Sacramentans know Zelda’s Original Gourmet Pizza is the hottest place to get an authentic Chicago deep dish pie. Founder Zelda Breslin launched her shop in 1978, after gaining culinary pizza training at a Chicago pizzeria. In 2024, her family sold the restaurant to Jon Stevenson and Beau Cornell, who have been running the still-popular shop for just over a year. Stevenson and Cornell believe Breslin was one of the first people to bring deep dish to the Sacramento region, and possibly the entire state of California. “It’s strangely a divisive pizza, because people have very personal tastes about what pizza is, what it should be,” Cornell said. “It’s like a love-it-or-hate-it kind of thing, but the people who love it are rad.” To read more about Zelda's and Sacramento's many other pizza places, check out sacbee.com. ✍️: Sean Timberlake and Camila Pedrosa 📸: Hannah Ruhoff #pizza #sacramento #zeldas #food #foodie #restaurant #california #deepdishpizza
