Zachary's Chicago PizzaB+

1853 Solano Ave, Berkeley, CA 94707 · Pizza restaurant, Family restaurant · Berkeley

Destination for Chicago-style stuffed pies with reliable thin-crust backups; expect a 30–40 minute bake and hearty portions that please most, though some find the sauce-forward style and wait times challenging.

Why this grade

Zachary's Chicago Pizza delivers solid neighborhood dining through excellent food quality anchored by iconic stuffed pies and bright tomato sauce, supported by friendly, attentive service. However, inconsistent execution—occasional cold arrivals and sauce dominance—and typical 30–40 minute waits for stuffed pies prevent a higher grade. A beloved local institution with strong loyalty and generous portions, it competes well with respected neighborhood favorites but lacks the distinction of premier regional destinations.

One caveat: Bake times can stretch on busy nights; plan for 30–40 minutes for stuffed pies
