Pizza lovers may rejoice to learn that the city of Livermore is welcoming during February at least two slice-serving establishments to its food scene.

Specializing in deep-dish pies, Zachary’s Chicago Pizza officially opened Feb. 2 downtown Livermore.

Zachary’s new location marks the chain’s second Tri-Valley eatery, joining a site in downtown Pleasanton.

“We’re so excited to be part of the Livermore community and very grateful for the warm welcome we’ve received,” Robin Smith, Zachary’s marketing & community relations manager and employee-owner, told Livermore Vine. “We can’t wait to welcome everyone in, serve some great pizza and start creating special memories together!”

Zachary’s occupies the former site of Patxi’s Pizza at 2470 First St., Suite 104.

Joining Zachary’s, Slice House by Tony Gemignani is slated this month to make its Tri-Valley debut.

Slice House is known for serving New York, Sicilian, Grandma and Detroit-style pies by the slice and whole pizza as well as pastas, wings and salads, including gluten-free, vegan and vegetarian options. Slice House also plans to serve craft beers, premium wines, sodas and juices, according to a statement from restaurant officials.

“Having grown up in the East Bay, it’s especially exciting to see Slice House expanding into a community so closely connected to my roots,” founder Gemignani said in a statement.

Restaurant operator Ratika Tyagi expressed similar sentiments surrounding the restaurant’s opening.

“We’ve seen firsthand how Slice House brings communities together over delicious pizza and a welcoming atmosphere,” Tyagi said in a statement. “Being local to the area, this location feels like home turf for me. Livermore’s downtown and surrounding neighborhoods are the perfect setting for Slice House, which brings together families, professionals, students and more to enjoy great food and good times.”

Grand opening events for Slice House at 1948 First St. are currently being planned, according to company officials.

Also set to make its Tri-Valley debut during 2026 is Doppio Zero, restaurant officials confirmed to Livermore Vine this week.

“We haven’t released an official announcement yet, but we’re happy to share that the rumors are true,” restaurant officials said.

Known for its Neapolitan pizza and Southern Italian cuisine, Doppio Zero currently has five locations in the Bay Area along with an additional restaurant set to open in Walnut Creek.

The opening date of Doppio Zero’s Livermore location has not yet been determined, according to restaurant officials.
