    The Giant (1/2 pepperoni banana pepper and 1/2 sausage peppers)
    Jordan L.

    Ayooooo let me just start out by saying this place has one of the biggest pizzas I've ever seen! We ordered the 24 inch and that bad boy almost didn't fit in the car. I've heard great things about this place especially from my people up in Roger's Park. We ordered online and the pizza was ready at the time that they said. It's really just a take out spot so don't plan on dining in. They do have parking on the side which is nice and they're literally steps away from the Morse Red line stop. The front desk person was attentive and made sure our order was correct before we left. The pizza and salad was very good and I'd definitely come back.

    Dried chicken and dried out bread leftover probably from the weekend

    Today I was tired for work so I decided to order from my favorite restaurant I thought was my favorite and then my order came dried out chicken burnt bread disgusting this is not what I expect out of this restaurant especially since I've ordered for them multiple times for pizzas and then they sent me this unacceptable. I'm not happy with them. Totally disgusted about what they sent to me since I've always order them and expect it so much more I guess I'll be looking for a new place because this is not acceptable

    Family ordered JB's for a relaxing Friday night dinner. We had a thin crust and Friday perch dinner special. I enjoyed the fried perch. It was seasoned well and delicious. The pizza was as well. The person who took my order was friendly and kind. Our dinner was delivered on time as promised.

    The past few orders I placed have been disappointing. I ordered a half pound burger but barely got a quarter pound. It was dry and not at all like the burgers I ordered in the past. So far I've never been disappointed with my orders (lasagna, mostaccioli, barbecue beef sandwiches). I don't know if they have a new chef and this is what to expect

    Still a great place for local delivery! No need for door dash or uber eats! The best specials!

    Pizza and italian beef are amazing! Thin crust is rated # l in the USA! Their italian beef is amazing! Carryout only.

    Okay, I haven't tried the pizza yet, I've only eaten the Italian Beef with melted provolone cheese which is pretty darn good. I come here because they're open late. The last time I went the line was out the door of this delivery/take out only spot. I was greeted by a couple of nice ladies behind the counter. I ordered the Italian Beef with provolone and a couple of au jus on the side. Since I had to travel with it, I don't won't an overly soggy sandwich. I forgot to get hot giardiniera but luckily I had some at home. I got home and it was still nice and warm. I added the au jus and dipped my sandwich. The meat was tender and flavorful. The fries were hand cut and cooked well, fluffy and well salted.

    Fries were extremely thick

    Easily top five best pizzas Chicago. Sort of expensive but you will be fully satisfied given the size of the slices or bigger pizzas. Great balance of flavor yet nothing is overpowering. Pizzas seem to be made to order & were piping hot. I wish they were closer to downtown though. Took me damn near a half hour to get here & damn near an hour to get home with a 20 min prep time in between. Menu was extensive to say the least, burgers, shrimp, pasta, wings. I'll definitely return but I'd honestly need to be way up north to do so.

    Pizza slices.

    My fiancé and I came in for a slice and it was cold and stale. The cheese didn't have any kind of pull and was coagulated.

I've had deep dish pizza before, but I was not prepared for this - the real deal. Pequod's was the right choice. We ordered two pies - a half vegetable and half plain pie, and a meatball pie.

This PLACE DID NOT DISAPPOINT! We tried the basic deep dish pizza with pepperoni to go and it was delicious! The sauce was tasty and thick, while the burned edges gave it an added flavor unlike any pizza we have ever tried. The bread is not a "pie" crust but more a fluffy, thick bread. I do recommended you order ahead as it's a 45-50 minute process to cook the masterpiece. It was well worth wait. They have two entrances for this location. One is the pick-up and go side while the entrance closest to the street corner, is the sit-down restaurant. I did notice people waiting outside and when I walked in to see the vibe, they had a small bar area and had several high tables to sit at. The hostess was really sweet and I even bought a $1 sticker to remember our stop here. I highly recommend this location for your deep dish pizza experience!

Bayou in the sky- super super good. I would get this again. Hint of spice, hint of sweet. Carolina bbq- tasted like straight deli mustard. I would pass. The pizza, even though they advertise Detroit Style pizza, their take is more like Focaccia style pizza. They provide nice crunch, not enough sauce. Pretty airy dough. Drooling mushroom- they offer lots of mushrooms on top but the rest of the pizza was not too great. Next time, I would get Ham Radio- pepperoni, bacon, sausage, got and sweet pepper.

So delicious After getting it, my buddy had to get one too haha One of us had the moonwalk cheese, we go out for a lot of pizza together, and he said it was he thought his favorite of anywhere. Another one of our crew got the pepperoni pile up loved. And I got the sweet and salty space candy pizza With bacon, pineapple, pickled red onion, goat cheese, sambal. Genius, the goat cheese, instead of ricotta was the move for this pizza! All the flavors worked in perfect harmony.Nothing short of amazing. Cozy spot, super cool atmosphere, couple of old school arcade games like ninja Turtles let's goooo We had so much fun. The drinks were absolutely excellent as well. Oh my God cannot forget this drink program. Galactic gift basket and Jedi mind trick sooo fire.
