20 Classic Restaurants In Chicago
"You can’t have a Chicago classics list without deep dish, and Pequod’s is the place we take any East Coaster with a pizza superiority complex. Unlike traditional Chicago-style deep dish, which has sauce on top, Pequod’s serves pan-style pies with a spicy sauce underneath the toppings and a thick and airy crust. What sets Pequod’s apart is its “caramelized” crust, also known as the burnt edges of crispy cheese surrounding the pie. The original is in Morton Grove, but we prefer the Lincoln Park location. It’s basically a sports bar: always crowded and perfect for a group. Order the pepperoni." - nick allen, john ringor, adrian kane
