Zachary's Chicago Pizza, Deep-dish pizzeria in Oakland, United States.
Zachary's Chicago Pizza is a pizzeria in Oakland that serves thick, stuffed pizzas in Chicago style with multiple layers of cheese, fresh vegetables, and tomato sauce inside a buttery crust. The restaurant offers both dine-in seating and takeaway options for customers.
The restaurant was established in the early 1980s and brought authentic Midwestern deep-dish pizza traditions to California's East Bay region. Staff involvement in its founding shaped the business approach from the start.
The walls display over 300 local artworks collected through community art contests since the mid-1980s. This collection turns the space into a living gallery where visitors discover regional artists while enjoying their meal.
The entrance and interior are spacious and easy to navigate, making it convenient for larger groups and families. Visitors should expect longer wait times during peak hours since pizzas are made fresh to order.
The establishment is employee-owned and operated by the same people who founded it, giving the place a rare continuity and sense of stability. This structure means the people behind the pizza are present daily and personally invested in quality and service.
