Zachary's Chicago Pizza, Chicago-style pizzeria in North Berkeley, US
Zachary's Chicago Pizza is a pizzeria in North Berkeley that prepares both thin crust and stuffed versions of Chicago-style pizza. Each pie comes loaded with generous cheese, fresh toppings, and a signature tomato sauce made to the restaurant's specifications.
The pizzeria opened in 1983 and grew from one location to multiple restaurants across the East Bay region of California. This expansion reflects how the original concept found success and became a recognized name in the area.
The walls display more than 300 pieces of art with pizza themes, collected from community contests that began in the mid-1980s. Visitors see how the restaurant has become a space where local artists share their work.
This establishment offers dine-in, takeout, and delivery options, with most days open from 11:00 AM to 8:30 PM. Busy periods can get crowded, so ordering ahead is often the best approach for a smooth visit.
The restaurant sells half-baked pizzas that customers can finish cooking at home while keeping the authentic taste intact. This option lets people bake their pizza fresh just before eating or bringing it to a gathering.
