Usually get sausage or bbq pizza from here... Both options are fantastic. Tonight, ordered the taco pizza because we were feeling festive. It was disgusting. $30 for this wasn't worth it. The tomatoes were huge and not even warm. The olives also smelled funny. read more

Staff are idiots. Came in alone for a casual lunch on my way to the airport. Place is crawling with staff but it takes 5 mins to get a menu and 10 more mins before I just walk out after waving at a group of staff standing around who still ignore me and seeing several staff amble in and out of the restrooms. I work in service I know it's not that hard. read more

The pizza was horrible, it was extremely doughy even though I ordered thin crust, and BARELY any sauce that's why it was so dry. I have had beggars before at this location and they know better!!!! However, I guess this is what you get when you get out of work late and want to grab some food to go an hour before it closes -subpar food. read more

Substandard quality and sketchy customer service is the order of the day at this location.I unexpectedly went to this location only because i was trying to please a certain family member.This family member really likes this pizza franchise.I ordered the seven inch sausage & cheese thin crust cheese pizza for them.After eating exactly half of it,i asked them how they like it?They said it was okay.That means mediocre the last time i checked.I ordered ground beef and fresh garlic for my small 10 inch pizza.The female cashier that took my payment method most definitely had a pathetic look on their face,like i owed them something.I kind of wonder how they would've acted if i started some small talk with them? The vibe or frequency from their personality or content of character was so negative,i am actually glad i didn't take that risk.I saw that they had a "pizza of the week" thing going on at this location.This week "cheeseburger" is their "pizza of the week".So i ordered a slice of it,and ate that slice first.Almost immediately,i got a strange feeling in my throat.That pizza slice is similar enough to an actual cheeseburger,but it doesn't cover up the notion that whoever made this pizza probably didn't wash their hands at all or not the right way.The garlic taste on my 10 small pizza was inexcusably anemic.This is an infinite shame,because the location in Wrigleyville was proper in comparison to this West Loop location.Now i have to make sure my payment method wasn't overcharged,and take all of my all natural or organic liquid herbs and supplements again for immediate healing. read more

When I worked downtown, our company would cater monthly luncheons from this Beggars location. Always got chicken, thin and deep dish pizza, and other items. While the deep dish isn't as good as Uno's or Lou's, it's still really good. Love the thin crust though! I also stopped here on a few occasions during lunch to dine in. Service was good and prices are fair. read more

It was really good, I've never had this style of pizza before. But only go if you are okay with waiting awhile. Unless you use the little bar of pizza and salads they have but you only get to choose from what they have. All around, it is really good! read more

The service is here is simply atrocious. DO NOT GO HERE. I ordered a cheese pizza, mozzerella sticks and chicken tenders for pick up. They told me my order would be ready at 6:30. I got there at 6:30. They had not even started making my food. Told me it would be 20 minutes. I waited 30 minutes and they still hadn't said my food was ready. I went back to the counter. They said the pizza was ready but had not even started the mozzerella sticks and chicken tenders and that it would be another 20 minutes. They said that it was a different kitchen. And as my youngest child just said, the pizza is just ok. Just go to Bacinos, Giordanos or Unos and save yourself bad service and ordinary pizza. read more

I am a lover of pizza and when we needed a place to eat before we left Chicago I knew it had to be here. I had a deep dish cheese and I was not disappointed. And a Cesar salad enough for 2. Everything tasted fresh and right on time. I hope to get to get to come back on my way home. read more

Beggars Pizza - Deep dish cheese - Pizza Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Barf ewh yuck. In that order. The pizza was as crappy as the service. Dry...no flavor...just no. Not to mention the element that comes into that location made a crappy experience even crappier. Never again. read more

We ordered takeout for a party and requested food be delivered at a very specific time and they were there at the perfect time, hot and fresh. Only downside was they had made an error on the check and had to sort that out which was annoying to have to do when you're entertaining. Overall really pleased. read more

Terrible service today and no one cared one bit! Second order this week and they were ill concerned that what was promised online was not adhered to! So, we ordered out lunch at 10:30 am online for 12:30 delivery... well, it's 1:05 and no pizza. After being on hold for 7 minutes, I was told, well, we are busy!!! But I ordered online and was given a delivery time.... don't bother with Beggars for delivery on a busy day because they don't care. Such a shame! The food is good but we won't order anymore. Coming from a large business we will make someone else's business happy! This is our second order just this week. Don't count on them for anything timely! read more

Talk about Chicago Pizza!!!! This is the place! They do everything right and the crust OMG If you haven't had this Beggars pizza you're losing!!!! read more

Went to this place because I had a long layover with Amtrak and wanted Chicago pizza. So, the bad part first: I got the nachos. Cheese-whizz instead of actual cheese, flavorless sour cream and jalapenos that were only a little spicier than bell peppers. The pizza was ok. I got deep dish sausage. The crust was decent, but lacked the lighter flaky texture of better Chicago pizza places. Better than a frozen pizza, but not by a while lot. Service was good, and they had a good-enough beer selection read more

So I recently stopped into Beggars Pizza on my way traveling through Chicago. When I walked in I was pleasantly surprised on how nice and quaint it was. I decided to sit at the bar and have a few drinks and grab something to eat. I LOVE the selection behind the bar! I'm into craft beer and I was in shock on how many selections I had. Being a small bar I didn't dream I would have such a nice variety to choose from. I ordered a slice and a salad. The pizza was damn good! They do a good job at laying it on thick. The toppings were perfect and the flavor was incredible. The salad was fresh and delicious. The service was outstanding as well and I even met the manager named Justin who was very friendly and attentive. I travel through Chicago often and will always make my way to this Beggars. I've even had conversations with friends and we all agree that this place gets a huge thumbs up. Keep up the great work guys!!! read more

Best Customer service!!! Cristina our server was great, on her first day, and so was Venus our bartender..... I LOVE THIS PLACE!!! read more

Depending on what you order you might have a 20+ minute wait so make sure you have time you can kill but the food is really worth waiting for. Decent atmosphere and prices are good considering the sizes. Don't let a Small size order fool you by its name. read more

Beggars Pizza - Deep dish is good stuff - Pizza Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Went in with some coworkers last night, it was a pretty large group but that didnt slow the service down. The pizza was great, our servers were attentive, and the beers were nice and cold. Will definitely be back. read more

Extremely great service and delicious food. They are taking very good precautions for Covid. Very clean establishment that is constantly making sure everything is sanitized. Their pizza has a gourmet taste for a great price. Definitely recommend this place!! read more

I eat pizza a lot. Way more than my share and I feel like I know a thing or two when it comes to tasteful pizza. This pizza here is good. Nothing fancy. They don't try to be more than what they are and that is a big part of my reviews. I love the fact that the standard and deep dish. You can go wrong with either. This place is worth a stop if you are in a rush, hungry, and like some good 'ol Chicago style pizza options. read more

I just picked up my pizza from Beggars pizza Blue Island I ordered it online and when I got there the order was WRONG, I was about to leave it there but I didn't but I will not use this online ordering again, somebody can't follow instructions, I may need to find me another pizza parlor also, yes I'm mad wasted my money!!! read more

The burgers there were amazing; a juicy half pound of beef cooked to the level you desire (rare, medium, well cooked) with many combinations possible of toppings such as jalapenos, sautéed mushrooms, pickles, onions, tomatoes, salad, and many choices of cheese. There was also a nice choice of beers. And finaly the service was excellent; the waitress was more friendly and helpful than what i'm used to in most places. All that was for a very reasonable price. 4 Stars read more

The food wasn't that good. I only got appetizers (3 for $9.99) of breaded ravioli, mozarella sticks, and fries. It was all a little too salty. The breaded ravioli were a little "crunchy" on the edges, more like undercooked pasta and the mozarella sticks tasted a little processed. The service was great though and the guy who rang me out was really nice. read more

The guy that took our order seemed disinterested in us, his job, and anything going on around the world-- he was rude and not personable at all. I've been to tons of food places where the dudes are hardcore as hell and are still nice and grateful for your business. Don't come here-- the pizza... Well, the pizza was meh. What a big surprise! read more

So I work right around the corner from this Beggars location (you're welcome, internet stalkers) so needless to say I've ventured in a time or two, mainly with collegues or whatnot. I don't trust myself to lunch here in fear I'll gobble down so much pizza I'll be sick to my stomach, but when you're with a group and a pie is ordered, I feel lucky to grab a square or two. Wanna know why? This pizza is dope as hell. The bomb.com. Wicked awesome. I like that the sauce is savory. I'm so over this sweet pizza sauce trend. Gimme the salty, rich stuff any day! The crust rules, too. It's a hybrid between super thin and thick crust. Certainly substantial enough to hold up any and all toppings you could throw on this bad boy. Cheese? Don't I know it! Lots of yummy, stringy cheese induces serious pizza excitement. I recently discovered they deliver to my house. I'd like everyone to know that I may be calling you to remind me that I DO NOT need to order pizza from Beggars every night of the week. Vegetables are my friend. I repeat, DO NOT be surprised to hear from me asking you to talk me off a pizza binge ledge. read more

I was very excited about this place opening, until i found out that it's only open until 7pm and NOT on weekends! What kind of neighborhood place is this supposed to be when people who live in the area will never be able to eat here? Ridiculous management strategy really. If you're going to be a lunch place, close at 3pm. Or, you could try to make some money and stay open for dinner or on saturdays! read more

The best service around and been using them now for over 1 year. You can order beforte they open and it is hot every time, half and full tray salads delish and phone staff are so accommodating. The only pizza that looks just like the pictures!! Yum read more

I was definitely not impressed. I sat down at a tab here for dinner and the writer left us alone for about 30 minutes before even getting our order. When the pizza finally came out, it was cold. The drinks were expensive and the salad was soggy. read more

Shame. I am a native south sider and loved beggars. Glad that they are in Lakeview and Downtown now. Today was the first time I tried to order. I asked them how far north and west they went....they said North Ave and Western. Great I live on Chicago and Western. 20 minutes passed me telling them that I lived south of North Avenue and was in their delivery radius. Finally they stated they don't go west of Damen until they get to 2000 N......even though North is 1600 N. It became obvious that they were having driver issues and couldn't commit to their north and west boundary. I would have been fine with that admission. Instead I got the run around for 20 minutes. Too many quality pizza joints to deal with this bad service and lying. read more

I would like to start by saying that I am a fan of Beggars Pizza. However, this is my first experience at this location. The service here is much to be desired. Upon entry, my companion and I decided to sit at the bar. As this was a Wednesday, it was not busy sitting at the bar was casual. There was a lot of seats available. My meaning it that it was not busy and the waitress at the bar by the name of Erica was able to serve us. I give this location 2 stars because although the pizza is delicious as always, the service was absolutely awful, insulting, rude and dismissive. As I place my request for my beverage and made inquiries about the types of draft ciders offered, she responded in a snide fashion. Every time we tried to make a request of food, she walked away and turned her back. I had to place my order twice, meaning, I had to order my pizza she then walked off before I could finish my request. She returned 10 mins later to ask would I like something else, I had to ask for a salad afterward. My friend is a kind person, and still left a nice tip hoping to make her day better. He believes that being good will make people better. I personally do not believe in rewarding bad behavior. I will not be returning. read more

Decent food. They really do lay it on thick, so you get your money's worth of toppings on a thin crust. I like their deep dish slices as well. Great lunch spot, because it's a quick way to get a slice, and the prices are super reasonable. I haven't tried anything else, and there are many better places to go for dinner, so this will stay a quick lunch spot if I'm in the area. read more

Where to start.. It took about 15 minutes for someone to bring us menu's. Then after the wait they switched the waitress. The pizza was nothing to brag about its very similar to Home Run Inn. There was a table of 4 ppl that came way after us and they received their menu's as soon as they sat down and their pizza was delivered before us. The waiting time at this place is ridiculous. Also ordered a drink that had a dirty screw in it. Told the waitress who told the manager. Manager ended up coming to speak with us and gave us 50% off. Honestly the dine in experience was horrible. Gave 2 stars one each for the waitress and manager customer service skills. We will not be returning to this establishment. read more

Great stuffed pizza! And great italian beef sandwich!! I was in town for work and stayed at a hotel a few blocks away. I gave them a try for delivery, and it showed up hot, fresh and VERY tasty! I will definitely be ordering from them again when I am in town! read more

Went here because it was the nearest pizza place to where we were and I thought the pizza was great. They were generous with the sausage and my dr. pepper came in this huge cup-never had to ask for a refill through out the whole meal. Beggars pizza was a great find and I would go back for the pizza any day of the week. read more

I had a medium thin crust sausage pizza delivered. I couldn't check it upon delivery because I didn't want to let the delivery guy in so I used the pizza to sign the receipt. I now wish I had let him in. PIZZA WAS BURNT. read more

I'd like to begin with....This was an assigment my Eng 160 Professor, Nikki, made our class post up on yelp. I worked hard on this review. Hope you all enjoy and this review helps on your visit. I recently went out for lunch with my boyfriend and his sister to Beggar's Pizza; we were in a hurry and this pizzeria was the closest to my boyfriend's job. I had tried Beggar's Pizza from the city of Blue Island but this was my first time eating pizza from this location. The pizza from the Blue Island location was good and I was expecting about the same taste or even less tasty. Let me tell you one thing, it was tasty! The place looked small from the outside, but once we walked in, it actually wasn't that small. Although this location was smaller than the Blue Island location, it was able to fit about 75 people and it was set up in a friendly style. When we walked in the first thing we was the cashier and she greeted us with a warm and welcoming smile. She asked if we were ready to order but she decided to let us view the menu for a minute to see what we were going to order. Everyone but me ordered the sausage deep dish; I ordered the Pizza of the week, which happened to be my favorite, mushrooms and sausage. We ended up paying about $15 for the three slices of pizzas and a large drink. We had some Starbucks drinks and surprisingly we weren't asked to throw it out or drink it outside. I had experienced a situation in the Beggar's on the corner of 127th and Western where I was asked to throw away my drink if I was planning on eating there. The price we paid for our food wasn't that bad, but I've been to cheaper places. For example there is pizzeria near my house called Pizza Nova and their pizza's range from $2 to $3 per slice. Their pizza is good, especially for their price, but if you want something cheap near the Willis Tower area then Beggar's is your best choice. There is a Giordano's near by, but the price for the pizza slices would be more than what you would pay at Beggar's. The table we sat on was dirty; we had to clean it ourselves. The waitress who was in charge of checking up on the costumers never bothered to check up on us nor did she offer to clean the table for us. She had clearly seen that we were cleaning it with napkins that were given to us with our pizza. I understood that we didn't order a complete pizza or appetizers but that doesn't mean the employees shouldn't pay attention to the customers who consumed less. That bothered me a lot because the people who were next to us were being constantly being bugged on whether or not they needed something else. I ended up getting over it and just ate my pizza. I went to eat pizza, not to see how the waitresses served me. Although the costumer service isn't so great, their pizza is good and will definitely fill you up. Beggar's slogan is "We Lay it on Big," let me tell you, they DO lay it on big. My pizza was drowning with cheese, sausage and mushrooms. It had to be the best pizza I have ever ate. My boyfriend offered me a piece of his pizza, but it wasn't that great. The crust was beyond stale and it was yellow. I've had better deep-dish pizza from Giordano's. It's has a lot more tomato sauce and isn't dry. Although Giordano's doesn't over load your pizza with ingredients, it still tastes good. To be honest I'd prefer a heavy pizza filled with ingredients rather than a pizza that is limited to ingredients. With all this said, I would definitely go back to this Beggar's Location. Its right off the CTA's Clinton Blue Line stop and it is very convenient for any UIC commuter or any person who rides the Blue Line to and from work. It's a convenient place for anyone because like I mentioned before, it is not expensive and they have a great variety of pizzas. read more

Goooood pizza! I carried out so I am not sure how the service is but the deep dish is on par with the other deep dish pizzas in Chicago. The sauce and crust are savory. I love hot peppers on my pizza and this is one of the few places that have them. The pizza is a nice size. Each slice is thick but not overwhelmingly large like some of the other deep dish pizzas in the area. The place did not seem too crowded either so if you would like to try a new deep dish place that isn't Unos are Gioradanos give it a try. read more

Terrible service,unhelpful and unable staff is employed. Gave away our order!

Completely ruined the work lunch of 12 people. Ordred delivery, we were located less than a mile away. I was not given a deliver time window, but expected the customary one hour or less. As an hour approached I inquired as the order and it sounded like they hadn't even baked the pizzas yet. I was then given a "Sorry we are really busy, it might be there at the 2 hour mark". I explained to them that you just ruined the lunch and day of 12 people and that you should have relayed the delay from the start and I wouldnt have made the order. In the end I was stuck with $100 worth of pizza and half the people it was meant for had left by the time of delivery! I was offered nothing other than,"we are busy" Great just Beggars! read more

Very disappointed. My train arrived 3 hours late from Los Angeles. Before arriving in Chicago I researched restaurants near Union Station and picked Beggars for dinner. I ordered a pizza with Sausage, Mushroom, Canadian bacon, onion and premium beef. After waiting 30+ minutes the pizza arrived with green peppers instead of ground beef. I hate green peppers so I refused the pizza. They gave me a few slices of sausage pizza to compensate me as I could not wait or I would miss my train. Just a huge disappointment. Erica E did her best to accommodate me. read more

Beggars Pizza - You can see no green peppers were ordered not server mistake - Pizza Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

The worst deep dish pizza we've eaten. Has blonde heaar on the dough and you can't say it is our hair cuz we are all Asian with black hair in my house. My kids love all kind of pizza even frozen one. On Xmas Eve I bought this pizza and all they did were whine about how nasty the yellow dough and the sauce was terrible. Like a can tomatoes put on top of the dough and came watery besides flavor was awful. I can't believe my kids found pizza they don't like. And I paid good amount of money for one pizza. $ 30 for 14 inch pizza. I wished I just went to little ceasars, my kids probably would not complain at all. Plus they have us extra ingts. Buy my daughter notice the hair after she forcefully finished half of the pizza. I did not call about it to the rest. Cause it is Xmas and don't want to ruin the employees Xmas day. Although mine did, cuz if my kids could curse me, they probably would do it. I have 6 slices left from an 8 slices pizza. Now they don't want to eat it so I have to throw my 30 bucks to the garbage. Sorry for posting this but hopefully the blonde hair in the pizza will not happen to other costumer in the future. And the two slices taken out from the bucks were tossed after few bites. They told me they really couldn't eat them due to bad flavor and watery sauce. read more
