Pequod's PizzaB+

2207 N Clybourn Ave, Chicago, IL 60614 · Pizza restaurant, Caterer, Family restaurant · North Side

Destination-worthy caramelized-crust pan pizza with long waits and inconsistent service; great for hearty pizza lovers, less ideal for quick meals or large groups.

Why this grade

Pequod's Pizza delivers on its iconic promise: exceptional caramelized-crust pan pizza that justifies its strong destination appeal and loyal following. However, inconsistent execution—ranging from perfectly baked to burnt or underbaked—combined with uneven service, lengthy waits and bake times, and occasional cleanliness concerns prevent a higher grade. It's a worthwhile neighborhood institution for those willing to navigate crowds and unpredictability for that signature crust.

One caveat: Bake times are long; appetizers can be slow too
