Visit Chicago: Pequod's Pizza

I did an IG poll asking followers for their recommendations on where to go for Chicago-style Deep Dish Pizza. My foodie pal, Yuko, mentioned Pequod's, so we went to check it out!

There are two locations - one in Chicago, and the other in Morton Grove.  Silly us went to the Chicago one in the late afternoon thinking we could walk right in, only to be told there's a 2.5-hour wait.

Luckily, the Morton Grove location took reservations and still had some available for the same night, so we went there later in the evening.  

Appetizer Combo

We had the Appetizer Combo to start (since the pizzas take about 45 minutes).  It included mozzarella sticks, fried zucchini, fried mushrooms, and jalapeno poppers.  Everything was delicious, deep-fried good!

We ordered a large pan pizza, half Pepperoni and Mushroom, half Sausage and Onion.

The server brings the pan to the table and actually serves everyone a piece.

I loved the pizza.  It was my fave of all the Chicago-style Deep Dish pizzas I tried, primarily because of the caramelized crust.

Of the two varieties, I liked the Sausage and Onion way more than I did my usual fave combo of Pepperoni and Mushroom.

The sausage itself was really flavorful, and I could taste a lot of the seasonings in it, which made for a much tastier pizza topping.

Thank you, Yuko, for the recommendation!
