Two San Ramon Pizza Favorites: Zachary’s Vs. Z Pizza

We should all feel so fortunate to have two vastly different yet phenomenal pizza restaurants right here in the Tri-Valley city of San Ramon.

Let’s start with one pizzeria that has been a staple in the East Bay for over 25 years.  Zachary’s Chicago Pizza has quickly become a Tri-Valley favorite with its newest location in the heart of San Ramon.  Zachary’s Pizza is best known for serving up deep dish style pizza.

For years, I have traveled to the Berkeley restaurant just to pick up a couple of half-baked deep dish pizzas to bring home.  As I started my return trip, the amazing smells that emanated from the box put me into an euphoric state. I remember numerous times being so overwhelmed that I almost pulled the car over on the 580 highway just to take a bite. 

Obviously, I like pizza. Not only are the smells from Zachary’s Pizza delightful, the taste is unreal. From its deep dish look to its bakery-styled crust to its thick and chunky tomato sauce, this pizza is one of the best in the Tri-Valley and potentially all of Northern California.

An equally good yet substantially different style of pizza comes from another San Ramon pizza shop, Z Pizza.  Z Pizza is not only in San Ramon, franchises can be found in 14 states nationally.  Their specialty - unique thin crust pizzas with an emphasis on ingredients. The dough is made from premium Montana winter-wheat flour prepared fresh every day, hand-thrown and fire-baked until uniquely crisp. The quality continues as the toppings go on. They combine select ingredients using award-winning skim mozzarella from Wisconsin, certified organic tomato sauce, MSG-free pepperoni, additive-free sausage, and fresh produce.  The combo a pizza with perfect texture and exquisite taste.

So, Zachary’s vs. Z Pizza.  Thankfully, we don’t have to choose one.  I make regular trips to both of these fine establishments.
