Pequod’s Pizza

Pequod’s Pizza is a pan pizza restaurant at 2207 N Clybourn Ave, at Webster Avenue, in Lincoln Park, the city home of a business Burt Katz started in Morton Grove in 1971. Katz rang each pan with mozzarella so the cheese browned against the metal, and that caramelized crust is still the reason to come; the dough is airy and a bit chewy and the sauce is bright. The menu covers individual and full-size pan pizzas, thin crust, sandwiches and salads, with a full bar.
