"Chicago has spawned a long list of pizza chains slinging its signature deep-dish pies, including Pizzeria Uno, Giordano's, and Gino's East. But when you're in the city itself, there is one local spot that receives accolades more than any other. With only two locations, it has never tried to become a bigger chain, but that doesn't stop tourists and locals alike from lining up year after year."
"Pequod's Pizzeria was founded in 1970 in the Chicago suburb of Morton Grove, only to add a second location in the city's Lincoln Park neighborhood in 1992. Still, the chain is more popular than ever, mostly due to two big accolades it landed in the past few years. The first was being named as an essential Windy City institution on "The Bear." After that, it was touted as the number one pizza spot in the entire country by Yelp."
Pequod's Pizzeria began in 1970 in Morton Grove and opened a second location in Lincoln Park in 1992. The pizzeria attracts tourists and locals with frequent lines and long waits. The restaurant received high-profile recognition, including being named an essential Windy City institution on "The Bear" and being touted as the nation's top pizza spot by Yelp. Pequod's offers both Chicago deep-dish and thin-crust pizzas. The deep-dish distinguishes itself by a crust that resembles a cross between Detroit-style pan pizza and traditional Chicago deep-dish, with a robust edge and depth derived largely from cheese and sauce.
