"Our hearts were in our throats waiting to see which pizza Richie would get for the woman who had never had deep dish. He chose correctly—unlike traditional Chicago-style deep dish (the often maligned version with sauce on top), Pequod’s does pan-style pies with a spicy sauce underneath the toppings and a thick, airy crust. What really sets the pizza here apart, though, is the caramelized crispy cheese around the edge. Which is why our heart broke when the fine-dining chef got rid of it during the plating (and that Richie let it go out to the table that way). We’re not mad at you, Richie—just disappointed." - adrian kane, nick allen
