\"Pequod's<\/a>
Pequod’s deep-dish pizza with sausage and black olive<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Why it’s another 2013 Best Bite<\/strong>: It turns out that Pequod’s is a well-kept pizza secret among locals. It doesn’t pop up on most of the standard deep-dish lists (Giordano’s, Gino’s East, Lou Malnati’s \u2013 you know the drill), but was definitely the best version I ate all year. The key is the blackened cheese rim around the crust which gives each slice extra caramelized crunch. Huge chunks of fennel-laced Italian sausage and salty olives made excellent toppings; I’m partial to spinach as well. Take out-of-town guests here and you’ll feel like a true Chicago insider.<\/p>\n

I also recommend reading my friend’s great account of our meal for Groupon<\/a>. <\/p>\n
