Pequod's Pizza (Clybourn Ave, Chicago)
Pequod's is built entirely around one technique, a ring of mozzarella laid at the rim of the pan so it caramelizes against the metal as the pie bakes, credited by the business itself to the late Burt Katz. The Clybourn Ave address is the in-city location; the technique itself and the original restaurant both started in suburban Morton Grove, which is not this record.
