    Pizza was really good. Ordered a well done pizza with spinach, turkey sausage, peppers, extra sauce, and extra cheese. Ordered for pick up. Pizza was ready at the time I was told it would be. Pizza was really hot, fresh, and flavorful. Ladies at the register were really nice and made sure my order was correct!

    Usually this location is pretty good, been ordering from here for a bit. A $57 order and they forgot my gfs garlic and cheese bread. Usually I don’t trip about stuff like that but she really wanted it. We called and apparently they don’t refund or re-deliver, they offered store credit which we didn’t want, gf spoke to manager and they offered to bring $5? Why not just bring the rest of the order? Me not ordering from there anymore isn’t a big loss for a beggars pizza, I know that. Just a shame that customer service isn’t that great. When you pay $57 you expect your order to be right. It is what it is.

    Very good pizza, this is a nice spot for a family to dine in. Pizza selection is good with various toppings to choose from. The past is ok, but pizza is the best. They are not skimpy on the the toppings and you get your money's worth. Good crust and sauce, Sausage has a really good flavor. Staff is good and place looks clean. They serve pizza slices for a quick bite. Large parking lot.

    We ordered a small pizza with sausage, lasagna and zucchini. All of the food was well prepared, hot and delicious. Beggars is known for their more than average proportions of toppings and they disappoint! Its crust was crispy and thin which is the way I like it. The lasagna was layered well with a heaping amount of mozzarella. Some peeps may say it’s too much but since I’m a big eater, it wasn’t IMHO.

    Had to try Chicago style pizza during my visit. A very unique and tasty style of pizza. Friendly staff made my visit very enjoyable. Certainly worth the visit!

    Always delicious and the biggest bang for your dollar. It is the best managed Beggars in the chain. The thin crust is always crispy but still manages to bend a little under the weight of those mounds of sauce, cheese and sausage. Delicious, whether you're hungry or not.

    Went to Beggars Pizza last Friday 5/5/2023. My Hubby and I ordered a large sausage and cheese it was deliciously hot meaty and juicy. And I don't want to leave out our Exceptionally nice server FRANKIE she was genuinely nice and friendly great personality. I told her when we visit again I'd like her to take care of us again. Thank you FRANKIE

    Consistently good pizza. Friendly service. Easy to use online ordering.

  • 3/5 Sarah F. 1 year ago on Google
    I love their slices yet the last two times I ordered, the pizza was MUCH thinner than the slices. It even says we lay it on thick which is why Beggars has always been my fave. Lately the crust is just too thin and the toppings slid off during delivery this last time. My pizza was a hot mess. Hope it gets better.

    First I ordered a lasagna dinner for my 75 year old mom and to be delivered right down the street from the place and I specified that my mom is old and I wanna include tip. Apparently, they did not. I thought they did cause it costed 22.00 Then beggars driver begged my mom for a tip rudely. The lasagna was small. Only 1 layer And notified the manager and he just threw excuses at me for his poor facility. Ughh NOT again ever and hope they fold. At least that resteraunt. Ughh

    The customer service here is PHENOMENAL. Family of 3 dined in on Good Friday around 6pm. The dining room was empty, with the exception of the delivery drivers. It was open seating and we were tended to very promptly. The person taking our order was very pleasant and had GREAT customer service skills. We usually order pizza, but we decided to go with something different this time. We ordered a grilled chicken salad, buffalo wings, french fries, an Italian beef (dipped, with giardiniera peppers, red sauce and mozzarella cheese) and a cheese pizza from the kids menu. The wings were crunchy on the outside, yet juicy on the inside (very good) - they don't put the sauces on the wings, but we did get honey bbq and buffalo sauce on the side. The chicken on the salad was a bit burned around the edges, but we made it work. Fries were hot and the Italian beef was HUGE! Our server provided us with info on the rewards program, so we signed up. GREAT dine-in experience. Customer service is extremely important in the restaurant/service industry and our server is a GREAT ASSET for this location.

    Today I placed an online order here through Storefront at DoorDash per the website instructions. When we arrived for the pickup, they had the order under my maiden name. Since they had no control over this, and they called me to confirm my information, I let that pass by. What they did have control over, however, was the fact that after they confirmed my order, it wasn't ready! My husband and I had to wait another 35 to 40 minutes for our order!!! This tells me that they either gave our order to someone else, or they hadn't even bothered to fill the order until we showed up. We won't be back to this location!!!

    The pizza was burnt, dry, and cut in triangles. This is Chicago, we don't do triangles, we do squares! The people at the front were a bit rude, I want to say racist, but I'm not really sure! There was a group of about 6 Afro-American men that walked in as I was getting my pizza, one staff member said isn't the dining room closed. It was 9PM and they didn't close until 11. I walked in about 90 seconds before them and they said hello are you dining in...Seems a bit fishy!

    EXCELLENT CUSTOMER SERVICE THKU FRANKIE AND STAFF ALWAYS SO KIND AND LOVE THE TOUCHED BY ANGELS ALL OVER. LOVE IT DECORATED BEAUTIFULLY. BLESSINGS AND PROSPERITY ALWAYS

  • 5/5 Joseph B. 4 months ago on Google
    Top shelf all the way! Their motto is we lay it on thick and that's a fact! I ordered 2 family size, one regular sausage and cheese and the other one extra sausage and cheese! Man both had enough sausage and cheese to feed an army! And quality ingredients very good sausage not cheap or skimpy tasting. I'm 63 and ate a lot of different pizza's over the years and never had any this loaded! Oh yeah and if you like it well baked they did it perfectly! Best pizza in town BAR-NONE!!! Give it a try you won't be sorry! And the staff was great the two ladies at the front counter were more than friendly! One of them carried out the pizza's to the car for me because I use a cane. Appreciate it big time thanks again.

    I am so glad my friend suggested we grab dinner here, she said their gluten free pizza was good. Boy was she wrong, it was Excellent!!!! It is not easy to make a delicious gluten free pizza so hats off to the cooks. We decided to dine in and the waitress brought a fun attitude that enhanced our experience. I look forward to going back and I felt very comfortable dining in since everyone seemed to do a great job keeping things clean. Also happy to report that the following day the reheated pizza tasted good. Thanks to everyone working and providing great customer service and food.

    Staff was great, service excellent. Sorry not good with names but the server girl with the 2 tone hair did excellent. She was waiting all the tables and talking orders by herself. Excellent good

    Very good and professional staff. Very welcoming since order was for pick up. Very small place but cozy. Didn't have to wait long, since called in b4 coming. Ordered 3 pizzas all same size very good.

  • 5/5 Thomas J. 1 year ago on Google
    Think the delivery guys name was Duke if I remember correctly but yeah he was super friendly and my pizza arrived in less than the estimated time. Best deep dish on the south side for sure.

  • 5/5 Sheila g. 1 year ago on Google
    OMG!! I'm so glad we took my cousins recommendation to eat at Beggars! This was hands down the best pizza I've ever had(all 3 of us agreed), and trust me I've tried some of the top contenders in my 60 plus yrs. When they say "they lay it on thick" they mean it! We had the sausage pizza, man it was loaded with chunks of juicy flavorful sausage and topped with just the right amount of sauce and cheese. To add the icing on the cake,our server Paige was just a sweetheart! Super friendly, personable, and very accommodating. I wish they would come on down to Atlanta. We'd definitely show y'all some southern hospitality! 🥰👊❤

  • 5/5 Shirley L. 2 years ago on Google
    I really enjoyed every bite of our Pizza. It was my sister and myself first experience with Beggars Pizza. I must admit it was the best for us. Our combination of toppings were fitting to our taste bud's as well of being a vast amount. Nevertheless, we were satisfied. To all my East Coasters, Whenever in Chicago you have to try their pizzeria. (Mangiare)!

    SMH, here is a pic of my 5 1/2 piece wings. All fat and grissl after trying to eat them. Gave one star because this isn't the 1st time this location has messed up an order. Won't be a 3rd time!
