It was the 22-year-old's 18th goal of the season, drawing him level with Lazio's Ciro Immobile as the league's joint-top scorer, and he came close to a second before halftime in an impressive Bianconeri bow.
Things got even better for Massimiliano Allegri's side after the break when deadline day arrival Zakaria sprinted forward from midfield to hammer a shot into the bottom corner.
Juventus climbed two points above Atalanta into fourth place with 45 points, eight behind leaders Inter Milan, while Verona are ninth with 33 points.
