Illinois: Pequod's

Chicago’s pizza debates may rage on (deep-dish versus thin crust is serious business), but Pequod’s often comes out on top when it comes to the Windy City’s iconic deep-dish. This local institution has achieved near-legendary status — even earning a cameo in the hit TV drama The Bear — thanks to its unique take on Chicago-style pizza. Pequod’s signature is a ring of caramelized cheese baked onto the edges of the crust, adding a crispy, slightly smoky layer of deliciousness to every slice. In a city with countless deep-dish pizzerias, many Chicagoans (and visitors) flock here for what they consider the ultimate indulgence, making Pequod’s a must-visit for any pizza lover passing through Illinois.
