Is Pequod's Pizza worth it in a day?
DependsIn a day
Keep Pequod's Pizza only when it outranks a half-day elsewhere.
Allow 1–1.5 hours (deep-dish bakes ~40 min).
A dark, sticky-table neighborhood pizzeria where the burnt-cheese ring around the crust is the whole point. Unpretentious and beloved by locals who'd never touch the tourist deep-dish chains.
