    First time here at this location to sit in and have lunch, since I work near by. We have ordered delivery before as well. Service was friendly and helpful. I went in, not to busy, but they didn't have any Pepperoni slices ready, and I couldn't wait 15 extra minutes on my lunch break, so I tried the Italian beef slice and it was good and I ordered a extra cup of peppers on the side. Not bad but a little expensive for just a slice and no drink or anything. At least I could get a small cup of ice water. Might be back, if in the mood for slice.

    Beggars Pizza is a short walk from Union Station so we stopped in after getting off a train. The guy behind the counter was super friendly! We were able to get pizza by the slice and a salad. The pizza special was a large slice of sausage and vegetable pizza. My husband ordered a slice of sausage deep dish. We split a Caesar salad and got two sodas although it looks like beer is available. The restaurant is a little run down and based on the traffic when we were there my guess is the majority of their business is from weekday lunchtime. Overall, if you are at Union Station and want to go somewhere nearby, give Beggars Pizza a try.

    Great pizza, good prices, fast and friendly service and the other items are also good. People have big opinions on pizza here, but you can always get people to agree on beggars.

    Nasty trash garbage..

    I'm from Connecticut where the beast pizza resides..in my travels I stopped here for one slice and the worst nasty shot box pizza I ever had in my life that i wouldn't even feed to my dog..hear a lot of raves about Chicago pizza but it's sub par...47 of the 48 states don't know what a real pizza is.. Your food is truck stop garbage!!!!!! Negative one star

    Deep dish spinach slice

    Always busy during lunch time. Salads are made fresh to order but pizza slices are hot and ready to go. I grabbed a deep dish spinach slice and it was pretty good. We were told that if we grabbed something fast and brought it back to class that we could get out early. Leaving early is always a plus. Most of us grabbed a slice of pizza.

    Decided to check out Beggars since I was in the mood for some pizza and this location is right next to Union Station and my office. I knew nothing about it before going in. I was very pleasantly surprised. It is a very large restaurant with plenty of seating and they have pre-made slices to save you a lot of time. I went with a couple of pre-made slices, one deep dish and one regular so I could try both and I thought they were pretty good. Perhaps not as good as some of my favorite places but a darn fine meal. Each slice was around $4 or $5 each so I think my total lunch was around $10 which is pretty good for an ample amount of food downtown.

    very disappointed in my order I ordered a medium sausage pizza with half onion and green peppers. the onions and green peppers were just thrown on top of the pizza instead of cooked into like it supposed to be. Me and wife order from here several times and this was a very disappointing pizza

    The pizza has 4 toppings and it does not bend when I hold it up in the air because the crust is burnt hard.

    I loved their pizza until 1 week ago. I got a pizza with the crust burnt on the bottom, it was crunchy like a cracker. I did notify them that I wasn't happy with it. I went back 2 weeks later giving them another try, the pizza was cooked properly but I think they're using a different pizza dough or they're making the crust too thin, it was crunchy like a cracker or cheap dough, it was like cardboard. The pizza needed some seasoning (cumin, oregano Italian seasoning) it tasted bland. I used to be a Home Run Inn pizza lover and will go back to Home Run Inn pizza because I don't like the cardboard dough and bland taste @ Beggars lately. , I've been eating here for the past 2 years but something has changed behind the scene.

    One Slice of Deep Dish Cheese Pizza and two slices of Thin Crust Cheese Pizza

    I would really rather give it a 3.5 but oh well! Anyways, it's really convenient location because it's right next to Union Station and is a nice quick bite to eat. The pizza is probably better when fresh, but unfortunately I got it cold by the slice. While I didn't think the "thin crust" (it's not really thin crust) pizza wasn't great, I thoroughly enjoyed their deep dish pizza. Service was quick but I did have to ask to get a code for the bathroom. There is a medium sized seating area inside too with some flatscreens for watching games. Overall, I'd go back for that deep dish especially if I was taking a train out of union station. And yes, they do "lay it on think" like their slogan says lol.

    Attention Amtrak riders, this location is right across the street from Union Station! I was excited to learn I could get pizza right before my train ride and even better, they sell it by the slice! No waiting an hour! Yessss! Pizza was delicious!!!

    Ravioli from the secret menu.

    Bet you didn't know they serve ravioli! They do, and it's good.

The wood‑paneled coziness,…read morethe dim lighting, the slightly chaotic entryway where a host with a clipboard controls the fate of your evening... it all sets the tone for a meal that's equal parts ritual and indulgence. They push the Mediterranean Bread, and honestly, you should let them. It's enormous, blistered, fragrant, and arrives like a hot air balloon made of carbs. More importantly, it gives you something genuinely delicious to tear into while you wait for the pizza pot pies to emerge from whatever subterranean chamber they're baked in. It's both a starter and a survival tool. A reservation is non‑negotiable unless you enjoy contemplating your own mortality in a weekend crowd. The wait times can stretch so long you could starve to death before your name is called -- and the regulars will nod knowingly as they step around your skeleton. Plan ahead. The salads are comically oversized, the kind of portions that make you wonder if they're meant for a family of four or a single very determined marathon runner. But let's be honest: no one is here for lettuce. We're all here for the pizza pot pie, that molten, bread‑wrapped, cheese‑laden dome of joy that defies every attempt at categorization. It's not deep dish, it's not thin crust -- it's its own thing entirely, and that's the point. This is the place you bring out‑of‑town guests when you want to show them something uniquely Chicago without defaulting to the usual deep‑dish suspects. But it's also the place you come back to on your own, because once you've had that pizza pot pie, it lives rent‑free in your brain until you return.
