I only got a small which was overly priced at $22 dollars and I will not be back for more . It's better pizza for this ridiculous price .

At 1st, I was highly turned off because as a "foodie" I like to see the I inside of a new…read morerestaurant that I've never seen & I like to have a full experience of what the ambiance is and then choose where I'd like to sit but unfortunately the hostess refused my request to see the inside of the restaurant (something I've never experienced before) but after I explained that I'm a foodie & I do reviews & eat out a LOT, she conceded & allowed me to self "tour" the restaurant & sit wherever I wanted. (Exhausting mentally to be quite honest)!!! Ultimately, I chose the sidewalk patio seating area & was able to enjoy a wonderful & quiet evening in a very decent restaurant. My server, Cate was a 1st class waitress & performed her skills perfectly. I even asked her recommendations & she advised the deep dish. I took her advice & loved my pizza experience (thanks Cate, enjoy the $20!) You made it a great experience (other than the introduction with the hostess). I really liked the food, restaurant & overall experience! I wanted to give you guys 5 stars but in good conscience, the hostess ruined it for me so you get 4*'s. Thanks, Glen

Hey fellow Yelp users! I went to the Beggars Pizza Whiting location on Sunday, April 28, 2024, to…read moreget some early dinner with my boyfriend and his younger brother. Wait Time & Service: The day & time we went, there was no wait. We were immediately able to get seated no problem. Our server was Elena. She was very sweet & attentive. She got us refills without us even asking. She went above & beyond for customer service. She needs a raise stat. Food: The food tasted so good! We ended up ordering 1 order of mozzarella sticks, 1 order of cheesy potato munchers (I highly recommend this if you like tater tots with cheese, reminds me of the cheesy tots from Burger King), 1 large sausage + pepperoni thin crust pizza, & 1 sausage + cheese deep dish pizza. Overall Experience: Overall, I had a great experience with my visit at this location. I will definitely come back if I'm ever in the area or craving pizza from Beggars Pizza. I had a great experience up until the end. My boyfriend, his younger brother, & I were exiting out the place and we said thank you to the people in the front. The 2 young women in the front that day didn't say anything to us, which I thought was a bit rude (in my opinion at least). Aside from that, great service & delicious food. Bonus: They had a cute, nostalgic arcade at the back of the restaurant. I love arcades in general, so it was nice visit the arcade after we finished eating. I'm not sure if all Beggars Pizza locations have an arcade, but definitely a great addition to the restaurant especially for families. I hope this review helps this Beggars Pizza location & its current and future customers. Have an amazing day!

They had four beers listed, all niche styles that wouldn't appeal to most were 86'd, so basically, a brewery with two beer. The menu was small, generic bar food with zero creativity, and even then, four items weren't available. No real options, so we went with burgers and their so-called cheese curds. The burgers were way overcooked and dry, barely seasoned (just pepper), and honestly hard to eat. The "cheese curds" were just cubes of cheddar cut from a block. Not even trying. Service was a 3/10 at best. Feels like they'll be out of business soon. Won't be back.

Absolute must to visit. Pizza is A-mazing. They have a great food menu and daily specials if Pizza is not your thing. I come here one-twice a week, no joke. Cute place with full bar and back area if you come with someone under 21. Parking lot to the north and street parking. read more

It had an arrow pointing straight for Dine In. It stated Immediate Seating Available. My significant other and I entered through the door that stated JOHN'S FAMILY DINING Entrance. We were told we could choose a table to sit at. We chose a spot in the corner. I looked at the menu to see what was offered. I ordered a Glass Diet Pepsi. It was $3.25. From the Cocktails section, we got a Margarita. It was $8.50. The server gave us options for the flavor and we chose lime. The server gave us the options of salt or no salt and we chose salt. From the Pizza section, we got a Small 12" Cheese Pizza ...... 17.00. The Pasta section stated with Garlic Bread. Choose your Pasta and Sauce. Spaghetti * Angel Hair * Rigatoni Penne * Linguine. For the Pasta, we chose Penne. For the Sauce, we chose Phil's Special Meat Sauce. It was Mushrooms & Green Peppers....12.95. The Diet Pepsi was smooth and tasty. Both of the free refills I was given were as well. The Margarita was concocted beautifully. It was pleasant to sip on throughout my visit. The Cheese Pizza was simple, yet delicious. I couldn't stop eating it, but unfortunately I had to after the last slice. The Pasta caught me off guard with the hefty size of it. It looked fantastic and it surely was. The Garlic Bread had a nice crunch with a burst of flavor. I enjoyed it. The service was exceptional. I didn't have any issues. Overall, I had an excellent experience at this joint.

This is not always as easy as it sounds (here's looking at you, yelp that still doesn't match VEGAN correctly)! But I digress. This is about food. Or specifically, pizza, dough balls, and calzones. All of which.................happen to be vegan, with an entire dedicated vegan menu. Let's get into the food itself: dough balls: great, but the seasoning was kinda meh. It was basically pizza dough with pizza seasoning, the sauce was good! Something actually *unique* for the dough ball seasoning would have been welcome (see: difference spice options). Pizzas were perfect to me, it was a good thicker sort of crust witout being over the top. The calzone concept was cool but also a bit weird - half was entirely dough. I mean, it was good dough, but I would have settled for a slightly less enormous calzone than just excess dough. Maybe it was a coincidence. I don't know. In the end, none of that is a detractor. Overall, this is a good place to go! I know not every restaurant is fully vegan and I can live with that, but a full vegan menu with options? You have my business!
