Beggars Pizza

I absolutely love the pizza here. One of the best places in Illinois for good pizza. Beggars has been like a beacon pizzeria for chicago. However a bit pricy for my liking, more coupons or discounts would be appreciated.

I usually love this pizza, however last week when I ordered from here I got sick for two days, I’m guessing food poisoning !

As a die hard pizza professional I must say this is the best pizza in Chicagoland all the others are second been going to this place along time always great service and even though I live out of town now it my first stop for summer break and Christmas break.

Excellent service and a GREAT value for the lunch buffet. This location in particular takes time to make sure it is kept clean and full. Same cannot be said for the location on 127^th St.

Worst Beggars Pizza dine-​in experience ever! We had to wait over 50 mins for a medium thin crust sausage pizza! We ended up walking out!!! The terrible waiter didn’t even keep us informed about our dine-​in meal.

LOVE Beggars! I used to live by Midway and usually had Beggars about once a week. I moved away last Summer & there aren’t any around me now, but I was out in Oak Forest earlier this week so I stopped in for dinner.
Service was GREAT! Hostess seated us immediately, asked if we preferred a booth or a table & we were seated in a booth in the back. Waitress came to grab out drink orders and pointed out their new rewards program (we didn’t sign up since this wasn’t going to be a regular thing, but she was very informative and not pushy about it.) We ordered an appetizer sampler, a small thin crust pizza, half & half toppings, and a small salad.
The only reason I’m giving 3 stars is because 1) the appetizer sampler was a joke. Its priced at $ 8.50 but it was so small. There were only 2 of us, so I wonder if they downsized it because of that, but honestly NOT worth $ 8.50. Pick something else, anything else. 2) the pizza just wasn’t as good as I remembered from the Midway location! It seemed a little burnt but they did get the half & half topping correct, which was nice.
I’d like to give this location another shot in the future but for right now, 3 stars seems about right.

Every time my family orders pizza, we order from Beggars! They have so many great toppings to choose from and great customer service. Even when dining in, everybody is so kind and there is a fantastic atmosphere! I would recommend Beggars to all of my friends!

No matter where I work there is a Beggars Pizza near by… so it has become a habit… grab a slice and go! I like this location has lunch specials. I always get a cheese slice… because they lay it on thick! Grated cheese and crushed red pepper and you’re good to go! I don’t car for the deep dish crust.

I love Beggar’s but unfortunately EVERYTIME I get carry out, I encounter the least friendliest high school/​college kids ever! I went in last week and as usual, an unfriendly young lady took my order as if she was perturbed that I was in there. The when I asked about Parmesan cheese, she said, and I quote, «it’s over there, put it on yourself.» I said I’d prefer to take some home, she said the packs are 10 cents each. NOT ONE CAME WITH THE SLICES! Then when I pulled out 2 dimes, she let me know it was 22 cents. Really??? So unfriendly and no free condiments? I will be finding me a new favorite pizza joint cause I don’t have to spend my hard earned dollars where they aren’t welcomed!

I will not patronize Beggers at 156^th and Cicero in Oak Forest ever. I guess African American dollars not green enough. The cashier was requesting identification from customers which is ok, if she asked for EVERYONE’S id. She only asked the African American customers. One Young Lady did not have her id and she told her she had to go to the cash station. Really? … But as the white customers was paying for their orders, did she request identification? Not at all. This is bad business. You should treat all customers the same because you never know who’s patronizing your establishment.

Disappointed in the pizza and service. The food took forever to come out over a hour for a deep dish pizza. The wings were good but I couldn’t understand what the hype about the pizza was about maybe compared to Pizza Hut or a lil ceasers it’s good. I ordered a slice of deep dish cheese which tasted like it been sitting all afternoon then reheated. I would rather go to barraccos down on Cicero anytime over this

Beggars is a must have when I come back home to visit. It’s nothing like some good pizza.

Came in to the buffet for a meal. Coming in I felt the host was rushing us to sit wherever she choose. This is no longer considered good service as the generations coming up prefer the freedom and flexibility.
My server was okay I requested napkins but the server reminded me to help myself and next time to get them myself at the buffet table. As a server your expected to serve your customer.
My only other compliant was when I felt rushed with a server doing a no no trying to grab my plate before I am done and ready to go. This has always been disrespectful and unless I put this dish to the side do not touch my plate or food. In fact don’t ask to take my plate ask me is there anything else that you can do for me?
Overall I had a great time I expect the servers behavior was that this was buffet time and I was expected to help myself this is why I left a generous tip as she was courteous and respectful.
After she noticed I gave a tip I got a nice thank you on the side. I figure my server doesn’t get much tips around buffet time. I had this experience elsewhere as well.
I have a belief if you help me I help you.
The food was amazing I noticed others complaining the food or the buffet seemed small.
Beggars size is smaller than most but even their «thin» is thick. So believe me those two slices are like six slices of another brand.
Come here and enjoy yourself the bar and the restaurant is clean and inviting it just needs more people!
I’ll be back remember servers take care of your customers and be rewarded.
Also this reviews stars can be adjusted for better or worse service in the future.

I used to love this location but my love has turned to hate. The employees are rude and careless and they don’t seem to take pride in the food anymore. I ordered a pizza last weekend because I was having company over, it was pouring rain all day on Saturday and my friend was kind enough to pick up the pizza on her way to my home. When she gets to us, we’re all starving. We open the box, and low and behold we open up a burnt pizza. Well I’ll be damned. Not only is it embarrassing that I’ve spoken so highly about the food I’m serving my friends and family, but now I got a nasty pizza. Have you ever eaten burnt deep dish? Don’t! The sauce that was once sweet and tangy is now bitter and tart. The spinach tasted wilted and the crust tasted charred and was very hard. I can’t believe any business owner was send such a monstrosity out of their door. When I called the restaurant and asked to speak with the manager, she seemed totally uninterested and unsympathetic. I asked if someone could come and bring us another pizza and this unprofessional woman told me no… And wasn’t even going to offer any sort of compensation for my hardship or gas or time wasted! I had to ask if I was going to refunded or something. This woman told me that the most she could do was give me a «partial refund» which was $ 10 back. Which I never got! Beggars, if your goal is to provide awful customer service and lose loyal customers, congratulations… You freaking succeeded. I won’t be back.

Service stinks! Pizza is poorly made! There are so many other places that deliver on service and product quality! What the heck happened Beggars? It’s obvious you don’t care anymore! You used to be the best!

Highly recommend this beggars, no wait, friendly service, fantastic food, & great pricing! There’s something for everyone!

If have found if you ask 5 people in Chicago where to go for the best pizza, you will get suggestions for 5 different places. While I certainly haven’t tried them all, this place is my favorite.
It’s all about the deep dish here, it’s very biscuit like in texture, but still crispy. There are layers of toppings and cheese it’s wonderful. I will be honest this place was my first time trying a deep dish. I have had several since and I found this place still holds at number one.
It’s a really large restaurant so I doubt there is ever a wait (we never had one) and their lunch buffet was a great way to sample everything.

The pizza gf pizza is good but greasy. The service sucks. You have to search for the server to get a drink refill and the check.

Some of the best pizza you can find on the south side.
They «Lay it on thick», which is probably referring to your love-​handles if you eat Beggars regularly.
Official pizza of the Chicago White Sox.
They also have really good wings.

This is a huge Beggar’s. A group of us (12) came here one Saturday night before we went bowling next door. They took a reservation on the phone and we were seated promptly. This location has a bunch of little off-​shoot rooms, I guess for private parties, but the place is big. They also have a really nice bar area.
Our server was fun and personable. The food came out in a reasonable amount of time. Some got pizza, others pasta, and I got a beef. All the food was consistent with any location.
I would probably come back and catch a game in the bar area.
