Staying in a VRBO across from Pequod's Pizza in Lincoln Park

by Albie, Monday, June 01, 2026, 13:47 (8 days ago)

for ten days visiting our son and I don't care what your opinion of deep dish pizza is but smelling that every evening has been amazing. We haven't eaten there yet but definitely will. Going to Little Goat Diner tonight.

Been going through the old posts on Chicago so hope to check out a bunch of the other recommended spots as well.

This thread has me jonesing for some Imo's

Imo's + Lion's Choice = crazy delicious

Ahhh man! I'll be there next month

by Captain Robb, Tuesday, June 02, 2026, 11:56 (7 days ago) @ Jay

I'll be getting some Ted Drewes and Red Hot Riplets to make a full weekend out of it.

I love Pequods. Wearing their T now. Morton Grove is cool.

And they have plenty of good shit other than deep dish, but their deep dish is the best. IMHO.

Too bready.

The caramelized cheese is good; if only there were more of it.

I prefer the "giant blob of cheese slathered in sauce" version of deep-dish (Chicago's, Giordano's) over the super bready Pequod's, if I am honest. I know it is sacrilege.

All that said, NY/NJ/CT thin crust is far superior anyway.

I’m with you. Overrated.

Give me a 40-year-cast-iron-pan job with the sauce on top like Gino’s East or Due.

Or the retro Chicago Cut cornmeal that is Barnaby’s. Sadly, they won’t take my Mug Ckub card these days but it was the best deal in South Bend.

It's the feature not a bug.

It is an uncovered topic, for sure.

I thought the Lincoln Park location was the original Pequods

by NDinVA @, Yorktown, VA, Monday, June 01, 2026, 17:24 (8 days ago) @ Albie

When I was in Chicago in February, my “Chicago Cousins” took me to the true original in Morton Grove.

It is super cool. Did you like?

Love it. I have even tried making it at home a few times.

by NDinVA @, Yorktown, VA, Tuesday, June 02, 2026, 10:23 (7 days ago) @ Grantland

Mine isn't bad, but I can't get the carmilization right. It's either underdone, or so burnt I can't get it out of the pan.

pequod's perma-post

Pequod's is different.

by domer.mq ⌂ @, Monday, June 01, 2026, 17:39 (8 days ago) @ Jay

It's Chicago Style, but it's the zenith of the style. I'd eat it 3 times this week were I in that ABnB.

I just noticed this on Instagram

But they have been doing suburban pick ups. They choose one different suburb each day in June. Lake Zurich tomorrow night.

They've been doing that for a while. Save your money. It

doesn't hold up at all during that process.

I'm as big a Pequod's fan as anyone here. But with that particular situation, you're way better off with fresh Malnatti's or Giordano's.

LOL that's why I posted it!

Also, going to the Music Box to catch a movie this week.
