Chicago's Best-Kept Secret: Pequod's Legendary Deep-Dish Pizza šš„
Every Chicago visitor has deep-dish pizza on their must-eat list, but here's the truth most tourists never discover! While everyone raves about Giordano's and Lou Malnati's (with occasional shouts for Pizzeria Uno and Gino's East), real Chicagoans know the crown jewel is actually Pequod's Pizza - hidden away from the tourist traps! š The Caramelized Crust Game-Changer At first glance, Pequod's deep-dish might look similar to others... until you bite into that MAGICAL caramelized cheese crust! š¤Æ Unlike soggy imitations, they layer cheese all the way to the edge, creating a crispy, slightly charred rim that elevates every bite. The result? A perfect harmony of gooey cheese, hearty toppings, and that unforgettable crunch. As Somebody Feed Phil's host perfectly described: "It looks like casserole but eats like lasagna!" That crispy edge completely transforms the experience - no more "stew-like" complaints here! š Sides? Just Okay (But Who Cares?) ā¢ The house salad (pic 3) š„ - decent but forgettable ā¢ Buffalo wings (pic 4) š§ - standard bar fare Let's be real - you're here for the pizza! The salad is just for pretending this is a balanced meal š ā ļø Fair Warning: One slice = INSTANT fullness! ā” While Gino's East might offer more tourist-friendly single portions, true pizza connoisseurs agree - Pequod's flavor and texture are unbeatable. Come hungry, leave happy (and maybe with leftovers)! š Pequod's Pizza: 2207 N Clybourn Ave, Chicago, IL 60614 š Let's Pizza Party! Team Pequod's or diehard Lou's fan?
