"Pequod’s in Lincoln Park isn’t the easiest to get to from Chicago’s general downtown area—plan on an Uber fare, a train-to-bus situation, or a 90-minute stroll. But the caramelized crust on the edges of their deep dish alone raises it above its peers. Pequod’s is a two-floor sports bar that’s always busy at night with families and people watching the evening’s game, so walk-ins should expect a wait, and it’s another 30 to 45-minute wait after ordering the pie. But like the journey it took to be in the same building as one of our favorite pizzas, it’s more than worth it. " - sam faye, adrian kane, john ringor, veda kilaru, nick allen
