Deep dish in SF? Thats like having Buffalo Wings in LA!! LOL!!

Probably not the same thing!!
Posted 12 months ago. ( permalink )

I am all about thin crust.
and crunchy.

just make sure you watch them cook it so you know they're not blowing air from their mouth under the pizza dough during pre-cooking.

yes. some places do that. I was a witness..

holy good GOD, you guys work fast! i just uploaded this drama!

hashim,
you're just JEALOUS. in all caps!
that is all.

rokkinfoto,
dude, next time i'm in chicago, i gotta have the chicago version.
for now, this does quite nicely. god, i've been hungry for hours, and this photo is making it worse.

hoda,
thick crust is crunchy, tooooo. and, umm, blowing air from their mouths under the pizza dough? whoa. thanks, i will never trust pizza places again.

i'm waiting for our phoenix buddy, O, to come along eventually and tell us all about his take on Zachary's!

I am curious about the filling - what else it has apart from pizza sauce.

we used to spend whole afternoons plucking feathers off dead chickens.

ARE YOU SERIOUS? Why? because every family slaughtered their own chicken?

PS as a loyalist NYer I must say, deep dish sucks, thin crust rocks. :P i have had deep dish at giordanos in chicago, and i was not THAT impressed. my rxn: "it's stuffed and deep - congratulations. its good. but i want a pizza, not a pastry dish."

Demerit to Yaz for posting Zachary's while I toil in the desert, helpless. It makes me anger and frustrate.

Where was I? Oh yeah. I want pizza for breakfast now but I didn't order any last night so I'm kind of stuck with a lame bowl of cereal. Bah.

Although Yaz, you still need to try Little Star, if I'm not mistaken.

And I'll just deal with the supposed best pizza in the country being a couple miles away from me :

i keep getting all these gmail notifications of your crackheaded flickr cmments, and i have no idea what's going on. but thank you for the 'quote archive' tag. that, buddy boy, is sheer GENIUS. i'm sure we'll be making use of it on other footoos, too, at the rate you're going.

O,
dude, i haven't heard of ANY of those places! i totally need to get out more. i like that the writer doesn't like pineapples on his pizza, though; that makes me trust him more.

also can't resist responding to hashim -

btw, if i were you... i'd for sure bullet that plucking experience on your resume.

well, i did mention it in my college application essays, how 'bout THAT?! ;)

and vxm:

nooo, no chai, yaara! i'll pass, thanks. and i don't even know what to say in response to your kopi luwak reference/link over there, but i am suitably enlightened now, and now i NEVER want to drink chai. that is all!

she's like *yah* and then proceeds to start singing one of her songs.

the restaurant manager came over and politely asked her to stop.

was actually pretty funny.

anyhow, she goes on to tell me about her massive crush on Zohaib...

you just keep me updated on what day it is, and i'll practice. when's your birthday? i bet it's december or january, since you love winter SO MUCH.

And then the girl with the rose yells "Nahin!" while the other girl runs over to him and cries and pats his head with a kerchief. Girl with rose then gets up and walks over to the other girl, slaps her, yells Chudail! and a catfight ensues. Rest of the jumo nacho crowd eagerly watches them pull each other's hair instead of helping Mr. Indian Idol , who's lying in pain. Meanwhile, the playback track is skipping and his "voice" is repeating "Huh! Huh!" over and over again...

OMAR!
i need to give you all-caps and multiple exclamation points (!!!!!!!!), because i was so amused by your comments on this photo, but little did i realize that that would be NO match for this evening, when Nadia told me you had come down into our corner of the east bay to visit her and A, and referenced my pic here and essentially said, 'we need to go to zachary's.' i laughed so hard, you have no idea. so THAT'S who the 'we' was! =) so glad you guys had a rocking time and enjoyed the pizza! hope ramadan's treating you and the familia well.
