When it comes to pizza, I feel Rockford has some darn good pizza joints. While we might not get the national attention I feel some of those places should receive, there are some within driving distance that are getting some massive love.

Thrillist just put out a list of "The Best Pizzerias in America" and of the 25 nationwide pizza joints, three of them are in Illinois.

Pequod's:

Pequod’s Pizza developed a cult following by serving pan-style pizza with a “caramelized crust” edge. Mozzarella cheese is cooked along the edge of a cast-iron pan creating a crust unlike any other. Visit Pequod’s in Chicago and Morton Grove to try our famous caramelized crust for yourself.

Over the decade that Spacca Napoli’s doors have been open we’ve been a part of countless life celebrations. First dates, birthdays, engagements, rehearsal dinners, even an impromptu wedding all highlight how lives, community, food and memories are woven together. We welcome yours.
