Pequod's Pizza #BESTPIZZAONTHEPLANET

Pequods was a favorite when we lived in the city. The closest thing to Pequod’s by me now is Fiamme in Naperville and its Detroit style pan pizza. Amazballs. Shape is a little different, but I think the crust has more bite to it - always thought P’s was a little bland.
I always see this place now I have to order a pizza. Looks good
All this pizza talk, made me order a fucking pizza lol. Wife is out with our Daughter ring shopping. BF told her go find a few rings you like and bring me back ideas. Just me and the dogs here, so pizza ordered
Highly recommend. We regularly order from there. One of those places we want to see stick around. Skip the Grubhub and order straight from them. They turned their wait staff into delivery drivers.
Giordanos has perfected the deep dish chain pizza imo. There’s one here in Denver and it tastes just like any I’ve been to in the Chicagoland area.
My single biggest pizza disappointment was driving over an hour to go to a rosati’s here and it fucking sucking ass. I was so mad, the people there had no clue it should be any different.

Rosati's is like a step above Papa John's. Is it even worse in CO?
the one in Niles off Milwaukee and the one in Schaumburg near the mall are both awesome
There’s two chains and yes they’re all different.
Yeah, the Rosati's by my house (the one in south Arlington Heights) isn't good. Sauce is way too rich and overpowering. Better than the nationwide chains, but worse than just about every other local place I've had.
Anyone try Mug's? Not great by any means, but also isn't bad, and they deliver until 4am....and will deliver to whatever bar you are at also!

there is one in Schaumburg kitty corner from Lou's, and recently changed their hours to be open for lunch. I keep forgetting to go there for a burger or something.
I had Rosati's last week, wife hates it and kids love it. The kids had a half day last week, so I took a half day off work and we ate Rosati's and rewatched most of season 1 of Mandalorian.
I used to work in Arlington Heights and we'd have a monthly meeting where we'd bring in Rosati's for the company while the meeting was going on. Ever since then, I associate Rosati's with working in AH. I used to go pick it up off Buffalo Grove Rd I believe and I'd keep all the tabs off the pizza boxes and get free pizzas at home!

Gios is very consistent. I've had them in Phoenix and Las Vegas and it's essentially the exact same as the ones in Chicagoland.
Rosatis is an odd pizza chain. We had them all over Phoenix, but there were clear and distinctly different even from each other, let alone the places back in IL. I'm not sure if there are just 2 different chains with thr same name or its how they franchise.
Talking to the guys at the Niles one (worked next door for like 10 years and they’re a franchise but there’s two of them (some sort of family feud split like farm and fleet vs fleet farm) and he basically said they did their own thing as far as ingredients goes but get them from the same supplier. They did their own thing with sauce which I think is was their key to great pizza.
What's nice about Rosati's, is you can buy a 16" or 18" and get a free 12". So if you need quantity, say like a kids b-day party, or a football game party, etc, it's a great solution.
The place I worked at in Geneva does that too, but our biggest is 16" due to oven size limitations.

If you want cheap quantity for kids party, it's hard to beat the $5 Little Caesars classic pizzas. When I got Rosati's last week, large pepperoni and we had a free 12" cheese, it was still nearly $30! For $30, I could buy 6 pizzas at LC.
I'm actually having this for dinner tonight, will post pics. My son offered to pick it up if we paid. Nowhere near as good when taking it to go, but it will do lolWhat about this place? I hear everyone rave about the Chicago Pizza & Oven Grinder....but can't tell if its just touristy BS or not. Never had it....
