, plus bragging rights ???? For complete rules please refer to the Art Contest Rules & Entry form. To view examples of past winning artwork, you can visit our Pizza Art section under the About Us tab. Please contact artcontest@zacharys.com if you have any questions.

*Due to supply chain issues we’ve been unable to source art paper. Our apologies to anyone who’s been waiting. There is still a limited amount at all locations, but size availability varies by location. We’ve tried to spread what remaining paper we have out as best as possible. You can also submit artwork on your own paper, or email your graphic designs to artcontest@zacharys.com.

We know you’ve been waiting, and the time has arrived to announce the  results of the Zachary’s T-Shirt Contest! How could we narrow it down to one winner when we had such amazing designs and it was an incredibly close race? We couldn’t. This is why we’re thrilled to announce one Grand Prize Winner and three Winners!

So, without further ado, the Grand Prize winner is (drumroll please ????)…Rob Corder! ???? Our three Winners (in no particular order) are: Bianca Alvarez, Jay Firestone, and Ian Ransley.

We will print the winning designs in cycles throughout the next year or so one at a time as limited editions. Once we sell out- that’s all folks. The Grand Prize winning design will be available for sale in early March. Stay tuned to our social media accounts, website, or subscribe to our newsletter (join HERE) for the exact release date!

To help celebrate our 40^th anniversary this year (!!) and thank our communities, 50% of contest shirt profits will be donated to the Alameda County Community Food Bank and Monument Crisis Center in Concord! ☺️

A huge thank you to everyone who participated in the contest and to everyone who voted! We can’t wait to get these beauties up for sale! ????

We will have special hours at all locations for New Year’s Eve. We will be open until 8:30pm for dine-in, and 9pm for takeout. Please keep this in mind if you plan on visiting us New Year’s Eve. All locations will be closed on New Year’s Day. We’ll be back to normal hours on Monday, January 2nd.

Cheers to 2023 and for a safe and festive New Year’s celebration!

Having a Halloween Pizza Party?

We recommend these ordering tips.

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 Halloween! Easy-to-follow instructions come with each order. Wondering just how easy half-baked pizzas are to finish off at home? Check out our Instagram Story. 

PICKUP EARLY HALLOWEEN DAY: If you have to pickup on Halloween, we still recommend ordering half-baked pizzas and picking them up early that Monday morning. We open at 11am at all locations. 

ORDER PIZZAS IN ADVANCE: If you are ordering fully cooked pizzas for pickup on Halloween Day, place your order now to ensure your preferred pickup time. You can order days in advance and have your pizzas delayed for Halloween (or whatever day your event is!). We anticipate a high volume of orders over Halloween weekend and 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.
