"It’s required by law that you take all visitors to Chicago out for deep dish pizza. And when you have a skeptic on your hands, it’s essential that you pick the right place. There are lots of spots to choose from, but Pequod’s is the best. The pizza here is pan-style (so it doesn’t have the river of cheese you get from a classic deep dish pie), and the best part is the caramelized crust. Bring tissues for when the tears of joy inevitably roll down your friend’s cheeks." - adrian kane
