"A recent survey of Chicago transplants proved that Pequod’s was a contributing factor in their decision to relocate here. OK, that’s not true, but whenever an out-of-towner asks us where they should get deep dish, we say “Pequods”—usually before they finish their question. Pequod’s serves pan-style pies, with sauce underneath the toppings (unlike traditional Chicago-style deep dish, which has sauce on top). What sets Pequod’s apart from the average pan-style is its “caramelized” crust, also known as the burnt edges of crispy cheese surrounding the pie. The crust itself is thick and airy with a great crunch, and the pies only have a little bit of sauce. Pequod's isn't just one of the best places for pizza in the city, it's one of the best restaurants in Chicago. " - adrian kane, veda kilaru
