best chicago style pizza, perhaps in the world.

we ordered all chicago style pizzas

omg nothing can beat this pizza.
they are so filling and yummy.

would definitely visit this place for chicago style pizza.

my first visit to zachary's tonight... got the stuffed chicken in a small (10")... wow! great flavor, substantial size for a small pizza, nice atmosphere in the restaurant (but got it to go), and friendly staff. kind of expensive but the quality is excellent. i will come back.

since the time i've come to california i.e. almost a month ago, zachary's and their chicago style deep dish pizzas have been on my wishlist. finally got a chance to visit this place last saturday and all i can say is that they serve the best pizzas ever!!

regulars have been frequenting this haunt from a very long time, and while the reputation of their deep dish pizzas has always preceded them, the popularity of these only seems to grow with each subsequent year. what makes zachary’s so unique is their classic chicago sauce-over-cheese approach.

so when we finally visited zachary's, we settled into their wooden chairs in the charming interiors and quickly placed our order since we were super hungry and knew that their pizzas take around 45 minutes to be cooked. we whiled away our time sipping on some wine and beer.

and when our half-n-half pizza arrived, it was love at first sight for me. the spinach & mushroom pizza came with toppings of fresh spinach and mushroom blended with 3 cheeses and special spices and with a pizza base that was soft, fluffy and just the perfect level of crust. how can you possibly say no to that?

the other half was the mediterranean pizza which turned out to be another great choice to sink our teeth into that came with enticing toppings of red bell pepper, green olives, artichoke hearts, feta and jack cheese.

the pizza was so filling that three slices were just enough for each of us (that too because we skipped lunch :-p).

the service was quick and our server was very polite and attentive even though the place was packed.

so to cut the long story short, absolutely loved the pizzas here and will definitely be going back for more.

long live zachary's!

been a fan of zachary's since i was a little girl and not much has changed. i'm a fan of their chicken special and also their stuffed pizza with sausage. deep dish pizza usually take around 30 minutes to bake, so do not come hangry (it will seem like an eternity believe me).

zachary's do a mean deep dish. so mean is it that you will invariably end up going back there the very next day like i did. i rarely do deep dishes. they require a large appetite, can go horribly wrong for most people and while chicago swears by it, i've had some very bad renditions in the windy city as well.

we had the classic spinach & mushroom deep dish and it was just heavenly. the tomato sauce was rich with soft tomatoes, the crust was thin but the second internal layer was nice and fluffy. and it all just came together beautifully on a plate.

my very first experience with chicago deep dish and if this is my yardstick of measuring how good deep dish is, then zachary's has given deep dish a huge huge boost. i am in love. 

large, delicious pizzas. i ordered a chicken pizza and between 3 of us, we cleaned up the pan and were left wanting for more. 

zachary's is a must for anyone who wants to try some good chicago deep dish pizza.

#750 - zachary's (pizza). zachary, wherever you are, i am sorry. your pie is not all it is cracked up to be. terrible tomato sauce, skimpy toppings, and soggy crust will never win a return visit from me or the chicagoans i frequent pizzerias with. according to them, the quality of the pies would probably lead to you going out of business in the windy city. it's not that i didn't want to like your food, i truly did. that night, i entered the restaurant hoping to break my 1-for-12 streak of nasty pizza places that claim to be "deep dish". unfortunately, i walked out at a depressing 1-for-13, a batting average not much higher than a cubs player's. until next time, but in the mean time, i'll head across the bridge and try my luck at little star.

rating: 4.5/10

i was born and raised in chicago, and this place falls far from chicago style pizza.

went there with family friday evening! ordered carne pizza which is all meat! disappointed it was overpowered by tomatoes! strong tomato taste, hardly tasted any meat! 2 out of 5!!!

the deep dish is the best! better than the deep dish i had in chicago. pie, pie, oh my!

the spinach salad was great, the pizza was excellent!

been going here since i was a little kid, and i have to say that their classic spinach and mushroom deep dish is one of my favorite things to eat in the whole entire world.

excellent. any time we are anywhere near, we stop in for pizza. it's worth the wait. they have a nice selection of beer too.
