Pequods Pizza

Pequod's on Clybourn is my deep dish go-to. The pepperoni with that caramelized cheese crust is worth every calorie. Order ahead, the wait is real.

the caramelized crust at Pequod's is just different. no one else does this

Pequod's caramelized cheese crust is what sets it apart from every other deep dish in Chicago. That ring of mozzarella around the pan gets crispy and chewy at the same time. The wait can be 45 minutes but it's always worth it.
