Pequod's Pizza Chicago Reviews
Delicious deep dish pizza in a casual environment with
Delicious deep dish pizza in a casual environment with decent service. My favorite part is the caramelized edges of the pizza with the ooey gooey cheese and perfect layers of pepperoni and sausage! So darn good!
I was very excited about experiencing a Chicago tradition
I was very excited about experiencing a Chicago tradition for the first time. We came around 8pm with no reservation and was able to get a seat right away. #winning!! It was very busy so we were lucky. I love the traditional Chicago public atmosp

We were a group of 6 all dining for the first time at Pequods over the weekend. Our server was great- friendly, patient, and attentive. Our pizzas tasted pretty good...pan style so there was a lot of bread. No AC so it was extremely hot in the dinin
Whether it's your first time or your 10th time Pequods
Whether it's your first time or your 10th time Pequods never seems to let me down. Iv come a few times and order a deep dish. This time around I came with my family that was visiting and I was lucky enough to have Noah really make them feel at
Like they need another great review.
...Well here it is!! Man this pizza is delicious, the worst part is waiting. We had mushrooms, sausage and meatballs. It was a perfect combination for us. 4 people and there was still one slice left to fight over later. Glad we did do appetizers
The Pizza was awesome but it was a Saturday night and
The Pizza was awesome but it was a Saturday night and someone (another server, not ours) aggressively gave us boxes and the check. If our server needed to close us out, just tell us! We would have closed out and started a new tab at the bar. Thats so

My friend came here a few months before me and told me this was what the locals recommended. I can see why. Online reservation system was easy to navigate and I appreciated that they asked about persons in your party with mobility issues, as they d
Came here for dinner with a couple friends.
We couldn't pre-order a pizza but the waitress came by right away to take our order and suggested a 10 inch was good for 2 people. She said the food would take about 45 minutes but it didn't feel that long at all. She also recommended 3 t
Favorite pizza of all time.
Sauce and crust are impeccable. Worth the wait! Pro tip- make reservations because they are always busy!
Best deep dish in all of Chicago.
It was highly recommended by quite a few locals and so we came here and we were not disappointed.
Iron skillet deep dish!!!
First time experiencing Chicagos famous “deep dish” and Pequod’s did not disappoint!! The burnt caramelized crust distinguishes Pequods from the rest!! You need to eat it hot tho! And takes about 40-50 minutes to arrive at table side! Service
Zarella's thumb's up, Pequod's not so much
Tonight was a tale of 2 pizzas. We had a medium pan pizza, 1/2 pepperoni, 1/2 mushroom which was good. The crust, sauce, cheese and toppings were all good and well prepared. Unfortunately, we ordered a medium thin crust pizza with the same toppin
Meh. Not What It Was Talked Up To Be
I know this place is famous and raved about and all, but just one out-of-towner’s personal opinion, it tasted a little like 2 Stouffer’s French Bread freezer pizzas stacked on top of each other. The crust that is so well loved by many, to me was
Authentic Chicago Pizza
Great pizza, casual atmosphere. We tried both the deep dish and thin crust and both were very tasty. We came with Chicago natives and they did not oversell it.
No. 1 rankings for pizza and mostaccioli
I've been a pizza lover since the late 1940s. My parents often entertained friends on Saturday nights in our recreation hall/party room/bar/basement. They would order several pizzas from the only pizza parlor in our area--they were big on pepper
Great deep dish
The wait for a deep dish pizza can be 45+ minutes, but the wait is worth it! The crust is good but its the sauce that really shines. Salads and appetizers are fine.
Good, but not as great as my daughter said it would be
Visiting Chicago for the fourth time, I always love to go out for pizza. My daughter chose Pequods as she said it was the best, authentic pizza in town. I humbly disagree. The service was very good despite being very crowded on a Saturday afternoo
Great pizza joint
I visited here after recommendation from a friend, it doesn't disappoint, it's a must visit for anyone in Chicago to try some truly great deep dish pizza, good portions of cheese and meat on the pizza, cooked very well and a lovely thick cr
Huge Dissapointment
Worst pizza I ever had. We ordered a thin crust --BIG MISTAKE-- and my daughter said it tasted like airport pizza! No flavor at all, not a crispy crust and too much cheese. The crust was like cardboard. I wish we would have tried the deep dish, but a
One must acquire a taste for Chicago deep dish pizza.
Good sauce and plenty of cheese. Need to give it a try.

Always love bringing out of towners here for a taste of the best Chicago deep dish. Careful not to get too many toppings, I find it best to keep it simple-- we got half sausage + onion and half pepperoni.
We ordered delivery.
Food was still warm upon delivery. We had medium pepperoni and large cheese deep dish, salad, mozzarella sticks and garlic cheese bread. Pizza was delicious. It was so much food we ate it for a few days after. I'd eat the pizza again. Yum.
The butteriest, yummy deep dish pizza I've had.
It was a truly authentic Chicago pizza experience with a thoughtful waitress. Be prepared for a wait since the pizza is deep with caramelized edges to the point of being burnt but not so! If you want to really experience the essence of Chicago deep

Pizza was great, better than most of the other popular
Pizza was great, better than most of the other popular pizza places like Lou's or Giordano's. The place itself is old, loud and pretty crowded (we sat upstairs in the back) I'll give the pizza a 4.6 but service, speed and atmosphere about a 3.5. D

pizza is delicious but ends there i would never want to take friends to the establishment...so tired...run down
This is my absolute favorite place for deep dish.
(Even before it featured on "The Bear") I love the caramelized crust, loaded topping and perfect amount of sauce. The small is perfect for two people with good appetite. Service was prompt and they even helped us get situated at a better ta
Came by during a weekday for their lunch special.
It was pretty busy, but I was still able to be seated. The crust was so buttery and had a good crisp to it. Bummed that the lunch special doesn't come out in a deep dish pan, but it was still very good. Pepperonis were a little over charred. Even tho
Garlic meatball sandwich
Garlic bread on our meatball sub was great. Pizza was cooked just right. We made an hour and a half detour to go to Pequod’s. We were not disappointed.
Very good pizza restaurant with good pizza
Very nice pizza restaurant! Even though this restaurant is short staffed its still has very good pizza. Th pepperoni pizza is my favourite. Probably one of my favourites in Chicago!
Pizzas fine but service not so great
Pizza was good - I especially like the sauce and the crusty “burnt” ends. It’s pretty much my favorite deep dish. Don’t love the experience. We ordered a couple small pizzas and one member of our party ordered chicken tenders. When the pi
Good but not as good as NY Style
Extremely busy place. Reservations are a must. The service was good and food arrived quickly, We were a bit disappointed in the thin crust pizza. Reviews were very good and a local recommended it to us but although the sauce and cheese were very

Great experience, true deep dish
Amazing pizza. I made sure to try deep dish when visiting Chicago and I’m glad my buddy took me here. I would go back in a heartbeat if I was staying longer. MAKE A RESERVATION. People were told sometimes 2-3 hours before they would be seated, and

Lovely manager and staff
Booked the right time at the wrong restaurant. Maree the manager was so helpful, despite the place being rammed found us a table. Victoria our waitress was also an Angel and looked after us all night.

My fave deep dish, and a convenient option before catching
My fave deep dish, and a convenient option before catching a movie across the street. I love the classic cheese pizza and the way the edges get caramelized! You'll need to make a reservation well in advance if you're looking to dine in, but the onlin
This was my first experience with deep dish.
Placing the online pickup order was easy. Pick up was smooth, just make sure you have your digital receipt. The pizza had great flavor, but not enough cheese and way too bready.
The pizza was good.
We tried the first weekend they were named the best pizza in the country. I personally enjoyed the crust. The kids enjoyed the thin crust cheese. I definitely would recommend trying it out.
2024 update! We can get delivery now.
Treat yourself! You won't regret it! Always the best and we have never had a bad pizza here.
The pizza here was the best deep dish I've ever had after
The pizza here was the best deep dish I've ever had after living in Chicagoland almost 50 years. Service was good and attentive even on a busy night. Great pizza place with the feel of just a regular pub.

Yes it's the best pizza in the USA! The crust is the best part for me. The sausage is so tasty and the cheese is so delicious. Excellent service. Waitress was very attentive and staff was accommodating for table away from heavy traffic area. The plac
That carmelized cheesy crust around the edges, makes it!
Was in town wanting to try deep dish pizza - just about everything I read online, mentioned the pizza here as one of the best. I had pizza at a couple of the other places too, but this one was my favorite. I loved that carmelized cheesy crust that
Connect with users posting reservations for Pequod's Pizza Chicago
AppointmentTrader is a community-driven platform where users can exchange their reservations or leverage their personal relationships with Pequod's Pizza Chicago. Buyers can make informed decisions using automated seller ratings, which reflect past transactions and reliability.
Each posting on AppointmentTrader shows you which user submitted it and along with that provides a trackrecord of that user which indicates how much experience
the user has and how many percent of their transactions resulted in them issuing a refund.
If there is no user posting that fits your schedule, you can bid on your preferred time.
Let's say Peter has a great morning and decides to take his three friends to Pequod's Pizza Chicago at 6 PM the same day.
He checks the restaurant's website and sees that no reservations are available. He then looks at the Pequod's Pizza Chicago page on AppointmentTrader, but finds that there are no user postings either.
That's where the community-driven bid process comes in.
Peter can place a bid on AppointmentTrader, which serves as a reward for any community member who chooses to work on securing the reservation. AT then notifies experienced users who may be able to help.
Step-by-Step Process
1.) Setting a Reward (Bid)
* AppointmentTrader uses historical data to recommend a reasonable reward amount for securing a reservation - let's say $100.
* Peter really wants to go, so he increases the bid (or reward) to $200.
* At this stage, the reservation does not exist yet.
2.) A Community User Picks Up the Bid
* DistinguishedTree58, an experienced AT user, has a strong track record of successfully securing reservations and low refund requests, they receive a notification about Peter's $200 bid.
* DistinguishedTree58 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to DistinguishedTree58 for any questions Peter may have as DistinguishedTree58 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* DistinguishedTree58 now uses their connections at Pequod's Pizza Chicago to secure the table.
* If they successfully get the 6 PM table for four, Peter receives a confirmation that the reservation has been secured.
* If DistinguishedTree58 fails to secure the reservation, the bid is returned to the pool so another user can try.
4.) Payment & Protection
* Once the reservation is secured, DistinguishedTree58 receives the $200 reward which is credited to DistinguishedTree58's AT balance, where users manage their own funds and can withdraw via available payout options such as bank transfer, PayPal, or Zelle.
* Peter can now enjoy the dinner with his friends at Pequod's Pizza Chicago!
* As with all transactions on AT, disputes and no-show fees are handled through the platform's community-driven resolution system. Users with a strong track record are incentivized to fulfill bids successfully, and community members can report issues to maintain trust in the marketplace.
