The recent conversations about Chicago pizza inspired me to look around to see if anyone had published the recipe for Pequod’s crust. Sure enough, I found it at copymethat.com https://www.copymethat.com/r/WgnJPip...is_macua_ios=1
Of course, it has the warning that this is not for beginners. It’s been more than 30 years since I last tried to make my own pizza crust, so I’d sl I rank as a beginner. If I rack up the guts to try this anyway, wish me luck.

Draznnl have you seen the recipes at https://www.realdeepdish.com? I have made several of theirs and their recipe for “The Quod” (Pequod clone) is absolutely fantastic. I would definitely recommend it at least for comparison’s sake:

Side note, their zesty no-cook pizza sauce is all I use in my homemade pizzas of any style since I first tried it. The recipe is embedded in the Quod recipe.
NB: Those of us used to Meathead’s recipes, just bear with the formatting and asides; the pizza recipes are legit 🍕👍🏻

gcdmd I probably just overworked the heck out of that dough. The recipe makes enough dough for two pies, so I’ll try being nicer to it when I stretch it to fit the pan on pie No. 2. I’m pretty sure that’s where the issue was. If not, there’s always next time.
Ladies and gents here is the real deal. We’re celebrating a birthday today. Spent the afternoon downtown walking around and taking in the sights. Then onwards to the Pequods in Lincoln Park. Hands down our favorite deep dish Chicago style pizza. We also got a think crust too. Fantastic.
