Locals enjoyed the hometown pizzeria for its unique atmosphere and great deep dish pizza.

In June of 1986 the original owner sold the pizzeria, leading to a rebirth. New leadership has reinvigorated the restaurant. The menu expanded and a savory thin crust pizza was added to the fabled pan pizza. As word of mouth popularity grew, Pequod’s became the best known secret for pizza in Chicago’s northwest suburbs. Many of the faithful continue to make pilgrimages to Pequods even after moving from the Chicago area. January 1992 began a new chapter in the Pequod’s legend. In response to the pleading of many faithful customers, Pequods opened in the Lincoln Park neighborhood of Chicago. Thanks to the enthusiastic patronage of loyal customers, Pequod’s began to build a new cult following in the Windy City, quickly becoming known for late night pizza and delivery of their world class deep dish pizza.

With special fresh tomato sauce, Wisconsin cheeses, and a secret herbs recipe, our Deep Dish and Thin Crust Pizzas are the best pizzas Chicago has to offer.
