The location is very convenient. There is plenty of parking in the back of the building we arrived about 30 minutes from closing. We were seated immediately it took about 20 minutes for the pizza to come out Wait staff was very courteous and attentive. The ambience was clean and open. There's outside seating for those warm days, we ordered the pepperoni, mushroom, olive onion, and jalapeño with extra cheese stuffed crust. pizza what arrived was jalapeño, olive and extra cheese. A bummer but still good. I also had a glass of Cabernet. make sure to check your food before you eat it all that tomato sauce covers everything.

This was our first time having Chicago deep dish style pizza in so long. We've always heard such rave reviews about Zachary's. The parking in the back is plenty and close to the restaurant. We were seated quickly and order taken. We knew based on the menu that the deep dish would take longer to make. We had the caesar salad and it was refreshing and the shredded cheese was delicious. For the pizza, we ordered half of spinach and mushroom and half of Zachary's special. The first pull of the slice had that gooey cheese, which was awesome. The crust was a bit stiff to my liking but the flavor of the ingredients were decent.

4+ The Pleasanton location of the regional chain of Chicago style pizzas. Having roots and living in the East Bay for a long time. I've been to a few of their locations now. This was my first visit at this location. These days when we order a pizza here, I mostly eat one slice in a sitting. These are thick. It's like a pizza casserole if you're familiar with Chicago style pizza. We also ordered some wings here as well that were good. When we went to go pick up the order, parking was easy of find in the downtown Pleasanton area or the lot behind. The space is pretty large with a dining area and a bar area where a game was on the television at the time. While waiting for the food, my brother and I got a couple of beers. The people here friendly in this place, definitely has that communal vibe that you find in neighborhood spots. Just a great spot, especially if you're craving that dense Chicago style pizza.

Zachary's Special
Christina L.

First time ever having deep dish pizza and it was tasty. Easy parking around. The decor was so adorable inside, my favorite being Totoro artwork. No wait for weekday dinner. Plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. Order a medium size pizza for 2 people which was plenty, the total was about $43. Service was great standard. The pizza was fresh, saucey, and cheesy. The dough had a great crunch for the height of the pizza. Pretty delicious for Chicago style pizza, very filling!

First had Zachary's in college, and now I crave it all the time. The Pleasanton location is the one closest to me, and whenever I'm in the area, I stop in for a stuffed half signature spinach mushroom, and half Zachary's classic. Service is always friendly and efficient. Plenty of clean, comfortable indoor and some outdoor seating to enjoy your pizza there, but I always take mine to go.

The 2nd half was plain cheese

I love Zachary's. But the last time I ordered was via DoorDash. I ordered 1/2 cheese, 1/2 custom toppings; the custom toppings half was correct, but the cheese 1/2 had onions, mushrooms, and green peppers. Tried that evening and the next morning to do the DoorDash 'help', but the form wouldn't get past the screen after adding photos. The following evening I was finally able to, but the 24 hour window had passed. Mistakes happen, but there should be quality assurance along the way...and in all hoesty, how hard is it to read an order and make a pizza correctly?

The  double door entrance to Zachary's is somewhat hidden from street view, located on the side of the building. Just follow the pathway.

The entrance to Zachary's can be confusing since the double door entrance is hidden out of view, on the side of the building. If you are on the main street, the entrance is on the left side of the building (left side of the Zachary sign on the building). Just follow the path. This location has a patio, great for warm days, or simply for enjoying the view of the busy street. The staff was so friendly and attentive. Even though we were outside, the staff did a wonderful job checking in on us, offering refills of our beverages and water while l ensuring we were doing well and taken care of (Shout out to Izzy and crew!) The Order: Medium Chicago Style Zachary Special One thing to know when ordering a Chicago deep dish pizza is that it will take about 30min to cook. That delicious thickness needs time... so I recommend ordering some drinks, maybe an appetizer and enjoy yourself with conversation... because these Deep Dish pizzzas are worth the wait. *Pro-tip: put a little honey on your crust. A nice little treat to elevate an already amazing pizza.

One of my favorite pizza spots to come to! Not only are their pizzas the best, but their customer service is flawless! Always friendly, prompt, and so welcoming. The restaurant itself is clean and the bathrooms are clean (super important). I enjoy sitting outside on a sunny day to enjoy my pizza and people watch!

Stuffed large half baked - half spinach mushroom and half chicken artichokes -- both our favorites!
Khim Y.

This is an amazing place! Came here for a farewell lunch for 30 people recently and everyone raved about the food and experience. The stuffed pizzas were delicious, we ordered 5 large ones for us to share and it was just enough for all of us as we were mostly small eaters. Asked the kitchen to cut them into 12s so everyone could taste as many different types as possible. We also ordered 4 entree salads and 3 roasted cauliflowers, all excellent. I called the day before and the manager specifically made sure that he shifted workers around to cater to us. They set up the middle room for us and it was just perfect, cozy and intimate. We also preordered the food ahead of time so they could get ready when we arrived. We still ended up waiting a little but it would've been a longer wait if we hadn't ordered ahead. Shout out to our waiter Lucy, who took care of all of us beautifully. As for which pizza was our favorite, many of us said it was the spinach and mushroom, but some of us also loved the chicken and artichoke stuffed pizza that we special ordered. I loved the experience so much that I came back to take out a half baked pizza for a friend in Napa over the weekend. Ordered it half spinach mushroom and half chicken artichoke, and that's the one that I took a picture of. Everything tasted so fresh I didn't even react to the cheese when I normally have lactose intolerance.

Way back when I was visiting the area regularly, i took a enjoyable hike elsewhere in the East Bay. Afterward we were really hungry and decided that the best way to rectify the problem was to head to Zachary's for some of their exceptional pizza :-) Years ago, I paid my 1st visit to Zachary's (at a different location); ever since, the quality of their pies has been ballooning in my memory. I found myself wanting to return there for a 2nd visit, and found it wasn't at all difficult to convince my friend to join me. Long story short - I was delighted to discover that the pizza at Zachary's was every bit as good as I remembered - maybe even better! When we arrived at Zachary's, the sights and smells of their pizza reminded me in the best way possible that we were about to enjoy a Chicago-style pie like virtually no other in NorCal. The crust is almost like a pie crust that's stuffed (rather than topped) with the toppings you choose. The crust's quality is exceptional, and it's cooked to perfection. The sauce takes things to an even higher level, with the pizza bursting into a taste explosion of well-seasoned deliciousness. Tip: While the quality of the food here is through the roof, the prices unfortunately are not for the faint of heart. That said, you'll find the pizza so filling that you don't need to worry about the prices - even the hungriest guest will find that after one or two slices they are totally full :-) That afternoon we opted for a medium stuffed-crust pie with fresh garlic, sausage, pepperoni, and mushrooms. It was served about 40 minutes after we placed our order, and the overall taste profile was superb - a beautifully balanced symphony of tastes and textures. I totally recommend Zachary's to anyone who finds themselves craving some exceptional Chicago-style pizza. I look forward to returning the next time I'm in the neighborhood.

Cheese and Pepperoni Deep Dish
Carlos C.

We really enjoyed this place! It was abit confusing to get to the main door at first, we had to walk down the alley. There was no entrace from the main street. Once inside we were greeted warmly and quickly seated. The staff was friendly for a busy day. The art on the walls were really cool and lending itself to laid back atompshere. There is outdoor seating and ample indoor seating too. We decided to order the pepperoni deep dish. We were not disappointed. It takes about 35 mins to come out, but that was to be expected. Definitely recommend you call in your order before showing up, unless you want to take advantage with their happy hour. They have some decent wine and beer selections too. The pizza came out piping hot and the crust was crispy despite all the toppings weighing it down.

Pizza and Artichoke Pizza
Mariaela G.

Pizza on a lazy Saturday afternoon? Always a yes. Deep Dish Chicago Pepperoni? Even better. 20 minutes after, we were at Zachary's, seated in a cozy corner of the outdoor dining area. Only a few guests were outside, service was steady, and we settled in for the wait - which turned out to be on the longer side. All good, it gave us a good stretch of time to chat and catch up, so no complaints there. When our pepperoni and artichoke deep-dish finally arrived, I was famished - late lunch turning into early dinner will do that. But even with hunger, I only managed a few bites. The pizza tasted sour, which threw the whole experience off. The best part was actually the crust, which had great texture and flavor, but everything else felt a bit mismatched. The restaurant itself was clean, and it carried that typical Pleasanton ambience - comfortable, family-friendly, predictable in a good way. A decent stop for deep-dish lovers, but this particular pizza just didn't hit the mark for me.

What’s the difference between stuffed pizza and deep dish pizza? I keep hearing those words interchangeably used with Zacharys and Chicagos Pizzeria uno? Also, is tomato sauce the only sauce for their pizza?

Good question! Although stuffed and deep-dish pizzas are similar, there are key differences. The main one being that stuffed pizzas have a second, thin layer of dough separating the ingredients and sauce, while deep-dish pizzas do not. In a stuffed… 

Is the outdoor patio a dog friendly patio?

Yes! Been there many times with my pooch!

Definitely coming back for more delicious pizza. Ribeye was cooked well but vegetables could have been cooked and seasoned a little more. Brasato was flavorful and balanced well with the polenta but beware if you have a big appetite, as it may not be enough. Not pictured was a dish with clams my Mother ordered that really upset her stomach... hopefully a one-off case. Drinks were on the small side and were quite pricey but tasted pretty good. As we were there at peak lunch time, the room was full of parties all enjoying a nice summer lunch and noise level was pretty loud but not "shout-at-your-neighbor loud" In short, come for the pizza and to enjoy a great place to catch up with old friends or family but maybe avoid the clams...

I love trying new pizza places, and when I saw a place near Pleasanton's Main Street called New…read moreYork Pizza, I thought, alright, let's see what they've got. Then I noticed all the awards and "best pizza" claims plastered on the window. After eating a slice, my first question was: Who the hell voted for this? And while we're at it, who the hell is giving this place five-star reviews? If you ate this pizza and genuinely thought, "Yep, five stars," I seriously question everything you know about pizza. Your reviewing privileges need to be temporarily suspended until you go eat some actual good pizza and recalibrate your taste buds. Let's start with the cheese because this is where things immediately went off the rails. I have no idea what cheese they're using, but it sure as hell doesn't taste like good whole-milk mozzarella or quality pizza cheese like Grande. It tasted like the cheapest bag of processed shredded cheese somebody could find. If your business has "pizza" in the name, the cheese should probably be one of the things you get right. Then there's the sauce. Calling it bland would almost be a compliment. No real seasoning, no oregano, no noticeable garlic, barely any salt--just red sauce existing on top of dough. It tasted like somebody opened a giant food-service can, dumped it into a container, and said, "Yep, pizza sauce." The pepperoni? Completely forgettable. Standard cheap-tasting pepperoni that brought absolutely nothing to the party. Honestly, the entire pizza tasted like every ingredient was selected using one rule: find the cheapest possible version and put it on some dough. Then you look back at those awards in the window and start wondering if they came free with the pizza oven. Pleasanton's Main Street has way too many good places to eat for pizza like this to get a pass. I wanted to like it, but this was straight-up terrible. New York deserves an apology. And some of these four or five-star reviewers need their pizza-reviewing licenses revoked.
