Located in Lincoln Park, Pequod's Pizza is a legendary Chicago institution known for its unique take on pan-style deep dish pizza. Instead of traditional pie crusts, Pequod's bakes cheese directly against the edge of a cast-iron pan to create a crispy, caramelized edge. The casual, lively joint offers rich toppings, craft beers, and a welcoming neighborhood atmosphere.
