This was the first time we visited this location for Beggars and the wife and I sat at the bar. Bar service was decent even though the bartender had to work the bar and surrounding tables and then had some table in the main dining area. She had a great personality and apologized a number of times. Luckily, the bar wasn't that crowded. Pizza was really good. They did somewhat mess up our order but it was resolved quickly. Overall decent experience and we would visit again. read more

The pizza and service is always excellent and if you like mozzarella sticks the portions are most generous as are the salads. If you're in the area for lunch, give the lunch buffet a try! The prices are very affordable too!! read more

Beggars Pizza - Bolingbrook - Deep dish pizza - Pizza Near Me - Bolingbrook, Illinois

Deep dish pizza is a VERY SAD Story! Don't get it. It doesn't even half way match deep dish from other Pizzerias-like Rosaiti's, Lou Malnati, Giordonios. Will never order it again and if you are a deep dish lover-you will be greatly my disappointed. Not even 1 inch thick. It should be called double thick thin crust!!! read more

I completely forgot to review this spot while I was in Chicago so better late than never. Beggars was AWESOME! We went there on a recommendation of my buddy's sister and we were not disappointed. The establishment was amazing. And throughout it all we met the owner who was born and raised in Chicago and he found out we were from New York so he came and asked us personally what did we think. New York Pizza and Chicago style pizza has always been a rivalry as long as I can remember. Even though they are both different the two styles i like very much. Of course when in Chicago you have to do a deep dish while in New York is the regular style pizza. This Chicago deep dish was an absolute favorite of mine. I told the owner it's the best deep dish I've ever had and he gifted me a Beggars t-shirt to take back home and let my friends know to come and visit. The ambiance to the restaurant was nice and chill with a bar and TV's going around it where you can enjoy a nice sports event while eating. The staff and obviously speaking with the owner directly was also nice to do while eating at any establishment. 5 Stars and I recommend this to anyone visiting Chicago! read more

Absolutely HORRIBLE ordering process. Was on the line for 12 minutes. Put my order in they had to call me back. Called me back and took my payment info. They then put me on hold for 10minutes saying they had to process the order. They then came back and said they had to transfer me to a manager. They transferred me to manager and the manger had no idea why I was transferred, no history of my order, and wasted my time. Will never be ordering from here again read more

Their deep dish is pretty good. The other food does not really stand out but it does taste good. I wouldn't entirely recommend someone to go here and that is because they do take a long time with the food. I always have to wait way beyond when my order is supposed to be ready when I do to go order. When it is dine in, it feels like forever when the food comes out. They are fast with the appetizers, though. The people are overall nice with the exception of some people who just give you your order without a simple "hello" or "you're welcome". The place is not dirty but it isn't that clean. The place looks good but also not that inviting. read more

THE LOVEABLE TRAMP Don't be dissuaded by the shabby-looking spokesperson--the pizza at Beggars is damn good. Residents of the Windy City and outlying suburbs have a plethora of pizza joints to choose from, whether cheap chains (Papa John's, Dominos, the Hut) or beloved Chicago institutions (Pequod's, Gino's East). And just like with sports teams, families have their allegiances (Lou Malnati's = yay! Giordano's = booooo). Well, THIS family digs Beggars more than just about any other place out there. Beggars Pizza is served at White Sox games, which is where my wife first had a slice and instantly fell in love. She found out we had a Beggars location 5 minutes from the house, and we've been low key obsessed with them ever since. Our typical order is a large 14" thin crust pepperoni ($26), although we've yet to try their deep dish or stuffed pizza.....maybe someday when we don't have sh*t to do for at least 48hrs. Prices are a bit higher than average, and we're OK with that since the quality of ingredients seems better than average. My toddler is a huge fan of the cheesy flatbread ($7.50), which is both delicious AND a good price when you consider a small (10") cheese pizza is $13. Why pay twice as much for the addition of tomato sauce? The bosco sticks (3 for $10) are soft breadsticks filled with cheese and served with marinara, they're great. The breaded zucchini ($7.25) with ranch are fine, but nowhere near crispy enough. I had to put them in the air fryer for 10-15 minutes to crisp 'em up more. The appetizer "pick 3" for $14 isn't a super deal, as you only get half portions. Get a full order of the mini tacos ($7.50) or cheese curds ($11) instead. * TL;DR * Pizza Exec 1: "hey guys, for our new restaurant logo I'm thinking of a dirty bum holding a pizza box" Pizza Exec 2: "a....WHAT??" PE1: "you know, like a grown-up version of Pigpen, but casual" PE2: "the filthy kid from Charlie Brown that's always surrounded by a cloud of debris?!?!" PE1: "yeah" PE2: "we are absolutely NOT going with that idea, Jerry. a hobo??? no one will want to eat here." The joke's on Pizza Exec #2, because as it turns out, if the food is tasty enough people will completely gloss over the fact that the brand ambassador is a homeless person. An odd choice, but it's certainly distinctive. We've exclusively ordered carryout, however as the weather gets warmer I can envision myself enjoying a pitcher of cold beer on their outdoor patio while waiting for a personal pie. I'm cool with throwing a little 5* love their way, seeing as how their pizza made my wife and son very happy. Oh, and one more thing: these guys LAY IT ON THICK (sorry, had to fit their tagline in here somewhere). read more

If you're ever out this way definitely go to beggars! We had the server Marjorie, she was so sweet and attentive. All of the food was amazing, me and my friends loved everything. I reccomend the server Marjorie, the individual pizza, and the chicken ceaser wrap. read more

Today a friend of mine went to the buffet. 12.95 for lunch includes a soft drink . I'm not a pizza snob, i do not say if one pizza is better than another, to me it's a matter of taste. My friend and i both agreed the deep dish was better than the thin crust. Not a bad deal for 13 dollars. read more

They recently started doing Free Bingo on Thursday nights. I was there with a group of people. The server had the entire bar area to herself, but she did a good job of managing it all. I ordered the Nachos just for something to snack on, and it came out as a huge platter: definitely enough to share! I was impressed that the server managed to do separate checks for our group of 6. I would definitely return again, but the place did get a bit crowded for Bingo. read more

Great place to eat and relax! Our server Mike was awesome! We came in late and he attended us with perfection. I have no clue why this place would receive bad reviews. Seems like entitled people made bad reviews. Cheese sticks , wings and pizza tasted delicious and we started at the original beggars in blue island. Come on people you have received good service here and fill out the 5 star reviews! Come here and enjoy the food and service! read more

I went there last week wensday,it's very clean, service is fast and accurate the diet coke was alright i prefer diet Pepsi, we had 2 large pizzas, one with sausage and pepperoni and jalapeños extra sauce, and a large taco pizza it had beef, lettuce, tomato and cheddar cheese, with black olive and sour cream, cooked just right, not raw or burnt, both pizzas the where delicious and filled us up well, the end read more

Service was great he helped me and I get her 5 stars restaurant clean bar nice food good. I eat at restaurant and bought one take home.

Nope. Not a fan of this pizza at all. Just my opinion. I do like fresh mushrooms and they tell you that they're fresh but they're not. They're a weird yellowish orange color and are completely flavorless. Didn't appreciate being lied to. read more

$38 for this "family size" pizza. I asked for half cheese half pepperoni and they put cheese on one half, pepperoni and sauce on the other. Never had an issue like this with any other pizza spot. Also $18 for plain cheeseburger. Over priced and mediocre. Will never order from here again. read more

Beggars Pizza - Bolingbrook - Pizza Thin Crust Pizza - Pizza Near Me - Bolingbrook, Illinois

Great price and quality for the lunch buffet! The place is kind of a dump and service is non-existent. I understand that part of the reason this location has a buffet is for profits at the expense of undercutting staff. The gentleman that helped us functioned as the only person who was responsible for being a host, waiter, cashier and phone order taker. There were two cooks making pizzas in the kitchen. If craving some of that great sauce on their deep dish pizzas then Beggars is your choice. Just don't expect to get top notch service. read more

This was our first time ordering at this location we order because of cures for cancer 20% of the purchase went to the cures for cancer We ordered a large sausage mushroom pizza the pizza was extremely filled to the brim ample mushrooms and sausage and cheese I like I will definitely come back if you need a pizza fix this is the place to come you guys rock beggars Pizza read more

Some of the best pizza ever! But what really makes the place is the AMAZING customer service. We love the pizza there. It's absolutely the best around! But, last minute venue change for our team spaghetti dinner had us calling around. Within the same day, we were able to lock in time, place, and menu. No one easier or prompter to work with to arrange a large group. They absolutely cater to local students and are superbly organized! Big thanks to Manager Chris! read more

This place is super pick up friendly! Make sure to give them the full 45-50 minutes to bake. The staff was super friendly and had both of our pies ready to go when we walked inside. The pizza itself was AMAZING. All of the ingredients were fresh and plentiful. One pie had sausage and Italian beef while the other one had pepperoni and banana peppers. Both were great! Two medium pies was definitely enough for three people with most of one as a left over. You know it's great when you have to slurp your cheese! read more

We always love Beggars pizza!! A bit more expensive than some but always top notch ingredients. Consistent great pizza and we have had Beggars from different locations throughout the Chicago area. We were just in to eat in the bar and were taken great care by their bartender, Mike. All around a great time! Nice large screen TV's across the bar. We have had pizzas delivered and always always served HOT and fresh... thanks to Rob!! read more

I went to Beggar's pizza in Bolingbrook because they have a buffet. I've always liked the food, and I've never had a complaint about their quality. The problem I have is if you're going to have a buffet, you need to manage it properly, I was sitting there for 10 minutes and nothing was happening to the buffet as far as replenishing it. You can't have patrons coming to your location on a lunchtime crunch and the buffet be completely empty, no pasta only a couple slices of pizza who's going to sit down and pay for that. The buffet is from 11 AM to 2 PM and I was there at 12:30 PM so it wasn't like it was the end of it. you guys are better than this. You need to fix this problem. read more

Never disappoints. They lay the cheese on thiccc. Flavorful sauce... I had sausage, Pepporoni & mushroom. Bueno!!!

I've always loved Beggars pizza weather I've eaten there at the restaurant, or taken it home

I don't care for their pizza. It's not the worst out there. It certainly is better than Pizza Hut and Domino's. But Chicago is a tough market for Pizza and it just doesn't make the cut for me which is too bad because the ambience is nice and I can walk to the restaurant. read more

We were here on a Saturday night; having a pizza on the patio. Sam was our waitress. They were doing a great job social distancing and had hand sanitizer available. The patio is partially covered so we got to a high top in the shade. The menu stated that a pizza would take a bit of time and our waitress shared it would be about 20-30 minutes. We were very comfortable on the patio; had a couple drinks and when the pizza came out; it was definitely worth the wait! Delicious!! Definitely worth going back to. read more

Awful tonight! We ordered the triple appetizer , mozzarella sticks, cheese curds and breaded ravioli. Ordered a pizza EXTRA THIN and then waited the 25 minutes for it to cook. Waitress brought us out a THICK CRUST pizza. NOT what we wanted. But guess what? The MANAGER decided that since the waitress put it in as a EXTRA THIN and her cook made it wrong, the MANAGER decided that she would give us a $6.00 discount!!! Not a free pizza to keep the customer happy, a $6.00 discount. Believe me, the manager there tonight was HORRIBLE. Does not have a clue how to keep customers. We WILL NOT BE COMING BACK THERE FOR A VEEEEEEEEEEEERY long time. REMEMBER, they don't care about you as a customer because WHEN BEGGAR'S SCREWS UP YOUR ORDER, you still have to pay. Doesn't matter if it's not what you want AND they're the ones who messed it up. The manager needs a lesson in people Skills. She has none. Gonna now try other pizza places in the Bolingbrook area. I hope the new places will actually care about customers being happy. Manager at Beggar's completely decided she doesn't want us back. read more

After being a Beggars pizza customer for over 30 years (I grew up in Blue Island) I may finally had my last slice. I ordered 2 pizzas a large Deep Dish with sausage, onions and mushrooms and a large thin which was ok. However my deep dish was burned on top and had no onions and the mushrooms were raw. If I did not know how to cook I would have let this slide but what they did was recycle a sausage pizza especially since the cheese was not even and the pizza was not hot in the bottom like it usually is. This is a joke and would never eat at that location again. No wonder it's always empty! read more

Went in on a Sunday at 5 and was told they couldn't seat us because they had big parties coming in and we needed to come back. The amount of space this restaurant has could accommodate a lot of customers. We went down the street and they sat us right away. read more

My family has eaten at 4 different beggars and this was the first time it was not even close to pile it on thick the pizza dough was dry and hard like crackers and the cheese was scarce bathrooms had no working soap so you know one was washing their hands including the kitchen gross now to mike the server my wife was the only one to order a drink me and my son had water her drink was only refilled once and she asked for a coke instead of a sprite he charged us for 2 drinks because he we all took a sip never encountered that a day in my life oh and can't forget the air conditioning wasn't on overall wish I can give them zero stars but just won't be going back and ps because I'm a business man myself I still tipped mike read more

We ordered pizza for our office staff on Wednesday July 10th. Two of pizzas completely ruined. They were both flipped. I called to report the issue and spoke with the manager, which couldn't compensate or deliver a replacement. She stated that we had to reach out to the delivery company. Horrible experience. read more

We tried this place on their grand opening. We were not impressed. After many suggestions of waiting until things settle down, we decided to give them a 2nd chance last night and well, they are still horrible! Let's start with the fact that when I buy over priced pizza and wings it sould atleast be made with FRESH NOT CANNED MUSHROOMS!! I cant even say this pizza is disgusting because it tasted like nothing, literally has no flavor at all! The crust is just terrible no flavor seems like its stale or over worked. We probably would have had a more flavorful meal just eating the box it came in! Just bland! The wings, eww all fat and terrible. In closing, you are better off buying a frozen pizza, it atleast has some flavor!! We will NOT be purchasing from Beggars again. We will stick to Al's! read more

Called 728 Phone Call Ended 735 Deep Dish Sausage and Pepperoni 1h15m ES. Wait Dropped off 831 Ok so i see ALOT of bad complaints on this place. So i went in with a open mind. Pizza was 15 mins early and it was still hot when it got here. Plenty of sausage on the pizza but the pepperoni was little low. Over all its a GOOD pizza. I have no idea what the complaints are about. One thing i can say is get the customer service together. It sounded like i was bothering someone when i called to get a pizza. Little more up beat when people call i mean you are LUCKY in this time to be getting a call for someone to order food. So pizza is good crisp crust and its a normal Chi Town deep dish. No complaints at all on the pizza. (I want my pepperoni tho) I had to put this tho: 1. The toppings are from the freezer box. (You should change that, use FRESH products) 2. Use QUALITY Sausage please! This is Chicago... read more

Beggars Pizza - Bolingbrook - Looks Good To Me. - Pizza Near Me - Bolingbrook, Illinois

This review is not about the pizza but about the "loaded " nachos! Saw a picture and they looked delicious. Tried them and disappointed is an understatement. A pile of tortilla chips with black olives ground beef sour cream and spoonful of tomatoes, some liquid cheese on the bottom and cold not even melted shredded cheese on top. No refried beans, no salsa or pico no guacamole. I had requested no jalapeños. All in all something I would never order again read more

Called a pizza order in for pick-up. Was quoted an hour. I'm fine with that. Would rather be told upfront. That wasn't the problem. Went to pick-up and was told they only accept cash. They didn't mention this on the phone. Was told to go to cash station and get cash. Sorry..... read more

No stars for this place. I ordered a thin crust pepperoni and sausage pizza and wings. Well as we are eating our pizza guess what's in it a long brown piece of someone's hair. Yessss under the thick ass cheese and in the sauce. Talk about feeling sick. This was my first time trying this place and MY last! It's just best to eat at home nowadays because these restaurants are just plain nasty and hire whatever help they can get! I don't recommend going here unless you like a little extra with your food! ugh horrible! 09/03/21 read more

Have been to this Bolingbrook location several times and have been very satisfied with the service and the food. Went today with my family, including a 3 yr old toddler and a baby. Was very happy with our service and food. Visited the restroom on the way out and found it to be clean and well stocked read more

Enjoyed our celebration in Bolingbrook. Marjorie, our server, and other staff were patient with children, assisted with putting tables together as more guests arrived, and were considerate of elderly as well as toddlers. The pizza, wings and all appetizers were delicious and hot. The restaurant was clean, and service was quick. read more

No working sanitizers, the one that worked definitely had water instead of sanitizer. Wanted to dine out with my family and there were ants on the table and seats as well crawling along the wall. We moved to a different booth and noticed there were even more. The manager stopped by because she wanted to see them so I just asked for my food to go as it was already coming out. They deducted $10 from our bill and apparently you have to ask for sauce on your pizza. Pretty sure I had pizza flavored communion. Worst beggars ever!!! At least they tried to clean up once they realized the problem, I can't wait to make some phone calls Monday read more

I order here in Bolingbrook all the time never have an issue with my food be good and hot and yummy
