Zacharys Chicago Pizza

I know it's in Berkeley, but this is the best Chicago style pizza, even compared to Chicago attractions such as Gino. The filled pizzas are the main attraction – cloby tomatoes above, a mixture of crust and cheese next to, then toppings, all on a fluffy, buttery crust. It's the perfect pizza. The thin pizzas are good, especially for children who cannot enjoy the filled pizzas. The room is nothing special and it can be hard to get a table during the busy times. You do not take reservations. My recommendation – take it out. During the busy times it may be hard to get your order in (busy signal). It is incredibly difficult to drive home with a pizza in the car – the smell alone is amazing and you have to hold back yourself! If you don't go to eat the pizza right away or you will eat it during a busy time (weekend), order it early and order it half baked. Take it home and put it in the oven for 15 minutes when you are ready to eat.

On a cross-country trip to sunny California, one of the stations was Chicago for a real deep dish pizza. Yum yum yummy! Quickly forward a few months later, craving some Chicago style pizza, a friend recommended to try Zachary for some deep dish action. After I cost the pizza, it might have been better than if I had it in Chicago! Delicious crust, delish sauce, gooey cheese, and excellent toppings come together to enjoy a pizza experience best with a knife and fork. Can't wait to go back, though my waist may not forgive me...

i live in chicago and after sampling the pizza out here (gino’s, giordano’s, uno’s), honestly, i can’t tell the difference b/t zachary’s chicago pizza out here. don’t get me wrong, each pizza joint has its own style/flavor, but zachary’s is a tasty take of chicago-style pizza. i agree w/the previous posts also about ordering take-out…the wait times can be ridiculously long if you dine in (i.e. hours).

I had Chicago pizza in Chicago. Zachary is better than that. Zachary’s could be the best pizza in the USA. I'm not the only person who thinks that. The sauce is wonderful tomato eyes. Some people don't like tomato sauce. Some people believe that crust is more important than sauce. These people usually think that Zachary is just “good” instead of “transcendent wonderful”. But it's really wonderful.

After I tried Chicago-style pizza in Chicago, I prefer the Zachary pizza. I liked Chicago's pizza for its crispy, flocky crust and layered toppings, but I love Zachary's liberal use of tomato sauce. A combination of Chicago style crust and toppings with Zachary tomato sauce would make a complete pizza.
