"deep dish pizza $7.95 7 inch pizza lunch special Located in the Lincoln Park neighborhood of Chicago, Pequod’s is easily one of the, if not the, most popular non-franchised spots in town. This pizza gem was founded by the legendary pizza-man, Burt Katz, a little over 30 years ago. It would eventually be sold in 1986, but it’s remained one of the most beloved deep dish pizza spots in Chicago. The best thing about their pizza is undoubtedly their crust, as the edge is caramelized with a thin layer of cheese. While it is a bit thicker than most deep dish spots, the dough is perfectly balanced, creating both a light and airy crust, while also having a nice crisp to each bite. The sauce has a hint of sweet, with just the right amount of tang; creating the perfect balance of flavor. The overall ingredients of this pizza are so good that a plain pie can be enjoyed just as much as one with toppings. Although, I will say that their toppings are a welcomed addition as well. I am often amazed at the amount of Chicagoans I encounter who have yet to try Pequod’s. This spot is a definite must-try for not only residents of Chicago, but anyone who visits as well."

"Best pizza in Chicago hands down. Presentation (took an hour) and taste and able to eat as leftovers. "

"La pizza con mejores comentarios en 2022 cuando fuiste, más allá de las clásicas. El crust del borde es caramelizado un poco y eso la hace especial. Es la que más te ha gustado junto a Gino’s East "

"Finally went on 3/29/2024. Voted Yelp’s Best Pizza in America but I still like Giordano’s better (hot take !!). Space is cramped and gets super warm but glad to check it off the list. Visited for the second time with the Digital team in July 2025 and still stand by that take! The crust is just so burnt on the outside, although I do like the soft breadiness inside. It’s better than Lou’s. The service here was really jacked on the day we came (we were given the wrong pizzas, Greg was given the wrong beer, etc.) but I laughed internally that the metal tool that was used for grabbing/holding the pizza pan looked practically identical to a pap smear speculum."

@caroline.petrilli

"Pequod’s Pizza $ Pequod’s is a mainstay in the competitive Chicago pizza scene, but don't call it deep dish. Developed by the late Burt Katz (before he opened Burt’s Place), a legend in Chicago food lore, the style features a fluffier dough that is airier than most, with a dark ring of crispy caramelized cheese, thanks to the high-sided pan the pizza is cooked in. Prepare for a wait, or request a table online ahead of your visit."

@sethelgart

" Deep dish pizza. it’s the caramelized edge. That delicious ring of burnt cheese surrounding the pie, combined with the thick airy crust and perfectly spicy tomato sauce, is what makes Pequod’s something you need to eat before you die. Best to eat at restaurant because served in charred pan. Reviewers say pepperoni is #1, then sausage pepper and onion. Most consider it pan pizza vs deep dish. Very doughy. Crispy bottom and chewy crust. "
