Best WLM Reviews

Pretty legit Chicago deep dish for a respectable price. A large can comfortably feed 3.
Have been here a handful of times and always left with a positive impression. The deep dish is fairly authentic, probably similar to Lou’s in Chicago, but sausage is a bit lacking here. Recommend the Zachary’s special, carne, or any veggie pizza. Everything from the cheese to the tomato sauce and crust are good. Nicely sweet and filling. I recommend you get the pizzas made well done to get that crispy crust. The “thin crust” is good but probably not worth the price. Come here for the deep dish and you’ll leave satisfied!
Recommend coming at lunch to avoid any waits. Also, eating deep dish at night can be pretty heavy after. Don’t be afraid of leftovers. These pizzas might actually be even better reheated the next day. Servers are always friendly and helpful with any questions.
Have heard salads are good, but I’ve only paid attention to the pizzas, the stars of the show.
Visited with some friends. Very good pizza and surprisingly light for a deep dish (in a good way). I could taste all of the ingredients so it definitely felt fresher than a typical pizza place. Really nice staff and cool local art hanging on the walls.
It’s been yeeeeears since I’ve had an honest to goodness Chicago deep dish pizza. Zachary’s does this very well so it’s worth all these five star ratings. The staff was kinda and had my order to go in about thirty minutes. WOW! That first bite was an explosion of fresh mozzarella, robust tomatoes, and great pepperoni. All of the flavors just hit you like an old school Mike Tyson uppercut. The small size gets you six THICK slices of pizza…and it was an inch high!
Very very yummy. We had the deep dish Carne and now I want to come back and try all the other flavors of their stuffed pizzas. We had a salad with apples that was very tasty as well. Drove from the peninsula just to try out their food and I can say I recommend the spot. Also liked the feel of the restaurant, very casual and unpretentious.
My boo took me here as a surprise after work. I love the 80s pizza place vibe of the place and the cool artwork on the walls. We ordered the carne pizza and salad. Yummy, yummy deep dish pizza and arugula salad that we substituted for spring mix because they were out of arugula. Would come back again!
The pizza here is exceptional. I shared a Zachary’s Special small pizza with a friend, and it exceeded my expectations. The service was just as good as the food. Thanks for being just as awesome as I remembered from my college days!
Zachary's Chicago Pizza is the kind of place that makes you feel like you've hit the jackpot. The pizza ingredients are super fresh and extra flavorful, making each bite an experience in itself. If Chicago pie is anything like this, then count me in!
I ordered the pizza half-baked so that I could enjoy the pie at home right out of the oven. When I finally got to indulge in my fully baked masterpiece, I was blown away by the flavors. The crust was perfectly crispy and the cheese was perfectly melted, creating a perfect harmony of textures and flavors.
The ambiance of the restaurant is trendy and modern, catering to the college crowds just down the road at UC Berkeley. The place has a youthful vibe that makes it perfect for casual gatherings with friends or family.
What really made my experience at Zachary's Chicago Pizza exceptional was the staff. They were super friendly and knowledgeable about the pizza-making process. They took the time to explain each ingredient and helped me make some great choices when building my pie.
All in all, Zachary's Chicago Pizza is a must-visit spot for anyone looking for an exceptional pizza experience. The ingredients are fresh, the flavors are out of this world, and the staff is simply amazing. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for a great time and an even greater pizza.
The servers were friendly and helpful. Parking could be an issue sometimes.
The stuffed (deep dish) pizzas are really heavy and filling. A stuffed small 10” pizza would easily feed two hungry adults. You can always take the leftovers but just be aware of how filling these deep dish pizzas are!
