Best Deep Dish Pizza In Chicago?

[superjohn]

I like the look of Pequod's. Definitely looks authentic. Going to attempt to have lunch there on Saturday. Followed by Yankees vs White Sox. I've been to Wrigley. Never to White Sox stadium... whatever it's called.

I'm going to the Yankees game tonight.

Big fan of Detroit style. We don’t have a ton of options for it in CT but I had it at Joey Garlic’s recently. Hits the spot!

I have heard good things about the Detroit style pizza at Christo’s in Wallingford but haven’t been yet. I think part of my problem may be that @Dove was the first recommend it, but I have since heard the same from people with functioning palates so I want to check it out next time I am out that way.

I've never been and know nothing about the place, but I'd think the Blanco from Square Peg is right up your alley.

JMHO, but I've had a few different slices of Detroit pizza out here in Pgh, and I think the style really shines when it's not a traditional red sauce/mozz/pepperoni slice. Those can be good, but you'd get pretty close to those just going to a chain like Jet's. Anyway, best Detroit I've had was a ricotta with lemon zest that was ethereal. Unfortunately, the folks that had the place moved back to Detroit. I miss it terribly.

I don’t know the Glastonbury place but that Blanco sounds terrible to me. Rosemary parm cream sauce? With goat cheese and ricotta and mozzarella? And basil and maple and chilies?

Hard pass for me.

And here I thought you were an adventurous eater

Anyway, doesn't say anything about the cream sauce on the Detroit pizza descriptions (2nd page) so I don't know if it's used there. I didn't read the regular white pie descriptions. I don't really care for maple myself, but I've had it in combination with chilies before and it's interesting.

The place could be the second comin of Le Bec Fin and if Dove recommended it, Im definitely not going.

The only ingredients I remember from that one are scallops and ranch.
