What People Are Saying About Pequod's Pizzeria
The Editor

Citysearch
In Short – Named for the ill-fated ship in "Moby Dick," Pequod's is a mix of no-nonsense servers, neighborhood families and college couples. Hundreds of photos and graffiti cover walls, with a smattering of local sports memorabilia. The menu offers Italian standards and starters like mozzarella sticks, zucchini sticks, jalapeno poppers and stuffed mushrooms. But it's the pizza, with signature caramelized cheese, sweet, flavorful sauce and generous toppings, that brings in the customers.

I go to Chicago for this pizza
by guardfrog
I have never lived in Chicago, but occasionally visit for business and/or visits with friends. I discovered Pequod's after visiting a friend in Lincoln Park and it has been my favorite pizza ever since. I've taken co-workers, friends, and family there when we've been in town. The pizza is unlike any I've ever eaten--it's the best. I don't know what else to say here, other than I've hopped in many a Chicago cab and told them to take me "near Webster and Clyburn" to Pequod's in my southern accent (I've never lived above the Mason Dixon line). That may disqualify me from judging pizza in some people's minds, but I guarantee you that if you eat a pizza at Pequod's, you'll know what I mean. It's been way too long...need to plan a trip.
- Pros: The greatest pizza I've encountered.
- Cons: They don't have one in other cities.

by acting
who is this register girl she was terrible... I went in friday night expecting everyone to be nice and friendly since all me friends have recommended this place to me... I went and got my pick up... the first two girls and the front table helped me right away... one of them went to go check on me pizza she came back and told me it would be five minutes... NO PROBLEM... the other girl asked me if i wanted to seat at the bar while i waited and i ordered a drink the bartender guy was hilarious! then the register girl (the one that looks like a man with a big nose) comes up to me all snobby and asked me if i wanted to pay... there are alot pretier girls in this restaurant and were not walking around thinkning that they were alot better than everyone.. the pizza is expensive but delicious... my fiance and i finished it so quickly... it was just so delicious... all of the employees were great i'm sure we all hate people who think they are better then everyone... maybe it's just me but i despise ugly snobby girls... other then that yes i will go back to pequod's YUMMMMMM
- Pros: the food was delicious
- Cons: the register girl was immature and snobby

Great Place for Pizza
by chgochick
Pequod's isn't anything fancy - actually, it's a bit "rundown" but that doesn't matter when you're going for great pizza. I'm partial to the pan pizza, so my comments are directed to the pan pizza. The service is quick and the staff is really friendly. Every once in awhile, I order their par baked pizza to cook at home and it always tastes as good as it does in the restaurant.
- Pros: Great Pizza and General Bar Food, Quick Service, Inexpensive Eats
- Cons: Parking is sometimes tough
