“This was an experience for sure! We had the thin pizza and it is better than the deep dish! I had pepperoni, sausage, black olives, and mushrooms. The staff were very helpful. It is small so I would go early. Reservations are recommended.”
“I've beenn reading that Pequod's is the number 1 place in the Chicagoland area. This was my first opportunity to try it and it was excellent. I just got the lunch special 7" pan pizza and added pepperoni. Everything about it was great. I will definitely be back.”
“As someone who's been to Italy and had plenty of pizza abroad, let it be known that Pequod's deep dish pizza beats the breaks off of pizza I flew across an ocean for. Some of the best pizza in the world is deep in the heart of the Windy City. Pequod's rules! 🍕”
“Delicious as advertised! Our server was a lovely young man that brought it to our table very quick.”
“After much research I selected Pequod’s as the must stop pizza place on my visit to Chicago. I made the right choice. 10/10 across the board. Down to earth staff but hard working. Extremely reasonable prices given their name. Expertly cooked. So tasty. Kids make me order wings and they were awesome too.”
“I took my boss here of you nights ago who's not from Chicago. We did not have a reservation and originally we were going to have to wait 2 hrs. Nick was amazing and was able to get us a table in 10 minutes! Our server was amazing as well. My boss loved the pizza and had a great experience. I wil definitely l be back.”
“First visit and first deep dish pizza. We decided on sausage. DELICIOUS!! The crust OMG!! Parking can be tricky. We visited the bookstore across the street so we paid for parking but that's the way it goes in Chicago. It was worth it!! Had a great time!! Friendly service, sat right away and didn't have a long wait for your pizza. I'll definitely be back!!”
“Great pizza, and I have pretty high standards. Good atmosphere as well. A bit loud, but not too hard to carry on a conversation. Definitely recommend advance reservation, it was busy the entire time we were there, but well worth it!”
